Been a lot of positive articles about the Dees this week, havenโ€™t seen as many on the Cats.

I just hope we can back it up, sometimes wish we were major underdogs, less pressure and expectation.

You obviously don't live down here on The Bellarine/Surfcoast, Geelong surrounds.. it's called the Geelong Advertiser... and its daily...all.year.round.

No donโ€™t see the Geel Adv Danelska, I can only imagine! I hate Geelong too.

Just articles like Oliver saying we donโ€™t fear the Cats, Max saying potentially if we get through for Bernie, Frost hoping to curb Hawkins etc.ย 2 matches ago were potentially staring at 9th, letโ€™s just get through the Elimination final before anything else, just think it gives opposition ammunition.

It doesn't... neither for them, nor for us.(they're not out on the ground thinking of all those articles and how arrogant this team is... actually, if they are doing that...great - it means they're not focused on task).

Although ย its a similar theme here -ย much like the training camp for us -ย post hoc analysis by supporters/commentators - always tries to make sense of these things, and links them together to draw easy solutions.ย

Happy with the Dangerfield ruck incident last time then?

Didnt like it but it wasย crafty and more of an issue for the umpires I reckon.ย 

Danger is all about player safety and has some good ideas about the future of the game , cant fault the bloke really , other than ย hair detailing during games .ย

Given our relative youth and inexperience, I am concerned Geelong may "Go the Biff" early to unsettle us. How will Melbourne respond to the challenge?

Hey, Jackaub, my hope is that they have already covered this off, and everyone knows that the best response is on the scoreboard.ย  Going the biff often has the reverse effect - it might unsettle for a few minutes, but it shows real game weakness and if it came, I would have the boys feed off it as a weakness of character.ย  There are few on the Cats list that would scare me, but VDB, Viney, Jetta, Lewis, Jones, Harmes would be serious 'first responders'.ย  We should look after our own, feed off it, and smash them on the scoreboard.ย  We dont want to lose anyone moving forward.

We undid them in the VFL by ditching the Mitch and running Smith and others against the ruckman to give better numbers at the contest.ย  May they might use Biclavs in the same role?ย  If they set up that way, I would put max forward for large chunks and ruck Weids against him.

I think you can relax on that score jackaub. There isnโ€™t a playerย in this team who wonโ€™t go when itโ€™s their turn. I think they would actually welcome a bit of argy bargy.ย 

Remember Spargo in his debutย game pushing Jones aside so he could get stuck into the 300 gamer in Goddard? These days weย donโ€™t recruitย blokes who take backwards steps.

I dont mind if they did that , but I reckon we would generate enough inside 50โ€™s for them to play Biclavs loose down back .ย 

7 v 6 would be interesting.

The 2000 GF was a debacle in this regard. Daniher all giggly during the week. Sheedy mean and down to business. A lot of back slapping in the Melbourne rooms unlike Ess where they were boxing to get revved up. He brought back that thug Dean Wallis - he and Long should have been sent off.

The world is different today and I agree they might try that stuff but I have the feeling we are better prepared for it. It starts at the contest and we are a lot better than them at it.

I hope we smash them.

Abbott goes ok. I hope Gawn does not underestimate him, yet I hope it gives him confidence to totally dominate.

No doubt Blicavs will help out and he is quite handy around stoppages

I hate this mob, seriously I do,

All of them and the coach.

I want to beat them so bad

It's doing my head in.

I wish we were playing anyone but them.

Am I the only one, what is it about this team.

I didnt mind the 2007 version of the Cats:ย Enright, Bartel, Rooke etc.ย  quality players with some humility

but it is Scott's team now and the arrogance is evident.ย  would love to smash them off the park on Friday!!

Gawn is an avid watcher and scholar of all ruckmen. He won't take anyone lightly, especially going into a final.

Abbott has nothing to lose, everyone expects Max to dominate and I am sure the Cats are planning to rove to his taps. It's more important how we keep our tactics fresh at every bounce, to ensure the Cats mids don't dine out on Max's tap dominance.ย

For Geelong, despite

Maxyย in the ruck

Jumps and taps majesticallyย 

Clarry sprints away.

I think the wait and stress has made me slightly deranged.ย

I have been having some banter with a Cats coterie member (and former board member), who btwย was more than happy when bomber left. Anyway has no confidence in them winning, said he hopes we win the flag.

Personally I'd rather build up Selwood/Danger/Ablett/Hawkins, it makes us look better when we win. And I ave so many Geelong supporting mates (and a few cousins from the maternalย side of the family), can't hate them, jealous yes, but they are not Essendon/Collingwood/Adelaide/WCE/Hawks.ย ย ย ย 

Even Scott who I view as a hypocrite of the highest order, I still respect, he has amazing record coaching that compares well (except his finals record which is approaching Hardwick 2013-2016 levelsย :D)

But -ย  if they do have blokes targeting Max's back orย legs (Mitchell style) Lewis has my full permission to run through and KO any snipers.

Half of my family is Geelong too and they're all saying we'll win. Interesting. Is it the fall of an empire?

I think we'd back Max to dominate the ruck post. Of course, if he's being completely neutralised then you'd look at trying some different things, but otherwise we should stay the course.

You mean Josh Kelly who feigned being asleep during the singing of their song after beating us one day? That team was arrogant as well.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
