Review Cats defeat Saints by 45 points

[dazbroncos]

Was a selection schmozzle early...

"Ins out and late changes

Made it thru with 4 points and no real injuries to speak of

Pretty much the perfect result.

Kolo and Close got wins in their milestone games.

Started a little bit whiffy.. probably expected... but then got it done in the back half of the game

Stengle, Kolo. Zuthrie, Stanely, Miers, Atkins Henry, Parfitt, all good.

SDK just does SDK things

Holmes really getting better and better

Got some peeps a week off which cant hurt.

13 of last 16 seasons Top 4 finishes.

64 points and 137% Just remarkable and whilst it aint always panned out the way we've wanted.... geez thats some success

Go Catters

 

[smotherking]

If you can’t find something to like about this team in the last 11 weeks then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe footy isn’t for you!

 

[patience]

How many did we have out? Well done team.

 

[winty]

Gonna be hard to fit Danger, Selwood, Rohan and Blitz in next week.

 

[STPer18]

Parfitt and Holmes really good with some of the usual suspects in the middle on the sidelines.

 

[Hinkley29]

Stanley was massive tonight. Career best form

 

[Cursed Cat]

how good was your boy Max Holmes tonight Drunkcat ?

De Konning superb against one of the competition's best key forwards again.

 

[BotsMaster]

So now that the Cats have won 11 in a row, does that make them flag favourites or is that just Collingwood?

 

[patience]

They are looking happy and relaxed.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Solid performance. Danger and Selwood were huge. Gonna be tough for the club when they're not running around dominating.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Glad we paid them back for last time.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Midfield really stood up with some big names out.

We have some great depth and 3 or 4 unlucky players will miss out come finals.

Speaking of which menegola is best 22. Clearly.

Did what we had to do tonight without being great. Keep building.

 

[catempire]

It’s hard to find fault with this team. Seriously humming.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Holmes, Bews, SDK, Stanley and Zuthrie best on ground for me. And once again, the team digs its heels in and out works the opponent to turn the tide when the game is in the balance. Really good vibes, despite all the outs. Depth, depth, depth!

 

[Drunkcat]

how good was your boy Max Holmes tonight Drunkcat ?

De Konning superb against one of the competitions best key forwards again.

It's the same every week Cursed cat, no bad games from MAX

 

[Hello Kitty]

Gonna be hard to fit Danger, Selwood, Rohan and Blitz in next week.

All to return through VFL

So Ceglar, Dahl out. Then who? Miers, MOC? Zuthrie sub?

 

[And_ROOS]

Funny how the commentators focused on the Zuch mark celebration but we have done that all year. They had a replay of Cats/Tigs the other day and when Henry took that late mark EVERYONE celebrated even though there was still 2 mins or so on the clock so its not like it was the last kick of the game.

This Max Holmes kid is pretty good. Thought Bews and Kolo were immense when it mattered. Luke Dahlhaus

’ transformation into scrappy inside mid is amazing. Love how much they all loved it when Zuthrie marked inside 50.

 

[Spearman]

Hardly a surprising win, they were missing their gun talls Marshall and King.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

The bellyaching first half was a bit embarrassing. A few key cogs out and won handsomely.

No dominance up forward from Hawkins or Cameron. Good first up full game hitouts back from fringe best 22 players Menegola and Parfitt.

A Blues win tomorrow should mathematically confirm top 4, albeit it is virtually now sewn up.

 

[And_ROOS]

So Ceglar, Dahl out. Then who? Miers, MOC? Zuthrie sub?

No chance Zuthrie subs. MOC might be in danger.

 

[cats_09]

So now that the Cats have won 11 in a row, does that make them flag favourites or is that just Collingwood?

Feels like our winning margin tonight was greater than the cumulative total for Collingwood's 11 game streak

 

[StonedCat]

I'm going to say it....I love this team

 

[CHAWKTS]

So this is just perfect and hard not to be optimistic. Just dont want to jinx it.

But menagola and Dal and Parf coming in and playing like they are worried they are not in the best 22.

With Danger, Selwood, Rohan and Blitz all in that 22 it is getting largely impossible to know who gets left out.

Cegs not to play was strange for me (not to give him one more back up game) but can’t argue with the outcome
