Review Cats defeat gallant Pies by 6 points to get into another PF

[dazbroncos]

Sometimes you have to win ugly....

Previously this kind of game in a Final, and start like that, would have buried us.

We didnt quit and got over the line.

And some of the younguns have gotten another taste of Finals footy under their belt.

Lots to work on...and we cant dish that up again.... but we have a week off to refresh and get the long stops out.

GO Catters

I think the talk of how badly we played is very much underselling the Pies. They're a very well structured team and their pressure was ****ing immense from start to finish. The game was on their terms all night - gotta give them their due credit.

 

[Stokey]

That we can play like we usually do in QFs and still win says a lot about this group. So much room for improvement

Congrats... one for the ages

Selwood, Stuart, Gary big dick Rohan, Cameron all huge.

get something out of staley, danger and Hawkins you be good.

Hope u win it all

 

[_Game_]

Amazing effort to dig deep. Yes we fumbled but do not discount just how good the Pies pressure is. Rohan amazing and Selwood just doing Selwood things, the time comes knocking and he continues to be the one to answer.

Holmes, cameron, stewart and selwood Excellent

rohan goes some way to diminish his finals reputation.
blicavs only reinforces his finals reputation unfortunately.

stanley, touhy, miers and hawkins had poor games.

atkins terrible first 3 qtrs. Excellent the last.

cant go in with the same approach in the prelim. Need to attack from the start rather then as a reaction.

 

[nohairandfair]

Very enjoyable

That was the antithesis of enjoyable... it was footy purgatory... until the final siren.
Phew. Go Cats.

 

[Lana]

Eat shit Caro, Super Rohan has arrived

 

[Sky]

If I could pick one fault with this Geelong outfit, it was that we didn’t play many close games like this one. We won 13 games in a row heading into tonight but only two were great games like tonight: Port and Richmond.

I felt we needed to drop a game on the run home to prepare us for a qualifying final and I was wrong.

Truly thrilled

 

[The_Todd07]

So proud of our supporters
The punt Rd end was rocking tonight

 

[Peter Wallis]

Not one of your best performances but yet still found a way to win. So many players down on form, Dangerfield who I love as a player, probably had one of the worst games he's played, Miers, Close, Blicavs (who looked sore) & Stanley also were poor but on the positives, Gary Rohan

was MASSIVE, surely his critics will leave him alone now, Cameron & Atkins were huge and Max Holmes is now a fully fledged star.
Flag favourites for mine, they will not play this badly again. Only top sides get wins against quality opposition when they don't play well.
Hopefully Parfitt and Ceglar get back in for Stanley & Miers - they would be my only changes for the Prelim.

 

[BotsMaster]

Good question to Paddy "why did you start on the bench?"

 

[Boxhead_31]

Does anyone have any oxygen?
Or maybe a defibrillator perhaps?

 

[winty]

Never in doubt.

Tom fooking Atkins take a bow son. Immense.

Raging bull need to double his contract in all seriousness

 

[Chinacats]

Finally…. a QF win! Train up now!

 

[Sky]

So proud of our supporters
The punt Rd end was rocking tonight

Every time the camera was panned towards them, I couldn’t help but think what a good looking bunch in comparison to the gutter trash usually sitting in the Punt Rd end.

 

[dangerwood]

Well done to Geelong, cracker of a game. Selwood huge. Hope KK's knee is ok and he can get up for the prelim. Too good for us today

I nearly reckon you guys were too good for us. Went exactly the way we didn't want it to go. Darcy Moore huge and Nick Daicos, the kid was killing me.

 

[Zeroman]

Only two cats in top 12 players. Showing our midfield deficit, due to our draft selection rank.

That was ******* exhausting.

Reminded me of 09 gf and 07 prelim.

Actually closest thing to the 09 grand final I can recall

 

[Spearman]

Holmes was immense

all game,

really never thought he was in doubt for his spot watching this game.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Dees have less following than the Pies and the Lions have even less in Victoria.

Should be able to get more fans in the crowd in two weeks
