Game Day Round 21: Geelong vs Port Adelaide, - Saturday 5 August 7:25pm @ KP

[Cataholic]

I'm OK with meaningless wins

Fair call.

I'll be happy with the 4 points too if they come our way, but the game is going to give us little insight I fear.

 

[PzBlinky]

Wait, how is Port's 3 consecutive losses, including 2 thumpings "good form"?

I didn't say you weren't missing good form either but getting within a whisker of the #1 team and losing to a team who's a) shares your ground and b) has red hot home form suggests it's not quite as dire as say... kicking 3 goals in 3 quarters or football or losing a home game to a bottom 4 side.

Essendon winning will make this game imperative to win. The teams around us wining will make it very difficult.

I think we already know what we have to do for next year. There's nothing worth learning

I’d take a win against the Auskick kids. 4 points is 4 points

I was gonna say if they missed their flight and had to forfeit I wouldn't mind one bit!

Might as well have started playing some of the kids in that case.

 

[Generalissimo]

I have a weird feeling it'll be either a narrow loss again, or a comfortable win.

Coach believes team can find form.
Players know they can play better.
Don't expect big structural changes...
Until wheels fall off and wagon burns.
That would take a lightning strike

 

[cats_09]

Freo have always played well against us-they have won down there not infrequently.

They have played well at KP since last year

Not so much in the years prior to the that

Shame we didn't think about that last week.

Nothing destroys a club faster than not doing absolutely everything you can to win

 

[Play it Sam]

Well I’ve had my win. After threatening all sorts of legal for discriminatory practices by club and council they have finally sorted the disability car park and it’s a dream. Come on Catters go after and persist for what you need!

Each time I've written this year off they've lured me back in. Can they do it one more (last?) time?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Well my son is now a couple of days past his due date, so will be born some time in the next few days.

Mum is a mad power fan so if it's close likely we are driving to a birthing suite.

What should I name my son if we win?

We won't learn anything if we end up beating an emaciated Port.

4 points at this stage of proceedings is perfect, and against a top 4 aspirant, and we are more emaciated

Let's see who is BOG. I love these scenarios.

Not denying the 4 points will be handy

Interesting listening to Krock and their comments so far seem to reflect what's been said around here since Thursday night:

• Team selection is a bit safe (Kingy sounded like he wanted to say meh)
• A bit surprised no Bews
• Talk earlier this season was how Neale likely would have played earlier this season if not for injury, so a little surprising he didn't get a call up
• IF Ratugolea is playing back, they've asked how that looks alongside SDK as they really haven't clicked this year as a defensive pairing, especially noticeable in the draw against Sydney
• Parfitt likely to be sub, but questions if he should have been into the starting 22 to provide another mature body in the midfield. This would likely have also allowed Dangerfield to spend time forward rather than be the one trying to lead the midfield (and mention of a potential back issue for the captain)

Walking to ground, I'm not sure I'll hear much more, but definitely interesting to listen to the 3 guys chatting

You have a say?

I'd have Bews for Bowes every week.

A fit and in form Bews I'd have in the team, but I'm not 100% sure he's either at there moment - even before this knee injury, he didn't look quite right

I'd have both in the team and actually look to push Bowes up into the midfield - feels like we're short on rotations through there and it would be good to have another opinion
