2023 Round 2

[carey]

What a Sh!t game.

[Vamos]

Bit early. Good quarter

[mighty_tiger_79]

Eels are up by 8

[Spargo]

That Cameron mark makes Wayne Harms look in play…

[locky801]

Geelong = Woeful tonight

[Vamos]

Set up beautifully for another Carlton capitulation.

Lose from here and Voss should be sacked

[Spargo]

Yep, I reckon the Cats are still in this.

[The Dark Knight]

Geelong = Woeful tonight

Their handballing/decision making has been poor which is strange to watch knowing how good they've been.

Set up beautifully for another Carlton capitulation.

Here we go

[am Bays]

Did Hawkins just cruise to that last contest then stop as three Carlton players looked to exit

Cue in the rack after two flags and a hell of a career??

Should have hung them up with his mate Joel

[stan]

Surely Carlton won't do a Carlton here.

I don’t know why they played him

[Mr Beefy]

The game has passed the good man Zach Touhy

[Vamos]

The game has passed the good man Zach Touhy

Wouldn't be surprised if he was feeling groggy, had a fair head knock to the ground in the opening minutes.

[Booney]

this could get very ugly for Carlton

[Rik E Boy]

Geelong not firing on all cylinders but as bad as we have been, we've lost by three goals and eight points. I thought we were going to get blown away last night that's how poorly we were travelling. I think any obits on any particular players is a tad premature but it's obvious plenty are not running on all cylinders. I don't think the plan was for Tom Hawkins to play early but the injury of the backup Neale has left us a little short, to pardon the pun. Yeah Tuohy wasn't great last night but those writing him off may have forgotten his brilliant two goal start against the Pies last week. Allow me a quiet chuckle if I may. I'm a hundred percent convinced Touhy will play many games better than that one. I'm sure he deserves a mulligan as long as we don't see it too often.

Hopefully the media will do the right thing and put the heat on our boys because a wounded Cat could become a dangerous Cat. The biggest problem i see is in midfield. Captain Dangerfield has been anonymous by his standards so far this year but he put in a few clunkers earlier in the season last year around this time as well. Cameron Guthrie has been atrocious there's no other words to describe his output so far. It's no coincidence that when he lifted his rating in towards the end of the third and start of the fourth that Geelong got into the game. With so many defenders out we simply can't afford to get spanked in midfeld as well. Another midfielder who is at the crossroads a bit already this season is Tom Atkins. He had a good season last year but so far in his career a four quarter performance has eluded him. We need a more consistent contribution from Atkins.

This Cat is still content but yeah a win next week would be nice lads after what has been three subpar performances so far this year.

We still win it this year.
Get through the first half of the year in 4th gear, get players back on track from injury.
Use the first half to get some game time into new players etc, not by design but it has to happen.

[MW]

Not winning the flag in March but 0-2 buts a top 4 spot in jeopardy.
