GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

[DutchDemons 1,442]

We look very switched on. That quarter fills me with confidence that @binman was on the money with his loading and fatigue theories for the first half last week. Ripper of a match so far, hope we can keep it up.

I think your close. 80% perhaps

[leave it to deever 17,618]

Lever and May already eight marks between them.

[layzie 34,528]

Intensity very high.

Feel like 15 frees is a lot for a quarter.

Yeah I think this year is going to be a write off. He is void of his usual confidence. Maybe having to pull his head in has really cut deep. 

[SPC 3,596]

Holding the ball is red hot.. at least for anyone wearing red

[layzie 34,528]

What are the fireworks for? May the 4th be with you or something?

[leave it to deever 17,618]

Cats have managed to flood our fwd line like they did against Carlton.

We have been efficient going fwd compared to them thanks to our mercurial defenders.

[MrFreeze 2,055]

Pressure is hot from both teams

Finish the quarter with higher disposal efficiency, we look good picking our way into their zone 

Good start but must keep up our intensity

Umps. Specsavers !!  
 

Mcvee. Lever.  May.  👏👏👏

[Maldonboy38 6,435]

Both team showing their best, lots of running and great skills. Our foot skills tonight have been outstanding. If we continue to stall them moving through the wing with an extra player loose, we win. 

Umpiring is a concern. Not from a bias point of view, but over umpiring minor discrepancies, and not seeing the ball being dropped by the tackled player. Frustrating. 

[Dr. Gonzo 24,468]

Any chance we can get @binman to teach these channel 7 nuffies a thing or 2 on commentary? For ex-players and people who watch the game for a living none of them have any idea.

Specifically about why our stats look different to prior years and how we "just find a way to hang on" despite the stats not looking great 🙄

Haha get stuffed Geelong 

Best post ever.

Such passionate disdain.

Love it Layzie.

I want us to beat this arrogant mob so much.

Anyone else not trust the paddle pop lion hanging around our huddle?

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

I’m still a bit uneasy at how easy the Cats move the ball from D50. It just shows what an elite defence does. Our Midfield is still really average. Just need one of our boys to go off the charts. Just one and we can split this game open.

It's almost as if they decide beforehand which rule are we red hot on tonight.
