Preview 2016 Preliminary Final - Geelong Cats vs Sydney Swans, Friday September 23, MCG.

So Rampe plays on say Hawkins and then has Bartel following him around? Wouldn't have thought so.

Grundy will play on Hawkins as he has in recent years.

We don't play a second tall forward but Stanley/Smith (in particular Stanley) spend a bit of time down there. I would imagine someone like Allir would play on the resting ruck - he played on Mitch Clark earlier this season.

Rampe on Menzel seems the most likely match up to me.

Potentially.

After reading the last few pages, are there any players who can't play tall? With the exception of Cripps, who is already taller than he is.

Make the thread Swans supporters only if you don't want opposition fans discussing the game.

Nothing wrong with opposition fans, but remember, we know more about the team, so stupid match-ups will be derided.

Swans cheer squad will be located in m3 (great southern stand) for those who'd like to know.

Feels like Micky O being cup ambassador is a sign

On that topic who should present the cup for each side?


Dogs- chris grant
Cats- ablett jr could come down
Swans- goodes
Giants- gil mclaughlin

Great to have a laugh to start the day seeing "McLaughlin".

Rampe is #2 in the league for intercept marks so yes, that Bartel match up may actually happen.

Putting our key AA defender on an slow, over-weight, over the hill, bearded wingman might work. We have a similar slow, over the hill, bearded wingman, who will if he makes the fitness test matches up perfectly on slow Jimmy. They can play the match in slow motion together.

Didn't Aliir play on Hawkins last time? Remember him coming over the top superman style for a massive spoil.

He does have the worst moustache in the comp.

How was the date?

Great actually.

Super girl. Really lovely.

No friend zone - sorted that out.

Fact that she is a physique model has zero to do with any extra interest I may show her and is in no way related to why I was happy to catch the game on replay of course.

I simply turn up with a bib on to catch the drool. Don't think she notices.

Mate I know how you feel. With the euphoria of the big win I popped the false teeth back in and polished off a block of Cadbury's chocolate after the game

Anyone else patiently waiting with multiple Ticketek browser windows open for 9am? Looking at the seating chart, it's hard to guarantee a decent seat without lashing out for Category 1, not ideal.

Done, Southern Stand level 2, N14...bring on Friday!

 

[Mister B]

Had great tickets and then kept coming up with an error message. Now won't accept my barcodes. ****ing furious.

 

[Dangas]

the website is a piece of ****!

Ended up with N1 Row C. Cat 3 because after getting decent Cat 4 seats the pathetic website locked out and then kept coming up non available for Cat 4. Was panic stations when it stopped accepting my barcodes too.

Cannot believe after how many years of online ticketing, they still can't get it running properly without it crashing under the pressure. What in the hell is the 6 bucks for sending tickets in a text or printing from home going towards?

 

[McRobie]

Any word re Rohan or McVeigh?
McVeigh no great loss fm but Rohan a huge loss. Macca has been coughing it up a lot in recent times and is getting slower by the game which is hurting his ability to put defensive pressure on.

That's weird I got category 4 seats about 10 minutes before your post. Although I did have to try 6 times!

Got M1, Row O.

Yeah, that was the issue. The website shat itself......again. Wouldn't go through. Wouldn't accept details. Tickets weren't available. Unknown error x5. Finally got the tickets I did. We better win considering I just paid about 80 bucks more than I had planned.

I almost had an incident where I had to pay for tickets I didn't actually order because the screen stuffed up and then it said I had paid for 8 tickets instead of 4. Good thing it timed out a few minutes later.

Coach John Longmire confirms Gary Rohan and Jarrad McVeigh are both a chance to face Geelong on Friday night.

I just bit the bullet and went Cat 1...the price is downright extortion but didn't wanna run the risk of missing out on a decent seat!
