Preview AFL 1st Preliminary Final - Hawthorn v Geelong, MCG, 7:50PM Friday 20 September

[kicksome]

p.s I'm shitting my pants already

 

[WWSD]

I think the fact that both sides meet tonight and then the Vfl sides meet in grand final Sunday, mean we will both be there abouts for awhile. Maybe the rivalry over the last 5 seasons, has just been an appetizer?

Spot on! When you have Schroder for Geelong and Hallahan for Hawthorn running around in the VFL learning the crafts of the game, it gives us suporters great hope that both teams can still compete for a few more years yet. Really looking to the VFL Grand Final on Sunday.

Gee if Pods has to spend an extended period of time in the backline then we are toast.

Hey guys strong rumour is Rivers Out, Brown In

brown isnt an emergency.

 

[Copernicus]

I cracked it. Took the day off. Ive made it all year with sleepless nights and work the next day. This is the big one. Win or lose, im gonna be knackered....

GO Catters

Yeah, I might do that if I weren't a contractor - no PTO for me. On the plus side, the pay's good...

I'm probably better off stressing less anyway

 

[arrow_dactyl]

Is it wrong that i'm more excited for this preliminary final then my own teams?

 

[James1970]

Strong rumor I'll be tipsy by 1.30. Fully loaded by 3...

 

[hawksalltheway]

best of luck Catters! lets hope its another classic....

if we fail to get over the line tonight...i hope you guys can go on and win another one

i know we are supposed to hate each other, but as long as you are not playing the hawks, i have nothing but respect

 

[cats_09]

brown isnt an emergency.

just means a fine for naming someone who wasn't originally listed in the 25.

Alternatively Kersten/West might suddenly fall sick with "illness" and are unable to take their place as an emergency being replace by Brown, but they are better by Sunday.

Ok, so we've heard K-Rock hinting a late change, and a variety of rumours suggesting Hawkins out, Rivers out, Kersten in, Brown in.......

The propoganda department is working overtime

Do we take it to mean that the families of suggested late ins have found twitter and are sending out these rumours in hope that their son may get to play tonight?

 

[Juzzycat]

no way - send pods back bring in kersten

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why on earth would you want to send our other fit tall key forward to the backline and then furthermore bring in a debutant for a prelim? Who do u expect to kick all the goals ? God I'm glad ur not the coach ! No way in the world Kersten is going to play

Our best is better than their best and i truly believe that.

If you recall we were premiership favourites going into this years finals series.

People have short memories.

I think the most important thing is that we kick straight tonight. It has killed us the past month. I am confident we will create enough pressure and enough entries into our forward half it has just been our finishing that has let us down.

 

[kimodgers]

OK….I’ve walked the dog (twice) and I’ve mown the lawn (it didn’t need mowing). And all the clocks seem set on slow speed.


WHEN IS THIS GAME GOING TO START!!!

I disagree.

Could not agree more. Spot on. The obvious difference between now and a month ago has been out scoring conversions. It's not tomahawk, his back has been cactus all year and we have still dominated, it's not chapman, he had played most of the year, it's not Enright, 1 guy doesn't make a team. It's our inaccuracy at scoring. That's it. Win fix that up tonight, we win

Instead of being a hero - where are you getting these rumours from - or are you just making them up

Well, it's a rumour I heard.........

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

I had my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday so this has been a 3-day build up without being able to do jack. Bounce the ball already!

Please don't put Pods back. Another rumour....Buddy to Freo, GWS withdrawn offer......

I'm at work... doing as little as possible and flattening my phone checking BF and Twitter

 

[davey_magik]

pls win

Err.....Kersten is an emergency.
That would suggest they are willing to play him wouldn't it?

 

[Beanstalk]

This pretty much sums up how I feel about tonight's game...
