Game Day Cats V Dogs Thursday 22/5/25 7.30pm at Cattery

[Bulldogs85]

Exactly right. Stupid of Bevo to chirp back at Cornes 10 mins before our biggest game this year. Stay focussed on the game ffs.

No it’s not if the clown said something Bevo has the right to respond

 

[dogwatch]

Can we stop agreeing to play at this God awful ground....

No. It's our pact with the devil and we just have to cop it year after year.

Meanwhile, at Collingwood who haven't seen the inside of Kat Park since last century ...

Definitely not Bevo's finest moment.

I don’t get the fascination with this bloke. He is just another arseh*le with an opinion.

We are playing like a team that has had smoke blown up its ass by the media all week.

We need to get back to basics and crack in harder than the opposition. That would be a good start.

 

[Dazb86]

Really not handling Geelongs pressure.

 

[Golden_6]

Is English ever going to stand up against Stanley?

 

[BrunswickDog]

GMHBA makes it easier to compress the midfield space for the dogs.

Dogs not handling the pressure, but Cats playing their home ground like experts.

 

[Mojorisin]

He has re-signed, announcement on Monday.

Might hold off on the announcements for a week or two after this one.

 

[Doggies_13]

Our issues are we are coughing the ball up on the most dangerous part of the ground and it’s leading to transition that can’t be defended because everyone is out of position and expecting the ball to go forward.

Are we a tall short? Probably, would they stop us getting torched and our defenders being under the pump cause of our stupid turnovers. Nope

Cats have scored 51 points from turnover in a half.

We’ve seen this before. Once or twice and it’s be said to be an anomaly by Bevo. But maybe we just have fragile players who crack under pressure and make bad decisions.

First quarter we played more kick mark and could not transition. Second quarter we tried to force the handball game and got killed.

 

[TiAn_]

Reeks of a classic Bevo game to me, play well for 3 quarters and lose it all in 1.

The Bevo way this quarter will be to play scrappy forward half stoppage footy that produces 3-4 behinds before the other side scores 2-3 goal on rebound and ices the game before the last.

Why just get it over and done with

 

[lachy]

Its easy to look at the usual whipping boys when things aren't going well, however how many of our best 6 would be in the best 6 on ground.

With the narrow ground it is easier for the Cats to set up defensively given they train on the ground as well as play there.

We are not out of it but we need a big lift from our senior players, a few of the younger ones will come along with them

Watch the port game and this and say it’s not the players

Bailey Williams hasn’t gone near it for example been flying

 

[Wetdog]

And to top it off, Nick Riewoldt is wearing a turtle neck in the half time coverage.

**** this. I’m going to bed!

 

[MaxiBont]

We have gotten some really good performances from non-star players over these 10 weeks, the problem is when a couple of them have bad games at the same time it can come undone pretty quickly.

 

[Dogsman16]

Less handballs, more kicking. Particularly at this ground.

You need the forward representation though. Missed a trick there.

, great bulldog and player but as very ordinary commentator on Bulldog games.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Bevo been sucked in by Kane and Scott tonight!

 

[Doggy Dan]

Brad Johnson, great bulldog and player but as very ordinary commentator on Bulldog games.

The worst.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

It's only 25 points. They've dominated so far but we know we can score quickly.

Need to start winning the midfield battle, we are stronger through there but are only even with the clearances and haven't had any advantage with scores from clearance

Probably need to change our exit strategy. They are ready for our handball link up, I'm sure we'll probably trust ourselves to be cleaner and get out but it's risky.

 

[Doggy Dan]

No it’s not if the clown said something Bevo has the right to respond

Kane wants the attention, Bev doesn’t. Any response was a win for Kane, Bevo took the bait.

 

[TheScriptorWL]

Ya feel we need two quick ones to get the game back on our side. Their pressure will make it extremely hard. Need to play differently through the middle when we win the ball. - Bevo over to you

- Couch Coach

 

[MaxiBont]

Jeez I hate how footy turns into a reality TV show sometimes.

Who gives a **** what Kane and Bevo did

 

[Bulldogs85]

Brad Johnson, great bulldog and player but as very ordinary commentator on Bulldog games.

Also a very Ordinary Goal kicking coach

 

[JohnnySteel]

Bevo having words to Cornes doesn’t make the entire team not handle pressure.
We haven’t been clean & panicked.

If we saw that vision & we were 5 goals in front, we’d be interrupting that a lot differently
