Big games give you a chance to frank your form. Ours is franked, 5 weeks to go and it has us as the team to beat.

Will go no worse than 3-1 without Stewart which is a testament to our system and defensive depth. Zuthrie has stepped in and seamlessly played a role.
In the De Koning focus we won both matchups IMO. Stanley was superb tonight and shaded TDK. Meanwhile SDK gave the reigning coleman medallist an absolute bath. Kept him to 0.1

Atkins got hold of Walsh in the 2nd half. Had no influence at all.

Stengle and Close are so damn good at ground level. Clean users, smooth movers and pile on the pressure in spades.
Dangerfield struggled tonight, but won comfortably regardless.

Hawkins and Cameron combined for more influence than Curnow and McKay, and that's with Curnow bettering Henry IMO, albeit Henry got better as the game wore on.

, boy will he be hard to replace when he leaves us, plugs so many roles and at stopagges tonight curtailed Cripps' control of the match.

Miers and MOC played their role tonight but for mine are the two to squeeze out to fit Parfitt and Stewart back in.

Overall thought the Blues method was ineffective. Bomb it long out of centre clearances or run and handpass in waves in transition. Our system and pressure caused so many turnovers for the latter.

Beat the Power away and not only is the lid off but it's buried deep.

LID’S OFF

 

[foxdog50]

Gee Zac Guthrie, you have proved me ( and I say majority of us here ) wrong... you been playing quality football...

 

[Cataholic]

It's promising that we accounted for Carlton reasonably easily, and haven't gotten carried away in the changerooms.

They look focused.

Either would be stiff to miss after tonight's game.
Menegola is out anyway.

Btw I called it 8 weeks ago on my Facebook.

 

[Catman]

Our pressure and defensive structures were immense. Absolutely throttled them. Our pressure this season is on multiple levels to anything we've shown in the past.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Just a hard edged, professional and clinical display.
If not for poor goal kicking and some gifts from the umpires late (either from calls or Cats non-calls) would have been a 10 goal win.
Only question remains is if they can continue the form into the most important month of the year.
Can't see why not, we certainly aren't relying on 1 or 2 players like we used to, Danger and Joel were mostly unsighted outside some quality passages of play.

 

[cats_09]

Less than 2% of AFL players will play 252 matches

Tonight, Joel Selwood just won his 252nd match

Find it..... FIND IT!!!!

And if you cant, grab (insert missing negative poster on ignore) and jam him in it.

GO Catters

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Anyone know a good tattoo place?

 

[Lana]

There would have been a lot of scribbling on the whiteboard this week, I think we just saw our plan B stress tested.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Our pressure and defensive structures were immense. Absolutely throttled them. Our pressure this season is on multiple levels to anything we've shown in the past.

Pressure has been amazing but at the same time our transitional ball movement is breath taking at times and we play a far more daring style of offense.

 

[dazbroncos]

Anyone know a good tattoo place?

ban worthy silliness.

GO CAtters

 

[catpremier 07]

Great win, gives us some breathing space.
Zuthrie is miles ahead of o connor and kolo imo.

 

[Spearman]

Good win,

That little Holmes surge in the 4Q was a thing of beauty. Looking forward to that being a feature in the years to come.

 

[Falconx]

Holmes last 2 games have been good now he has found some match fitness. With his speed hopefully we can develop him into a really good high meterage burst player.

 

[dazbroncos]

Gee Zac Guthrie, you have proved me ( and I say majority of us here ) wrong... you been playing quality football...

46 games.... its takes time so we as supporters have to back off and let them develop sometimes.

O'Connor had his moments

While Miers has been pretty damn solid over the last month - I know he's not kicking bags of goals, but he's playing his role and doesn't seem to be fading out or disappearing during matches

 

[Reppie]

Great win...totally donimation.
Bloody hell that was impressive.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

2 x terrific 4 x qtr performances from us in a row, just let down by some poor kicking from set shots at goal. Honestly should have beaten the Blues and Dees by 60+ points each.

 

[Pivo]

SDK a ******* star.

Made McKay irreverent.

'nuff said really

Kid has got it.

 

[thecatattack]

8 in a row
