We know how they will play on Lever at least. Who takes Naughton? Gonna have to be Smith - nobody can match his athleticism. Doggies are still vulnerable down back so we will need a huge effort in the midfield but I think our brand is better suited to finals. Port is just flattering them tonight.

Martin looks done.

That is the game I’m afraid.

This game is close to being done. This how we looked last night. Cats at least had a pulse.

Port haven’t done their homework. They are trying to out attack the best attack.

Doggies look on.

Absolutely irresponsible from the AFL as it was clear they were made aware. Usually a common cold virus is no where near as transmissible as COVID so the risk is low but these things are now magnified in covid times. They should have played with face masks. i still wonder how they get sick when they were in quarantine in the first place. I think in all fairness it does as well. But I keep thinking how we got stiffed last year so there is balance is somewhat restored.

I saw it pop up somewhere - can’t recall where but it was 228. Maybe it was in the 3rd quarter.

An interview up on MFC Facebook page. He will be training as usual. He is ‘super confident’ in his body. he is saying everything you want to hear. No doubt on that front. Hopefully it’s genuine and he’ll be right to go.

We knew the Cats were vulnerable by the game they played last week. I think they stood very little chance due to fitness, age bracket., bye and game plan. Albeit that alone doesn’t account for an 83 point drubbing - 5-6 goals at best. Last night was the perfect storm of the above PLUS the massive confidence, momentum and self belief this group has right now. Execution wise each player understands and played their role almost flawlessly. That is how I explain thr 83 point win. The next game will not be as easy as both Port and the Dogs don’t give us the same head start in game plan, age profile etc. it will all boil down to execution and role play.

Not the right thread I know but I want to put the spotlight on Sparrow. He played a solid game … I wouldn’t trade him out. Let him get to 50 games and reassess.

Yup my thoughts too. Although if we do play Port they may try to stack up tall to exploit it using Dixon, Georgiadies, Marshall and Ladhams. But tbh I’d me more worried with a more balanced lineup that has Fantasia, Gray and Rozee in there.

Yep this is just cherry on top stuff. Big drop coming for them that will last a number of years.

I just hate Geelong more than any other club and am so stoked we smashed em in a PF. How would you feel spending three 1st rounders on Cameron. Suffer in your jocks!

Why oh why was I nervous all week. I should have saved it for another fortnight.

Round 23 meant nothing

Always happens. Every [censored] week

Keep it up boys. Game will be over at half time if we can. Sub May out now. Not worth the risk if he can come back in 2 weeks.

The pressure is immense. Feeling sick AF

150/90

Just had a snooze… aseither result will make it impossible to sleep tonight. Did the Henderson change get confirmed?

im not sure you can. i do think there is a fine involved but it is the typical Geelong tactics to try and fool our team. I dont think Narkle can be anything more than a medi-sub without attracting more fines.

No real surprises.

Updated weather forecast. This hasn't changed all week so we can expect some rain at some stage throughout the game. This would certainly disadvantage the Cats control game.
