Review Cats hang on by 3 points to beat Pies

[Cataholic]

He had a few rough moments but he went in hard and had good composure when needed

I have no doubt he will have his 300th soon

and give Blitz whatever he wants to get him signed up he was brilliant tonight

I wasn't sure what to expect but he was reasonably good, other than giving the Pies a couple of goals.

That sideways handball to absolutely no-one was a clanger like I've never seen

So proud of this club.

Danger is a cats legend. Been Selwood like this year.

We have a lot of accountability to young guys this week with a few outs and they stood up. Humphries, Dempsey in particular.

Mullin is our long term midfield tagger. That’s his role that he’ll thrive in.

Cats beat Pies and Dutton lost his seatq.
Life cannot get better
Danger field is a monster

 

[Commando]

One of the big thing I noticed tonight was all the over the top physicality from Maynard

He was always a flog in my book, but watching him closely tonight just confirmed it more

Biggest Faux tough guy in the league
Glorified half back flanker without the skills

Danger took that sliding mark and tried to stand up, so Maynard who was also on the ground, held him to stop him playing on. Should have been another 30 m penalty.

King making out like Geelong lead by 10 goals and Collingwood almost pinched it

So true. Poor plucky underdogs Collingwood, real Shakespearean tragedy vibes right now that they were denied a famous backs to the wall win at their home ground against a depleted side missing three of their first choice back 6.

So heartbreaking that such a romantic sporting story didn't happen.

Had to laugh at his sooking after Danger took the mark which lead to his 2nd goal. Wasn't even in the marking contest, held onto Danger, and then whinged to the umpire when Danger went to push him off but lost his balance and Danger's knee ended up on his chest.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Just noting:

Wiltshire - 2 games
Clark - 21 games
Lawson - 19 games
Mannagh - 17 games
Mullin - 25 games
Neale - 28 games
O'Sullivan - 9 games

A full third of the team under 30 games.

Insane.

Wow

2 years older and 50 games more experience

Brilliant game, great resolve to win that last quarter and the game.

Loved McRea's presser- honest, complimentary towards CS, Geelong, Danger, Mullin, and no blame or excuses. I continue to have nothing but respect for Collingwood- today did nothing but affirm that.

Always more relaxed when we are outside chances to win, and as many said this week, this IS the sort of game we win. A great start to May.

I do dread it when we no longer have Danger- brilliant matchwinning champion. We thought Selwood was a once a generation player, and he was, but Danger is every bit as influential.

 

[Romeoh1]

Yeehaa. Great game. Great win. Go cats. Very proud.

 

[The_Todd07]

The more I watch it, the more I'm convinced Blitz touched it.

When it was happening I thought I could see a slight deflection but wasn't sure. Now I can see that until it got close to blitz, that ball was absolutely going to hit the post. There's only one way it could possibly miss and that was being touched

 

[Romeoh1]

Dangerfield- what a player. Truly- am in awe of him.

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Really good to come back from behind, I thought we where gone midway through the 3rd but huge effort from the boys led by Captain, what a player.

 

[hoopla]

I’m loving this version of Danger. AFL Legend.

With his off the charts speed, determination, and strength, I’m convinced he could have been all time great in Rugby or League if he was born in a different state. A beast

Rugba lorg…yuck!!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Dangerfield requires a statue or something equally momentous in his honour at KP when he hangs them up.

He does. I haven't seen our greats from the 60s (obviously) but he's in the top 5 Geelong players I've ever seen.

 

[Commando]

I wasn't sure what to expect but he was reasonably good, other than giving the Pies a couple of goals.

That sideways handball to absolutely no-one was a clanger like I've never seen

Reckon he got the jumper wrong

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Hear, hear!

Mullin was great.

He'd make a great tagger/defensive mid.

Big strong bloke and speed to burn! Make him the next Lingy

Looked much better in the middle.

 

[Baudolino]

Reckon he got the jumper wrong

Watched the replay again and I think this might actually have been it. Saw a player out of the corner of his eye and mistakenly thought it was a Cat.

It was a measure of where Duncan has declined. There was space out in front that he normally runs 20m and kicks long-he knows he doesn't have the speed to do that anymore. So he tried to get it to a teammates advantage before he got run down he just couldn't get it to Cameron.
But he had some crucial efforts tonight he just can't be b22 in finals because he goes to ground.

 

[joe444]

Blitz said on radio that he touched it; good enough for me.

And the tackle was below the legs.
And I have no idea what that free on the half back flank was.
And it wasn't Htb against Blitz.

And what a bloody comeback.

I could have done without the last bit.

I live in an inner Melbourne left-wing seat, so I'd almost have wished for a ToP ad to break up the monotony of Greens and Socialist Alliance rants....

 

[frggr]

Reckon he got the jumper wrong

Yeah, but God forbid Collingwood should have to wear anything other than prison bars

 

[TheYid]

Never in doubt
