[Doro]

Keeping the ball out of Stewart's hands with quicker entries has been the key to beating the Cats recently. Hope we follow suit and don't use the long bomb to Charlie too much.

 

[Kruezing]

Have I mentioned how much I loathe Geelong …

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I don’t think we’ve hit our straps over 4 qts in any game this year.
I’m tipping tonight’s the night and we’ll obliterate them.
Us by 40+++

Reserves playing Southport tomorrow? Anyone seen a team ? At least any emergencies can play.

I guess this is a rhetorical question, but can someone please explain to me HTF Fantasia continues to get picked ? Id rather see Motlop picked and played into form if we are going with minimal contributions…

 

[Wickzki]

Got here plenty early and sitting outside gate 5 with my boy. .

So excited. First MCG game in almosf a xecade.

Up the Baggers.

 

[xDQ82x]

No late changes. Team will be as named.

Fantasia has a bigger engine. Covers more ground and is required to help in defence. Suits Voss game plan better.

I don't agree but have been told by quite a few people who speak to those that matter that he does a lot of the little things that don't show up on the stat sheet and that he lightens some of the load on Fogarty.

Any ideas on who the sub will be?

Sorry no was a quick chat before he went to the ground.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Didn’t we play this lot a month ago??

Anyhoo, very excited, people.

Lamb is currently undergoing a garlicky, peppery, lemony basting for those interested.

Much beer will be consumed, silliness will ensue & we’ll all have a cracker of a night.

Baggers by 114.

Fully expecting we’ll get up and you’ll hear that thundering MCG roar that gives me goosebumps every time! Have a great night!

Didn't know Jed was into that sorta thing!

 

[JJBagger]

Sorry no was a quick chat before he went to the ground.

No worries. Thanks brother

Not sure why? Plenty of other teams to loathe more.

It's been answered quite a few time but Fantasia is more playing the Cottrell high half forward role. Motlop doesn't have the tank to play that role. You could make an argument that Motlop should be playing instead of Durdin as they are like for like but that's a different story.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Me personally I have plenty of loathing to go around.

Not playing as a small forward.

I hope people aren’t underestimating the cats.

Not a matter of underestimating them. Last time we played them they played at their absolute best, we were undermanned and not. playing at the level we are now. All things considered this is a game that we should win.


I think it's more a case of our own supporters underestimating our team.

All those things are fantastic if you can get your hands to the ball

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Anyone think we are a chance tonight?

Poor Jed. What did he do to you?

Enjoy your night.
