Nope its purfect....2 soft games at home in a row, followed by a break. They wont know what hit them when they play us at the G!

Gold Coast luring Geelong into a false sense of security, I like it. 

[Clintosaurus 7,885]

Dwayne is the worst commentator. Ever.

Geelong, front runners extraordinaire!

[Lucifers Hero 40,375]

Looks like the Tigers are playing 'Injury-Free' football!

Crows did the same in rnd 23 last year and went into GF with only 2 decent workouts in over a month.  And they played like it in the GF.

The 'Injury-Free' attitude might come back and bite the Tigers.

be good if not only the pies lost they got more injuries as well

I didn't think Geelong would get close to our percentage.  I was wrong.

Right now Geelong's percentage is 129.3 (ours 129.8) with a half to go.

Does the AFL hire police for matches? They're even waiting outside the coaches box to escort the coaches to the ground!

Didn't realise you could hire out a copper.

Geelong are the only team in the AFL with an actual home ground advantage. 

No wonder they make the finals every year.   

[Lucifers Hero 40,375]

Geelong really don't have much to gain from boosting their %.  They can only end at 7th or 8th. 

While there are many finals combos their most probable scenarios: 

1) We win, they play us at the G. 

2) We lose, they travel to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G.

It looks like they are playing hard to avoid facing us in the 1st final

Not sure about that - The G as Home ground certainly helps Tigers, Pies and Hawks.  Hopefully, next year it will become our fortress as well.

[layzie 34,043]

If there was a -140 point line for Geelong I’d get on.

If they finish 7th LH they wouldnt play us if we won and finish 5th?? No??

That's true, thanks.

It looks like no matter what we do their most likely scenarios have them travelling to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G. Is that right?

So they are building % to avoid playing us whether we win or lose?

I think its the hope that if we win we go to 5th and they get pushed down to 8th.
