Game Day Geelong V Essendon Sun Apr 30 1:10pm MCG - definitely a country game

[dazbroncos]

Solid test this .

Bombres could really be anything. They got sone real flashy talent that on a roll is hard to stop.

They can also get over their skis and drop their bundle.

We are getting better at consistent form and will need 4 quarters of it to see this one out.

A few changes for us too and maybe a managed or 2 still to come.

Back on the G we will require our best ti stay on top. Getting to 4-3 is important here

Go Catters

Is that like Hombres? You've been in the US too long.

Cats for me by 30 points. Too strong, too many good players on all lines.

No injuries please, and Darcy Parish more longing to comeback home to the farm.

 

[BORIS332]

Bit of a danger game. Bombers lost to saints and pies, but also beat the dees. They’ve got four good ins this week too. If we can get on top in the midfield we’ll have too much firepower up forward.

No love for Essington either he's in for a shite day at the office.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Should be a ripper of a game!
Cats by 19.

 

[you pick one]

Bring this and we win easily.

 

[allrighty]

Nice pickup

 

[patience]

Going to this game. Go Cats.

Going to this game. Go Cats.

And with the changed train situation from the Geelong region for another few days - buses between Waurn Ponds & Wyndham Vale, I've already left home for a bus

With the potential 2 hour trip to get to Melbourne, but the limited GA seating, I decided to get up earlier than normal

‘Bombres‘ played well against the wobblers last week. Will have to play well to knock them off.
A good test at the G after some wish washy opponents and an easy home deck kill.

A family member is driving us to the car park at Southern Cross and then we’ll get the train. I also have bombres in laws. They are sitting elsewhere in the ground.

 

[bulletproof]

Could see Cameron drifting up through middle more with us being a touch light in the midfield.

Go have a day Ollie Henry.

 

[Chinacats]

If cats want to play finals then need to knock off teams above us on the ladder! Let’s see some intent!

Big Ollie vibes about it. Undersized defence means he gets a real scrapper on him.

Go have a day Ollie Henry.

Or he gets 30 touches and kicks 8.

 

[Cattery]

Real test this, Bombers have been good, a win over the Demons and more then matched it with the Pies for three quarters last week.
Win and we're a real possibility of going 6/3, which would have us better placed then at the same stage last year before we started our sixteen game winning streak.

Think we'll win but it won't be a walk in the park as some on here have suggested, I'll just be happy with the four points, no injuries and Cameron taking back the lead in the Coleman medal race.

Would like to have seen Ceglar playing, do not like De Koning rucking, even for short periods, kids way too valuable to risk.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

This will be the toughest game the Cats have faced for a few weeks. The lads have been showing some of the form that saw them be successful last year but the true test is always against a side that has been playing well and is above you on the ladder. Win this and we'll know the Cats are back. Lose this and the doubts on the side will linger. The Cats are playing for credibility today (and a position in the eight).

Go Cats.

Yeah the Cats really should be aiming to score more points than the opposition and at the same time try to stop the opposition scoring more points than them. Great insight.

 

[Heckler]

Beaded Up before the Bombs Away begins
Ironically it is better if Bombers bomb it long
Cats have an impenetrable air defence setup
Defeats due to corridor Buster counter attacks
Cats are fully Fragged to handle any Bogey
Rather Ceglar suited up and Blitz as Wingman
Allow SDK to settle in defence and gain form
Bews may be rusty potential high Drift Factor
Air Boss Scott will ensure mission plan executed
Create a Furball in the middle, Bounce and Blow
JC to launch his trademark SAM's to Tomcat
Maintain Angle of Attack direct at goal for 4Q
Expect an early call of- Alpha Mike Foxtrot
Bravo Zulu: Collect 4 points and in the Eight.



LEGEND
Air Boss - Officer responsible for all aspects of Air operations
Alpha Mike Foxtrot - "AMF". Phonetics for "Adios Mother F#cker”
Angle of Attack - Too great an angle of attack will cause the wing to stall,
Bandit - Dogfight adversary positively identified as a bad guy
Beaded Up - Worried or excited
Bogey - Unidentified and potentially hostile aircraft
Bounce and Blow – Touch and Go
Bravo Zulu – A task well performed
Buster - Direction to go as fast as possible
Drift Factor - If you have a high one, you aren't reliable
Fragged - Loaded weapons-wise according to the mission
Furball - A confused aerial engagement with many combatants
SAM - Surface-to-air missile.
Wingman - Second aircraft/pilot backup
