Match thread live

[dread and might]

so i'm assuming it is half time.....don't have time to read thread, what is our forward setup?

[TheGrimReaper]

Just the television commentary. There were some very interesting things that they've obviously entered the game with in their mind.

They show the ladder, Sydney has a higher percentage than Geelong despite having the 1 loss... "Geelong play a very attacking style of footy. Sydney will be playing their tightchecking, contested brand of footy. A clash of two styles!"

Huge 1st quarter by Geelong "They've blown Sydney away in this quarter with their free running play"
Huge 2nd quarter by Sydney "Well it's a tight tussle, Sydney putting the clamps on"

2 Cats players push Swans in the back in a marking contest, ends up as a free kick to Ted "Well the free kicks were there"
Davis pushes a Cat in the back "Do you think his coach will be dissapointed he tried to take the easy way out there?"

On 3AW, Nathan Buckley mentioned that we are out-played Geelong using their game-plan.

I don't think I can get 3AW up here. Isn't that the station Rex Hunt commentates on?

Yes, I'm listening to it on the Internet.

Seriously about a dozen games in and I think Buckley is close to the top commentator talking about the AFL.

1st quarter when Swans missed a few shots from the same pocket "there's no wind down that end"
2nd quarter Geelong can't score at the same end "well the wind has definitely picked up a bit"

Yes, I'm listening to it on the Internet.

Unfortunately the internet and TV are in different rooms so I don't have the luxury of listening on the net, have to put up with MMM. MMM Sydney commentary team a generally pretty good.

[robamiee]

how many do we need to be within at 3/4 to have a chance...
i reckon around 2 goals...

[TheGrimReaper]

lol Umpires are going our way, and the crowd is getting frustrated. I'm loving it.

[gossipcom]

Okay so Mattner is on Johnson and Barry is on Hawkins at the moment.

A goal coming up for Mooney. Luckily he missed.

[TheGrimReaper]

Can we get the first goal of the quarter for once?

[robamiee]

we need that 1st goal to put the dampers on them.
seems they the cats have the run from what i can gather on the radio...
