Its noon.

Is it related to finals?

Im pretty sure the dogs will target Max at every opportunity. He has been a real standout player of late. The odd knee, push, arm chop and extra tackle. But this may lead to Jackson having a big day out. The same with our midfield. They can focus on Oliver but Trac may be the real danger. Also having Viney back in great form will be another problem for the dogs. With JV in great form, I actually think it is our midfield that is the real danger one. Our fwd line is much more dangerous too. Bbb has been quietly improving and may finally kick four or five. Im sure on the big stage Tmac will finally have an impact. He probably isnt percieved as a problem to the opposition. Bbb and Fritta will be their main concern. But if Tmac plays his best circa earlier this year, it could game over. Truth be told he has been a long way from his best but in a grand final it may inspire him to take no prisoners. I would love to see him crash a few packs and get a couple of goals early on. Aside the port game , He has slowed very much in his goal tally the last ten games. So some early confidence would be great. He is certainly a wild card in this game. Fritta is of course our most dominant scorer and hard to man up on but Kozzie our second highest has the wow factor that could cause some serious scoreboard havoc for the dogs. I just hope the umpires dont give us another 11 frees to 25 against count again. Plus if we jump out of the blocks the dogs will struggle as we are a team that has finished strong all year. Aside from Tmac, the ones to watch I reckon will be our smalls up fwd in Nibbler and Spargo. Both to cause problems as well. Our fwd line is working really well getting the ball to ground and locking it in. Because I believe our fwd line is stronger, I also hope conditions are dry. The dogs even though they have done it before have a a statistical disadvantage in coming from outside the top four. Even if it was by the smallest %. The travelling too may take its toll on them. Then again we have two weeks off after having two weeks off not long ago. This is very unusual. I wonder if it will have an impact. Bloody hell. Im really nervous two days away.

I hope so. He was awesome earlier this year. Could be a real smokey in the gf if he can play his best.

Great acknowledgement of the free differential which was amplified by very wet conditions. It had a huge impact. I think with Jv back to his best as well as our wings back in form it is our midfield that people should be recognizing as the dangerous one. I also feel like our fwd structure has finally gelled.

Its funny that so many wrote the dogs off. The spent a lot of time on top of the ladder. They have an awesome midfield and some very good tall fwds. The reality was they had a slump at the end of the h and a. But they are a top team that gets a leg up by being favored more than any club by the umps.

I was thinking exactly the same thing last week that I have never met a dogs supporter.

Last time we played the dogs the free kick count was 25 to 12 on a wet night in their favor. It had a huge impact. Doubt that will happen in a GF. We were surprisingly very accurate for once in our prelim. Since we played the dogs we are a lot more settled up fwd. Im wrapped Jack Viney is in form. He could well be the the x factor.

Also get the feeling Tmac is going to finally kick a few. Gf is the perfect time🤩

Port biggest pretenders ever.

So glad Viney is back.

I wish Id followed my own advice pointed out the dogs were at three dollars twenty for some strange reason

Ahemm. Didnt want to face dogs either but i knew port were pretenders.

Id prefer we play power. The dogs worry me. They are like us.

Tx Jaded.

Why is the gf being played in Perth? Why wasnt it adelaide? Did it need to be neutral?

That's an incredible ammount of frequent flier points for the doggies.

Port and dogs must be worried about our current form.

Lets be honest, its going to be a while for the cats to win a prelim after the number we did on them.

Love the runner getting in on the action.

Best of them all and well worth the read. Tx.

This one critiques each cat's player. Eg. 23. Gary Rohan A disaster. Statless at half-time then subbed out with a hamstring injury in the third term with one kick to his name. Now goalless 12 times in 23 finals, including in five of his past seven across past two seasons. 1 https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/geelong-cats/afl-finals-2021-geelong-cats-player-ratings-vs-melbourne-first-preliminary-final-reviews-stats-best-and-worst-players/news-story/afe35c6fc99f6a37182b61b926458b39

Port massive favorites at $1.20 and dogs 3.17 I get the home advantage but dogs beat them there early in the season by twenty points and only just lost by a couple in their second encounter at Marvel. Still dont think port are that strong a chance. Dogs just missed top four by smallest %. Will be close and not what these odds suggest. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if dogs get up. Port a good team remind me of geelong who rely on wins at their home ground to carry them into the eight each year. Personally i would prefer port in a granny but im not sure it will happen.

Mine kicked in when May limped off with his injury.

GFC Broken in half.
