AFL 2025 Second Preliminary Final - Cats v Hawks Fri Sept 19th 7:40pm EST (MCG)

[clyde]

Richmond melts was nearly as entertaining as the game.

 

[SA HAWK]

You not been supporting Bombers for long? Back when Essendon were still good you came from 42 points down at half time to beat Adelaide by nearly two goals in a prelim back in 93, I think that was a bigger capitulation that what we saw from Hawks today.

Geelong did look very shaky at quarter time, but don't think we capitulated, they just stepped it up.

Even in the first quarter we were fumbly Geelong were just worse.

Sicily needed to go forward very early on and Mitchell couldn't pull the trigger.

The disapointing thing is that Mitchell never gave you a realistic chance to win

Im worried.

 

[Seeds]

Unreal what unlimited salary cap space can do

When you are so good opposition fans have to make up fantasies to make sense of reality.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Unstable. If anyone knows him personally, help him

Don’t engage is my advice

 

[Osho]

Cats looked super at times once they negotiated the opening salvos from a gritty Hawks. Their ball movement and running midsized and small players is really excellent at putting oppo on the back foot.

Hawks kept in it though. They couldn't be completely put down, only controlled and managed.

I think Pies pose a threat to Cats with their defence, and whether they can score enough will be the question.

Can Brizzy with injuries and inconsistency win 2 big finals in a row? Not sure.

We couldn’t match their midfield the other 2 have better options than us.

Spot on mate, I concur.

Hes up there with Blakey

Blakey is a fantastic player who breaks lines and gets results.

It's a good point though . How do you pay all your players plus Jack Bowes under your salary cap?

Very early when it was 3 goals to 0?

Only mistake Sam made was playing CJ for the 3rd week running.

He was badly out coached all game.

He came out with the plan to run and carry in numbers while Geelong sagged back for the intercept.

once scott adjusted and pressed up hard around the ball carriers, mitchell was clueless

Same way you paid tom lynch an AA club captain CHF who you also gave up zero for with a premiership list

Bigfooty help

You have one severe diagnosis of geelo g derangement syndrome

You have to pay Dangerfield, Cameron, Stewart, Holmes, Biclavs, DeKoning, Stengle, Duncan, O'Connor, Atkins, Neil , Bruhn, Miers, Henry, Close and the rest of the list yet you can still afford to pay Bowes $800,000?
I'm sorry but it doesn't make any sense to me.

You are still going? You fled the bay in tears and now you are coping over a loss that didn't even include your team

Lol how much do you think neale is on?? He only came good swcond half of this season,And how much do you think a 35yo duncan is on with his 1yr extension?? Same with dekoning and no idea how you think bruhn is on big bucks either..

And bowes isnr on 800,000.

If you are going to post this stuff, at least try and get something right.

We are looking chocked full of A graders, but we have an elite system and coach.

Turn it up, through the middle part of the match we got reamed. Blind Freddy could have noticed it.

Wrong.

I like Dangerfield but he definately milked a few frees using his experience.
