[dazbroncos]

Poor

Post bye.

Not good enough at all.

And there are some good questions to be answered now.

Vent and be pissed but dont be stupid.

GO Catters

Geelong and losing after a bye, name a more iconic duo.

My man Stanley - I don't know what else I can say... We had more passengers than a P&O cruise liner. We were second to the ball - did not do the basics right (disposal, front and centre, tackling)... Disgraceful performance - now all we need is Chris Scott to say its overblown and everything is well at Catland. Everyone will move on - we will win at home and people will quickly forget that horid performance... Until finals when we get the same pressure applied and drop our pants again in front of the whole country. Yep - things are good.

Ehhhhhh another post bye poor performance.. I hoped this team was better then that.

While we were bog ordinary most the night, one positive IMO was on the balance of play we should've lost by about 8 goals instead of 11 points, so credit to the boys for fighting it out and not dropping our collective bundles.

 

[Hamingja]

There are no issues after the bye. It is a completely different set of players.

Very average tonight. Not enough players on their game tonight., Can’t remember the last time Hawkins played so badly. Buzza for Rohan next week?

 

[Strange Cat]

Difficult loss to watch espically with the sniping tactics port resorted to

But you can’t win every week , hopefully restock and bounce back next week

 

[Spazz Cat]

Weird game. Only lost by a couple of goals but it feels like they're aren't many positives.
Clark playing off a wing at times looked really dangerous. Danger and Kolo for parts of the match were great.
Some players were very poor though. The ruck!!! WTF. Amazing we lost by so little.

 

[Micksy]

Just said "bye" to four points.

 

[CoolCat75]

Meh, not gonna lose my s**t over that. We were due a loss. You’d still take 11-2 any day of the year. Played crap, lots of injuries, lots of players down and only lost by 11. I’m confident of a bounce back against Adelaide next week.

Minus 36 for contested possessions.
Minus 16 for clearances. Minus 13 at stoppages.
Smacked in the ruck.

There's the loss right there.
Midfield lost us that game, not Hawkins, not our forward line. Not our defenders.

The midfield.

 

[Cataholic]

We were putrid.

Port dissected us with scary ease.

 

[AlcoaCat]

Disappointing. I really had hoped that this game would show the difference from previous seasons. But we looked just as lame as last year.

Not encouraging.

 

[kickazz]

Lack of intensity. Couple of sus defenders.

 

[you pick one]

Much to good tonight all over the ground Port,simple as that.

A lot of debutantes this season.

Are there actually questions to be answered??

There was no tactical edge by port..

We got smashed in the contested footy

Smashed in the clearances

Smashed in the middle

Hardly had our hands on the ball.

That is the blueprint to beating anyone in any AFL game.

Just a very poor game and one I can dismiss as that.

Will be beneficial for the boys to go away and look at everything that went wrong and work very hard on certain aspects.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Was watching Chernobyl before the game + had a sinking feeling.

We lost. We're still 11-2, which is fantastic.

Back to Chernobyl + my sinking feeling.

Enjoy the melts!

Utter garbage and the worst we have played all year, but that said its only 11 points so I guess thats something you can take away from that shitshow of a match.

But there are deficiencies in our side, and Port exposed every single one of them. And a lot of them started when we had ONE ruck in Stanley, and when he got obliterated there was no plan B.

But make no mistake, that was finals style pressure and we completely failed the test.

 

[Play it Sam]

If that's how they addressed the elephant in the room, according to Scott, how do we avoid the finals bye? We'll fight another day I suppose.Worst is commentators creaming their jeans.

 

[And_ROOS]

A lot of debutantes this season.

Yeah it wasn't the kids who let us down...

 

[Micksy]

I just want to see Scott admit something's wrong and next bye they're going to prepare differently.

 

[catters_28]

That was diabolical.

- Sav needs to come back in for Fort ASAP. If not, I’d rather Buzza than Fort.

- Stanley - Back to his usual pissweak self. We simply MUST find a solution to our ruck problems. I don’t know how but it must happen.

- Blicavs kicking is still a worry

- Kolo was decent other than a couple of shanks in the last quarter

- If Mardi Dangerfield had gone into labour a few hours later we’d have lost that game by ten goals
