Game Day AFL Round 8 - Geelong vs Carlton

[InnocentBystandr]

Score says we're twice as good. But I reckon its only that we're kicking straighter (for once). Are we going to fade again (like every other week)?

Motlop is what my father refers to as a "head nodder."

Runs along behind a bloke and acts like he's chasing, but in reality is just going half arsed but throwing his head around to make it look like he's trying.

a head nodder.?.. yeah I say sheep dog but there you go. He is out of form , and running just looks like too much effort atm

 

[Teriyakicat]

Blues with 12 clearances that quarter, to the Cats' 8

(They won 7 in the centre, while we only had 2)

 

[Snow]

His deal with Brisbane is probably already done, so he feels no reason to try hard for the Cats. He's just dropping his value so his new club doesn't even have to pay us a somewhat decent token pick for him.

Your negativity intrigues me

Oh no, Scott is looking angry. Maybe you should coach the players better, Scotty. Not just act like a supporter.

You obviously know better than Scott, so please enlighten all of us and explain how you would go about coaching this group to a higher level.

Keen to hear it.

Ten goal win is par. Need to finish them.

 

[winty]

So the best coaches never show any anger? You have some very picky observations.

Maybe he would've been let off the hook if he punched a hole in the wall while walking out the door.

 

[Podsnap]

It's funny how quickly that happens to us too this year, it's happened in all our wins, any hint we're right on top we start getting cute.

That has been irritating me for the past three years.

 

[dazbroncos]

On the TV it looked like Motlop blatantly ignored Stanley front and centre in favour of a 2% probability boundary line dribble...

Can anyone confirm

I posted that earlier. Exactly what i saw...

GO Catters

 

[catman2006]

Some players struggling for consistency not a lot we can do

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Not sure why but I felt really bad for arm field

Follow a different club mate. Your posts are cringeworthy. Don't like it. Don't watch. Simple.

 

[Turbocat]

Really the way Geelong are playing , its like they went out to play with a the 2nd half in mind. Im really enjoying when the young guys get involved.
Lang , Gregson, Thurlow , Bews.... the one again who just doen't see enough ball is Kersten.

 

[Teriyakicat]

We are a bottom 10 side and Carlton usually give us a run for our money?

They have been giving us a run for our money when we were a top 4 side, Snow. Why would things change?

Selective observations TC.

Whatever suits his agenda.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

It feels like a very poor game, but the times we get our corridor game working we look pretty good. Carlton have been some periods where they've been on top too. The Cats need to stop fiddling around with the ball, and go long. Our forwards are generally on top, so kick it to them. I think if we bust them open this quarter we can end up winning by a large margin, as the Carlscum will just give up.

Come on, Cats, bury them!

That has been irritating me for the past three years.

Lack of discipline from the coach.

 

[nomoreklondikes]

Loving Lang's game tonight. Super pressure, very clean and smart when he gets it. Will be a player.

 

[AlcoaCat]

The Menz. 1-2 weeks! Awesome!

BB can make some really good points.

Sadly they are buried behind spewed vitriolic crap and often lost...

Go Catters

 

[Teriyakicat]

Cats seem to have used the interchange a lot more today than the Blues. Not sure how that stacks up against our usual numbers but we are normally quite stingy and keep plenty in reserve for late in the game.

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Typical that the biggest sooks on this board are the most prolific in this thread, typical armchair "supporter" who never go to the game?

 

[HoopsAhoy]

Hoop's Halftime Highlight - homemade popcorn showing far more action in a saucepan than has been seen in a half a game of insipid football.

They haven't??

You'll get used to it.

It's his speciality.

Menz!!!!! Sh!t takes time, is the moral of the story
