Review Rd 1, 2019: Geelong defeats Pies at MCG by 7 points

[Cataholic]

Hey, I never said they are here.

Hallelujah. You had me worried there for a moment......

One more thing - they say 75% of statistics are made up. That true?

Meaningless.

Meaningless.

Well played sir!

It's a pathetically stupid saying used by the uneducated in an attempt to justify their own biases. It's the type of saying that comes from Trump supporters.

It's like saying an exam score of 35/100 is a better result than 75/100 under certain conditions???
The NFL uses stats for absolutely everything anyone who ignores them is totally subjective to his random biases.

Do you think 10 Gary Ablett possessions are worth the same as 10 Wilie Buzza possessions?

Can l be subjectively biased about this or not???...Lol!!
Does 1 Cunico kick equal 2 Fogarty's?

I know there's been a fair bit of talk & rightfully praise for Rohan's efforts at the end of the match with his chase from the forward pocket to lay a tackle in the middle of the ground. It seems to have been talked about in a GFC podcast but they have also got a clip to go with the podcast & the clip includes footage from behind the goals, tracking Rohan & his efforts in that play:

I was just about to link that. 50 seconds left in the game, I don't think Collingwood would have scored from this attack but he completely ices it. And that is hard work that a few of our forwards just wouldn't have put in over the last few years.

Pressures, makes a hit, then gets a kick to a team mate. Only gets one stat there though.

 

[Down at K Park]

You cannot deny his efforts. Just keeps going and going till the play moves on. And he will do that the whole game. Such a hard worker.

2 words...

Work rate.

Go Catters

 

[allrighty]

WTF???

It's something that I was taught in every maths class & psychology class I ever studied and there's merit behind it.

Raw statistics and numbers can be useful, but they can be interpreted differently and used to back-up/defend different points depending on what you want them to say.

I'm happy to use statistics when making a point, but I also know the importance of being selective with what I use because one number may help your point but the next number hurts the same point.

Statistics is data, how it is interpreted is information. The same data can be interpreted in many different ways to suit many arguments. Hence the original quote.

Quite brilliant effort that.

Apologies for the delay in getting this up, there'll be a much quicker turnaround for this week's Melbourne clash. For anybody that didn't see one of these posts in the 2nd half of last season, these are the midfield frequency stats from your match (ie. how often players were lining up as one of your 5 mids at centre bounces). I'll be posting these after Geelong's FTA matches (including any finals).

Considering that there was 14 days between our JLT match against Essendon & our match against Collingwood, did we technically win after a bye week?

In some ways, they may well be worth less... in that a midfielder with 15 has had a poor game, a CHF with 15 usually has a big impact.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Can’t believe cats weren’t favourites.

I can't believe we won

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I loved Menzel’s comeback but what did he do outside of kicking goals within 25m from goal.

His contested marking, decision making, and set shot kicking were pretty amazing. He turned a lot of half cooked aerial contests into goals.

Hahaha ... no

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Whatever. Rohan played well and was exciting. If he is exciting to US, he must be frightening to THEM. Im backing in what I saw on the weekend. May be round 1, but Im going to hold my optimism here. If this is how we are going to play, Ive got my big bag of excitey popcorn out for the season.

 

[Johnny Cattery]

Stanley was an absolute spud the first 3/4... Good to see him contribute in the last with some key wins... Good win by the boys - it's going to be a season of highs and lows for sure. Hopefully the forward line functions a bit smoother as they gel.

Have seen the first quarter three times now, so have an advantage: no, he wasn't. He did some really important things.

Wow! He left Clark for dead in that chase.

Only if that's their total for one game, which I wasn't implying.

Nah, its more like 90. ;-)

 

[4quarter_cat]

Quite brilliant effort that.
