Preview Cats V Hawks Sat Jul6 435 pm @ KP

[dazbroncos]

And we are back on the winners list.

Got some new faces, some younger ones re-singing and the VFL side is winning again as well with Mannagh kicking 6 and CLohesy again pushing his case

As good as 7-0 was, we arent that good.

As bad as losing the next 6 was, we aren't that bad either.

5th on the ladder is prob about right and we are reloading for the back 13 of the season.

And we belted the Bombers and the old Foe are next.

GRanted, not sure even Sammy played at KP so they'll need google maps to get there

WE should win this but this is THE RIVALRY so they will be up... and we'll be wanting to not let that happen.

Ruck is a mystery
Stanley and Conway hurt..... Reeves is like 24124 cm so its gonna be a thing,

Let see who we pick and CS better have the asbestos undies on of Mannagh cant make it this week - the burn will be real.

GO Catters

What is it with you and the pants?
Agree and I would give Clark a rest and bring in Mannagh. Give him a shot FFS.

The team dynamic changed immensely the other day so let's hope the momentum continues.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Hawks are in good touch - if this was being played anywhere else I think they'd just about go in favorites. Good win for the Cats on the weekend but given Essendon have just one win against top 8 sides it's a little hard to get a read on just how good a win it was.

Conway set for an extended period on the sidelines so the SDK ruck experiment likely to continue. Even if Stanley is fit I'm not sure they'd bring him in.

Sicily looks likely to miss - he's normally a good match-up on Cameron. Hawks small forwards look dangerous and that's normally an area where opposition sides stretch us - will be interesting to see how the coaches approach that.

Cats but not by much.

You could bring in Mannah for Clark or any of the mids playing VFL and it would probably be an improvement. Clark clearly has talent but he's not getting enough disposals and fades in and out of games.

 

[you pick one]

Mitchell played a couple of games early on at KP you are 100% correct though he will have the Hawks primes for this one Daz, Scott need to match that with our boys expecting a ding dong first quarter.

Should we all keep sending these figures to members of the MC, just to ensure the know we kinda want to see #7 running around in the seniors this week

 

[petrolium]

OHenry also due to come back into the side. Will be interesting to see how we structure our forward line this week. Rohan has to stay in after his performance last week, but I don’t know if they can both play in the same team unless OH plays deep and we drop Neale. Hard to find a spot for Mannagh unless they drop Clark but MC seem to always back him in.

I suspect he will be held back for a week, dunno why

 

[STPer18]

How did Duncan pull up? Is he due for a 'manage' after it looked like his whole body was cramping?

Mannagh more than earned his recall.

 

[bulletproof]

Stoppages loom as a huge problem here.

 

[noclashjumpers]

What's the injury deal with Toby?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That time of year again...

I feel like Mannagh for Clark is the most logical out and persisting with Stewart in the middle to accomodate the missing CBAs

Clark shows good signs. But single digit disposals is not good enough for a full time midfielder

 

[foxdog50]

Any news regarding Conway and Stanley?

Any news regarding Conway and Stanley?

Injury updates tend to come out Tuesday afternoon

Otherwise, just wait until the AFL & VFL teams run out on the weekend and see who's not playing

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

cats by 25, will be a contest but we aren’t losing to this mob at home.

 

[Commando]

Can I get in with GA membership and will I get a seat?
Looking forward to finally checking out the revamped KP

 

[calder_daddy]

Is this game a sell out?
I can’t even get 2 tickets

 

[Philhawk]

My thoughts going into this week.

 

[James1970]

Surely Chappy will be asked to speak to the players before the game on the importance of winning this one, especially at home. A lap around the oval wouldn't go astray either to thank the Champ in all he has done for the cause.

In - Mannagh

Id go mannagh for clark but this will also do.

I think henry will be back so it will be interesting to see who makes way for him.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Hawks have won 5 on the trot and they have a great record at Kardinia Park , they waved their scarves so many times after beating the Cats at KP when i actually went to the games , and given Geelongs utterly horrendous performances the last 3 outings at KP - right at the present time i wouldnt call it much of a home ground advantage at all

Mannagh comes in for Clark , and im quite comfortable with Blics and SDK with the ruck duties , so i want an actual forward playing at full forward so Ollie Henry if he is fit he gets the full forward spot and Neale ( the most hyped up trumped up 6ft 8 inch bloke since Ramsay Bogunavich ) he can learn the craft in the 2nds

It was telling how much better our f50 functioned without Hawkins and Henry in it which is ironic seeing they were our two leading goalkickers last season. The lack of defensive pressure those 2 provide and second efforts is killing us. I’d give O.Henry a game in the VFL to let him know that we need more from him than just bobbing up to kick a couple of goals each week.
