Sydney Swans Vs Geelong Cats Game Thread

[liz]

Goodes/Richards combine for a total knife in the heart with 30 secs to halftime ....

It was probably a wrong decision for Mummy to pass to a stationery Goodes. Should have just hoofed the ball down our end.

And while Barlow has had no positive impact (nice mark, shame about the kick) he was sold into trouble by Kennelly strangely playing the ball back into the teeth of defence from where he was. Barlow had very little chance to do anything with the hottest of hot potatos.

We currently have three players who I think have had two possessions between them. On the plus side, Jesse's contribution has been really good, while Shaw probably played his best half for the year so far.

would Bevan have been a better choice than Barlow?

Yes

Sounds like Simon Phillips would of been a better option.

Yes, I believe so..

Stuck at Mothers day lunch. Looking at the stats it's incredible we're only two goals down

[tasswan]

inside 50's 30 to 18 am suprised we are not being flogged

Geelong play for frees so much. It has to catch up with them eventually, but I don't think today.

Mmmm frees 11 to Swans, 17 to Geel - who would've thought?

Umpires make decisions as they always have - who you are determines how much time or how soft a free is. I almost spat out my beer with laughter when the commentators on Fox (3 out of 4 ex Geelong players) said that James Kelly was 'hard' - must be a different bloke from what I know.

Mumford doing well against his old mob, but we are making too many simple mistakes. 3 dropped marks that qtr cost us every time.

We are actually doing pretty well considering the stats.

They are really a bunch of seagulls. Sellwood, Ablett, Chapman etc.

I tell you what we are a chance if we can just pick up a bit with our decision making at key times and work on that disposal (Jetta's disposal is shocking at times).

Liam Pickering, please just work on non Ablett games, your quick excuse making for him when Kieren got into space and got a great goal nearly made me throw up.

We need to lift big time in the 3rd Quarter if we're going to win this. If we are still behind at 3/4 time regardless of the margin I don't think we can run them down. I can sum up the umpiring in two words - BLOODY JOKE! Half the time it seems as though the crowd is umpiring the game and the dorks are too scared to give us any 50/50 decisions.

[IrishSwanPerth]

Why didnt Richards attack the ball, lot of avaerage players out there today.
Barlow, Rohan, Bradshaw have 3-4 kicks between them. If Bradshaw doesnt get the ball in his hands, he doest do much.

Jesse and Mummy are going well. We need our half back line running and break lines, this will bring Bradshaw into the game.

You need to be shot by a gun to get a decision by the umpires in Geeelong for away side, same in Subi, Perth. When teams arrive in Sydney, we need to put the same pressure on umpires.

yep. cut down the error rate in the second half and it will be there for the stealing. Cats have had the bounce of the ball with em, not to mention the three blind mice chiming in with a few goal assists.

The way to stop that is to be accountable.
