Placeholder for preview -

Need to win this clearly to cement Top 4 - and perhaps Top 2 if it goes well..

Pies are of course the bogey side to us...

GO Catters

 

[maryjames]

Now that Motlop is back to his best I'd expect the cats by 50.

Most underrated Geelong player for this years finals.

He could be the difference he is that good.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Need to replace zuth and simpson with a couple of more hardened afl bodies.

Duncan and Ruggles for Zuthrie and Simpson.

Buzza for Stanley (only if injured).

I would be tempted to rest parsons if we had less injuries but that's not an option right now.

 

[Down at K Park]

We will probably lose this. We are their bunnies just like the tuggers are ours.

With top 2 ours if we win the next 2 hopefully that's the motivation we need to get this done.

 

[GeelongFTW]

We've beaten them as recently as 2015.

Collingwood has had our measure when we were better equipped than now, so I wouldn't be so upbeat.

When Mots is going he's sublime. When he's off, he's really off. If his body of work was anything like today he'd have a contract by now. Sadly it isn't which is why Cookie suggested on the ABC today we are open to a trade.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Cats should be on the up now looking towards a deep finals campaign and the Pies looking to mad Monday.
In saying that this is a danger game, they tend to have our measure...
Will either be a typical game vs the Pies where they get ahead easily in the first and we never really get back into it, or a close Geelong win.

 

[Baby Duck]

Have to win this if only to shake these flogs off our back. Their wins against us are probably the sole reason Buckley still has a job.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Zuthrie, Simpson, Parfitt, Parsons. 1.2 and 32 touches combined, this is the group that gradually needs to be removed from the side with returning players in the next few weeks.

i would keep parfit. needs a rest though.

Will happen when our injured players return.

 

[Lana]

IN: Selwood, Duncan, Hawkins, Blicavs, ****.

I don't think the **** will fit.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Will happen when our injured players return.

The concerning part is we seem to lose someone weekly. Today it's Stanley, so waiting with bated breath as to who's unfortunate next Saturday...

I don't think the **** will fit.

that's bad and you should feel bad

 

[Pure_Ownage]

150th game for scooter this one also.

Replacing stanley with buzza will be a loss as stanley was ok today.

But we will get duncan back this week, ruggles and lang are available now and we should get blicavs cockatoo and maybe joel back for the first week of the finals.

 

[Cataholic]

I don't think the **** will fit.

I've never heard that complaint

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Menzel was pretty average today hopefully he improves with a couple more games heading into the finals

 

[Spazz Cat]

Out. Zuthrie, Simpson,
In. Rug, Duncan
Eventually hopefully, Selwood, Blitz ,Cocky & Hawkins in for Stanley, Parsons, Parfitt Thurlow/Kolo.
Not a bad team.
Good to get a game in at the G. Need the practice

Kolo stays for mine if he plays as he did today

 

[Spazz Cat]

Kolo stays for mine if he plays as he did today

Absolutely without a doubt. But if he plays like he has most other games this year he needs to go out.

 

[Down at K Park]

Apparently had a fitness test pre-game and was close to being left out. Doubt he will play next week. His knees are stuffed.

 

[Cataholic]

Agreed.

So both think he's on a tipping point?
