Starts early today with a tweet from the ground where the VFL game has started:-

Expect two changes for @CatsInsider today. Gillies and Byrnes not out there. #VFL

Well this is interesting. This hints that one of Scarlett/Lonergan is not right and Kelly may not be ready yet. Do I sense a chance for a victory!?

cant wait

Just had a look on Ticketmaster and it appears more seats have been released.

Few people on Twitter are saying that Selwood is out.... one can dream....

Bugger.

I'd have been there for the Casey match if that were the case.

Bring on the rain. I'm sure Bailey would love his time over again with today's whether. It should minimise any similar damage and even if we don't get over the line I'm expecting a closer game. Last weeks game is showing we can adjust to Neeld's defensive game plan. Even a closer loss will go toward healing the round 19 debacle. What's more I think the Geelong attitude in round 6 will be a lot less ruthless than a round 19 game when gearing up for the finals. We have a lot to gain out of todays game.

Joel Selwood out (Longergan out too, with Bynes and Gilles coming in). SUBS: Guthrie (Cats), Dunn (Dees)

I would love to know our strategy with the sub. Dunn is only good when playing a defensive role. How do you do this with a green vest on? We obviously just use the sub as the 22nd player with no consideration of them having an impact when played.

Why is Dunn the sub? Last time he was the sub he came on (against the Bulldogs I think), we put him in the forward line, and he did nothing at all. Subs should be midfielders to provide pace and run to weary legs. Don't understand what Dunn is going to provide as our fresh player.

He has the flexibility, to play as a tall or through the middle, isnt great in the middle but can. This type of player will be good if we have an injury, but yeah i wouldnt make Dunn my sub either.

A couple of seasons ago, I went to a night game against Geelong at the 'G. It poured all night and the one memory I came away with was that they played as if there wasn't a drop of moisture in the air and we played like a team unused to playing with a wet ball. We were soundly beaten. I hope there's a strong drying wind today or that we've developed a few more wet-weather skilled players.

Selwood "just not right". Translation: being rested.

Why were the two coaches out on the ground for the toss?

LOL this is going to be awesome.

Great start.

Epic fail. Seriously. This is a training drill with only the wind ruining the Cat's party. Scary.

So far only Jones has done anything remotely workmanlike... fortunately the Cats don't have their kicking boots on.

Hm, long day ahead..

Our midfield is pathetic. Can't believe Gysberts got injured again too.

Tapscott is an utter liability right now with his speed. If he isn't fit he shouldn't play.

sigh, thinking about turning it off already

also TAKE A FREAKING FORWARD 50 MARK FOR GODS SAKE

Was that a mark attempt from Bate??

Looking for a 197 point improvement on the last time we played down here.
