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

[MelbourneGWS]

Wow..and just like that we are equal! Cmon Giants

 

[Section226]

Keeping an eye on Riccardi and Cadman because one of them should be dropped for Brown next game.

So far, Riccardi has read the tea leaves.

Cadman had better lift his game.

 

[Section226]

WTF???

Bedford has had NO disposals.

No tackles.

Absolutely zilch.

just taken out head-high off the ball ... and nada from the umps.

****ing corrupt maggots.

 

[Battlepants]

Riccardi playing like a man possessed!

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Riccardi doing his best to ensure that he will be playing next game

 

[Section226]

Typical.

XOH misses from directly in front 20m out, then kicks an absolute bomb from 55m.

Enigma.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Toby seems to be limping but getting back into position so seems to be ok

 

[taurus]

I'm liking this more deliberate approach by the Giants. It's minimising the counter attacks.

The blind handpasses and kicks were just giving the ball to the opposition to counterattack ... the penny had to drop sometime!

 

[Callums_Guns]

Forget Manuka take our games to GMHBA during the Easter Show period of the season

:

For the first half:

1 Disposal (hand pass)
No tackles

If a small is to be dropped, he should be at the top of the list.

Hasn't played well all year and is a passenger.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Hope Coniglio’s injury is not serious as he has been subbed - is there more information on his condition

 

[taurus]

Yep. An obvious Plan B

We are lucky that the Geelong mids have their issues with the clearances. Without Cogs, our mids will inevitably regress in the second half, let's hope we can hold up before the cats adjust.

Although, clearances to HT are Briggs (6), Callaghan (4), Peatling (4), Green (3) ... and the sub (McMullin) has been OK at getting clearances in VFL, so hopefully they can keep it going. Fingers crossed!

 

[taurus]

Yeah Bedford has been disappointing this season. We don't have access to advanced stats so can't categorically state if he isnt doing more one per centers and pressure acts.

Eyes suggest that he is out of form.

Eyes suggest that he is out of form.

Earlier in the year (when we were winning) I put up some selected stats around his pressure and indicated that those showed what he brings to the team, but I agree that he just hasn't been improving across the season, and to the eye, he's not even providing the pressure that was his original "no 1 wood".

Depending on injuries out of this game, with Callum Brown to come back in, I could see that Bedford could come out for Brown (if Kingers wants to keep the 3 tall combo of Hogan, Riccardi, Cadman).

 

[MelbourneGWS]

welcome back Riccardi - missed you the past few weeks

 

[taurus]

Cheers GiantStride.

We know that Finn Callaghan will be a good player and is developing but his skill errors like missing a handball target is frustrating to watch.

 

[taurus]

Typical.

XOH misses from directly in front 20m out, then kicks an absolute bomb from 55m.

Enigma.

Dale Lewis of the Swans was an ultimate enigma. He could slot a goal from tightest corner yet miss a sitter in front.

 

[Andre the Giant]

I really like X and Peatling in this side. Both unfashionable, Peatling light bodied, X not always smart but both high intensity guys and good barometers for team effort.

Still lots to do here so hopefully can hang on

 

[Drummond]

XO turnover costly again. He does my head in sometimes.

 

[Section226]

Keep Riccardi out of the backline at all costs.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Wow - frantic defending by our lads to stop the Cats on the last couple of minutes

 

[Giant Strides]

We're back to gifting the ball to Geelong to do what they want.
