Game Day R1 2024 Cats V Saints

[CURLY]

See ya Bynes Higgins

[shrodes]

Biased umps 17 Saints 14 Cats gifting King a goal… waitaminute

You mean when his jumper was ripped off

Gotta admire your commitment to the bit in mentioning the free kick count incessantly while Geelong had more and then completely ignoring it once we did.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Screw that sardine can of a ground.
Now, the AFL screws us again with only a 5 day break.

[spert]

See ya Bynes Higgins

Byrnes probably our best player, Higgins, Owens, Crouch, Steele, Wood, Ross probably our worst

11-5 start including two clear marks not awarded our way.

Then we get pinned for a rushed behind the free against Stocker

The last bounce when we were 1 point down Henry was held and grabbed when he had open space.

Cheating and game changing

Yep, like when they gave King that last goal.

Must be stopped.

[B.M]

Some of STK forwards are completely unreliable in front of goal

Owens - terrible
Higgins - disgusting
King - hit and miss

[CURLY]

See ya Bynes Higgins

Byrnes probably our best player, Higgins, Owens, Crouch, Steele, Wood, Ross probably our worst

Steele 25 haha

[SaintPav]

That HTB decision that wasn’t paid was crucial. Big mistake.

Clear free

[SydneySainter]

There is nothing honourable about that loss. We are a s**t team.

Yep deplorable

[CURLY]

Geelong in Geelong missing our best player our best lock down tall and best medium defender.

[The Fireman]

Well done saints . Bloody good effort
Gee we have some unusual supporters in regards to comments concerning Sharman
Strange to say the least…no not strange just blatantly dumb…

A great cameo tonight darcy and good luck to the kid

[The_Dud]

Better second half, but still goal kicking killed us.

A few of the young blokes showed some signs, Henry looked electric, he seemed just off a game breaking play a number of times.

Ross subbed off says a lot, we desperately need an injection of xfactor into the middle, we’ve got a bunch of GOPs at this point.

Collingwood have started the season poorly, maybe we’ll be a chance?

[The Fireman]

There is nothing honourable about that loss. We are a s**t team.

You still here.?

[Vortex]

A few players who didn't contribute that much so time will tell if that's a positive or if it says more about Geelong as I expect they will miss the 8 again.

King is still not that presence in the forward line.

Henry is a real hunter of the ball and just what we need more of.

Darcy should be happy with his debut.

RoMa was huge and is basically the core of our midfield

[cwrcyn]

Steele was very good.

We got nothing from Ross and Crouch and that really hurt us.

If those two guys had just broken even with their opponents we could have won it.

Phillipou is totally flat footed at stoppage and apart from the first 20 minutes was ineffective.

You can't win games with the engine running on one cylinder

[Otiman]

Played it like a practice match. That's our mulligan for the season. We are going to have to be a 5 goal better side than this week to even get close to Collingwood.

[SaintPav]

There is nothing honourable about that loss. We are a s**t team.

You still here.?

Ignore this negative loser

[Lennylegs]

I can't remember seeing Owens in the middle when he wasn't rucking. Lost some crucial centre clearances again. Gotta find a solution somehow.

[B.M]

I agree

Poor effort

[The Fireman]

King is a real talent

[skeptic]

There is nothing honourable about that loss. We are a s**t team.

SS, don’t just keep posting the same thing over and over again. I get you’re peeved with the performance… but you’ve started you’re thread, you’ve made your point

[meher baba]

Look, it was disappointing but…

The game was played on a ground that doesn’t suit us
We were missing Sinclair.
We had four players playing their first games for the club.

We were ok. Lots to build on.

A few impressions

Defence was good as always. Cordy went well. Bonner was the one disappointment: would be likely to miss next week for Sincs.

Our forward line would be better with Caminiti in there. Would probably need to be for Sharman, although Owens was unusually poor tonight.

Our midfield isn’t strong enough and I’m not convinced either Philippou or Owens is the answer. Or Sinclair. I wonder about Stocker: not fit enough, we’ve been told. But he seems to have the tools. We’re in a tough spot as none of Steele, Crouch and Ross are getting any younger.

And I agree that Higgins wasn’t great tonight. But I reckon he’ll hold his spot. Lyon seems to like him.
