I suggest you go on ITunes, and download some old episodes of ‘BomberBlitzCast LIVE’

Make a cup of hot cocoa, close your eyes, and listen to the dulcet tones of dingus.
Thank me later…

This is easily the worst advice ever posted to Blitz.

Cats are just going. They managed to sneek over the line thanks to a last quarter surge against norf and Melbourne should have put them away in the 3rd quarter but they kicked appallingly. Anther last quarter surge got them up against the saints. Could just have easily been 2-6 and they’ve actually had a pretty good draw so far. Now face Dogs, port, crows all at the cattery and WC away. They could quite easily lose all those games

To say Geelong lost the game is facile. We played in close at stoppages so we could easily tackle them when they got the ball. We were faster than them and this enabled us to catch them and pressure them in the midfield. On our forward line our pressure was immense.
After watching the replay, I can confidently say we beat them. Fair and square.

If you look at it pragmatically It’s kinda true.

Geelong were pretty much in neutral for most of the night, and then turned it on for 15 m ins and still almost could have easily won the game.

We Definately played well, and if we had a better skilled/decision making side we could have should have beaten them by 50 plus points.
We got alot of it but re watching the game, man there was alot of skill errors that an inform and firing top side like Geelong should be, they’d have killed us for the mistakes we dished up.

I know the usual suspects will come in and crap on about how i’m negative blah blah.

We beat them fair and square yes, we played probably to 70% of our true capacity.
Geelong prolly played at close to 30-40%.

as a small example and going way way way back to 2000 when the dogs beat us, would you say essendon that night played to their fullest potential ?
of course not. does that matter ? no cos we still lost the game.

We won yes, But geelong are in strugglesville.

I don’t see anything negative in your post.

[Dons-All-The-Way]

Players yell at each other, all the time at every level. I’m not wrong.

Good for you.

Enjoy you’re day.

Don’t mean to be a downer, but if you are going to be critical of another poster and their grammar perhaps be careful of your own. It is ‘your’ in that context not you’re.

Ugh

[NQ_Bomber]

Ugh Indeed

[dingus]

Wow.

[Paul_Peos]

I thought we’d all bicker far less after a win…

Nup.

I watched the replay last night and i agree but i came to the conclusion that the kick it to the right boundary side is a clear instruction from the coaches. Goddard took the ball from hurley and you could see hurley tell him to ‘kick to the right’ goddard was initially going to actually look in all directions for a pass. Also it was evident on one occasion we had a free player in a good position and they still ■■■■■■ did that kickout to the far right side. I can’t believe they haven’t figured out its a failed tactic, every time we do it the ball comes straight back in all year, but yeh i think its clearly a direction from the coaches after seeing it the other night.

Wanna go post in a safer thread, like the Saga one?

Just had a look at the Woosha presser after the win.
He virtually did not smile. He looked grim and pensive. Its almost like we didnt win the match.
The continued failure of the midfield to win clearances and thus I50s is clearly still a big worry.

If you were 40pts up at 3Qtime and let the opposition have a chance to win the game, they missed quite a few opportunities, then you’d be pretty unhappy too.

13.4 this year, big Levi.

Are they all from set shots or are a majority rushed snap goals like I saw him do against Collingwood?

Yeah and he kicked 18.18 last year. Tippa has kicked 11.8 so far this year.

If you’re saying to me that Tippa is the worst set shot you’ve EVER SEEN then I can’t take you seriously. Worse than Casboult, Cloke etc?
