Win tonight and we go 2 games clear of the cats. That should be the motivation right there

Does anyone know what driving to Kardinia for a game is like? Trying to decide if I should train it or drive it. I live west side so would get on the train at Footscray. 

Get the train to south Geelong, go to the pub, Barwon Club or sawyers Arms… maybe grab a burger at Kardinia Cafe for a ‘cultural’ experience.

celebrate the win long and hard, fall asleep in someone’s flowerbed  👍

If anyone wants to pass on a spare ticket... living a few blocks away from the ground in enemy territoy but couldn't get a ticket. 

I might ride around on the bike, MCF flag unfurled...

The new Geelong theme song for when they play the Dees:

We are Geelong, we’ve always got the flu
We are Geelong; half the game spent on the loo,
We play the game, the way Maxy wants us to play
At home or far away,

With our pants down below our knees, you don’t give a phark
Down at Kardinia Park.

Worried about a match up of de Koning on Brown, lucky Stewart out but can’t see Brown matching DK in the air

Will be a challenge for DK to hold up their backline without Steward. Perhaps a key part of Brown's role tonight might then need to take DK away from the play and being a decoy. Dees play the game through Fritsch and other forwards.

Brown is good on the lead, not when they dump it on his head.

I really really pray that the umpires don’t feature in this game. I can take a loss but not another +3 goal advantage due to soft frees or 50/50 calls in the f50. Hawkins will no doubt flop for a few so let’s hope the umpires are not influenced by the feral crowd. 

It should be a good contest but I don’t think we can read too much into the result given the time of year and obvious disparity of the grounds dimensions and how that will effect a teams game plan and ball movement.

if umpired well and fairly, Dees by 6 goals.

Wouldn’t worry much about that, Brown hasn’t matched anyone in the the air this year & we’re doing alright

I was gonna PT it there but am now in the city, gonna catch a ride with a friend, meeting her at Parliament station. I’m with another friend whom I just ran into (Geelong supporter) and neither of us has been up the posh end of the city in decades. So we’re like MaryLou and Billy Bob Joe visiting the big smoke for the day. He’s had several ppl call out “go cats!” and “carna catters!!” etc. All’s I’ve got is a very distinguished elderly gentleman stepping out of the Yves St Laurent shop as we passed, and he says, “well, as long as it’s not a resounding defeat, I believe a loss this evening wouldn’t be the end of the world.” 😂

I cast every game onto the tv in Phuket, I reckon it's great. Might depend on how good your internet is though.

I've paid the $20 as a back up. I'm currently having a pre game drink in the Sports Bar and mamasan assures me "all good for you"!

That is the way I watch week in, week out. It is a good coverage and would be worth the 20 bucks.
