Game Day Rd 15 Geelong V Blues Fri 21 Jun 740 pm @ MCG

[cats_09]

Still baffled that Mannagh is not playing tonight + am interested in your opinion please, cats09?

Conway is agile + goes to ground well.

Stanley in our Backline appears as teaching our young backs, who will learn + for their development.

Know nothing of Edwards. Is he now designated as #2 ruck to Conway in future years?

Others can tell you more, but I understand that the thought process is Conway and Edwards as our ruck duo for the next decade plus - as for whom will be #1, sounds like there could be debate about that as Mitch also seems to be highly rated


Conway has shown real good agility for a player of his height, and we know what Rhys has to offer as a forward, but I think naming a FF line of: Conway, Neale & Stanley, with Foster then named on the forward flank is somewhat taking the piss

I'm not sure that Stanley will play on Sunday and expect we'll see a change to the VFL team as it's currently excessively tall up forward

Mademoiselle Minou is French
Remember you may only drink to celebrate after a Cats goal

True

Minou, cagnotte, caisse, minet = kitty

Minou also = pussycat

Minou is too ubiquitous

Whereas, Zouz has a traditional meaning + a contemporary meaning

Dear Mods

Forgive me for all my OT posts + comments, please?

When nervous, I become even sillier. Teachers were exasperated, when reprimanding me, because I'd laugh.

I'm super nervous about tonight's game.

In my defence, cannot blame . . .YET

Can only assure you with



Just jokes

Ok ok let me explain. We are calling the AFL ladder the Bradbury ladder where everyone keeps crashing into each other whilst the swans sail by a few games clear. So a Geelong win helps that cause.

Not only that, there is respect for Geelong and not because you flogged us in 2022 but because you gave us an almighty scare a couple of weeks ago.

Go Catters.

Gotta love the Sydney fans. Big respect to them. 2nd best in the league

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Feels like a season defining game this. Win or at least keep it very competitive and we'll take some confidence into Essendon and good start a run. Lose badly and it will feel like the wheels are off and it's season over.

No , i think Geelong need to get the win tonight

Thoughts and prayers

Might be like last year .
I was calling Cory durdin..turdin.

Carlton fans told me off.
While he kicked it out on the full.

I said mate that was he's 4th touch..
In the 3rd Q.

 

[cats_09]

Is this Scratcher getting an early kick out in the middle?

 

[feelinfeline]

Humphries as emergency? Hopefully a late in

Debutants generally have their family and friends there, so it would be hard to keep it secret if he’s in.

The fact that he’s emergency for the first time is a big positive. Debut can’t be far away.

Excellent points as always cats09

For future #1 ruck, as you are probably very aware, there are various factors: experience from number of games played; development pace; injuries; physical + mental growth; team inclusion; car washing lol

Seems bizarre to load VFL with so many potential rucks, yet none in tonight’s game. Can understand Stanley playing VFL with a niggle. I believe (repeating) he’s there to instruct them. Scotty loves playing players out of position, to learn their craft.

^^^you’re more than likely to be correct about Stanley not playing. Also your explanation that Stanley on injured + emergency lists is a lateral perspective.

Excited to watch VFL game to see how the talks perform.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I'll be at the basketball tonight so unfortunately won't be watching (or there), I REALLY hope they give me a reason to watch the game later tonight....
C'mon Cats, enough of the mediocre, soft af BS and time to turn up.

My sympathies

Probably some photography for his cotton on line

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Over here in the West every single tipster in the paper picked Carlton. Normally reserved for when North play someone semi decent. I think we are being quite easily dismissed as a chance to win tonight against a side we ended up beating quite comfortably last time out. GO CATS.

 

[Heckler]

Cats must bring elite level defensive pressure
Must force the Blue's to rush their disposals
When cats create turnovers they can score fast
They did this successfully against Swans for Q1.5
However Cats must sustain the pressure longer
Cats zone is prone to precision short passing.
Given time and space Blue's forwards will feast
This pressure relies on everyone contributing.
Preventing easy stoppage clearances is a must.
Cat forwards must contest to prevent intercepts.
Holding the ball inside F50 for zone to setup
Cat win is very possible against big headed Blues.

Expecting a late change

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Betting plunge on the Cats, now paying $2.28. Late money is smart money.

Go Catters.

$2.20 now. Someone knows something.

Go Catters

Edit - these are our guys as well... Hair cut time

Take the betting crap elsewhere

 

[cats_09]

I'm going with Rohan as sub again tonight

Just before, O. Henry, Dempsey & Rohan made their way onto the field to start their warm up

Dempsey & Henry look like they're wearing some of Scratchers new gear, while Rohan is on the traditional blue hoody

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

A win puts us into the top 4, even as high as 2nd place. (realistically, probably be 4th end of round)

Lose, and we can drop down to 8th depending on other results.

Need that win.

All I'll say is...hope you've got a warm toilet seat.

James, for years, I’ve begged for a kind BF soul to begin a GoFundMe to install heating in the bathroom.

You’d think with all my goal assists* over the decades, without which, no Premierships won, a loo seat warmer is the least I deserve, right?



Wish it was so warm in my bathroom

[Play it Sam]

$2.20 now. Someone knows something.

Go Catters

Yellow Guernsey?

These are the games that we usually lose.

So delighted you’re posting, missing you
