Game Day Round 5, 2022: Hawks v Cats, Easter Monday, 3.20pm MCG

[Roddy]

Dunno about you guys but whenever I look at the easter monday teams I say a little prayer and thank the good lord we won't be blindly hacking the ball straight to harry taylor

Since I'm immensely cynical about the idea that an invisible man in the sky invented the entire universe in six days 6000 years ago, I say yeah nah. But I'm glad Taylor's not there.

We'll just blindly hack it straight to Stewart instead....

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

I’am about 10 min away from the G. It’s just spitting, but it’s dark and ominous looks like it could bucket down any minute

 

[Cleavy]

going without saying, but tackling technique, disposal efficiency, keeping your feet, goal scoring accuracy, not giving away dumb free kicks, and tactical awareness are keys for today.

 

[grumbleguts]

Umm, that’s an eagle.

Umm, it's a glorified seagull.

 

[grumbleguts]

If someone tackles Selwood today and his arm slips up, in for a penny... as they say

I hope he takes the rest of the quarter digging his own face out of the turf.

 

[burger09]

Really hoping we can make a great game of it but not overly confident.
Cats are just so consistent. We will need to play our grand final.

If we were to only win one more game I hope its this one.

Id love for some of our kids to announce themselves to the AFL world on a big stage.

Cats board reckon Dangerfield was being managed all week. Could be a late out in the slop.

Hopefully he plays sore and Jai bashes the crap out of him

 

[Off The Couch]

Cat supporters are very confident - be nice to bring them back to earth.

Thought for the first time the boys dropped their heads and capitulated against the Saints. Can’t see that happening again. Want to see a replay of the Port game

Really hoping for a “surprise” win

Now it’s Tom Stewart

Ahh the old wedged tailed eagle. Its name comes from it having a wedged tail and the fact its an eagle.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Great to have Kosi back and hope he has a good day.

Dangerfield out would make the cats a stronger side

Newcombe to pin arms so they are both pointing to the earth’s epicentre

Actually that could be a sling tackle

Goddamn you Duckwood

Geelong have always been very good at running games out (at least against us). They never give up even when down a few goals late and it's that belief that has allowed them to steal so many games we'd ordinarily win against other teams.

Mitchell appears to have instilled that same "never give up" belief in this team, so I hope if this turns into another classic nail biter our boys can dig deep and pull off an awesome victory. That would be huge for the development of this young side.

But a key thing will not be allowing Geelong to get out to an early lead. And I say "allow" because in both instances against Carlton and St Kilda it was our own lack of effort in first quarters that paved the way to those deficit margins. If we bring the level of effort that has got us back into games we let slip early for 4 quarters then we're at the very least going to make this very close, if not win.

I really hope we're up for this.

Who says this forum isn't educational!

And the fact that it is not a badger.

Fancy dress, no socks douche or surfing outfit?

 

[Pessimistic]

Cant even remember a wet Easter Monday game

 

[PenAndPaper]

And the fact that it is not a badger.

I'm going to need some evidence for that claim

 

[Dewnior]

Douche, I'm surprised you asked

[H00t]

A response after last week is all I’m hoping for.

120 minutes of us cracking in hard at the ball and running defensively.

 

[grumbleguts]

Yeah, I'm guessing you didn't watch the last quarter last week.
