GFC v EFC rd16 2024 Match Day Thread: Through the Hoops with Hepps

People bag 2mp for never taking a contest mark, but what about draper?

We are a top four side i reckon.

This sort of weather can throw up a different result but we have class

He’s cost us so far

No matter what coach we have they cant seem to fix it

Decent start.

Who fixed Harry Jones marking?

Making an early sub tonight would be worth it to play shorter (assuming it’s still wet).

Our disposal
Coming out of the back half needs to improve and then we need not kick it to the spare.

Can’t work how they have a spare in defense then waltz in down field

2 of their goals have been from essendon turnovers and our players just wandering forward and leaving loose players in geelong forward half.

it’s good when it works, easy shots at goal when it doesn’t

Chill out everyone

First quarter = :white_check_mark:

In the last 3 games against Geelong our Quarter Time deficits have been 46, 27 & 34 points.

We are well and truly in the game.

Umps should not be calling “Time back on” and then “Clear out.” If they are it means there was a player in the protected area stopping the attacker from playing on while time was counting down.

Also, I know we’re losing a lot of the stats, but this is nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be, especially as we’re missing our two best wet-weather specialists: Parish and Hobbs.

Been disappointed with our inability to stop them moving the ball off HB. Have not been well set up behind the ball.

Enjoyable quarter

Geelong are on, playing all their footy through their premiership stars.

And we are still ahead

Hind 0 touches. Who is on Stewart when he goes back?

Our sub is a giant too. Ffs we knew it would be wet.
