Game Day Geelong vs Collingwood Practice Match @11AM

[MagpieJoel]

spare me. have i melted at all? im just saying our gameplan doesnt look solid and hasn't changed much. are you impressed so far? do you have anything else to go off?

I couldn't give a s**t how we play today. We could lose by 10 goals and it will have no impact on our year. I will worry once we a start playing real games.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Same old forward line

5 consecutive years of burnt 1st rounders starts to take its toll eventually.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Surfshark?

Nah, getflix.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I want to see Sier have a good game, building into the season. The vacated spot in the midfield is waiting for him.

Good to see WHE standup this quarter so far.

We are playing a very inexperienced midfield at the bounces.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

DeGoey and Adams back in the middle will make a difference but the non existent forward line is a massive issue

Almost like this has been an issue for close to a decade - glad to see we've addressed the deficiency.....

well done legend! good for you! i'd like to see some improvement with the team.

 

[Antz]

How are Treloar and Stephenson going?

No need to resort to insults.

These practice matches are used by teams differently. As an example, we had Cameron, the Brown brothers and another youngster in the centre bounce before. Do you think that's how we are going to run during the year?

Meanwhile at the same bounce, Geelong had Selwood, Guthrie and and Blicavs.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

That was beautiful movement of the footy

I don’t have any expectations for this year, I view it as a transition period, we likely to finish outside 8, but I wouldn’t get concerned over practice matches. I just want games into the kids. result is meaningless.
Carlton won the preseason cup and then went onto win the wooden spoon. Pre season means nothing .

 

[chestbrah]

Anyone else remember the melts and negative energy in the 2010 preseason threads? Not that this team is as capable, but it's a practice match.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Noble killing it this qtr.

 

[Antz]

Noble having a cracker!

 

[Gaben]

Genuine question, is there a more one-paced midfield in the comp than ours? We've gone back to the assed wombat days just without the contested ball beast benefit we had then...

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Noble looks like he is going to another level this year.

That is a lot more senior squad than what I was expecting to be named. I guess with only 2 hit outs before Round 1 they don't have much scope for giving younger players a go.

I think this gives a fair indication of who is in contention for Round 1.

+ Adams & JDG hopefully.

De Goey and Adams need to be surrounded by some good pace like Daicos and Noble and the quick of mind Pendles.

 

[whiskeytown]

Get used to it people.

Bottom 4 for marks inside 50 last year. Have rectified this by moving de Goey to midfield and trading Stephenson out

23 players on the list with 23 games or less AFL experience.

This year is going to be about development only.

Better quarter. Didn't allow Geelong to have the easy ball movement that they had in the first.

32 - 27. HT. Cats up.

Hawthorn?

Treloar out with that speed hurts.

 

[BEEG]

Quaynor how is he going?
