Game Day Geelong v Richmond, Friday 11 September 7:50pm @ Metricon

[Jhye Clark 13]

I’m not sure Miers is a finals player

Miers is soft. Probably the softest player in the game. It won't matter.

Once Fogarty, Close. Jarvis and and Henderson are replaced for finals we'll be a much better side.

We'll beat this mob in the finals. Bookmark it.

LoL what you smoking???

 

[Cataholic]

I'm tipping over the edge to those who are sick of the pretense each year......

 

[Strange Cat]

Ah well on to next week

 

[DangerHere]

I want to know how that flog Reiwoldt is getting marks inside 50 against us

 

[Baudolino]

I really hope the MC don't read too much in to SavRat's game tonight. Yes, he's clunked a few, but he's not going to do this consistently in finals and he still can't kick.

Not ready yet!

 

[cats_09]

Not a bad effort from Ratugolea being able to hit the narrow part of the point post

Happy to see him clunking marks, but goal kicking is a worry

 

[Play it Sam]

Sooo disappointed. Panicked, lacked aggression, woeful skills

Spag Bol all over the dog

 

[darren forssman]

Serious question: How many flags has refusing to cheat on the mark cost Geelong? Every other top team does it. We refuse to.

hahahahaha....we literally run away from it at times.

Just sit back and watch comrade.

After watching the Tigers pressure, which is what we are going to see in finals, I would bring these players in

Stanley -has to come in for the ruck, he’s the best we have. Also means Blitz goes back to his best position KPD and Henderson can go out ( too slow)

Rohan(when fit) - obvious what he brings to our forward line

Ablett - skills and forward smarts and should be well rested compared to last years finals

Cocky - only as a forward, maybe the occasional centre bounce, but again his desperation and toughness is something we lack, and what’s the point of giving him a contract but then being so cautious with him that he doesn’t even play

Clark - we really need his speed and taking the game in further up the ground.

Selwood

Of the players going out it would be

Henderson
Fogarty
Close
Jarvis
Atkins
Ratugolea.

Clearly Scott like to play a safe defensive game but I don’t think it will work against the Tigers.
All players in have speed which should help in applying pressure the other way but also if we move it quicker should allow more spread and space and teams will have less time to set up defensively.

I also believe that we play a lot better when we play an attacking game, I would rather lose by trying to win the to out defend a team to a win.

Just my thoughts.

I stopped reading when I saw the word Cocky. You are absolutely deluded if you think he's a chance of even being named as an emergency this year, let alone brought in for a final. What a comical post.

Nothing I’ve seen tonight would give me any confidence that will happen

 

[Moggy]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!

sigh. Feel a little better now

 

[2Knights]

Sav is our new Peter Johnston.

 

[DangerHere]

Pumped up result with late goals.

 

[ATSAM]

Ah well I still have the recording of last weeks game. I can re-watch that and dream

 

[dazbroncos]

take it here

Autopsy - Geelong lose to Richmond by 26 points.. but it really wasnt that close

That was poor. Like really poor. Sav took some good grabs and kicked some ugly stuff. Every Cats player was ordinary. And with that stick bomb. Im going to bed for 45 mins before i go to work. Shite really. Go Catters

Go Catters

 

[caitsith01]

You're crazy - he's been 75% good - which is about the same as everyone else

Yeah how people look at that game and pick out Henry... What about Guthrie kicking straight to the opposition repeatedly? Parfitt being smothered repeatedly? Menegola not putting his body in repeatedly? Etc etc

 

[Kyuss]

Our percentage advantage has been eradicated too, along with our illusions of grandeur

We are still 22% ahead of West Coast....

Add Atkins to that list. Runs around like a deer in headlights

If Cockatoo isn't back in Vic already he will be sooner than later - not available for selection, and will be having surgery on a wrist injury
