Game Day Cats V Blues 8 quarter Preseason Blockbuster.

[Willo_]

I'm just working through the replay bit by bit.. Goodness Neales set shot goal from 50 was absolutely effortless

 

[Mr Meow]

I don’t rate them.

I could easily see them bobbling out of the 8 this year and then coming back strong in 2025.

Question marks over Melbourne, St Kilda and Carlton for me (relative to anyone locking them in the 8).

Geelong, Adelaide and maybe Fremantle or Bulldogs could pounce.

 

[K rock Football]

Yeah but if you don’t know how to read it properly then you give false information.

Just a tip

Jase was just giving the current temp off the app

He had so many pieces of he puts it together we have a forward

I’m not saying he wasnt
I didn’t get to listen to your call, but I was around the corner in Parkville and just told another poster on here it’s not that hot.
Enjoy your night

Fremantle will be an interesting watch this season - very mixed feelings coming out of Cockburn at the moment.

Would have loved to have seen more of Mannagh.

I think he probably played maybe 1.5 quarters… but he looked completely comfortable and up to the level imo.

Maybe he continued with the VFL side.

I think he will play plenty of footy this year in the AFL.

He just knows how to play.

I'm also sceptical - they put together a very good backend of the year last year, but there is this false assumption that a prelim finalist will automatically improve and take the next step and it actually, going on statistics, more than often does not happen. I do think if Sam Walsh is fit and firing, he becomes the best player in the competition, however Harry McKay again looked worrying, Weitering under a cloud, Doc and Cripps getting a year older. Their 15-22 is solid - however I see Sydney, GWS, Lions and Pies as my top four, Carlton in that 4th-7th race

I don’t rate them.

 

[lettheboysplay]

Can Miers play regular minutes in the middle?

undoubtedly

Wasn't flustered. Had clean hands and the pace to make time for himself to pick out targets. Looked great.

Don't bother he's clearly not someone who listens to your broadcast.

 

[Two Planks]

Commentary and Guthrie injury the only downers for me today.

 

[Willo_]

I thing I constantly have done since we got him is underestimate the hard edge Bowes has, he has looked good so far today but geeze it's pleasing how willing he is to get his hands dirty

 

[Mattttty]

He took a few really nice contested marks, too. Impressive signs.

 

[Mattttty]

The delivery could've been better, but couldn't fault the content and insight both commentators provided.

You could definitely fault his content. And if Jess hadn't constantly asked him direct questions about Geelong, it would have been far worse than it was. Thank goodness for her professionalism there.

I see Cam Guthrie potential in Bowes.

And he did hint at that at the Suns, both as a back flanker and as a midfielder (briefly).

We got glimpses last season but an undefined role and getting to grips with a new system lead to a slightly disappointing start (only cause my hopes were high).

I know it's only a pre season game and he did similar last season, but I just see a really good player there. Hopefully he brings that to the table in 2024.

Bowes looked a different player entirely. A way to go but good signs

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Guthrie injury obviously disappointing, but outside that a really positive performance. We look a long long way ahead of where we were this time last year.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Did anyone see Parfitt play?

 

[Mattttty]

Agreed. One of our most impressive today. Got to the right spots and some really great disposal, too.

 

[Generalissimo]

How did Mitch Hardie go?

 

[CHAWKTS]

I just back my judgement in haha. Get some right and some wrong. I think shaun looked clearly ready today though. I agree dempsey is very close though too and its hard to fit both in. Maybe one of them will have to play up on a wing (especially if guthrie misses r1).

I trust your judgement.

But to be clear I am worried you Mannagh crush will dilute your Bruhn crush and I need you to keep the faith.

You and I have been on that crusade and we haven’t won everyone over yet!

I am ok for the mannagh crusade but only if you keep with me on Tanner!!

 

[Vdubs]

Did anyone see Parfitt play?

My question too. With CGuthrie out awhile, Parf again has an opportunity.

 

[foxdog50]

I haven’t submitted my B22 yet but Bowes will be in it after his game today.

That’s one fringe player I wasn’t sure about that I think will play.

What position was Bowes playing?
