Treating the game as it should be, practice match so have a bit of fun and chat with a bit of banter. It's great.

 

[STPer18]

A Bews out on the full. Have missed that.

 

[Grimoz]

Hows Higgins gone so far, had any influence?

 

[STPer18]

Constable has been good, gets involved in a lot.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Not really. When he's had it he's used it well but looks to just get some run into the legs.

I've felt he's been really good. Probably had somewhere between 5-10 possies that quarter playing high half forward - that projects to 20+ for the game. Has been clean and composed, used it really well.

 

[Drunkcat]

Evans looked the best from young guys that qt Constable been ok

 

[BigCat1]

That was a mauling of a 1st qrt. Like the semi final never stopped.

Danger was absolutely dominate in the midfield. Miers was good. Atkins liked lively. Guthrie very good. Sel looking rusty. Higgins was quite but playing the grave yard HFF possie. Cameron and Hawkins playing deep.

and then there is Rohan. Looked the most lively of all the fwds yet wouldn’t have a possie. There are holes in those hands

 

[MoggsCreek]

Enjoyable quarter, Danger looking good for someone who's had an intereupted preseason. Can't imagine he'll play more than a half

That's what he's going to bring I reckon, won't have huge stats but he'll make the most of what he gets.
While talking about the recruits, Cameron has been pretty good too.

If only he held his marks

If he held his marks he'd have had 3/4 shots on goal.
Such a tease of a player.

 

[Drunkcat]

Zuthrie gets pushed off the ball to easy

He's that almost player

If we're going to play both Cameron & Hawkins up forward, think I'd rather see him keep his feet on the ground & be that dangerous option once the ball hits the deck rather than the guy flying for the ball and essentially be out of the contest if he doesn't hold the mark

 

[cats_09]

Zuthrie gets pushed off the ball to easy

he was holding his own in the first quarter and not getting pushed around - I missed the start of the second quarter though

- I've never seen so many dropped marks.

 

[cats_09]

Did we ease off to start the second quarter or is there a breeze favouring the end the Pies are currently kicking to?

Expect to see dips in performance as the coaches try new things, cant dominate 100% of the time, pre-season is for trying new things.

 

[cats_09]

That was a stiff free against the captain for kicking in danger, especially when you see the ball actually kicked out of a players hand/s and nothing called - just seemed more of a pack situation rather than someone having their hands or head near the the ball

 

[Grimoz]

Shock horror small forwards doing the damage against us!!!

P.S Missing Ollie Henry in the draft could be a catastrophe, has looked great so far.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Backline been sloppy with ball in hand this quarter.
Probably blowing hard though so probably expected.

 

[Drunkcat]

Backline handball handball trouble turn over

No Harry to keep calm heads.

So what happened to geelong members getting emailed a link to the game? Did they just decide not to do that in the end.
