Review Cats sink Dockers by 11 points.

DANGERFIELD

The guy's sheer will is amazing.

Second only to Selwood.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

PFD. What a Captains game. Outstanding. We had to win that to make up for the Bulldogs loss.

 

[Munich]

I feel we play better on the wider grounds than at KP this year?

Definitely

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Stanley has played better games, but he's never rucked better. His hitouts were decisive all game.

 

[DrakeOMalfoy]

What a win. One of the best, if not the best, of the year

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Best and most encouraging win of the year.

 

[frggr]

Goes to show how meaningless AFL Fantasy etc is - Freo with the top 4 spots by a long way and....got done.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Last quarter pressure, unbelievable.

 

[frggr]

Getting it together at the right time of the year, too.

 

[cats_09]

I vote for Geelong to fund:

1. cats_09 interstate footy trips*;
2. My bathroom renovation for warm Geelong goal assists.

*Enjoying your prematch commentary

How soon can we start that fund

Prior to this year I've been to one interstate match - 2017 preliminary final

This year I've traveled back to Adelaide for our round 2 clash, up to the Gabba and now out west to Optus

Guessing I should start saving up in case of any interstate finals

Been largely the same all year. Fantasy points come from disposal numbers, and we don't have mids with high disposal numbers.

Patrick.
Dangerfield.

That is all.

 

[catempire]

Good to follow one of our worst wins ever with a very very good one. Dangerfield immense.

 

[And_ROOS]

Love beating Freo, especially since they went mental with their flagmantle bullshit after they beat us at Geelong.

Hope they lose their spot in the 8 after this.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Beat the Aints next week and we finish top 4.

Reckon still a possibility even if we lose... but would need the Dees to smoke Port tonight.

So GO DEES!!!

Danger enormous and nice to see JHenry getting into some good form.Humphries is such a good field kick reminds of Milburn insane composure.
Good tough win just need few players to return to their usual self and can cause some damage in few weeks time.
However do need to stick our tackles a lot better.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Big win.
Feels like we're right in it this year.


Reminds me of the win against the Tigers at the 'G in 2022.

Max Holmes was massive; the boldness he shows in pinching extra meterage, backing in his running strength, is an absolute godsend for this team.

Tom Stewart had a great last quarter, and Jack Henry

has had a huge 6-7 weeks after a shaky start to 2024.

We can play better than that, too - probably Tyson Stengle

for his last 2 weeks; he might be running on fumes but he has dug deep to produce something.

Shannon Neale, Ollie Dempsey, Lawson Humphries; the kids were once again crucial contributors.

The season just got interesting for Geelong fans; we're knee deep.

 

[Pollywaffle]

I feel we play better on the wider grounds than at KP this year?

Do they train a lot at Deakin? KP games we seem more vulnerable lately.

 

[cats_09]

Henry’s defensive efforts have been pretty rank.

I'm guessing this is in reference to Ollie?

In the third quarter when he took that mark inside 50, he landed very heavily and looked in a fair bit of discomfort - hip/buttocks area took the brunt of the landing

He tried stretching it out and could see he was hampered by it after that point in time - wouldn't have been surprised if he was subbed off had we not already needed to use it or if he misses next week

 

[Cosmic Energy]

We did a fair bit wrong, but still being able to win against high quality opposition who have had the wood over us in recent times, on their home ground, is a fantastic effort.

 

[Frappe]

Also, Duncan must be the GOAT for chairing team mates off on milestones. Always a leg.

Doesn't dodge the heavyweights either.

 

[cats_09]

Lot of people owe Rhys Stanley a sincere apology, won us that game.

He started clunking marks again

 

[Generalissimo]

I thought Freo must have been gassed during that last quarter. Cats stopped the run.

Another Chris Scott masterclass. Acknowledge that Freo will have periods of ascendency, but make them run and run and grind and run and work really hard for the rewards, and trust that they'll be gassed in the last.
