Cats to win

 

[My Tilly]

Close game as I expect us to rest a few older bodies.

Cats by 15 points.

 

[JustaBattler]

Geelong are flying and Norths need to lift off - but maybe not this week.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Media suddenly jumped on the Geelong bandwagon big time. Might be best to drop this and screw the lid firmly back on

 

[Makeshift Park]

Fun fact.

Geelong enjoys the second longest current head-to-head winning streak, and you'll never guess which team its against.

That's right, North hasn't been beaten the Cats since 2015.

Only Port Power's record against GC has lasted on longer.

 

[PCORF]

Geelong by 35.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

I believe Dangerfield's set to be back in this week and he'll be important. I don't want LDU, McKercher, Powell and Wardlaw racking up Liberatore/Bontempelli numbers against us.

Just need to stop the Roos young brigade running riot in the middle and off half back and we should have too much strength and experience at either end to get the job done at home.

 

[TheKanga]

Could we have had a more difficult draw?

Thankfully after Geelong beat us we can finally play teams closer to our level.

 

[Zevon]

Admittedly the result seems nearly a foregone conclusion but I hope the young Roos can give a good account of themselves

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Could we have had a more difficult draw?

Thankfully after Geelong beat us we can finally play teams closer to our level.

Yeah, its a rough start for a side that finished way behind almost everyone, but we have to play all these sides at least once anyway.

 

[My Tilly]

I believe Dangerfield's set to be back in this week and he'll be important. I don't want LDU, McKercher, Powell and Wardlaw racking up Liberatore/Bontempelli numbers against us.

The opposition midfield are often racking up big numbers but it matters little in the end.
We have players flying under the radar. Everyone playing their role perfectly. There's no reliance on any indivdual to do it alone.

I think Stengle, Miers and Cameron run amok and slot 12 between them in this one.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Cats to give a rest to a couple. Danger back?

North struggling at the moment.

Cats by 40+

 

[apollo_creed]

Close game as I expect us to rest a few older bodies.

Cats by 15 points.

There’s always one fan of the team who is 100% likely to win who tries to play it down. At Marvel maybe North could get within 4 or 5 goals but Hawkins and Cameron against the North defence in Geelong? ‘Close game’ is your summation

 

[Disco Dew]

Close game as I expect us to rest a few older bodies.

Cats by 15 points.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Will be more one sided than the dream team v Angola

Far be it for any Cats supporter to openly declare, "Cats by 100+"

I genuinely think North will be competitive for a half or 3/4 but Cats will run away with a reasonable but unspectacular win

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Will be more one sided than the dream team v Angola

Aussie Boomers took Angola a little too easy back in the day in a world champs and got rolled. Hopefully a little closer this match

 

[Zevon]

Teams are up

 

[Mr Meow]

9 goal win is probably par.

I'm expecting 8 and to be just slightly disappointed.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Honestly Dr Hood seems a great person and a refreshing and stabilising influence at nmfc.

I expect she is greatly admired within her Club.

Dr Hood has had a tough week and the Club had a tough time in Adelaide. I expect a real punch above their weight response.

I don’t expect nmfc to win but the margin could be in single figures. That in itself is not a win for the gipper but prolly the next best thing.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Cats by 60

5-0 will be a great start for them. Should lock them in finals.

I think their young kids will have another great game.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Well, what do you know? Following the Sarurday afternoon games, Geelong was one point away from being the only remaining undefeated team, heading into tomorrow's game.

The heavily favoured undefeated teams in both earlier games today failed to convert a huge advantage in scoring shots on the scoreboard.

No easy games. Feel free to roll your eyes at that, if you must.

Delighted for Rhys Stanley

to reach game 200. I think he's (often unfairly) been a whipping boy for Geelong, particularly from his arrival in 2015 until the premiership season in 2022 (where I thought he was terrific all year). It's a bit of a thankless role, being a long-term first choice ruck whose never really at an AA level and never won a flag. A fantastic servant and clearly very highly regarded internally.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Happy Geelong go top of the ladder day.

19.19.133 to 6.9.45 will do it
