we need to make cats defenders ACCOUNTABLE no zoning off taking those marks with no pressure ,so this means us hitting targets going forward start to winning the game
Teams can only go one on one with good effect when they are a physical match or perhaps stronger than opponents, I'm not sure our F50 is a physical match for the Handbaggers D50. It's easy to say blokes like Ollie, Fantasia and Owies need to be accountable, but if they are too easily brushed aside by bigger heavier bodies it's already a lost contest.

Assuming a mostly unchanged line up, I think our best tactic would be to run off the Handbaggers and make good and smart use of the footy off the HBF or through the Mid. With Cottrell, Owies, Acres, Hollands x 2, BigH, Charlie and TDK, we have a well above average aerobic group for that mix of body types.

I started to feel that way midway through the 2022 season and the second half of last season confirmed it for me.

Regardless of what the scoreboard says and how we are playing, we’re now always capable of maintaining our lead or making up a deficit.

At the back of my mind is the proviso that, if we’re not switched on, we could lose to Manangatang 2nds.
If Weiters doesn't get up, that will be a real problem and put a dent in out chances.

As a supporter, I no longer fear any opposition. Our best (even with injuries) is good enough to beat anyone, especially at the G. The Cats will need to be at their best to knock us off, as will we to do the same to them.

The teams Geelong have beaten have won a total of 9 games out 36.

We have played three of bottom four teams and lost to one of them and thats the only win for the year.

But wins against Brisbane and GWS were massive for this group. Beat Fremantle when they were undefeated under suspect circumstances but got the job done.

With the injury I think we are travelling well without all cylinders firing but this is going to be a big test. Would have played three undefeated teams in four games and I don't think it is going to get any easier for us.

Pressure points are weighted. The ones I posted are pressure acts.

Forwards could argue the weighting favours midfielders where it easier to get a tackle.

So the numbers you posted are actual pressure acts and not a weighted calculation.  💡

That makes more sense and I’m not sure why I tried to make it more complicated - senior moment perhaps 🙄
