Review Geelong Defeats Hawks by 23 points at MCG

[dazbroncos]

4-1 after the first 5.

Great comeback after last week

Cant complain at all.

Top of the ladder too.

Gret effort against the old enemy.

Rohan with 4, GAJ with 2 and a hanger like the old man.

Great day and a great win and never better than to take top spot after beating Hawthorn.

GO Catters

High 5s all round!!!!

 

[dazbroncos]

Rohan 11 goals from 43 touches this year plus defensive pressure.

Wow.

Go Catters

 

[Universe Boss]

What’s different this year is that we are collectively playing great team football.

Few players stand above the rest, and each and every week we aren’t becoming reliant upon the same 3-4 players; a common criticism of the team over the last few seasons.

This is the sort of football that wins flags.

 

[vikum123]

Still heaps to improve which is a major positive!

The forward potency is what excites me haven’t had this since 2013 dare I say.

Bring on the Eagles, will see where we really are!!

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Didn't play brilliant footy but did enough.
I'll take it.

 

[you pick one]

Good first up from Guthrie.

 

[Man0gwaR74]

That umpiring towards the end of the game was seriously biased <_<

 

[Spazz Cat]

Very very enjoyable game. Loved it.
Had all the niggle. The Gaz booing then sticking it up them.
Bloody Gary Rohan. What a gun.
Good times

 

[Larry Donohue]

Seriously good solid win
Kelly was really good
Selwood pretty much willed us again
Ablett was a big contributor
Atkins hit hard all day
Rohan was dangerous
Blicavs apart from a couple of errors was solid
Harry did some good spoiling and used the ball well when he had it
No big forwards on top today but still kicked butt
Guthrie performed more solidly today
Dangers work on the inside made a huge difference
Henry played his first real solid game this year
This team is looking a real force

 

[Falconx]

Thought O'Connor was good and has been for the year. Didn't really rate him going into the year but he has surprised me.

 

[Down at K Park]

Couldn’t possibly imagine we would be 4 and 1 after the first 5. Got the job done against the scum

Ablett running into 50 is as good as anyone at slotting them

 

[romeohwho]

Good even performance -well done Geelong. Rest up and get ready for next week.
Sicily sure gets a lot of leeway for HTB.
Always good to beat that team.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Guthrie played well. Nobody @ me.
22 touches, 11 contested, 4 clearances and game high 8 tackles.

Wouldn't mind seeing Atkins spend a little bit more time in the middle, his play as a mid got him on our list and he's an asset at stoppages with his tackling and pressure.

Thought O'Connor was good and has been for the year. Didn't really rate him going into the year but he has surprised me.

Gets better with every game. Did some really nice things. Took a beautiful mark in the 3rd

Random thoughts

Very happy with the forward set up.
Rohan was fantastic with his 4 goals and also took a huge mark down the line at an important stage.
Gaz wowee he got me up and about with a huge game.
Kelly all class
Selwood fantastic tough captains game
Oconnor, blicavs, kolo all great and solid games from henry and taylor.
Clark looked tired may need a rest but still showed some great dash and kicking skill, perhaps he has a rest for tuohy in.
Esava also looked sore and struggled to get into the game, id like to see Abbott in to rotate with Stanley ruck/fwd.
Atkins got very busy in the 2nd half, great extraction and of course tough around the contest and huge tackles.
Miers sets up play very nicely from half back to inside 50 and is classy around goal setting up and kicking them.

Good win cats!

Forgot to add i liked Guthries game.
Big shame for parfitt, hope its a quick recovery.

Changes next week

Out - Parfitt, Clark, Ratugolea
In - Constable, Tuohy, Abbott

Gee that was an even effort. I’m no chance of giving votes until I’ve seen a replay.

Loved how we controlled it after the shaky start.

Loved the Gazza, Rohan and Rhys goals.

Love beating the filth.

That umpiring towards the end of the game was seriously biased <_<

Now we know why Margetts was seen going into the rooms at quarter time - to receive a brown paper bag from Jeff!

 

[cynical]

not the best win but still a win

Miers looks a real find
O'Connor is looking pretty solid
Cam was good also

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Sely 32 disposals,

 

[Falconx]

Gets better with every game. Did some really nice things. Took a beautiful mark in the 3rd

That whole chain was fantastic. 4 marks coast to coast goal.

 

[dazbroncos]

Just one thing to add....

YYAAAAAABBBBBBBLETTTTTTT

Carry on.

GO Catters

 

[winty]

Apparently O'Connor was emptying his pockets in the room after the game and came across this:

 

[catempire]

Where’s that “I was wrong thread”? I need to repent re Miers. Love him.

 

[Whit3y]

Love that man gary ablett
