Autopsy Round 11 2024 – Geelong Cats vs GWS Giants, Saturday May 25, 4.35pm AEST, GMHBA Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Well, here we are on game day for Cats v Giants.

Like others, I am entirely pessimistic about this. Great to hark back to yesteryear - our victory in this game last year turned our season around, and, we've won 3 times in a row at the Cattery. But the past doesn't make the present, and the present makes for unpleasant viewing. Quite a few changes to our team due to injuries, but the biggest change required is really around attitude and effort.

I hope we win, but I expect we lose. Time for Kingers to kick some arses. Hard.

 

[Giant YoYo]

Heading down to the game today.

Hoping for a win, see how we go.

 

[Section226]

Like last week, the lack of height is a worry.

Pessimistic as well, but live in hope.

 

[Land of the Giants]

I expect we'll come out all guns blazing, then Geelong will assert itself, and gain control.

Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

 

[BarryAglett]

If we can keep it close, we can show some grit and grow some confidence.

 

[sydney_gws]

I expect we'll come out all guns blazing, then Geelong will assert itself, and gain control.

Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I think we match up well with Geelong, with their midfield not having the size and quality of Carlton, Bulldogs, Swans.
Would be better if Josh Kelly was playing.
Can we please not do stupid things lime handballing to a player under pressure.
I would tell Riccardi he is negating Stewart, do it with intensity or next week VFL.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Feeling pessimistic, but hopefully we will rise up from the ashes of the bad loss to the Bulldogs last week. Toby McMullin our sub

 

[Colonial]

Fingers crossed

 

[Section226]

Shame Foxfooty didn't do a side-by-side of Bruhn's reaction at Draft night v his reaction after the goal.

Edit: Whitfield kicks directly to an opponent....FMD.

Edit2: So too Green.

What the heck....

 

[steviewonder36]

Foxfooty sucks.

Two ex Cats players commentating and the other one is a known supporter.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

hope Coniglio is ok

 

[Section226]

Coniglio should have taken the tackle as he had no prior.

Instead of holding the ball in, his movement to kick the ball has resulted in a shoulder injury.

Thomas hand-passes directly to a Geelong player in the Giants F50.

Edit: Haynes kicks to the wing where Geelong players outnumber us.

 

[Giant Strides]

****, we just keep handing the ball over to the Cats. As we have to Dogs, Bombers and Swans in the past 3 weeks.

 

[Section226]

That's why you aren't a walk-up starter, O'Halloran.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

X obviously didn’t mark the spot - XO should have kicked that. But before that Jesse should have been given the mark

 

[sydney_gws]

Haynes with a goal for Geelong, O’Halloran misses from almost in front.
A number of players playing well for us.

 

[Section226]

And again Whitfield kicks it straight to a Geelong player.

Put him up as trade bait.

Damn I'm annoyed at his performance and attitude.

Far too casual.

 

[Section226]

First AFL game for ages and Angwin goes for a no-look, over the shoulder hand pass.

Result?

Goal to Geelong.

Goodness me.....

 

[sydney_gws]

They can't kick this accurately all game I hope.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Umpires already showing their bias..even the commentators are puzzled by some of their decisions against us

 

[Giant Strides]

That's just corrupt umpiring, pulling us back from a mark inside 50 for a "free kick" that disadvantages us!

 

[Battlepants]

Umpires have robbed Hogan of 2 already in this game.

 

[Section226]

Green blindly hand passes to a Geelong opponent.

We could break the all-time intercept record.

And Geelong players don't have to do anything except stand there and say thank you.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Foxfooty sucks.

Two ex Cats players commentating and the other one is a known supporter.

That's when the mute button comes in handy.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Jesse!! Well deserved after the umpires robbing him of a couple of goals..
