Autopsy Cats lose to GWS by 4 points

[TomsBulgingDisc]

SDK so bad. One of his worst games. Outplayed, out positioned, drops his head, doesn’t follow up. Really bad.

I haven't watched the game yet because I was on the road, but I can already see what you're talking about. Very gifted footballer, obviously does the work required, but he's soft between the ears. Looses a few contests and looks like my 12yr old when he gets told to get off YouTube.

Just an infuriating way to lose a football game. Even beyond the missed set shots, multiple squandered opportunities inside 50 late - Danger earning the turnover then trying to hit the short target, Mannagh's rush of blood to the head, etc. Just think we're step off the level, too many guys injured down back and too many passengers forward.

 

[mcwilrob]

For a player of his medium size, OHenry needs to kick for goal better and be cleaner when the ball is on the ground.

He also needs to play like he gives a ****!

 

[Aura]

Sdk looked like he smoked a joint before the game.
Mannagh far too hungry.

On a positive - How good is Bailey smith.

He was so close to getting the elusive quadruple double.

 

[The Casey Cat]

GWS has been one of the easy beats this year. It does not augur well for Geelong if we can't beat a very ordinary GWS at home.

And St Kilda. And Carlton. We're a lazy, arrogant, piss weak joke of a side that doesn't want it enough. And we keep on rolling out the same soft, shitty, do nothing players every week.

 

[Strange Cat]

That's a little frustrating

Had our chances , needed a better defense and not to miss our shots at goals

Frustrating is correct

 

[geelong_crazy26]

He has some demons I think.

Looks like this when contact comes

 

[CatToTheFuture]

SDK so bad. One of his worst games. Outplayed, out positioned, drops his head, doesn’t follow up. Really bad.

I think he was alright 1-1 but got out guarding space a lot. We miss Stewart and Humphries

 

[bombersboy]

I like O'Sullivan, but someone needs to tell him he shouldn't be trying to affect every contest in the backline. That last one he tried to go third man up at but got nowhere near it, only to leave his direct opponent to waltz into an open goal was extremely telling in the wash-up.

I think as a young player Cos is cooked. For his long term development needs to go back to the VFL for a while.with our injuries though we won’t do it and we will see sub standard efforts kill us and maybe kill the kids confidence and development

 

[Art Vandelay_]

And what abut their outs and missing Greene for the remaining 10 minutes?

Tbf injuries can't be as bad as ours with 15 AFL players in the reserves today. Think we had 7 and 4-5 of those are first year players.

 

[Mr Meow]

The expected scores chart is going to make for brutal viewing.

Green, not famous for his skills, nails a monster from the boundary. Blicavs misses a regulation set shot directly in front. Stengle misses 3 sodas. The list goes on.

 

[sexyhunk]

makes you wonder these guys train and practice goal kicking on this same ground every week, the other mob literally kick goals on it once a year.

having siad that, we won last week off a bad shot at goal, goes around comes around.

 

[kickazz]

Set shot goal kicking.
That's all it is.
Lost by less than a goal having 17 set shots and only converting 6 of them, the majority of them being simple AFL standard shots.
We can sook about d trans, we can sook about SDK being out of position countless times, we can sook about turnovers, but if we only converted set shots at the AFL median standard, we win by 4 goals.

Yep

 

[supahoops]

Lost it with a few basic skill errors and poor decisions. Oh and good kicking is good football. Onwards and upwards.

 

[catters_28]

I was at the game and I genuinely thought Clark must've been a late out. What the hell was that.

 

[Cataholic]

I think he was alright 1-1 but got out guarding space a lot. We miss Stewart and Humphries

He was poor, and timid.

 

[year of the cat]

Close isn’t getting enough scrutiny. Some absolutely pissweak efforts from him.

 

[BigCat1]

He is very soft.

It’s like his brother has completely stolen his intensity the last two years. He’s become a beast.

That last effort on top of all the others will be woeful on the Monday tape. From the soft spoil to the little half ring a ring a rosey chase

 

[foxdog50]

In my eye Blitz was one of our best players. But you know he didn't want to kick for that goal and wanted Dangerfield to take it... The end result is the reason why..

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I like O'Sullivan, but someone needs to tell him he shouldn't be trying to affect every contest in the backline. That last one he tried to go third man up at but got nowhere near it, only to leave his direct opponent to waltz into an open goal was extremely telling in the wash-up.

He's not ready to be a KPD on a good key forward.
Need Henry, Stewart and Humphries in and let him do his thing on a lesser match up.

 

[My Tilly]

I was at the game and I genuinely thought Clark must've been a late out. What the hell was that.

Absolutely appalling. I am no longer defending the guy.
I knew he's a long way off it but I figured he would help us with 10-15 touches today but he gave us 2 disposals. Need to give Stevens a run now.

 

[Tkoajd]

Well... play that game ten times and we'd win nine.

I hope there not played at Geelong.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Giants aren’t a flag threat, let’s be real.

The premiership is coming from the Pies or Lions imo.

Get that sense myself UnitedWarrior93 but its early days yet - also, annoyingly, gotta throw the Hawks in that mix.

 

[Aura]

Stewart and humphries in (probably for Clark and ted) will help but there's about 5 others I'd drop but the problem is some including neale and sdk we have no replacements for. Duncan will get torched on the bigger ground at AO (if he isn't sub).

Why did we even keep him and let go Tuohy? Was he signed for another year during last season or did he have that year remaining? Mystery to me

 

[Walter H White]

A loss always brings out dickheads who come here specifically to pot their favourite target and then retreat back to the shadows.

I'm not the only one saying it. Can you seriously defend some of his efforts, not just in this game but in many others over the last few years?
