Yep infuriating, a lack of game awareness and intensity to push back quickly

I said it last week, all our mids just play a role and work so well together.
Been impressed by Parfitt stepping up in Danger's absence the last couple weeks.

Would say Stewart was a little down. But the standards he plays at that's still better than most in the comp.
Should also be noted that Stanley did compete very well against English and won more H/O but English had more H/O to Adv and at a higher rate.. But that could also be that he had better and more hardened midfielders more capable of winning clearance. And Bont and Libba were on a tear.
How Bont has no brownlow but Mitchell, Neale and Cripps do will continue to baffle.
I'd add Cameron to the list. Inaccurate night in front of goal but they had no match up for him and he took advantage. Led the game for score involvements.
Tanner center clearances are starting to become my favourite thing to watch each week.
Love his ability to turn on a dime in the stoppage and he has such a good left foot that it doesn't matter what side he gets the ball on.

Could be one of our biggest wins of the year. Most would’ve been very happy with 3-1 and a lot would’ve taken 2-2. 4-0 is massive
I thought sdk was much better this week.

Spot on
I would call that a very satisfying, professional win! Down our two best mids and with Treloar, Bont and Libba playing at their highest level, it still felt like the game was played on our terms. I think it’s patently obvious that we ran out of puff near the end. So a win is a win is a win!
Our defence did a great job against the Bulldogs marking power.
Home game against Roos next week “should” give us 5-0. We’ll need that kind of start because we have a very challenging few rounds.
Brisbane at the Gabba
Blues, then Dees at the G
Port at home
Then GCS and GWS.
Hectic. Hard to see us winning all of those.
The 4/5-0 start just really helps us with player management early.
Maybe Hawk gets a break next week?

how are we travelling in the reserves? Pretty hard to dominate in a poor team in his position.
Better off giving him a go in the seniors and putting good players around him.

Gryan: “Coincidentally, everyone says Jezza + Hawk. I think I actually kick it to Ollie Henry the most.”
Dal: “Why?”
Gryan: “He’s actually the most athletic one down there.”

I’m not sure we were that great tonight, which is actually almost the most positive aspect of the night.
We had opportunities up forward but struggled to make the most of them. Our defence held strong to get the win but at the same time we lacked the drive out of defence needed to attack the better teams.
To win games with our better players being youngsters is so satisfying though! Feels like it has been a long time coming but to beat a team who are supposedly stacked with young guns is a great effort.

Bullies threw everything at the Cats in Q4
Had momentum, fresher legs and ump's
Tiring Cats willed themselves to compete.
Maintained composure, ran down the clock
Good teams find a way to win
Young Cats players continue to impress.
Mires, Holmes, jumped from Rookie to Elite
Bruhn, Bowes, Zuth reliable and improving.
Clark tough with a sprinkling of class
Dempsey, excitement machine, future star
Light week on the training track.
A few players to be managed.
Final tune-up against the Roos
Cats fast transition game honed
Longer bursts of form every week
Get ready to be tested by Lions

Couldn’t agree more. So much so that I dislike it when he isn’t in them.
I love watching him in interviews.View attachment 1952314

Last couple years he's gotten a lot more confident and has shown his personality to the media.

I loved Parfitt's game tonight. There was a huge pressure act by him late on the wing which resulted in a turnover in our favour. Also I thought Stanley played quite well.
I think Ollie Henry needs to stop looking for free kicks and re-enacting Gary Ablett Snr every time he's near it and just focus on being competitive.

Classic inconsistency/lack of tank from a 30 odd game midfielder, I'd say. He really didn't develop on the forward flank at GWS. It'll all come together for full games soon enough. But we have to remember he's just shy of his 22nd birthday and his midfield career started in 2023.

Didn't think he was bad tonight ?

Geelong are putting a lot into his development. When he was injured he worked with Wells + was sent to games to see potential players.
I think he’s a future captain.
His Mum told me that when he was a kid he’d go around the neighbourhood + collect kids to play footy. He’d organise them into teams according to their positions

Agree but needs to work on 4 quarters rather than fading after 2 excellent ones.
