WB Game Day V Geelong R14 2020

[Stefcep]

Is team game and we win as a team and lose as a t...arr bugger it Bruce and JJ (2nd time this season) cost us this one. Every game has key moments and Geelong took theirs, and we had Bruce and JJ with the ball.

[Mofra]

We stopped playing like we did in the first quarter and seemed to move the ball too slowly.

Not by choice, Geelong shut us down.
We can't turn it into a tough contest unless we actually play a ruck in the ruck.

English might be a decent high forward (which is the role he played), but Dunkley isn't a ruckman. It's not conceding clearances that is a problem, it's just that we concede clean clearances at times without a ruck

[bornadog]

We ran out of puff and we arent really that good of a side. No bed shitting whatever that means. We did battle hard.

Excatly. Libba was stuffed in the second half, Hunter was stuffed by the last.

[jeemak]

They kicked 5 goals until three quarter time. Then kick 5 in last quarter. Not having Wood was a massive blow.

Absolutely it was, and it was only an exacerbation of being a man down for most of the game. You could see our players running in sand as the game wore on.

However, it doesn't excuse the way we played in the second quarter. We couldn't soak up the pressure and our handling skills really suffered.

[G-Mo77]

We didn't get the ball inside 50 as much as we should have, so no opportunites.

So play a 1 dimensional player and expect the ball come in like training. It was a very ordinary selection. Didn't cost us the game but certainly didn't help

[EasternWest]

Oh and seeing as I'm on the Geelong love train I wish we'd pick up Rohan when he was available.

[Remi Moses]

My god how frustrating
We’re not a million miles off
Best players didn’t fire a shot tonight
You could see the tide turning after 1/4 time

[Rance Fan]

No decent ruckman just added to the woes

[KT31]

See that by Danger on Hunter. can we stop the Bont hype please

Love Bont, but you're right.

Yeh your both right, Danger is such a better club man and always put his hand up for a Captaincy role.
Oh and his stand out performance in Grand finals is second to none, oh wait he has never played in one and unlike Bont's who is stiff not to have a Norm Smith.

[Grantysghost]

We had a few "battlers" tonight but Geelong after the top team in the comp right now.
The gap between 8th and first is big.

Would they beat Tigers? I think they're clearly the best still. As we saw early you bring the heat Geelong fold. I was impressed with Scott's coaching though.

[The Pie Man]

Well f.. hey?

[Mantis]

Not by choice, Geelong shut us down.

Is English even decent up forward? Very slow & top heavy with him down there with Bruce & Naughton as talls and Wally & Dickson who play tall (slow, not mobile).

Really strange tactics, especially when Geelong were getting a huge advantage around the ball with their ruck domination.

[comrade]

2016 was great, but who wants to live 4 years in the past?

[bornadog]

So play a 1 dimensional player and expect the ball come in like training. It was a very ordinary selection. Didn't cost us the game but certainly didn't help

What I am saying is the forwards didn't get the opportunities, doesn't matter who played as a small forward.

We lost this around the ground. They beat us in Clearnaces, stoppages, Cont Poss. Libba and Bont only had 15 touches each, Dunkley wasted in the ruck with only 13 touches.

[angelopetraglia]

Cats are about to make the top four for the 10th time in 14 seasons.
