Game Day Rd 1 Geelong V Collingwood Fri March 17 2023 740 pm @ MCG

[Schmegg]

Bit of thinking to do with our setup, injuries might force a few issues, but we’ve looked pretty cooked this quarter.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Anyone sighted our captain in this last quarter?

None of our leaders stood up.
Danger, Hawkins (fair he's sore), Guthrie, Tuohy, Smith.
None.
But.. its round 1

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Pies have won the round 1 premiership

 

[Mr Meow]

Too many mistakes - the skill errors, the silly free kicks, not reading the play properly. Indicative of a team absolutely out on our feet.

It's been a disappointing end but I don't think we could cope with those early injuries and our midfield being destroyed. The knock on effect is we've run out of legs for the last quarter.

Most concerning are how these injuries affect us going forward.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Sucks to see good games decided by injuries, but footy is no cakewalk.

Pies are much fitter aerobically.

I could sense them running over us.

I understand why it's happened though.

 

[cats_09]

Smith has played between the forward line, midfield and now starting in defence

That demonstrates how our structures are out of whack as this match has continued

 

[And_ROOS]

Was always going to be a slow start to the year but to get 8 goals unanswered is unacceptable.

Lack of pace is a killer as is injuries. Really need to go back to the drawing board and retool a few things.

Hopefully we have some guys coming in next week as well.

 

[Grimoz]

Parfitt has been absolutely atrocious and Miers not much better

 

[afl genius]

Too many injuries, can't really cover that against a good side

 

[dazbroncos]

No run, too many injured blokes out there

And its gonna make 6 days time hard work too

GO Catters

 

[gogeelongcats]

we would have lost even if the umpires were on our side.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

How the * is that advantage?!

 

[DangerHere]

We scored

Exactly, losing Stewart immediately throws everything out.

I think at even strength, we beat them. But it doesn't matter now. Luckily we have a stretch of easier games coming up to hopefully get the team sorted out. As we all know, premierships aren't won in March.

 

[catempire]

Going into the game our forward line was the worry. After the first quarter today it was clearly the backline. Next few weeks shape to be tough with a patchwork of defenders.

 

[Cataholic]

Commentators banging on about the Pies 'amazing' ability to come from behind.

They overtook a side hobbled by significant injuries tonight you morons.

Their ability to think is as deep as an ice-cream lid.

 

[Mr Meow]

Fair play to Collingwood. They're up and about. They had to win this with no J.Henry, Kolo joined by Stewart and practically SDK + Stengle in-game. And they did. I still don't think we've learned a whole lot about either side tonight. If we are flat the next two games I'll be concerned.

 

[catters05]

Missing a few though aren’t we

We needed to try and slow the game down and play tempo footy once we had the lead in the 3rd.

You play breakneck speed vs them you burn yourself out.

It would've been a horrific loss if they didn't eventually run this one out well on top. So they get a pass mark but nothing more.

 

[Strange Cat]

Ah well let the ferals enjoy that one

Really disliked how the pies chose to play that game with playing the man and how the crowd acted

******* ferals

A thing called context.

It's been lost in the chaos of it all.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Absolute pretender the Pies.

It's collingwood... they are as feral as they come.
Always have been, always will.
Atleast drug dealers will be making bank tonight.
