Hi all. I’m a cats fan with 5 tickets for tomorrow’s game, $65 per ticket. I’m currently fogged out at Launceston airport and it’s looking unlikely I’ll be able to make the game.

Still waiting on confirmation of a cancellation so I’m looking for expressions of interest to buy the tickets at face value. Please let me know if this might suit you!

That's awful! Good luck either way.

Along with Horse, the only other coach I really admire is Chris Scott

. He'll have studied us closely, perhaps as much as any coach. He has always looked at the long game and he'll be looking at us as his most likely GF opponent.

Geelong have had a few injuries but the're close to full strength and only two games behind us. Scott won't risk anyone who is slighly underdone - like Dangerfield. In '22, he got the oldest most experienced finals hardened team in history to the decider in prime condition and rested. We'd beaten them earlier in the season, but as we limped an inexperienced young team into the GF we were obliterated.

We've been fortunate to have had two byes in the first half season to keep our players fresh. No more. We have a long hard trek to the finals. Player management and depth will become increasingly important. The minor premiership means nothing. We were minor premiers in 2014 and 2016. Hawks were in 2012. Just sayin'

Scotty knows Geelong's premiership window with Danger and Hawkins is almost shut. He'll be hoping for one more really good crack. He probably has enough wins in the first half to be able to rest players and still make top four.

Scotty will be as keen to probe us and test our vulnerabilities as he will be to gain another win, though he'll happily take it if we get too cocky. Personally, I think we'll win this one, we may even win by a lot, but premierships aren't won in June.

Do not let us be close with 5 minutes to go

we won't win

The key to test their old and injured legs is to go fast in the first quarter. Play tempo in the second quarter but go crazy fast in the first.

Have no confidence that we will not be the recipients of the most one sided umpiring seen in the history of the game. What we have seen this weekend has been nothing short of a disgrace. Unless we are 6+ goals up with 15 to go, I will have no confidence.

Pretty sure that’s already happened lol. Dw we will be 6 goals up with 15 to go, and that’s just the first quarter.

Reminder last time we played Geelong at home we kicked 6.18
