Re: Blues V Cats - In game thread - Round 12
Reply #99 –
Brave effort from our lads..not to down on Rowe as Hawkins is a baby Plugger and just too strong for any of our players one on one.
The defense has to be help defense....fill the hole in front of Hawkins and the old Scarlett/Milburn double team tactic on Hawkins when the ball gets down to him.
Stokes and Motlop causing plenty of headaches as I thought they would ....
Gibbs...been very good
Carrazzo on StevieJ been great...Stevie seems very disciplined in not getting frustrated but its taken away some devil from his game.
Jamo at FF was a waste of time and I think Henderson needs to go to CHB and try and block some forward entries as he has been ordinary at FF and isnta strong enough overhead mark to beat Taylor.
Expect Geelong to win but its been a good effort...thye just have a couple of players too many to cover...
After losing Ling they have picked a replacement in Guthrie, tags well and also gets plenty of the ball...Murphy is trying hard but just cant get free..
Menzel has been dissapointing and both Everitt and Docherty cant gte into the game...
Garlett has run well but at times hasnt been hard enough...
Warnock ok in the ruck and doing well...
Casboult.....poor mans Hawkins....great marks but cant convert like his Geelong counterpart who cant miss...
Every time the Cats have been beaten this year these two guys haven't had a sniff, particularly Motlop. Same as Varcoe, absolute front runners and but you have to worry when they start getting kicks because you now Geelong are motoring.
