Review AFL Round 1 autopsy - Geelong defeats Hawthorn by 7 points

[winty]

Hawks players should sue us for unpaid rent we've been in their heads for that long.

Jimmy and Sel, take a bow. Buddy Franklin, get a haircut.

I *ing love those boys!! Imagine what Jared Rivers makes of his change in club

 

[thecatattack]

10 in a row. How sweet it is!

 

[Bastet]

All hail the Kennett Curse. Long may it endure.

What a massive game, particularly from Selwood. Awesome stuff.

 

[Chism]

Great win guys and that was a massive effort after being 5 goals down and also add some dubious Umpiring that did not help.

Very impressed with the Cats today.

Rivers looked very happy at the end of the game.

 

[Seedsman_]

Man your team has some fantastic leaders. A special mention to Joel Selwood for his outstanding display today, ****ing brilliant. Well Done

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Everyone should go pat Sel on the back, amazing leadership.

 

[Turbocat]

Both sides will be better for that. We lacked some serous COOL near the end. Please just hit someone up.
George as a super sub NOT. On at the start would have been better. Probably will get dropped now
Smedts played well , needs to work on his setshots
Capt really brought us back into it. When the u know what hist the fans , its him I want in my side.

Lonergan , gets a thumbs up.Rivers , dumb Melb type mistake but over all good. Backline in general great!

We got flogged in the air. Need some effort there but loved the run. Playing West was the right choice...just. And give the kid credit, Well done Blitz.

Varcoes magic at times was great.Motlop could have been so influential. He lacked finish today. Though Hunt tried hard

Boy we miss Menzel in a game like this

 

[Whit3y]

now realizes how much we missed varcoe last year

 

[ajdude]

thought rivers played really well (barring the throw), caddy was encouraging but had poor disposal, blicavs was serviceable without dominating but showed good awareness with his hands at times

great win overall

 

[CatAttack84]

Ok, all I need to see is the Tomahug meme, and this victory is set. lol

Well done on coming back after such a terrible start. Very proud of so many young stars.

 

[Turbocat]

Caddy did ok. One thing he needs to work on is his vertical. Big difference between him and Bartel is this ability.

 

[Thundercracker]

Good win by the lads, especially with being so far down during the second quarter and the umpires trying to get the Hawks to win in the last quarter. Hopefully the curse continues for the Hawks the next time we meet them!

 

[morebeer]

Wells has done it again, with bugger all high draft picks. Your kids are coming through beautifully, this time with added pace.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

I said our younger players would need to stand up for us to win, and they did.

Fantastic effort from us, especially after a poor start. Just looked too quick and our defence was rock solid. Smedts looks to be coming along really well.

 

[Catdog]

Super effort Cats!!!
Varcoe's 2nd efforts brilliant
Such a good turnaround we looked lost in the first half

 

[Turbocat]

Do remember guys , we should have been down by 6 at half time. Heaps to work on.
Will be a couple changes min next week.

 

[CatAttack84]

Hmm, misplaced a link to the Tomahug meme, so let's thank our overlords from afl.com.au for this one:

 

[dazbroncos]

Massive win for us...
1st 1/2 we were rubbish...and pulled it out..
Selsy is just MASSive...

Cads just dropped the we hate Hawthorn in the KROCK interview... speaks his mind... NICE!!

Smedtsy, Hypen, Bundy, Mitch , MACKIE, Rivers.... all good things. Blitz was servicable and has certainly got a future...
Varcoe and Jimmy were immense in the last 1/2. Gut running and skills under fatigue can't be underestimated
HT and Lonners are rocks.

We will be much better with a 1st ruck.

Westy went all day today and credit to him for it.....
Kel and SJ will be great boost.

GO Catters

 

[rocker_oz33]

Great stuff by the boys selly jimmy mackie how good were they! loved varcoe's run and bundys last quarter.

 

[barmy44]

welcome back travis f***ing varcoe!

 

[Turbocat]

What did people think of Stokes today. For me he did a good job of being ordinary. Wasn't bad , but was not any more than reasonable to good game.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Honour to be a Geelong fan. We as fans keep getting delivered these great results.

Really really happy the younger blokjes stood up - Duncan, Smedts, Christensen (huge second half). Even Motlop did one or two things.

Great heart too from Tommy L - looked like being cut up by Franklin but came back second half and beat him fair and square.

Great stuff
