GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong



Recommended Posts

It is such a great feeling now, going to any game knowing we have a good chance of winning. The Premiership in 2021 changed everything - I am generally much more relaxed about footy in general. 

I can't see the Cats attack being as potent as it has the last 7 rounds. Our defensive organisation rarely allows teams more than 80 points, often under 65. 

Sparrow to run with Myers.

Petty to run with Stewart.

Kozzie, Chandler & Fritsch will be our major goal scorers.

Geelong's midfield looks under-powered with Dangerfield injured and Parfitt and O'Connor "managed". I see both of them are named as emergencies, I expect at least one to be a late in.

Seem to be managing their players well like they did in their 2022 flag year.

Need a collective lift in the midfield and by Petty. Negating Stewart and Cameron will go a long way to beating them. 

Personally, Cats are one of my most disliked teams so all the sweeter beating them, so get it done Dees 😉😁 Gawn, drop another 5 on them please 🙏

How good is to have a game vs Geelong NOT in Geelong (first time since R4, 2021) 

I'm interested to see how they play Petracca today. O'Connor not being named would suggest they aren't going to have anyone sit on him, but after the relative success Brisbane & Richmond had I'm curious to see what they have up their sleeve. Surely they wont let him run around doing as he pleases?

But what will be our excuse then?

Ours, not the teams.

This could be either that or the game that drives the stake into the Demons heart.

Than next week..

Almost 50 /50..losing to every genuine contender.

Yeah it's a tough draw and a big fortnight.

If you want to know how the game will go, i’ll fill you in:

we will play tough strong footy. blood sweat and tears will slowly move the ball fwd through stoppages and eventually get a goal after 10 minutes of pressure

Cats will then get a goal on the rebound in 15 seconds

and repeat

🖐️🖐️🖐️RED AND BLUE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT
 
Rather than ski we're all here at the 'G.
.
You can have all your Hawk'ins and keep your JC squawk'ins
 
Meanwhile we'll just let the ball do all the tawk'ins.
 
 
Tracc and Jack will smack the Cats around the packs.
 
Take it to the Max, centre, forward or backs, Gawn is giving them stax
 
 And Clarry's ridiculous parry even delighted Prince Harry.
 
 
JVR leaps like a demented Roo escaped from the zoo.
 
Fritter's outrageous banana kick is really a charmer.
 
Kozzie will o' the wisp kicks true thru the sticks for another six.

 

Mr Ed it is said on a another thread is at his best without the rest.
 
Disco's red and blue brisk is ever so slightly risque.
 
Oops! Rick and May's domestic has just gone public.
 
 
If it's more about loyalty rather royalty, Caleb's already a celeb.
 
Rivers dismissive shimmy will gives them the shivers.
 
Listen hear Bud we'll back in Judd and the boys
 
 to beat the rest of the crud from the Kardinia Park mud.

I have thought long and hard about this game. I will be there tonight, only a good first quarter will see us get the chocolates. Even then I don't see our forward line kicking a winning score. Sadly cats by 3 goals.

On last week’s first half perhaps, not on the second half.

We’ve come a long way in the last 10 years when we can label a 43 point win as insipid.

The cats have managed to get rid of their older players and have young group coming through.  Getting Henry from the pies was a good get.

i do not think we will win, 3 goals I think, 

what I want to see is us making changes to combat their strengths and trying positional moves to create run for us chaos for them.

tonights game means little in the season results. Get some severe learnings. 
and apply it correctly and with heat in September. Don’t give away too much game plan tonight.

i would like a good hard start in the first quarter!

Go Dee’s

Can't stand Geelong, their ridiculous jumper and dunghole stadium. A repeat of 2021 would make my month. Go Dees.

Want to see a statement tonight, Have had plenty of of time to look at them last week , get the matchups right, set the press. 2022 too banged up, 2023 too many forwards injured, Swans game too hot Brisbane game too tired, Tigers first half terrible. No more reasons/excuses get the job done Demons.

Well this is a big one. 

I'm not sure how good the Scats are but ... neither am I certain how good we are. Consequently, your good old Uncle Bitter is sallying forth from The Manor tonight to find an answer.

I believe we will win this game on the strength of our superb defenders.

Dawkins has been quiet of late and , you would think due to fire, but if he escapes any flailing elbows, May will be too good.

There's been speculation about who takes care of Cameron but I reckon it has to be Tmac. He has the tank to run with him and the body work and nous to counter Cameron's expected advantage in agility.

Our mids will win ( Danger out helps ) and surely Viney is due for a big bone crunching impact game.

Forwards ??? Hopefully Petty finally finds some form and some goals. I'm not sure about Disco yet but if he can snag a couple in this setting we will know a lot more. Hopefully one, or ideally both of the above get into the game early as it will take some heat off Fritta and allow him to do what he does best.  He is our key forward.

Kozzie, as always, will have the defenders on edge and a couple of goals from the mids will also be welcome.

PS. Rohan is a prime goose.

Dees by 19 !!!

( A red and blue leather party follows at Romsey )

Two words: replacement [censored] buses. Yep, it’s our train line’s lucky weekend. 🤬

Allow plenty of extra time and a truckload of patience, coz you’re gonna need it. Same for going home afterwards.

Heads up, @Rab D Nesbitt!

I’m not even slightly worried about tonight. We’ll kick ‘em into the middle of next week! My irrepressible confidence is partly attributed to Goody’s presser (5%) but largely because I’m delusional (95%).

GO YOU MIGHTY [censored] DEES!

Enjoy the game everyone. Would be amazing to take a big scalp but I'm more focused on the performance and how the gameplan stacks up more than the result today. It's an exciting time.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
