Unofficial Preview Changes v Geelong (Preliminary Final)

[bungalow_bill]

Quick google search gave this - I've never heard of it. Bet Lachie knows it.

Mmm serious stuff this Toradol from a brief googling. If it were me I'm not going near that shit. Taking high doses of Curcumin instead.

 

[McIvor]

Yup

I wouldn’t be surprised if SDK plays.

Scott has regularly made changes in the hour before matches and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s playing mind games in an attempt to disrupt our planning but Fages generally doesn’t get caught up in who plays for the opposition and focuses on ourselves.

In other words; King would say that
Fages is an idiot for such a stance and no doubt will be “brained” as a result.

Doesn’t make that much sense in this instance though as it’s Geelong planning for Joe not the other way around. I’ll be rapt if SDK misses out, Joe on one of Henry/JK/Zuthrie is a great matchup for us. Or maybe Blicavs plays back? Who knows

I have watched a few footy shows over the last couple of days, the only tipster I have seen tip us so far is Eddie McGuire and that was tongue in cheek, he wanted a replay of the 1899 Grand Final.. we won that one, Fitzroy 3-9-27 v South Melbourne 3-8-26.

We have been struggling with our accuracy for 125 years.

 

[SeaOfFire]

Vs Lions?

No Hawkins, no Geelong.

If this Geelong side, is BETTER on the day, than Lions, ON THE DAY....

......nah

Go fluff yaself

In 2022 Swans were the losing Grand Finalist
In 2023 it was us

It's apt for our two clubs to meet in a Granny in 2024.

This lineup looks great.

Hope McKenna is sub again and Answerth is on the ground.
We need Answerth in the early phase of the game to keep Geelong smalls in check.

showtime Saturday Night. I'm feeling it.

 

[GoLions2023]

Settled, well balanced team. Hope the boys are switched on from the first bounce

Feel like Raynor is going to go full beast mode Saturday!

 

[SizeMatters]

I can't see us getting close to the Cats unfortunately. Scott is just a Megamind when it comes to big game day coaching.

We will need to play literally 3 rotating defenders on Jezza. Needs to be a team effort, a few strategic blocks here and there and swap around depending if he wants to roam or not - wouldn't be opposed to having Berry tag him if/when he decides he wants to play wing/centre during play. It's going to be a massive task.

I can't imagine losing this one. I think we win by 27.

I'd take that result. it would be the most stressful frustrating GF on record, but a win's a win!

Named in the side. McKenna just has to play his opponents closer. Same with Zorko. They were among the learnings from the GWS game.

McKenna was named in the side (on field) the last two weeks and sub for the 2 weeks

Geelong are The Damned. Lions are going to … SMASH IT UP!

Really - I hadn’t noticed. Thanks. If I had to choose between McKenna and Answerth to be in the starting lineup, I’d go for Answerth. I’ve been critical of him in the past, but he was awesome against GWS.

Neale is such a warrior anyway, that Marvel game he played a few years back where he was hobbling between contests but still made a big contribution. From memory he picked up two separate injuries in that one. Wish I could remember which game it was.

Vs Carlton in 2021 under the roof. I think after that game he missed 7 or 8 consecutive games. We won all of them.

 

[Grasshopper17]

The goal kicking stats confirm that it isn't a training issue.

Not necessarily. What if we practice the hard ones but not the easy ones?

Do we even practice kicking for goal from 20 metres out directly in front? Or do we think that is too easy and spend all our time kicking the tough shots from 40m out on the boundary? I mean, sure, if you're nailing shots from 40m out on the boundary, of course we should be nailing them from 20m out directly in front. But the mind doesn't work like that. If you haven't practiced it to the extent that you could basically do it in your sleep, you haven't practiced it enough.

 

[Grasshopper17]

No SdK?

He'll play. Standard Geelong carry on.

Potentially Tuohy also.

Anyone else in Brisbane experience a fair bit of smoke yesterday (Thursday)? I went for a 5k run around lunch time and found myself struggling a bit more than usual. And smelt like an incinerator when I got home.

Hopefully it wasn't too bad for the players out at Springfield - would have almost been worthwhile training indoors if it was anything like at West End.
