Review Cats defeat Saints by 31 points

[Grimoz]

he did it when you were screaming about the team being diabolical and not going anywhere lol

Got a knock to both knees and ice on the left one. Nothing serious per KROCK

GO Catters

Ummm yeah no i didnt post anything like that so get back in your box Daz

 

[Cursed Cat]

SDK is so far out of touch you won't find his DNA on the ball.

not his best game, but huge effort to come back 3 weeks after an operation, no matter how non-invasive.

 

[STPer18]

Also the 'not 15m' rule was ridiculous today. Reckon we got stiffed on multiple occasions.

 

[Strange Cat]

cats_09 what did you say to make Stewart look up at you lol?

That's true, but then the presumption is you're good to go if you take the field.

Maybe a week too early?

Stanley having a good chat with Marshall after the game, probably giving him tips on the best farms around the area

Just telling him the induction meeting is at his farm before the full tour of the club

Just watched the replay of the Stewart mark which likely got a knock to the knee. How the **** was that not 50m penalty?

Umpiring in this game was diabolical.

 

[juzcat]

There was a moment when Danger dives on the ball, gathers it it and then jumps up like the proverbial pop up sprinkler dishes it off. Don't know of any other player who could and can do that. I'm gonna miss that the most

Atkins BnF

 

[AWOL]

Massive game from Atkins. Absolute heart and soul of the club, that bloke.

And agree on the poor adjudication of the 15m rule today. The metres were definitely longer going one way than the other.

So many dropped marks.
Nice to win.
Horrendous display of umpiring.

I never felt like umpiring was going to cost us the game so it's just annoying rather than anything more serious, but man it was annoying. HTB went back to pre-concussion adapted rules here and there but not consistently. Not 15s felt purely random.

Oh well, 4 points and we actually added % so who cares really. Just annoying though

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Important four points but we can’t win the flag with the back six playing like this. Specifically Stewart and De Koning.

Maybe you can say Stewart is hampered by his knee but regardless we can’t win the flag with his output at this level and De Koning having no defensive impact.

I have been hard on Tom Atkins over the journey but he is in great nick and was sensational today. 17 tackles to get the season record with five H&A games to go. Bravo.

Unfortunately have to agree.
The flag is out of of reach this year. We are no where it.

St Kilda under Ross Lyon are always a tricky proposition, this afternoon we put paid to any of their nonsense by getting out to a handy lead early on and forcing them to put goals on the board, which is not their strong suit.

St Kilda made a game of it to their credit, but we were good enough to respond each and every time we were challenged.

Lyon pulled one of his usual levers by ensuring Mitch Owens matched-up on Tom Stewart, with mixed results, however the Saints declined to send Windhager to Max Holmes, and Holmes was every bit as damaging as Wanganeen-Milera.

The club may have heard my pleas after last week's pantsing, in that they deployed Dangerfield in the centre square at the start of the last 3 quarters - and he duly chipped in with some handy clearances in all 3 stanzas.
As usual Danger's goalkicking left something to be desired; I was yelling at the screen for him to J-Curve that shot directly in front that he all-too-predictably missed in the 2nd - good to see him experiment (successfully) with the snap-set-shot later in the game.

Jack Martin has now produced a strong block of work with the club and he has edged ahead of a player like Jack Bowes in the pecking order. Really good today, tougher than I thought he was,stronger overhead, too.

Love myself a highly-efficient Jeremy Cameron game.
5.1, some good defensive pressure here and there, and put his head over the ball when he had to. Solid.

Lawson Humphries was stationed on the wing for much of today and did really well, 15 disposals doesn't look like much on paper but he was so assured and clever. 28 AFL games. Unbelievable.

Handy win, we could have dropped this game through complacency if we're not fair dinkum but we didn't and we are.

A few of us were a bit shy of Martin last week, and the jury was still out. I didn't realise he was starting forward and didn't like him hanging up there (and told him so, hehe).
Nekminit goal, so bad judge me, better judge MC. More than O Henry was giving us, and completed the game well. I knew they'd give him a run of games to see the material they recruited, so looks like he stays.
Now for Mullin to break through the criticism.

Been a bit of a blight on the season in general. Thought we were stiffed at least twice myself, and I try to be generous

Completely agree. Wasn’t going to determine the game, but god it’s frustrating.

 

[Pollywaffle]

SDK couldn't jump and was soft all day

So business as usual then..

He hasn't been spectacular by any means, but if he's in your bottom 4-5 players you're doing ok on current output.

 

[Grimoz]

Yep and any plebs from other clubs that say we get looked after by umps can eat a dick, 17-24 Saints way!!! We very rarely win the frees count

 

[DangerHere]

Happy the team got the 4 points, we’ve just flown in from Far North QLD (end of school holidays), and missed the game.

I was a little concerned about how we’d go today.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Stanley having a good chat with Marshall after the game, probably giving him tips on the best farms around the area

speculated on the same myself

 

[Jeff76]

Atkins easily our BOG, few others had their moments but nothing special. We need to find some form as this current form won’t win a final.

 

[Play it Sam]

Other than having a new name, there's no obvious issue when he's made it down to the rooms

Wes Bo. Doesn't go in for the fancy boots either.

 

[Grimoz]

Is Smith carrying an injury, just doesnt look to be covering the ground as well as he can
