Review Geelong defeats North by 60 points

[dazbroncos]

Solid win.

As it should have been

Hard to be unhappy with a 10 goal win.

Jezza gets 7

Tomma has 5

And Ollie Dempsey get a goal but more importantly does not look out of place at this level.
Gets 15 touches, 9 contested and kick 1.1. Really good effort from the kid.

Good to bank the win, dont like taking the foot off the pedal in the last to concede 5 goals.

2E had a great game, 12 between Tommy and Jezza. Stengle and Close were good too.

SDK again showed the flashes you want to see. Knows when to spoil when to drop off and cover and just makes smart footy decisions. Also a great 1% putting his body in the middle of it that resulted in a clearance and a goal for us.

Sel, Holmes, Stanley, Stewy, Atkins, Close, Kolo all good too.

Happy to get away with the 4 points and no injuries of note.

GO CAtters

.....Last week we saw the worst of him against Hawthorn.... And today we saw the Best of Stanley.... You certainly know how to frustrate us Rhys...
But congrats on a good game...

 

[catpremier 07]

Good performance, did what we had to do. Wish we were a little more ruthless like our old premiership sides were but oh well. Onto a big game next week against freo

 

[Chinacats]

Good training run for next week! SDK coming along nicely in game 6!

 

[Romeoh1]

Got the win. No injuries. Kid turned up and shows promise. Go cats. Onto next week against genuine opposition.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Good win but some very poor conversion again.

 

[BotsMaster]

A 10 goal win as expected.

Well done to Ollie Dempsey on his first game and goal. You've given the "play youth now" crowd plenty of ammunition

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up tomorrow is a bum

 

[Sensible Cat]

I like what we're doing. Making life easy for the big boys up forward.
Dempsey looks ok. Should stay in next week.
I think we look good despite a couple of losses, which we aren't used to but is normal for other teams.

 

[catstorm]

Good win that could have been better. Dempsey looks the goods found another cheapy with him.

I dislike the lack of killer instinct from this current Geelong side. We had a chance to really run up the score and build huge percentage instead eased up.

I’m also very concerned with our goal kicking 17.19 is not good and is becoming a trend.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I'm going against the grain here but I thought Stanley was BOG. Smashed both their ruckman.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Twin towers curently sit 1st and second on the coleman board.. Lovely to see.

Fourth quarter fade out and performance for a second week in a row concerning.. Is it a fitness problem or something else?? If we get out done again the fourth next week against fremantle you have to really ask that question of our fitness team in taylor. We need to run out games strongly

 

[winty]

76 more possessions and 14 more tackles. Have to like that workrate.

 

[God Mode]

Hard to be unhappy with that. Our tackling was much better. I liked the nous Dempsey showed. Happy with Stengle's workrate. One goal he ran half the field to get into position for. It's a funny thing to say after kicking 121 but I feel our forward line structure needs a lot of work put into it. It'll cost us against the top teams.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Btw.. Have we ever had 5 sides after round 6 sitting on wins-5 losses-1... Seems unprecidented and unusual

 

[Drunkcat]

A 10 goal win as expected.

Well done to Ollie Dempsey on his first game and goal. You've given the "play youth now" crowd plenty of ammunition

Was a game we could have give a few a debut, vs a VFL side

 

[Sensible Cat]

Rhys Stanley.....Last week we saw the worst of him against Hawthorn.... And today we saw the Best of Stanley.... You certainly know how to frustrate us Rhys...
But congrats on a good game...

I thought he was exactly the same this week as last week.
Won the hitouts comfortably. Shouldered nearly all the ruckwork.

Agree. We should have really Put them to the sword.

 

[DangerHere]

De Koning is a ripper, he’s still “a baby” but will be a future champion

 

[David the Cat]

I'm going against the grain here but I thought Stanley was BOG. Smashed both their ruckman.

Cant agree about BOG...but he played a fine game today. Certainly in our top 5.

 

[Seeds]

Lots of positives in that game. Dekonnig, holmes, stengle. More fast ball movement.

but one glaring weakness. clearances. Thumped last week by the hawks and now beaten soundly by the bottom team in north.

if we dont rectify it fast this season is going no where.


how do we rectify it? Other then a glorious return to past form from dangerfield i dont see where it could come from. Thoughts?

 

[David the Cat]

De Koning is a ripper, he’s still “a baby” but will be a future champion

Spot on assessment ...I thought he was very good today and kept Larkey in check.

Getting better every game....and nice hands!

 

[James1970]

Only 8,500 turned up to watch the game today, but in years to come millions will say 'I was there', when asked if they saw future AFL Legend Dempsey's first game in the flesh.
