Agree. Pendles at 100% makes big Difference to the Side.RudeBoy wrote:What a difference it makes having our captain fit. Not only does he play magnificently, but it relieves pressure off Treloar, Sidey and De Goey. However, one of the main reasons for our improved form, imo, has been the significant lift in intensity from our 'second string' midfielders in Crisp, Greenwood and De Goey. Finally, we are demonstrating we have depth of quality in our midfield group. This has been infectious amongst the whole team and we are playing with confidence. Only time will tell, but it may turn out that we should thank Carlton for beating us a few weeks back, as we have been a new team ever since. Maybe it was the wake up call we needed.
y.
for much of the game geelong looked like us in the previous rounds. must have stolen our game plan from those first few rounds. didn't seem to work for them so they should ditch it immediately. i am sure they will learn from it.MightyMagpie wrote:Oh so you are saying the game plan Rounds 1-7 was to move the ball slowly!thompsoc wrote:So the slow movement of the ball for the first 7 weeks was identical to the next 2 weeks.MightyMagpie wrote: Ok, don't let watching the games or listening to every coach/player interview sway you!

The change was to do with effort, execution and confidence/dare of the players.

The Cats should sack Chris Scott.thompsoc wrote:Read the Geelong fan blog on big footy.John Wren wrote:for much of the game geelong looked like us in the previous rounds. must have stolen our game plan from those first few rounds. didn't seem to work for them so they should ditch it immediately. i am sure they will learn from it.MightyMagpie wrote: Oh so you are saying the game plan Rounds 1-7 was to move the ball slowly!

They will tell you what went wrong with them.
But lets us say our game plan was exactly the same as the first month or two.
Of course it is. There would be no more than minor changes as it's impossible to integrate anything else in just a couple of weeks. If you listen to Buckley all year, he's been saying this is how we want to play (fast ball movement etc, like we did at the end of the Richmond game), so it's not a new plan it's the existing one working better with possibly a couple of added tweaks.thompsoc wrote:Read the Geelong fan blog on big footy.John Wren wrote:for much of the game geelong looked like us in the previous rounds. must have stolen our game plan from those first few rounds. didn't seem to work for them so they should ditch it immediately. i am sure they will learn from it.MightyMagpie wrote: Oh so you are saying the game plan Rounds 1-7 was to move the ball slowly!

The same game as the Nicksters who couldn't fit Scott Pendlebury in the top 5 players on the ground.Pies4shaw wrote:I think he was watching the same one as me.

HUH ?? WTF, the kid played his heart out, was terrific, made one mistake, big deal, but gave his all. Dunno what game you were at.

I agree MM. Having a plan and executing it under pressure are two different things, just ask General Custer...MightyMagpie wrote:Oh so you are saying the game plan Rounds 1-7 was to move the ball slowly!thompsoc wrote:So the slow movement of the ball for the first 7 weeks was identical to the next 2 weeks.MightyMagpie wrote: Ok, don't let watching the games or listening to every coach/player interview sway you!

I couldn't believe it either, when he wasn't playing well very early in the year he was according to some a terrible leader. I kept defending now it's just sigh. He was excellent yesterday and last week, I think some just don't see the little things he does or expect him do more.Neil Appleby wrote:The same game as the Nicksters who couldn't fit Scott Pendlebury in the top 5 players on the ground.Pies4shaw wrote:I think he was watching the same one as me.

I'm sure we both had Maynard in our top 22 Collingwood players on the ground.Neil Appleby wrote:The same game as the Nicksters who couldn't fit Scott Pendlebury in the top 5 players on the ground.Pies4shaw wrote:I think he was watching the same one as me. See my previous post.Piesnchess wrote:

Glad you noticed. Some people didn't. There is a reason that the lad gets picked each week, and always has done since his emergence under Malthouse. i have always liked the hobbit, but this year he is in career-best form.sherrife wrote:Just watched the replay, how brilliant were Blair's 5 million 1%ers.
