Review Cats hang on by 3 points to beat Pies

[Footy Smarts]

I know Mullin still has along way to go...

But I can guarantee you all that Nick Daicos will feel that game tomorrow.

Mullin is a unit and he gave it to him all game long and got under his skin.

Daicos still got 30 odd - he does ever week - but ill take Mulllin's effort this week.

GO Catters

The composure on that kick to put Mannagh away late on when Mannagh got run down was incredible under pressure.

Could David King be a bigger flog?

Not if his life depended on it.

Could David King be a bigger flog?

Nope

The result, the team selected, how we played, worrying about whipping boys.
None of it mattered for me tonight.

Early in the week dad had a mishap in hospital that would require surgery, and with his health issues the likelihood was that the surgery would kill him. Surgery on Wednesday, called in by doctors that night suggesting we say our goodbyes. He came through somehow, and with steady improvement over the last couple days I sat with him watching the first half by his hospital bedside.

I love this club always, but enjoying the simple things in life like I did tonight is all that mattered to me. It's priceless.
The win is just the cherry on top. Peace all, have a good night.

Thoughts with your dad Art. Hold onto these moments

Thank you Cats…you helped salvage my Saturday beating Collingwood by 3 points..

Hear, hear!

Mullin was great.

He'd make a great tagger/defensive mid.

Big strong bloke and speed to burn! Make him the next Lingy

 

[you pick one]

How much but hurt on Fox.

 

[allrighty]

How nice is it to get a bit of luck with umpiring? We’ve been crucified for the last couple of decades but that certainly evened things up. I actually don’t think the umpires got much wrong tonight in hindsight, but a couple of 50/50 calls fell the cats way.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Good fight back from mid 3rd quarter to late in the 4th. It was a bit disappointing that, when it seemed we'd gained ascendancy and momentum, we seemed to slack off. It was amazing that we didn't have players back to negate the final forward entry. Our defence overall was so slack in the last five minutes.

Go post your Debbie Downer shit somewhere else....

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

And the worst fox footy interview I’ve seen, what rubbish questions.

 

[Cataholic]

I think he’s having a joke with his old team mates. He’s been very diplomatic about the dogs in the past.

That com.ent was in response to a screenshot of a comment on the Dogs board.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

David King saying the umps were 4 of our best players.....

 

[PzBlinky]

Last week's 2nd half when the free kicks are 11-2: BLUES ARE BACK BABY! WHAT A WIN!

This week when we get a couple our way: OMG THIS IS THE WORST UMPIRING OF ALL TIME WHAT A SCANDAL

I should be annoyed, but it's more amusing than anything else.

 

[frggr]

How the **** are these commentators drilling Blicavs about the touched decision. **** off

[Art Vandelay_]

Still a Scott disaster-class and selection blunder SkittleCats ?

 

[giggler99]

Wtf kind of a question is that "can you feel when the umpires are on your side"

Get the F over it you twits

The guy hates Geelong so much we've been living rent free in his head ever since 2011 when he famously predicted we couldn't win the premiership all the way up to Grand Final day. I've never valued anything he says since.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Epic win.

Amazing to see Patrick Dangerfield will his team to victory in that 2nd half, that was Beast Mode Deluxe.

I always liked what Bailey Smith

brought to the Bulldogs, but there is no question his football has gone up a couple of notches post knee-and-move. His workrate helped hold back the Collingwood tide when they threatened to sweep us away, and eventually others came with him.

Losing Stanley was a blow but Mark Blicavs

was a more than adequate replacement in the ruck (with help from Neale), Blitz winning some crucial centre clearances and then holding up Collingwood from doing the same on other occasions.

Oli Wiltshire contributed, Ollie Henry contributed. Mannagh did his thing.

had a terrible first three quarters, but then one very, very good last quarter. Sam De Koning had a very very good first three quarters but then a shakey last quarter.

Mitch Duncan had one or two hairy moments, but overall was a net positive. Great to see him in action again; nice to be reminded of his ability. Probably 3 moments when he looked to be under immense pressure but in fact had already worked out where and how he was going to dispose of the ball before he'd even taken possession.

Oisin Mullin had a huge task on his hands and Nick Daicos threatened to really get off the leash on more than one occasion, but the inexperienced Irishman never dropped his bundle and ultimately did his job.


Crucial win and one that might instill some genuine belief in this 2025 model Geelong team.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

David king asked blicavs “ mate, did you notice the umpiring going your way the last 15 minutes??”

 

[frggr]

Lmao he's really putting a target on his back for that dogs game isn't he. Not that I care.

He has - but it won't matter. We'll nail em.

 

[catman2006]

We have work to do, Without Stanley the pies mids creamed us in the 1st 3 quarters, we got lucky with the umps in 2nd half, can't wait to have a fit backline and Miers again our ball movement is totally off, but we hung in somehow and produced in the last, the score review ended up hurting us we lost our momentum.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

David King to Blitz -
“Can you feel when the umpires are going your way”

Wtf question is that?

His emotional. Then when they asked blicavs if he touched it he said yes I did.. and David king replied “ if I was a back man I would claim that too”..disrespectful flog.

 

[My Tilly]

David King to Blitz -
“Can you feel when the umpires are going your way”

Wtf question is that?

He looks like a big gambler. Wouldn't be surprised he lost a fortune tonight.

 

[giggler99]

need to see the clip of this

GO CAtters

said we pretty much won the game because four people wearing green where on our side.

 

[foxdog50]

We ****in did it
