Game Day Round 8 vs. Geelong @ MCG – 7:30 pm AEST

[schmuttt]

Yep. And then we win games like this and go into finals still thinking its the way. Just like the past two years.

Tbh we aren’t bombing the ball at all, the issue is we are turning it over with short kicks

 

[Bluelegs]

Tim Watson in 3... 2... 1...

 

[schmuttt]

Perry marking it brilliantly then taking dumb kicks sums up the night tbh

Content on winning the game with defense. Stil moving it far too slow and when we try and move it fast we turn it over or fumble easy opportunities.

Last week I was frustrated because we were ****ing shit. This week I’m pissed off because we’re not finishing our good work. #DeeLife

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Well, we're shit and we're stupid in going forward but we are trying. I'll take it I guess

 

[Theseventhhamster]

* I hope my Kayo stream holds up tonight. Was abysmal at times the weekend before last

Got to go through the menu and get to fox footy. Dunno why.

 

[Clink]

Wasting all those opportunities is inexcusable.

 

[mrmonkey]

Really needed to capitalise on our momentum. Really had some gettable shots. Luckily Geelong were just as bad infront of goal as well.

We are trying to not just launch it which I’m fine with, the issue is we’ve created good chances that qtr but burned all of them. It doesn’t help our mids still suck.

 

[Dancing Potato]

That was an absolutely awful quarter to watch.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Funky, lack of goals. But real competitive effort

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Playing pretty damn well just not finishing. Need to stay on Holmes, they put all their defensive launches through him.

 

[Lord Nev]

 

[Crimson Azure]

Think the game stays like this and cats jog home in the 4th.

 

[Bluelegs]

Hilariously worse scoreline than half time last week.

It just seems they fix one thing, or try and address it, and a different part of the game drops off for them.

 

[schmuttt]

Langdon and the back 6 have been really good imo

 

[Bluelegs]

Hilariously those are still terrible half time scores

 

[netslave]

Oliver's hand is still not right and he's 4 or 5 weeks off getting back to his old form I reckon, not sure who plays instead of him though.

Im very miserable I know, getting zero enjoyment out of beating Geelong, never would have thought that was possible. I think they have killed footy for me.

 

[Scythe94]

Not entirely sure how to feel.

You can see how we're trying to play, and it'd be frustrating the hell out of Geelong, but at some stage, you NEED to execute inside 50, otherwise it's just another version of controlling the game and losing.

I'll give Goody some ups for obviously coming in with a plan for the oppo, but it's pretty grim watching us go to water ahead of the ball yet again.

 

[Clink]

Somehow, I'm still believing in them.
(need to go and get myself another beer - it really helps to stay afloat )

 

[Crimson Azure]

Good - cats 2 goals
Bad - Melbourne 3 goals

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Really? Both sides missed some shots but otherwise there are great contests all over the ground. We are doing well to curb Cameron, Miers, Jack Henry, Stewart who have torn sides apart through 7 rounds. Given Scott something to think about at the very least.
