How much are we willing to sacrifice our own "perfect style" in order to win tonight and set ourselves up for Top 2? We're about to find out.

If the midfield breaks even we win. Against Geelong earlier and Hawthorn after the bye, the likes of Douglas, Cameron, Atkins, Sloane, Mackay and Smith had stinkers. Their form must continually rise over the next two months if we're going to win this premiership. We must also have a hard tag on Selwood - it simply must happen.

Get the job done.
 
Will probably turn out to be another Dangerfield show, with cameo appearances from Guthrie. Geelong by 30 points, with Crows crumbling under the pressure and expectation that this is a major game they need to win; finals like atmosphere; against their nemesis.*

*hope I'm wrong!
 
8 am and no game day thread? Biggest game of the year so far. Fire up guys, let's finally beat these campaigners.

Crows by 21

Once again, you have jumped the gun mate...it is quite clearly 7:09 pm Thursday evening.
 
Oh and Crows decide not to treat that one Kitty Kat like he needs a bowl of milk and some cat nip....

We win by 33 :)
 
Too often I've gone in to a Geelong match feeling optimistic. I'm not getting burned again.

Geelong by 54 points

Don't make me come down and kick you in the butt! ;)
 
The below table I've unashamedly stolen from the main board (thanks Ron The Bear). There is a fairly big hint in this analysis as to what you need to do to shut down Geelong No prizes for guessing!

Once again this game will be won or lost in our coaches box, and once again I expect campo to come out and say "good teams don't tag".

Geelong by 27 points.

Not at all confident with this. Reckon Cats will get over the line by a few goals, and we'll all be trying not to vomit hearing about the heroic feats of PD.

If we do lose, I'd like to see some evidence we've actually learnt from previous losses and don't just repeat the same approach when The Blueprint(TM) is applied by a well drilled team.

Cats by 17.
P. Dangerfield 3 Votes.
 
Lynch and Smith to have better games against cats than previous ( Lynchy was good last time in Geelong though)

Selwood tagged out of it

Dangerfield - not sure he plays , if he does prob 50% forward and Kelly takes him. Both have their moments

Sloane to atone

Crows by 7
