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

[AM]

Anyway, it was fun to watch fair dinkum footy again

Fun, Fred? Not a the word I'd have chosen.

 

[FootyNoobie]

Just me or does our defence look much worse without Harry there? I have a feeling we'll only realise how much he contributed this year. I miss him already

 

[AM]

Constable 10 disposals in a quarter. 80% efficiency in the midfield. What else can he do.

Thought Chook showed a bit during his short game time. One of the good signs.

 

[cats_09]

I believe the ruckman they had playing in the last quarter was only 19. I think I heard Dwayne Russell mention it once or twice.

So you mean being at the game and not having to listen to tv commentary had its benefits?

Thought Atkins was a plus. But it's still one paced. We looked a bit that way all over the ground tonight. Think quick sides are going to course us some bother.

Next time I think I'm enjoying something, I'll check with you first to make sure I am.

 

[allrighty]

I am going to say this only once this year, fully knowing it will come back to bite me fair and square on the bum.

Here goes...

WTF can't people spell basic words?

 

[calder_daddy]

Can I have my virtual stubby now, lol? Hasn't even been on the ground yet

Which word/s?

 

[Seeds]

Blicavs
Henderson
Kolo
Henry
O’Connor
Stewart
Bews

Anyone who thinks they won’t all play is not paying attention. They will all play lots of games in 2021. And that doesn’t stop Atkins getting a game, if they want they will pick him too.

No one has questioned we wont play too many defenders, particularly too many slow tall immobile defenders.


we have just said its wrong. As history has proven year in year out. We had a player who should be playing on the second key foward playing on dustin martin in a grand final ffs.

 

[you pick one]

So today I've heard from the media and THE club Stanley had a knock,Stanley had an arm injury, Stanley had concussion.Poor bugger.

He definately looks better in defence.

cos they dont need to. Perfect accuracy is redundant. As long as you get 90 per cent there everyone knows what you are saying.

So he took a knock in last week's game, and then when walking to the rooms he fell down the stairs when he put his arm out to break his fall but instead broke his arm while at the same time he bumped his head causing the concussion...

 

[Baudolino]

So if Clark is part of our best 22 who do we use as our first-choice wingmen this year given that all of Menegola, Smith, Clark and Duncan are arguably at their best on a wing?

Well, since we didn't have anyone bothering to play in the middle tonight, just spread across them across the centre in a line of 4

PS and Tuohy makes 5

 

[Strange Cat]

I was just thinking of how Clark will fit in with Atkins down the back and smith and Duncan on the wings

Smith was starting half forward at times, working up the ground from there

So that's one option

The advantage of being at the ground.

 

[cats_09]

This is actually a pretty good tap by Jenkins to Higgins

 

[Catman]

I saw him arrive with two sons. They are all string beans and very tall.

Unfortunately he just has the one son, though three daughters could make the AFLW side interesting in a decade or so!

Very rudimentary and hastily compiled 22 which could have numerous combinations subbed in and out... but damn there is still quite a bit of AFL capable talent on the sidelines. We have a deep list.

 

[CatRiot]

I'd take Menegola off the wing. Play him a High Half Forward, with short stints at centre bounces. He ain't quick enough on the wing, even though he can run all day, we will be better served with pace - Duncan, I Smith, Clark - that's all star wingers right there

That's not set in concrete these days.
