Review Geelong spifflicate Fremantle by 69 points. - Rnd 18

[Pollywaffle]

How good was the kick by Hawk to Stanley in the 3rd. I’d love for someone to gif that.
Unfortunately it got no love from the commentators.

Commentary was lamentable really, often glossing over a lot of cat’s plays and pumping up some half baked Freo attempts.

 

[David the Cat]

I don’t remember any from last night. They were there...

Anyway, in general he’s hardly alone for bombing the ball into the forward 50 in our team. Can't argue with that, though there was less of that last night

Is it just me or is BT a little anti-Geelong?

Stanley did very well against ex-falcon Darcy. Dalhouse played a rare good one - bar his kicking which is what it is. Our pressure won us the game. All our mids were good. I agree both Bews and Atkins played well. Kolo is the weakest link - dropped marks and always makes me nervous when he kicks the ball.

Mieirs was good but selfish on one occasion while Close is arguably too unselfish.

Fyffe was a shadow of his usual self and probably shouldn't have played, but then we are missing several key players.

I thought the conditions favoured Dal and Narkle a bit. A dry day at the MCG could find them out.

Miers is selfish, but Its ok to have a few goal greedy players (Miers, JC and to a lesser extent Rohan) in the forward line. Especially when they are all excellent shots in goal. I think Bews has a strong goal pig instict, but his finishing usually lets him down.

Match Review: Big Docker learns fate, star Cat charged with staging

AFL releases findings from Thursday night's Fremantle-Geelong match

Correct choice to only fine Treacy and also Higgins sh*t staging attempt

Anyone know what Sam did though?

What about Walters staging? No fine there. smh

a little? He loved shitting on us for getting lights at our ground, he hates us.

Higgins's goalkicking is still a concern- 3.10 for the year- but I think his attitude has been better the last few weeks. I think he was recruited to fill the void left by our previous #4: elite disposal into F50, and I'm seeing Higgins starting to get it right.

Nailed Walters a beauty just in front of the goal square. Great bump but just collected Walters' chin, who then put some mayo on it. At the time I said he might be in a bit of trouble for it. Not because it was dirty or anything, but the fact that he chose to bump and got him a bit high.

One of the best examples of a gameplan executed to perfection.

RE: Rohan/Henderson rumour

The suitable location for said discussion is the following thread https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...m-someone-you-trust-part-deux.1253986/page-75

The rumour has no relevance to the win last night and as such this is not a suitable thread for discussion - future posts on the issue will be deleted

Don't bother reading it. People should get a life.

His kicking seems to be improving in terms of hitting targets but he’s still struggling to kick with any penetration. I doubt he could kick the distance from anything over 40m atm.

Any chance of keeping this version

Any chance of keeping this version

This version is a good player.
The "up to that point" version is a VFL player.

 

[Heckler]

You can't miss the signs
This is how a heavyweight contender deals with lightweight also rans.
Steadiness, professionalism and guidance from the senior Cats is immense
Cats are starting to build momentum and are yet to reach top form.
Team is cohesive and trust each other... with few weak links.
The underlying hunger to win another Premiership is emerging.
The self-belief and desire for success is building

 

[Sttew]

Anyone hear the rumour regarding Hendo and Rohan?

It’s on the AFL Rumour forum and is garbage

I think Menegola is back to his best. I think he was BOG in a game that's tough to give votes.

Was very good last week too.

When coming out of defence, Bews has an excellent swerve to straighten and then run on to launch a kick forward and centred.

Sure, but when you're 70m out and hitting up Tom Hawkins or Esava on a lead you just need precision, not distance. Last two or three weeks he's getting that part right.

Higgins fined for staging.

Higgins fined for staging.

But not walters. AFL is a joke.

Or Daniher the week prior (I believe?).

Daniher got fined.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Daniher got fined.

Not the one against us, but the week after?
I don't recall it so not sure.
