Keep me posted on tonight's game

[1eyedog]

PLEASE! Can someone(s) please keep me posted at the end of each quarter of tonight's match. Any other info would also be appreciated. I'm currently sitting in the Wonnangatta Valley in Alpine Victoria working through the weekend. We have satellite internet at $10 per minute for emergencies so lucky I type and read fast. I can't get any radio reception. Happy for it to be off the delayed t.v telecast. Thanks.

You could jump on the AFL's gameday and even listen to a radio station online. I'm not at the game tonight, I'll be watching on TV. Because it's delayed I'll be listening to MMM and watching on gameday!

Gilbee is injured, Ablett is running around with no tag racking up posessions.

Geelong 6.4 20
Dogs 3.2 20

Geelong are working harder, pushing both ways and it makes it seem as if they have more players than us.

Gilbee seems OK.

If we have a game plan tonight.. it's hard to deduce what it is?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We're turning the ball over. Timmy Watson just said 3 of Geelong's goals hve come from Dogs turnovers.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Geelong 6.7 43
Dogs 7.2 44

We're playing a lot better.
Johhno 3 goals
Guido 2 goals
Aker 1 goal and 2 goal assists
Hill just kicked us in front

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Geelong 9.8. 62
Dogs 7.3. 45

Harbrow really getting towelled up by Stokes, and has been very sloppy with his composure and disposal.
Stupid mistake by Lake, dropped a sitter led to a goal.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I think we left our football skills in the shed at half time.
10 minutes gone in the 3rd and it's all over.

13.10.88
8.3 51

That's pretty disappointing, I hope it doesn't become a blowout.

Cats 96
Dogs 74

Disappointing when it counts ..just like in the prelim... we've missed 4 very gettable shots on goal.

It's not helping that Geelong just always get the rub of the decisions.

They get longer than everyone else does when tackled to get rid of the ball, whether it be legal or illegal disposal, and they are more likely to get holding the ball paid to them when they tackle a player.
They hold our players no free kick paid.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Higgins struggling with a groin again it looks like.

We need the mother of all last quarters to get over the line.
Can't see it happening, we just can't seem to control the game for long enough periods of time.

we need to kick 7-8 goals to win I reckon and hold Geelong to 3 goals.

Well we've got the 1st goal. Goal to Griff!! 3 goal margin.
C'mon dogs!!

[LostDoggy]

Still missing the shots we need, argh!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Cal Ward has been important in close.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Oh no.
Johnno takes a mark 10 out but on acute angle. clock runs out. Johhno sprays the set shot.
We lose by 2 points.

[LostDoggy]

I am going to cry.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Keep it in perspective Sophie, we ran Geelong off their feet, they were lights out.
If we hadn't played about 20 minutes combined of sh1t footy in the first and 3 quarter we would've had the Cats tonight.
The players now need to say that the last quarter HAS to be the barometer for the rest of the season. They cannot allow themselves to drop from that intensity.
That last quarter intensity and skill level is required 4Qtrs every week.

[LostDoggy]

Yeah, what your saying is true, we put in a really good effort and to only lose to Geelong by two points is a fair effort- its just knowing that it could have been a win. Was that close.

And agree, hopefully we can keep up that 4th skill and pressure level for the rest of the year, particularly September.

Ohhh man, poor Johnno. It always seems to be him with that pressure of the winning goal, doesnt it?

Yep. I really do feel for Johnno. I really hope fans don't blame him for that miss, it would be very unfair.

Thanks Yankee Hotel much appreciated. I was able to follow your posts all night just couldn't post replies for some reason!!!!! Trouble this end me thinks. Sounds like a cracker. Can't believe Johnno was in that position again and missed. Was it a hard shot? I couldn't listen on line for $10 a minute unfortunately.

Yeah harder shot than the North one would have to say. Looked like he rushed it, probably trying to just do it without over thinking it but would have been better served to take a deep breath.

Your welcome 1ed.

You've probably seen by now, Johnno's shot was on a very acute angle, tried a banana and missed.
$10 a minute?? gees that's nasty!
