Game Day Round 19: Geelong V Brisbane, Battle of the Cats - Sat 22nd July 4:35pm @ GABBA

[Hello Kitty]

FMD

 

[Baudolino]

Poor from Jez to call for that.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

That was idiotic Close

Very dumb. But Cameron shouldn't have asked for it on the left. That one goes to the goal square, every time.

 

[And_ROOS]

Didn't expect a win, Lions at the gabba untouchable, but that first half might have just cost us a home final, and potentially even finals. It's happened too often this season where our players just look massively disinterested at the beginning of games. You can't just switch it on for finals.

 

[Cataholic]

Gutsy fightback, but we've got some real midfield problems.

We do, but the problems aren't just contained to the midfield.

 

[Grimoz]

Should have won this in the end, what a waste

 

[giggler99]

deplorable commentary by Huddo tonight

 

[catstorm]

* this team makes me mad

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Play 1 quarter of footy and lose by a couple kicks.

Well done Geelong.

 

[Mr Meow]

Genuinely had enough opportunities to win this match.

Awful decision making and execution going inside 50, and poor kicking at goal - have been death blows to the comeback.

Hard game to read.

 

[hoopla]

Interesting umpiring.

 

[Strange Cat]

Geez the Brisbane crowd are ferals and dopey looking things

 

[gogeelongcats]

simply not good enough.
they were too good.
maybe we make the eight maybe not
we cannot compete with the top sides anyway

Knevitt must come in

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

* Brisbane. Our midfield needs to get fixed if we want to do any damage and the boys should have a strong hard look in the mirror. We started playing after 2.5 quarters. Not happy

 

[cats_09]

Our mindset at the first bounce would be worthy of analysis.

I know there's some who put it on the coach and his ability to motivate the team on match day, but that seems a cop out & taking responsibility off the players themselves

You look at how strong we've come out the last fortnight on our home deck, so surely we aren't expected to believe that before tonight's match Scott or Dangerfield simply said to them, "well done for the last fortnight guys, but take it easy tonight and see what happens"

Players have to take responsibility to ensure their prepared for the match and ready when that ball is bounced - these are professional athletes, not amateurs working full time jobs who train once out twice a week & then rock up for a fun match on the weekend

 

[And_ROOS]

We do, but the problems aren't just contained to the midfield.

We are 1 quality mid and 1 decent mid away from top 4 and a flag this year. It is what it is.

 

[winty]

Outscored them 7.8 to 7.5 since quarter time.

 

[hoopla]

Two flukey goals the difference in the end. At least the cats improved

 

[kickazz]

Match summary:

Take the game in, we look good.


Corral / zone / guard grass : look s**t.

 

[Play it Sam]

Well that's it Cows win

 

[hoopla]

Geez the Brisbane crowd are ferals and dopey looking things

Kwornslanders

 

[kickazz]

Jezza slowly building, we need more from him.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Typical 2023 Geelong performance. Play shite most of the game, try to win with 1 qtr burst, only to waste our opportunities and lose the game that we could've won had we played more than 1 qtr.

 

[Baggins15]

Unlucky lads, umpires did their best to drag your team over the line.

Enjoy being premiership-less with this list and wasting your first genuine crack at it in decades. Didn’t rock up until five minutes before 3QT and yet still nearly got over the line hey?

 

[Reg Hickey]

That was all about clearances and contested possessions. Got smashed.
