Game Day Geelong V North Sun Jul 9 110pm @ GMHBA

[MattTbone]

Does your friend still have the ticket & QR code on their phone?

If so, it might be easier for them to take a screenshot of it and send you the screenshot to use of the QR code

Nah it's not coming up for my friend anymore, like saying that it's been transferred so he can't even screenshot it.

Thanks for your help though!

Last week Cats Failed to Launch
Seized momentum after half time
Held the lead with 4min left
Decided to play safety first
Surrender all momentum
Lucky to escape with a draw

Today offers redemption
Touhy sets Irish games record
Emotions will run high
Cats need percentage boost
Home crowd will demand it
Launch the finals charge

Pictures predict the outcome.

Another fyi for those wanting to stick around

Smith managed & will be back next week - if he was actually dropped, he'd be playing VFL

Menegola needs game time, and if it's not 4 quarters in the seniors then it needs to be 4 quarters in the VFL. The sub should also be an impact player and just not sure that's Menegola - endurance is/was his strength (don't know how much his knee issues of the past 2 seasons has taken out of him), while speed especially over those first few steps has always been a weakness. Just not sure a player in the style of Menegola, and with such little footy under his belt is a good sub choice

I'd be more inclined to give him another couple of weeks in the VFL to see if he can find touch, build to a level of match fitness that can see him play in the seniors and show that he's not being hindered by his knee concerns when backing up over multiple weeks

I did see the 'managed' for Smith, but elected to write 'dropped' because everyone must know he has been playing poorly for much of the season...thus far. Throw in the potential for another individual accolade and he might smarten his act up. Yeah, he gains metres every game, but so does every winger.
I'd totally agree with you Re Menegola, but this game's against Nth at GMHBA, and if he's right to play, I say fire him up.

Was one of best for the first couple of months of the year. The management is genuine

 

[Romeoh1]

Get the win. No injuries. Congrats to tuohy. Go Geelong.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I'll be out today when the game is on, but I expect a solid win from the Catters so I can watch the replay tonight.

I thought Smith was fine until the bye, and at that stage even said that if both him & the club see value in him playing on next year then it wouldn't be a bad option

He's looked off since we've returned from the bye though and this break comes at a good time for him - if it refreshes him and he comes back in his pre-bye form, it'll be a win for both parties

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I can actually imagine an upset brewing here. I think our midfield is absolutely shot this season. If we don't get first hands on it and we have to chase all day, things could boil over.

We absolutelt musy win today and hopefully that lifts the players. Will be in the 8 tonight if we get this done. I also think wet weather suits us we can turn into a defensive slog and make them dump kick in straight lines which we love at gmhba.

I love sam and i want him in the 22 but he needs full games for match fitness i would give him 4 quarters in the vfl tonight and then bring him in for essendon next week. I imagine knevitt will be the sub.

Jesus if we lose this then it really is season over.
Even I think there’s no way we drop this game.

I mean, nobody thought we'd lose Enrights 300th either. I don't think we'll lose, I just think a loss is more likely than a lot of people might think.

I want to see ruthlessness from the first bounce. We just need to bury these kinds of teams early.

 

[51niwstac]

Was one of best for the first couple of months of the year. The management is genuine

I think he was maybe one of the best in the first 3 Rds, that were losses. Maybe good in a couple of others, that were probably also losses.
I know the club are genuinely indicating 'managed', I mean he's old, right?
What I'm really trying to say is, he's been noticeably absent is numerous games of late, and in that time, when he has appeared, his decisions and/or skills are lacking.

Enrights 300th was completely different.
Look at north’s outs.

I know it was. I think you're picking an argument where none exists. Just think the odds don't reflect the actual chances today.

 

[Sire of Claude]

Let's kick the first goal.

 

[catempire]

Maybe I'm just hung over. I do think we win by 5 goals. I'm just expecting some patches of frustration

That’s possible but the talk of an upset is delusional.

 

[moruyatom]

Need to start getting more games into Knevitt, can’t believe he’s not playing today

Assume we will be wearing the indigenous jumper today to avoid an even bigger farce than last year.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm not going that far. More that we face the North equivalent of the version of the Gold Coast that went with Port Adelaide for a half rather than the one that played like they were hung over the week before

So our midfield may have a chance to break even now

 

[foxdog50]

Maybe not, but I think it's wise to invest a few senior games in players who aren't quite ready. It shows them what the highest level is like, gives them something to work on in the magoos. And I think Mullin is one we ought to be investing in, because some genuine dash off half-back is something we've been missing for a while.

Whyte and Hardie say hello...
