Review Geelong defeats GCS by 102 points at KP - Rd 23, 2018

[God Mode]

Did what we had to do against not much opposition the last two weeks. Glad we tried some things out such as Scooter forward - should stick with it in the finals.

I’m surprised how pleased I am to have Henderson & Taylor back - could make a 5-10% difference come finals.

I don’t often agree with commentators, but I think our single biggest weaknesses are our poor disposal by foot, especially out of the backline (cheap turnovers) and a tendency to go missing pressure wise for 5-10 minutes at a time and allow too much easy ball movement by the opposition.

We’re still in with a shot, as I don’t see any of the top 8 as way in front of us, but 4 wins in a row is a hard road. I’d prefer Sydney or Melbourne I’m a fortnight.

100% this. Its precisely why we lost against Richmond and Hawks. A positive is in previous years that problem has led to us being down by 7 goals in the first qtr. This year we've minimised the damage during those "off" periods to still be in the game late, but we'll see how we hold up this finals series. That will be the true test.

Geelong have won every game by 100+ points under Morrison as Prime Minster.

Not sure what you're trying to say here exactly, but it doesn't sound very optimistic.

What would everyone have been saying if it was the two losses to rich-haw leading into the finals rather then the two 100p wins ?

You're not going to let him dash your dreams of finals glory that easily are you?

Not at all

Ablett playing Gold Coast up there earlier this season; 37 touches, 6 marks and 3 goals in an 85pt win.

Ablett today; 25 touches, 5 marks, 4 tackles and 2 goals in a 102pt win.

The flogs on the GCS board can shove that up them.

Are the GCS sooking? Very salty?

I liked Scooter forward. I had been thinking he needed to be dropped. Up forward he looks composed in traffic and made good decisions.
I don’t see the point of Kolo playing on the wing. He’s not quick and an average kick. If Taylor is back then I’d drop Kolo. We can move Parfit to wing and bring in Narkle to play small forward.

Well played cats!

I've been thinking the same thing for some time. I like Kolo and think he will be a rock in defense for the next ten years, but Taylor is >Kolo and there are other options for a winger including Narkle, Cunico and others.

I think Geelong took the foot of the accelerator from Q3 to ensure no injuries. We'd overtaken Melbourne's % + they might have been told to take it a little easier. While I hope that is not the case, not surprised if it is.

I heard Nick DelSanto talk about instructions the side received last round before finals ..they were literally told to stop running too hard.. said Brett Peake could help him self at one stage and got dragged.

Coach Scott sounded chuffed with the state of his list .. I got a feeling ..he think its all starting to come together at the right time. Fit list and side that has a nice balance between young and old.. but the issue of the last few years still is there.. MCG and Finals...

Before we start dreaming of finals glory just a quick reminder- Cats 5-8 away from Geelong. 0-7 after bye . Not looking good

So we're DUE!!! Yahoo!!!

Mark O’Connor looked great. He’s better overhead than I thought.

Buddy and Parker both out for the swans tonight..... *.. ... Hawks are gonna be top 4!!!

 

[catempire]

Yeah, but round ball.

They were pretty bad when Ablett left their shite club

 

[Landgraft]

Yeah, but round ball.

Nothing was a guarantee of transferring across... but I always figured that if he made it as a footballer then overhead marking would be a feature of his.

 

[you pick one]

I had no idea it was a non contact sport.

 

[frggr]

We won’t be playing GC in two weeks time.

Might be playing Collingwood though, who aren't far off.

Rain in London, raining goals in Gtown. Thanks for the GameDay comments, especially from Daz, easy to follow with no other access. Go you good things

Oh mate, no access? Dang!

Yep, adjusting to contact is one of the big challenges the Irish guys have with the international rules.

Even better retort
