Autopsy Adelaide wins the prelim [WARNING: ZERO TOLERANCE TO TROLLING]

[Pure_Ownage]

Ah yeah that was bad.

Discuss here.

 

[JumpyHolden]

Never expected to win a GF this year, was only a matter of time before this happened.

Stanley, Lang, Kolo, Menzel need to go

Stringer, Ablett/Smith in

 

[thecatattack]

Menzel has proven why he was dropped week 1. Insipid

Stanley playing over Buzza? Horrible, horrible selection

I haven't seen the game, but Kolo's been excellent as a 1 on 1 defender when played in that role - assuming he played a wing-type role tonight?

 

[ryzza11]

Ah well what a bummer.
We love them but unfortunately we can't play for them sometimes
Wasn't a good game plan this week unfortunately. The problem is playing the unpressured zone was never a good decision at any time for a prelim.
I hate to think this is the end of our premiership window finally, what a big bloody window it has been though.
Could have had it worse than being a catters supporter the last 10 years

He played a s**t role is what he played

Jelwood tonight was absolutely inspirational.

We could harp on about how pathetic that showing was but really we just weren’t good enough, the Crows could not have played better in the first quarter and would be deserving premiers.

Something does need to be done about our tendency to start late during big games, it’s a mystery to me and obviously Scott.

The trade period is in a few weeks, and if we do it right I’m sure we’ll be back up there again.

As for the Mad Monday/Wacky Wednesday, after this I can see now why it is slightly disrespectful, and if I were lucky enough to be playing AFL football with a team good enough to make a preliminary final I’d be back out on the track Monday morning.

Season was over when we lost to Richmond that was the game and we dished up s**t. Tonight was just semantics

Should have lost by more.

Shame they didn't flog us by 100+ at least we would've seen change at the top.

Yep. Too many limited, sluggish, ordinary and at best inconsistent footballers. This and the Richmond loss should be enough to see us strip things back and stop playing the usual favs but hard not to be sceptical. Probably have Murdoch back in round one.

 

[thecatattack]

Lonergan and Mackie showed out like this. Disgraceful

 

[BotsMaster]

Same s**t different season.

Not surprised in the least. Feel for those that forked out for the trip over there to put up with this garbage

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

I hate to say I told you so, but I called it after scraping past Collingwood that Adelaide had our measure. This guarding space and playing off our man rubbish will not win a flag, ever.

Re his defensive work:

After suffering injury setbacks during the summer, Kolodjashnij returned to the senior fold for Geelong’s loss to Essendon in Round 8.

By early July he was the fourth best one-on-one defender in the competition, losing just 11 per cent of his duels.

Re: where he's played:

And the move hasn’t just been as a bit of relief for Geelong’s midfield, Kolodjashnij has spent a staggering 90 per cent of his playing time in the Cats’ engine room.

Between rounds eight and 18, Kolodjashnij had spent 99 per cent of his playing time in defence.

Get to say thanks to Domsy & Mackie for the past 15 years

 

[sauron256]

First Cats game I've ever turned off before half time.

Players should apologise to the supporters who made the effort to travel to see that. Skills deplorable.

 

[strauchnyy]

MUST

KEEP

MOTLOP
.

Nothing else to say about that putrid inept performances (coaches included and specifically Scott for starting danger forward).

 

[The Casey Cat]

I haven't seen the game, but Kolo's been excellent as a 1 on 1 defender

When? Sorry but he's never been good never mind excellent at anything, anywhere.

 

[Benny78]

Was won in the first quarter like usual. I really hope Lonergan and Mackie weren't secretly force retired. Could really use them next season.

 

[HaroLad]

No need to melt guys, yeah the margin was disappointing but Adelaide were just the better side.

 

[thecatattack]

I'm in disbelief that Stanley is an AFL player, let alone playing a do or die Prelim Final in Adelaide

 

[OzeSparky]

We have a few players that can't handle pressure.

WE need to recruit good kicking players. seems like we miss a bit

 

[The Casey Cat]

Yep. Just as big a problem as our turn overs.

 

[Footy Smarts]

There are a lot more positives from tonight than last year. We were competitive or better than Adelaide in a lot of areas but our turnovers played into their hands. Their first quarter was one of the great rebounding displays you'll ever see.
