Review Geelong defeats Sydney by 12 points - Rd 16, 2018

[Gavin Excell]

Getting 21 touches tonight is good to see, even if his use wasn't always great. He's still clever with the decision making and I think he's not too far from getting back to his early season form.

Parfs will be better for a good pre season

Is a potential midfield starter

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

Hawk was awesome. Should have kicked 4 or more

 

[Gavin Excell]

I hate Thursday night football, but we can sit back and watch the opposition now with no stress

Yes

Crises await and to be savoured

Lucky we kicked all those points or we would had lost...

 

[Duskfire]

I love Harry + a fantastic Geelong legend. . .But. . .I'd prefer Buzza, while SavRat is out or Crameri.

I just think we need to give Harry more time. Except for a brief game back he has been out since round 1. Needs to just get back into the flow. Could have kicked five goals last week. When we played Sydney in last years final Hawkins was quite ordinary and struggled to get it. Taylor being there takes a lot of focus from Tomahawk. I just don't think Buzza is quite there yet.

I have no doubt that next week or the week after Taylor will have a massive game.

does anyone else follow this?

currently rates us second in the comp, and 2nd in line for the flag. cant agree myself (and everyone else is yet to play this round, of course), but it simply crunches the numbers - move up when actual score exceeds expected score, and right when score conceded is below that expected.

Seriously, though - I'd rather play well and kick for goal badly, than play badly and kick for goal well. Sometimes you just have one of those days in front of goal.

I think opponents have started to work him out a little. But he got a little bit of it tonight, in slippery conditions. So hope he can turn it around

It was pleasing to see so many scoring opportunities , at least they took their chances and like I’ve previously mentioned they won’t always be that poor for goal kicking

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

He did it way more than anyone else, lazy long kicks forward.

My pet hate is the continuous handballs inside forward 50. They are obviously trying to create a loose man but it never seems to work.

 

[thegerman]

F*** yeah.

Wish big Tommy had kicked straight, what a leader he's been over the last two months.

He's been very good. Given how it's been delivered to him

 

[SydneyMalakellis]

That's the worst kicking I've seen since Aussie basketballer Thon Maker went full mortal kombat.

WINNER

 

[Down at K Park]

Agree. Give them a proper forward to play around (not Taylor) in Buzza and we can have an effective fwd line.

Taylor spent more time on the ground than standing up. Could not keep his feet at all.

If sav was playing i reckon he would have to go back to the vfl.

Abso*******lutely!!! You are right!

I bow to your wisdom.

Buzza is doing well considering he's still a Kitten, yes needs more time, but can only do that by playing games. But I agree with you about Taylor, I was harsh.

Off my game tonight, not thinking properly, only had one glass of wine

 

[frggr]

Can’t take the St Kilda our if Stanley I see......dating a school age kid

I know he's from SA and all, but that's his sister, isn't it?

Yes Buzza for some brute strength blended with Tommy and the smalls.
Menegola very good tonight.

 

[catman2006]

I thought we were ok and despite a last Q fade out at home, we have Sydney's measure pretty well last 3 games, the team is building nicely towards finals just need all players to find their form over next 5 weeks.

 

[patience]

Hawk was awesome. Should have kicked 4 or more

He's looking fitter and better every week.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Yup.

And JJ needs to stay in now. Just have him tackling like a beast; Sydney struggled to get out of our 50 and it's because of players like him.

Narkle wasn’t too shabby either......boy oh boy, is he going to be a player

 

[iameviljez]

Blicavs was poor and was clearly outclassed

Bit harsh, the bloke was in a moonboot all week

 

[frggr]

Lloyd went from 15 touches in the first quarter to 33 at full time.

 

[Hello Kitty]

I think the captain has a stalker in Daisy

I think Captain Courageous was *cough* firm *cough* for Daisy

 

[yeah_nah_yeah]

Only Menzel to replace Taylor and thats how our forward line should be structured. Loved the forward pressure tonight.

 

[DangerHere]

That's the worst kicking I've seen since Aussie basketballer Thon Maker went full mortal kombat.

WINNER

Lol - our 4 month old has a better kicking style than Thon.

Seriously!!

 

[Mr Blicavs]

She seemed pretty sweet on him...my bad if so.
Although, Sth Australians are just Tasmanians who can’t swim
