Cats and Hawks can possibly both be on 0-3 come Easter Monday

 

[peetoo]

McKay is huge. Who says Ramma can’t be a key forward?

 

[blackheart]

Even the Cats don't really wanna play him

Geelong always were a few steps behind us. Now the slide will start and they'll be down the bottom next year like we've been!

Cats 0-2, oh well.

 

[bigmaxi]

Don’t think Buddy was driven entirely by success do you?

Pretty sure his move to Sydney was due to a combination of heaps of coin and a GF (now wife) who wanted to live / work in the Emerald City

That’s not a success story, cash, hot chick, life style ?

Cats will still make finals this year - their next 6 weeks is a joke. They are finished though.

He's very, very slow. Not sure what we saw in him when we had him in our sights. Must have thought he was going for a late pick.

I know points are a pretty useless tool for anything besides bidding and matching, but Geelong gave up at least Pick 9 worth in points (38, 48, 55 and a future 2nd) for Pick 25 which was used to trade for Bruhn. Can't see him living up to that.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Let's all hope all of Bowes, Bruhn and Henry live to regret their decision. The team starts treading water meanwhile we start a rise up the ladder while they look on and ponder what might have been?. Moral of the story don't let Danger persuade you into making a life changing decision.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

They would be cactus without Cameron if Hawkins continues to be so-so moving forward. Was an absolute colossus tonight but he wouldn't be able to do that every week. Needs Hawkins to support. Jeremy is the main man now.

 

[Dewnior]

Thought Bowes wasn’t half bad…

You're right, he was 100% bad. Blues should really send Bowes and Bruhn a bottle of champers for their 4th quarter clangers

 

[Off The Couch]

ICYMI - it’s round two

Still some road to travel to get to the edge of the cliff

But I do agree - it’s a wonderful start to the season for them

 

[chopflop]

I thought bruhn was worth no more than a third round pick and that his ceiling is Harry Morrison

Played a lot better than Bruhn. 20 touches @80%, 11 contested, 500 metres gained, 17 pressure acts. Wasn’t as great when the game was there to be won but was one of their better players for the night.

 

[Ram-Man]

I thought Selwood's absence was noticeable last night.

55 generous free kicks per year is hard to replace.

 

[HedgeFund]

SDK is going to be some player. He's not only shutting a Coleman medalist out (only goal when SDK was off after a hit), but he's intercepting and leading the defense.

He's only one year ahead of DGB in the system...

He’s also 9cm taller and 15kgs heavier. Which kinda helps.

Yes he always had that handy knack for getting a free kick in clutch moments

He played a good game but apparently pretty slow by foot which was noticeable last night.
Bruhn looks a potential solid AFL player without any real standout attributes.
Henry talented but looks a front runner at the minute

Those guys were never going to get near replacing who was and will go out , despite the mass panic about their 'trade' period last year .

Damien Barrett reporting that Geelong are tanking...

How are you getting that from this?

Looks like he is pulling the old injury excuse for there bad start but pointing out they have 3 very winnable games coming up.

IF ...​

a 0-2 scoreline would normally be ultra-worrying ...

THEN ...​

it isn't for the Cats. Nothing to be concerned about for the reigning premier. Yet. Injuries in the backline have cruelled them. Gold Coast, Hawthorn, West Coast up next.

Henry has always been a front runner. Does not defend thats why he was dropped from the pies team chucked a hissy fit and is now with Geelong. Lets see how long he lasts playing at AFL level the way he plays. Talent can only take u that far. There is a tipping point

I think he was being sarcastic mate...

The decision was made before fresh allegations concerning text messages were made against the player.
