Ah… Just another week, another week, to knock another undefeated team off their perch…

 

[My Hat]

Teams whose first loss in 2024 was against Carlton:

Brisbane
Freo
GWS
Geelong?

 

[Michael Jezz]

No Changes. Cincotta comes in if williams does not come up.
Cats have had an easy draw. Brisbane in the slosh and Saints at the cattery, We are their first big test

 

[Benaly28]

The game of the round on at 4:35 on a Saturday. Think they fluffed up there a bit.

I don’t mind that time gets you back home by 8:45 ish

We have to work on the huge number of uncontested marks oppo teams are getting against us.

Yesterday it was off the charts till we started working harder in the 3rd quarter.
It was killing us and so frustrating.

Same V Freo and Crows........Have to play from the first bounce like we did after half time yesterday.

Do that and all will be good come Saturday night.

If Cerra right then a no brainer.....Prob have to be Carroll.

Ditto Gov if right for Young.

And Fog or even Moir (anybody really that is fit) for Orazio.......enough is enough for him I am afraid.

 

[The Bighouse]

More beers after.

Hopefully in time to glory days vs harvester of sorrow.

Perfect for us who travel from regional Vic to watch the games.

Sleep in, travel up for lunch, footy, out for dinner.

Great day (if we win...).

 

[LastGanginTown]

As much as I enjoy watching Chris Cheney light up his Gretsch fretboard, it’s at the expense of being at the biggest game in town.

Ins: Tix to Baggers v Catters
Outs: Red Hot Summer tix

That harvester riff is something else though.

I no longer fret about who’s available or not available for us or the team we are playing. Once again yesterday we showed we can dial it up like not many other teams can. Another great contest against a super strong team in Geelong. I can’t wait to see what our side brings.

 

[Stamos]

One of the SEN blokes spoke to the Club this morning, they expect Williams to be right to play

 

[TENACIOUS]

Hey Geelong

Message this morning

William’s should be fine
Cerra will be close. How he pulls up later in week will determine
McGovern close. History says more unlikely than likely
Cuningham the same

 

[Kruezing]

Who goes with Cameron ? That’s the key matchup imo …

Yes,I get it- good for those who are going. From a ratings point of view, you have a cracking game on streaming only in the afternoon and 2 snoozefests on Friday and Saturday night. Not particularly smart.

Give Cerra ,Gov and Cuningham another week. Bring them fresh against Collingwood

 

[Zlatan]

As the saying goes, don’t get beaten by what you know: we need a solid team plan for Stengle, Close and Myers (not) getting the ball over the top/out the back of the zone.

 

[Juice030103]

Don’t see how they beat us really


We will smash em in clearance and maybe with no Stewart down back I expect our talls to have a big day again


They are a top 4 team tho Geelong… we are just better

They have one of the best systems and one of the most balanced squads in the league.

Plenty of ways they can beat us.

They can match our talls up forward with their tall defenders.

We need to dominate them in the midfield and have our forwards lock the ball in when its down there to beat them.

 

[Bostonian]

The last 5 Coleman medal winners will be playing in this game.

I mean if Blicavs are sdk are considered the match to our talls then our talks must be average


Happy to be proven wrong but I just don’t see them winning

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Be nice if Fog came up, Fas for Fog would be the perfect change.

Saw Fogarty at the game yesterday, he still had some of cast/protection on the wrist. Maybe it is all precautionary these days but didn't seem like he'd be ready for next week.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Suddenly, my weekend is great - the weather is good, the injury list seems manageable & the Cats are certainly less daunting

Bring efforts & intensity and the Cats can chase us at the MCG

 

[Blue_Fusion]

We might really stretch them down back now too with TDK proving he can be a dangerous option up forward...

They might bring in Jeka or COS but both of them are inexperienced and will struggle.

If they move Blicavs down back, that might throw a spanner in their setup.

I think we won't see Cerra till we play the Pies.

 

[myblueroan]

Hey Geelong

Yeah.
We got surfer boys too dudes.
