VFL VFL: Geelong Season 2021

[Spazz Cat]

I guess the beauty of this Spazz is it will be determined by if he stays on an AFL list. If Geelong don't want him and neither does any other team then it don't look much like bias does it.

As they say in the classics time will tell.

I reckon he's gone. Somehow Zuthrie will stay for 2 more years.
But it doesn't take away from the fact he was good today though.

Okunbor will never play AFL if he does he will be laughed at

 

[Spazz Cat]

Trent McMullan is a premiership player in 2019 from St Mary's and is a key position player who can operate at both ends of the ground.

Ahhh s**t. Wrong player. Guess I was talking about McLaughlin.
Can't believe he didn't make the bests.

coupla last 1/4 tackles that were game savers

GO Catters

Yeah. Didn't look great IMO. Just off this game anyway.

Yeah I guess I find it hard to get away from my feelings on him as a footballer in order to assess each performance in its merits.

His skills are poor he has a go but can not play AFL with them skills

True. I know Blitz made it. But I don't think it can happen twice.

We seemed to dominate the clearances with okunbor and Holmes in there, in the last quarter. High hopes for okunbor

Do you think he has the requisite skill?There seems to be doubt in some quarters is all.

I can't comment as I haven't seen him play.

 

[Turbocat]

Big last quarter by Okunbor when the heat was on.
Ditto Simpson, to a lesser extent.


Yes, absolutely dominated the ruck contests and fed out a lot to runners because he was actually able to grab them in the contest instead of just hitting it nowhere.

Seems a few different opinions

Kicks it rarely from what I've seen this season. When he does he has the more robotic style like O'Connor does. Don't think he'll be a quality user, but serviceable maybe?

Tools are there to be a very good defensive mid imo. But tools, potential and actual output are quite different.

I've enjoyed watching the reserves compared to last year where we saw none of them

Results?? BOG, Goals etc

Did Holmes play?

 

[foxdog50]

I see what the VFL Twitter said who were best. But people who watched it, who would you say
54321?

Please be Fort, so Stanley can be dropped

 

[cats_09]

Did Holmes play?

yes, much quieter than previous weeks

 

[catempire]

Seems like he got enough of it (26 possessions I see from the VFL app) but maybe you’re right as he wasn’t mentioned much on Twitter or named in the best.

I was watching on Kayo, definitely saw him involved early, he did some really nice things and he looked a class above the VFL

But similar to previous weeks in that he wasn't as noticeable down the stretch, and that's when some of the bigger bodies with guys Jarvis, Okunbor and the likes seemed to really get involved

When he's up & about he looks good, but then he's also looking like a kid who didn't get to play competitive football last year and is building into the season

It was kind of a reverse of last week - I noticed Constable more than Holmes, even though Constable wasn't doing the flashy stuff (more of the same - maybe it stood out in a messy game). That said, I missed parts of the game so take with a grain of salt.

 

[Drunkcat]

Oh well Thursday night we are going for 3 out of 3 vs Bullants then we play Casey the week after

I thought he was good, but there were a couple of missed tackles in the last quarter that suggested a player who is not only skinny but knackered. He also struggled a bit (like all the midfielders) with the kicking into the win.

 

[TheYid]

Time to take a chance on McLachlan and think about elevating him.

My two cents.

Yes! Well, either him or Smith - both have looked a cut above so far this year.

 

[Drunkcat]

I thought from the top ups Trent McMullan was the best he is 24 shame he is not 22 would be worth keeping a eye on
