Game Day Brisbane vs Geelong, Thu Jun 24 7:32 pm @ Gabba

[gaz love x]

Looking for another good performance from Menegola tonight. I'm wondering if he might be one to benefit from Duncan being out. Has he been a touch more peripheral this season because of Smith coming in and playing well and was his best performance of the season so far coming in the game where Duncan went down early more than a coincidence? Could be a good chance for him to come into form.

The fix in with umpires 1 and 8 ?

Is that their numbers or their IQ?

 

[Nickoo]

As Fagan said they have 4 games finals experience. Selwood has played about 30 finals. It's a big difference. Lions off a 5 day break coming from Tassie. Cats should win. No excuses!

One thing I hate is the ‘finals experience’ quote. In the end that 2007 team had v.little finals experience compared to say North and look what happened.

Ah, I just looked at the ladder. Yeah, still quite tight and it wouldn't be ideal.

Still, you can't expect to win every game, especially against a Top 4 rival at their home ground. I wouldn't be too worried about a narrow loss tonight - losing either of the next two games would be major alarm bells though.

I reckon a win here increases likelihood of loss following two weeks and vice versa.

Top 2 at stake here with the Dogs traveling to Perth.

Brisbane's form has been shaky the last couple of rounds and I was unimpressed last week against pretty soft opposition. The Cats, on the other hand, have been annealed in a win against the Dogs. I think we will bust open a few cracks tonight and win by at least four goals.

Good luck boys!

yeah Fagan always pumps up the tyres of opposition teams. seems like a motivator type coach.

Really depends what Geelong shows up, i would like the Geelong that destroyed Richmond to turn up every week but its not likely to happen, dont think our guys will be intimidated by them however i can see one or both of Selwood and Hawk doing something stupid in retaliation and getting a week, Selwood especially because Robinson will be out for him at every turn.

I reckon the Lions will go very hard at the man tonight, and especially so at Selwood and Danger.

Matherson and Robinson will go after Joel, there talls could be a worry if they start taking marks

Mathieson's omitted for them I think. Zorko in. The attention won't matter to Joel. He'll be a focused man tonight.

Mathieson might have to do it from the stands,he's an emergency.

Robinson will for sure. It's personal.

But I reckon the rest of them will go after he and Danger as the 'heart' of the Cats to give Scott the middle finger.

He is a bit of a sniper so you never no

Not feeling overly confident about this one, reckon Brisbane will be treating it like a final and think we will be a bit flat after last week.
Hope Hendo has recovered from his injury because he will definitely be needed with Hipwood, Daniher and McStay for us to contend with.
All the hype about Tommy Stew during the week is probably to our detriment as I expect Brisbane to lock down on him.

Perfect if so - just the tonic we need if we're a bit flat after last weeks after the siren win

 

[Strange Cat]

They will target sel the sniping will be unbearable to watch from Robinson and Co…I hope Joel and the team can remain disciplined

 

[Heckler]

Things that worry me.

Home crowd advantage
Umpires will favour the underdogs
Squandering easy shots on goal
Kolo on Charlie Cameron defending against chaos ball entries
Surely the coaches ain't that foolish?

 

[Drunkcat]

We miss the first 2 mins game starts at 7.30 and home and away finishes at 7.32

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Let's not spend and entire game thread complaining about umpires either.

Leave that to the fans of other clubs. We're better than that.

Go Cats.

Status Quo then.

I never complain about umpires just like cricket the umpire never changes his find so not worth worrying about

 

[Sire of Claude]

Daniel Rioli can't get a game at Richmond and has been asked to play half back in the VFL. This is the sort of gutsy selection/coaching that we don't see at Geelong.

Meanwhile half back Luke Foley is in talks with the Eagles; he would be the perfect swap for Clark if that player wants to go.

There are dashing half backs, some of whom were bargain pickups, coming out of the wood work all over the competition; it would be great if we could snag one to replace you know who.

Let's be honest the constant changing of the rules doesn't help them.

Anyway, we need to get on top early.
