NON-MFC: Rd 03 2023

[Whispering_Jack 30,242]

Speaking from numerous unfortunate experiences involving Melbourne in the past several decades, let me caution those who are getting excited or carried away by West Coast’s injury woes. 

I know that we have a quality side these days but history tells us that often when teams have their backs to the wall in terms of injuries, they can still be hard to toss. The Saints of Rounds 1 to 3 are a good example and I remember a game against Hawthorn a few years back when they had a long injury list but still managed to give us a flogging. 

I hope we approach the game with a business as usual approach.

Hunt is in good form for Meth Coast

Someone has been on the catnip again. 

[layzie 33,865]

Wow!

Having access to the mindstream of a narcissist and fanatic nuffie from an opposition cheer squad is one of the downsides of social media 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,842]

OMG, that's embarrassing.

On another note, perhaps it could be thay those mad Monday antics of Dangerfield, Hawkins, Selwood and Co are pretty close to reality.

Just for Catman's information, I think the rest of the comp thinks the real conspiracy was that Geelong even won it last year in the first place.

This bloke is ONLY relevent to himself. An over the top dressed up entity of dubious garments. POOR OL PUDDY TAT!

Let’s not forget the loss to the Essendon Top Up team during the Drug Saga.

The views from the new grandstand at Kardinia Park are incredible.

With one eye on the future Geelong release images of their proposed new social club.

I'm telling you now they're tanking.

So who's the No.1 draft pick that next week's grudge match with Hawthorn will battled out for bottom spot?

It would be like 2008 in reverse.  Hawthorn feeling Geelong taking something from the before their time is due.

Great to see Matt Rowell get back to his stellar career start after awful injury setbacks:  "... putting together three brilliant performances. He had 28 disposals to stand almost one-out against Sydney, followed it with 22 against Essendon and then racked up 24, along with game highs in contested possessions (18), clearances (nine) and pressure acts (30) vs Geelong".

That is an unreal set of numbers!  Reckon he will give the Brownlow a bit of a shake this year. 

iirc mid last year someone from the club said GCS had been the hardest game.  It was at Metricon where this year's game will be.  I'm sure we won't take it lightly.

How I would love at the hawks to pull an effort out this week.

I just don't want Geelong to get the number 1 pick.

I hope they can crawl back their way on the ladder and finish 10th.

I'm not a fan of expecting wins by certain margins because of this reason. We may end up getting a routine win but they may push us till the last quarter. Win first, everything else second.

West Coast will try to bring us down to their level. It could be a real scrap for a while 

I would be planning very carefully if i was Goodwin
