Preview Geelong Cats v Essendon, AAMI Community Series, Sat 6 Mar 7:10pm @ GMHBA Stadium

[Drunkcat]

Let him have the whole game to get some match fitness into him, geez I wouldn’t be writing off players after one bad half at the start of the year

Keep your panties on who has give up i just want to see Evans

 

[Strange Cat]

Our normal go through the motions hit-out. Bombers have thrown the kitchen sink at us lol.

Just get through the match, km’s in the legs and look forward to round 1.

Yep anyone trying to read more into the game than that is trying to create a narrative that’s not there

 

[CoreyJoel]

Thought Atkins was decent. That’s about it

 

[Gogeelong]

Clark has 18 disposals with a disposal efficiency of 72.2%.
Sure some of these are cheapies but still great return so far


Next best is Danger with 12.

Atkins IN
Bews OUT

Guy can't hit a target to save his life, and three missed kicks by a mile. Atkins has been incredible. SDK while doing a few nice things, is just not ready for AFL.

Jenkins can seriously just get in the bin already...so done with him

 

[AM]

The Bombers quicker. Have superior ball movement. More numbers around the ball. Not having a ruckman is costing us. Why aren't we holding our forwards back? Bombers should be 4 goals up. Thank goodness it's only a praccy.

Someone tell the coach to get a haircut. Looks like a dero.

 

[Gogeelong]

Solid with good efficiency. I think Bews could be played further up the ground.

Cameron's done alright from limited opportunities up forward.

 

[cats_09]

Tom Stewart injured or being managed? Haven't seen him since the first quarter

Stewart's fine, he may have spent extended time on the bench during that quarter but I did see him out there at various times

 

[Hello Kitty]

Seeing the club put the little plane in the updates made me do a double-take, thought it was a syringe at first glance

 

[Cataholic]

Weren't we going to win this comfortably a while ago?

Hawkins started well, and maybe could have had a couple of shots on goal himself if his teammates kicked to his upper body region rather than his shoelaces

 

[Strange Cat]

Touching tribute

Was going to say the same thing. Had his opponent done cold a few times but copped a shocking pass. Early signs for the Hawkins/Cameron duo have been promising imo.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Geez the Moondog is looking trim!

 

[winty]

I wonder if we're waiting to fall 4 goals behind before we flick the switch like we usually do.

That sounds familiar too......

Old habits die hard

 

[cats_09]

That sounds familiar too......

What if I add to the mix...

"A proper ruck option would be nice"

 

[Strange Cat]

We will have a 10 mins burst and then cruise for the rest of the game

 

[FredLeDeux]

Too much undirected long kicking.

Time to shorten it up with accurate passing so we can get some overlap running going.

 

[patience]

Seeing the three imports in the hoops reminds me of the old cricket world eleven teams.

 

[cats_09]

Zuth & Evans has been subbed into the game at half time, just saw them out of the ground

Not sure who's out though

 

[Cataholic]

What if I add to the mix...

"A proper ruck option would be nice"

Yes, it would be.

But while they're searching for that it'd be nice if they could have the rest of the guys brushing up on their skills by hand and foot...
