We will get a real good gauge of where we are at as a Club in 2019 when we play the Cats. We shouldnt be bashed down there by 5+ goals. A weak Club would.

Imagine if Geelongs Fogarty and Adelaides Fogarty both play

Brad Crouch to Fogarty all night. Except its Geelongs Fog

(Brad has the 5th worst Kick Rating according to Karl Jackson CD guru )

His DE was around 70% in previous years but has dropped down to 60% this year, should see it improve as he gets more confidence in his body (you would think).

Yeah agree. Win this and we are a serious contender. I worry about our goal scoring. We will need goals out of Greenwood, Sloane, Gallucci, BCrouch, M crouch, Milera etc. Missing Lynch and Jenkins hurts but it's important they only come back when 100% so they don't break down before finals.

Just do something wildly different. Same old will yield the same old result. We're not going to do whatever it is longery for hardery on the edge of Antarctica.

If we are remotely competitive over there, we will be serious contenders (especially with missing Lynch and the good Jenkins).

 

[mattymac]

ROB could be the ace in the pack.

I have a ridiculously optimistic feel about this one. As if we as a club have learned a few things this year and I've forgotten everything I know.

 

[BrissyCrow]

IMHO CEY can’t “tag” Kelly. He or Greenwood will probably stand him at the stoppages but once the ball is on the move Kelly will burn him off.

We need to win the stoppages and stop their outside run. Based on the last twenty years, aint gunna happen.

How would Knights go on Kelly?? he has been successful tagging in the past.

 

[CrowBloke]

That album was like 30 years old this week.

Make you feel kinda ... old?

My all-time fave album turns 50 this year --- ABBEY ROAD. Old, old, old ...

 

[CrowBloke]

I watched the 2nd half of the Port vs Geelong game, and have to admit, Port did seem to rattle them, especially their half back players who always seem to have a field day against us.
Lots of high intensity and pressure on the body meant they seemed to lose their flow of easy uncontested possessions from half back to half forward

I saw most of the first half, expected Port to roll over, very surprised that they won.
+16 Clearances +36 contested possessions (!!)
Hope our Coaches have picked that game apart, with emphasis on contested ball/clearances. The Cattery is narrow, right? Clog up the corridor and be veryvery physical with them. Worked for PA *mutter mutter*.

 

[GROTTO]

Just do something wildly different. Same old will yield the same old result. We're not going to do whatever it is longery for hardery on the edge of Antarctica.

If Pyke does try something different and we lose than so be it, I will applaud him for his bravery and courage. But if we have stock standard 5+ goal loss down at that crap hole in Geelong, I will be disappointed but comforted that that will be our last trip to that hell hole this year. A lot like the Eagles going to the SCG in some ways.

 

[CrowBloke]

Compare this to De Boer who is within 1 metre of his opponent for the entire match (including halftime and sitting next to him on the bench).

lol
... which is why de Boer's direct opponents never shower at half-time.

 

[CrowBloke]

We're not going to do whatever it is longery for hardery ...

What?
Did you mean "lingerie for artery"? (makes as much sense )

Rubbish. We lost there by 10+ goals in a premiership year - coached by a guy with plenty of experience at the venue. It doesn't mean anything other than four points. Would be nice if we win, won't be the end of the world if we lose.

 

[FR0GGY]

Out:

In: an actual oval.
How can we in this day an age play on something like this?

 

[conVINCEd]

Lynch struggles to play well first up after an injury layoff; the idea of him returning with a dicey calf down at Cat Park gives me visions of a dozen turnover kicks from the wing to inside the centre square. More math sim at training Chief and you can play v Port.

Out: Jenkins, Douglas
In: Himmelberg, Jones.

 

[conVINCEd]

Douglas lead us for pressure acts against Richmond and was 4th against GWS. I'm assuming that'll keep him in the side for now.

Pressure acts meaning what? Attempts at chasing the opposition player holding the ball. Big whoop.

You aren't going to make changes for the sake of it

EH gets a shot because JJ is injured no way he would otherwise
Jones has had a number of AFL games and shown he isn't ready and needs to develop

The only player in the twos with the team we have ATM in the A's to get a go is a proven performer in Gibbs

 

[Southerntakeover]

I have a ridiculously optimistic feel about this one. As if we as a club have learned a few things this year and I've forgotten everything I know.

This happens every single year. We win a massive two or three games in a row and our fans start to develop a really good feeling and forget about all of the reasons that we're not really that good and start to dream. Then we crush them horribly.

The next two weeks could very well provide that crushing.

They could, but you got to back yourself

 

[Southerntakeover]

They could, but you got to back yourself

It's not myself though. It's a group of people external to me who's likely performance I'm predicting.

I want the club to succeed, I want to win- it's just rarely sensible to get carried away with this club. We've seen this movie plenty of times.

 

[Cap]

So is this stadium named after a drug? I mean what the hell is GMHB?

LOL. Bullsh1t that 97 or 98 has any relevance. lol. Thanks.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Pretty much what happened in round 3. We couldn't be that stupid again, could we?

Its what we've done against Geelong since 2017. The Prelim being the obvious exception.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

The funny thing that’s what I imagine you’d look like

the funnier thing is, when your sidekick hasn't got a response, you jump in.

Reminds me of when josh Carr got his comeupins in a pub carpark from a former richmond captain, his teammates had to protect him.
