Cats trail by 5 points at 25 min mark.

Cats have dominated the term but Hogan kicks his fifth to stem the tide.

First two to the cats in final term.

Sam blease hasn't played the 2nd due to concussion.

Casey by 37 at 3 qtr time. Rodan mustve had ten touches that term I reckon.

And now a fourth to fitz. Locals are in shock.

Fitz kicks his third from 55 and scorps lead by 34 points.

Hogan kicks his fourth after almost killing some Geelong bloke with a knee to the back of the head in a marking contest.

Taggert kicks another after dom Barry dances around a couple and does his best Aaron Davey kicking impersonation.

Pederson dobs one from 65. He has been bloody good.

Another to Casey after a monster tackle and laser pass from Hogan. They can't get near this kid.

Fitz lace out to hogan bit he shanks the set shot and cats take it down the other end and get one against the flow of play.

Fitz kicks another after a courageous mark by josh tynan running back with the flight.

Another to Casey they've hit the front four mins in.

Hogan kicks his third to start second half. Blease having a shocker by the way.

Clisby and fitz combine for a goal to put Casey 8 points down at half time.

Another to Hogan after stirring run from Pederson out from the last line of defence.

Goal to Hogan. Clisby has been good. cats by 13 points.

Quarter time score Casey 0.6 v Geelong 4.1 after Hogan hit the post after the siren after taking a pack mark over three Geelong players. Casey had more inside 50s but disposal going in so bad. At one stage Hogan had twenty metres on his opponent and Sam blease kicked the ball another twenty over his head!

First four now. Scorps defensive work and intensity around the contest is good but letting themselves down with horrendous delivery inside the forward 50. Few drops of rain now.

Ill be heading along to this game so ill post some updates for everyone.

Yes I was there and yes I saw plenty of Melbourne supporters around me cheer his substitution.

It was also another appalling move by Neeld who has methodically destroyed his confidence and toyed with him.

That's not true. Neeld has not destroyed Jack Watts' confidence. He has proven unable to cope with the demands of being a number 1 pick in the short time he's been in the AFL. Neeld has attempted to help him by releasing the shackles of being a lone forward in the worst club in the land and given him a role playing on a man down back. One which he has excelled in for the most part when fit.

I am a huge Jack Watts fan and I am dissapointed that he has not yet reached his potential but I also realise he is 22, and still learning the game...

In that Bombers game he was being buried by self doubt on the field. Neeld taking him off was merciful.

But let's make one thing clear... Jack Watts is responsible for Jack Watts' performance, no-one else.

That's freaky. I was thinking the same thing whilst I was doing the dishes last night.

I must completely over rate some players after reading some of the comments in these threads for those people who think Daisy is soft and the Col is not needed.

I wonder what he really has to do to earn the respect of some people here, it sounds like anything under 30 touches and 5 goals is not good enough.

Let's all agree that he is never going to be that star player, he will never win a brownlow and he will probably never win a coaches award for being the king of 1 percenters like our Jordie continually does. Also, he is not a leaders boot lace but that's not his fault. Some people are born with it, others aren't. Why should be try turn him into one?? Memories of Brad Green flood back.

He is a genuine HFF who has stints on the ball, ala Chappy or Stevey J and no I am not putting him anywhere near the standards of those two but his position should be similar 75% in the forward line with a chop out on the ball. Maybe if the ball was forward a bit more we would see some more Col action.

Now from the half way mark last year (and after coming back from a big injury pre season) he averaged 22 touches and a goal a game which I don't think is to bad in a team that was complete filth.

This year, removing the Essendon disgrace and noting our team is even worse than last year he is still averaging 20 touches and a goal. This is his limit and I don't know why so many would be happy to see a player getting these numbers leave.

Most will say that he is continually kicking long to no one which watching, yes I agree, but also from being at the games he has stuff all options to kick to, we all agree there is no spread and without Clarke or Dawes I'd probably rather kick it to an opposition player than Sellar as well.

We continually cry out for decent grade mids and the one player we have with some talent people are happy to see the back of.

Give this man a medal. Thank you sir. Unfortunately there are many fools round these parts who don't care for logic... just misdirected emotion...

That is pathetic, and sickening, Sylvia loves the club, wander down to Gosch's and say it to his face hero

+1.

Pretty sick of keyboard warriors having a crack at Col because they desperately want him to be better than he currently is able to be given a raft of circumstances.
