Non-Richmond games 2023

Blues so far winning the midfield 50/50s but have let the Cats off the hook on the scoreboard.

Cats look slow and somewhat disinterested

Hate him, but sniper Cameron nearly got them over the line

I'm kind of happy to see Geelong get done again, but gees don't Carlton get an armchair ride from the umps?  So many soft as butter frees  set Carlton up for the win ...

Cats look slow and somewhat disinterested

Geelong too reliant on too few so far this year: Cameron, Cam Guthrie, Dangerfield, Holmes and Smith. A number of the Cats look like they are one-year wonders: Rohan, Stengle and Close have done nothing in the first two rounds. Stanley is back to being the spud he was when we played Geelong in finals in our flag years. Other Cats which they have brought in make costly mistakes at crucial times such as Bowes missing from just 20m out. The Blues did their best to try and lose the game in the last quarter too, but Geelong still couldn't get over them. Hello premiership hangover!

In the final quarter, the Cats lead the inside 50 count 17-4 with a 9-1 advantage in forward half intercepts and a 7-2 lead in shots at goal but have recorded forward half kicking efficiency of only 47 percent.

Another loss next week and SHocking will probably want to change the rules again  .


ps. We'll find out on Saturday if our game last week against Carlton was actually decent in hindsight.

This was a disgraceful decision. 4 umps on the ground yet they all imagined the tackle was high when it clearly wasn't.

Compare that to our players who actually cop head high contact and the muppets just wave their arms and call play on  .

Brisbane making Melbourne look very average so far. Gawn off the ground early with a possible medial obviously helps the Lions with Grundy now having to do all the ruck work for the Dees and no Gawn to intercept any down the line kicks.

[one-eyed]

Could be the media clickbait as there's no confirmation yet but Jon Ralph saying Melbourne hasn't ruled out Gawn having done his ACL.

[mightytiges]

Bang! Lights out at the Gabba  .

Looks like a globe in one of the main light towers is on fire.

[WilliamPowell]

Back on

Why?

Demons have kicked 3 and it's back to 3 goals

Brisbane need to switch on. Just going through the motions...

[mightytiges]

The Lions were asleep when they came back. 40 points back down to 11 in the end. Well, it was worth it for the rest of the comp. Means no big percentage win for Brisbane.

[mightytiges]

You can't play a free flowing shootout against the Pies. Port offering no pressure.

ps. Got to love how the umps love the Pies. 16 frees in a quarter and a half. We're lucky to get that many for an entire match  .

[mightytiges]

Freo were stiff. Could have been paid deliberate against Norf on the siren inside Freo's F50.

Mind you if you lose to Norf you get what you deserve as we learnt last year . And it's better for us anyway if the likes of Freo, 
 who were expected to challenge for a spot in the finals, are still winless.

Saints pressure looks elite and guess what?

They are dominating even wit 11 senior players missing.
