[dazbroncos]

That was a good win.. hard work but great win to get

GO Catters

 

[Art Vandelay_]

4 debutantes. Beats the grand finalists.
Happy for Miers and Atkins to stay up forward. Love their pressure.

 

[ryzza11]

I liked it.

Suck that Stevic!!!

After we hung in there in the first half
That 2nd half was the kind of performance that can set up a season

 

[The Casey Cat]

Wow. Great to scrap out a win in the end. Just felt like a night we would fall short for so much of it. Good stuff by Tom to nail the snap at the end. Had to get it done and he did.

 

[Blueboys7]

Stanley superb against the beast that is Grundy.

You've found a couple in Clark and Constable. The former could end up the pick of the bunch from the 2018 draft, only if Walsh doesn't come on.

Nothing better than beating the Pies, well done!

 

[Landgraft]

Held the nerve, backed things in, and got the win on our terms.

Loved the way that game turned out. First half was admittedly a bit dogshit, though.

 

[ChappyUK]

Two words. Forward pressure!

 

[Cosmic Energy]

I love this club. What a privilege to be a supporter.

"Can't wait to hear how we didn't deserve this and are still no good"

- Landgraft

All game, commentators: Ohhh Collingwood are so good

Afterwards, commentators: Well this is the new Geelong, look we always knew they'd be good and it's no surpr...


Shut up, ya dickheads.

 

[Turbocat]

Stanley and Ablett played a big part imo.

Stanley was up against a huge player

and Ablett is just clean

Kelly ... man oh man

and Danger please work on your kicking man

 

[Falconx]

Danger I love you to bits, and you had a massive 2nd half, but I wouldn't be shocked if your goalkicking causes people to pull their hair out.

 

[frggr]

4 debutantes. Beats the grand finalists.
Happy for Miers and Atkins to stay up forward. Love their pressure.

Plus 2 new recruits.

That's an incredible result.

 

[thecatattack]

Credit to Dalhaus fr. 24 touches, 6 tackles and a goal.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Tell me that wasn't one of the greatest first round wins in many years by the catters
Selwood dragged us over the line again
Danger picked himself out of the first half gutter
Brilliant match by our first game 6
Stanley beatiful
Ablett at key moments sensational
Kelly was outbloody standing all night
Backline brilliant
Harry is back
Stewy wonderful
O'Connor did some outstanding things
WOW

 

[CaptainJayho]

Great start to the season. Looked pretty shaky in the second quarter but came back pretty strongly after that. Well played boys!

 

[patience]

What a game. To all those sooking it up at half time of the first game of the season - shame, shame, shame.

 

[Turbocat]

Cam Mooney ...got to love the moons

 

[Tackle_happy]

To those who will gripe that Rohan did nothing. He hit packs harder than Hawk and Rat combined. Loved that he did that and really put pressure on those balls that got out easily last year.

 

[hoopla]

Great win against a good team. Skills were a bit down for both teams but it was slippery out there. The forward pressure was fantastic...much improved.

 

[Frappe]

After half time 34-14 I50s in our favour - I think it was 24-34 at 1/2 time.

 

[barmy44]

i thought stanley played really well...

 

[Baby Duck]

Good win. But for the love of god please drop Kolo.
