Preview Geelong v Richmond 2020 Grand Final Sat Oct 24 @ Gabba

[foxdog50]

If I can.

Also up at 4:30am for work but can’t see myself getting any rest before the game through nerves.

Milking Cows?

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth is all. Fixed the link in the original, but here it is again. For anyone visually impaired it's footage of some Tigers people kissing the patch of MCG grass on the GABBA:

 

[foxdog50]

Lets all get a good night sleep and rest well.... we have a big day and night ahead of us on barracking hard for the Mighty Cats... See you all tomorrow Go Cats

 

[allrighty]

What about yourself?
Being an older fart here, I do not want a scores level with a minute to go scenario.

Yep I was thinking exactly the same thing today

 

[allrighty]

The final siren blows with Geelong 3 points down and the ball in the hands of Jake Kolodasnijchxzzq after taking a fine mark35 meters from goal out on a slight angle.

Mate now you've made me commit in my mouth. Leaving it on twitter and never mentioning it would have been the best course of action

- JL is a top coach etc etc

However the last question they put to him - was who wins Saturdays GF

And he said Richmond - and they said why - and he said because they are so difficult to play against

They then said to him - well can you elaborate on that - why are Rich so difficult to play against ?

And he said - well as a defender ( at FB ) - quote " It feels like they have 25 players running forward "

That is a very interesting observation by someone who has actually played against them in a key position defensive role

Well that's it then.


Listening to CS is interesting.
He keeps saying things that suggest this challenge is monumental, and that despite all the best plans, it comes down to being able to implement them against this team..
I think we have all thought and known that Richmond is the team to beat.
All we need to know now is, are we the team that can pinch one?
Can we settle and start on the front foot from the first bounce?

 

[OddYears]

Anyone have a juicy multi they want to share?

Sammy socks up Simpson same game multi
Anytime goal scorer
15 or more disposals
Cats head to head
$10.80

 

[STPer18]

Come on, Geelong!

 

[Strange Cat]

We were $2.00 odds back in the 2011 GF

That’s my contribution to the Omen thread lol

 

[Commando]

I wanna see a ditty from the Gazza for Nothing and TK for Free bloke

I was just singing this tonight while making dinner

 

[Grimoz]

Wouldn't have thought that one was a laughing matter

Lighten up was just making a joke, obviously a serious matter

 

[STPer18]

I don't want a classic Grand Final, I want a one-sided snoozefest ala '07. I'm not asking for much.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Not long now until we wipe the smug smiles from the degenrates faces.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Well that's it then.

Thats the most important bit - early goals to either side are crucial

I know you dont rate Caddy - but he is probably Richmonds best set shot for goal - extremely accurate - so i am glad he is not in their side - because anyone who can bob up and kick 2-3 goals in these shortened qtr games is worth their weight in gold

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Go Cats

 

[Vivy]

I've got:
$55 on the cats head2head @$2.05
$10 on Gryan to kick the first @$15
$35 on the cats to win by 40+ @$12

Speculative but I got excited earlier tonight and thought why not

 

[Catman]

The day of destiny is almost upon us. This time tomorrow, let's hope we are celebrating premiership number 10.

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Very nice. Wow. There's some real quality there. I take it you must be a muso?
I just muck around and play sludge lol, (when I was allowed to go to a drummers house) but would love a nice strat.
But not good enough to justify it lol.
Have also heard a guys slide guitar with Lollars in it and it sounded amazing.
Haha, it's never enough.

man not a Muso. Just an expensive habit

 

[Biggy_Boy]

We were $2.00 odds back in the 2011 GF

That’s my contribution to the Omen thread lol

Were we? As I recall we were favourites and every source of historical odds I can find confirms that, with Geelong around 1.80 and Collingwood $2.00.

 

[Vivy]

Not sure if it's already been posted..

Good GF preview show with Pickering, Sean Simpson and Stokesy

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Idont think Geelong opened favourite at the start of GF week

However i can remember that Glen Munsie ( betting agent - but with an NRL background ) saying on Sky Racing Channel saying all the money is for Geel - they beat them by 96 a few weeks ago - thats good form etc - and the money has come for them in a big way

 

[BotsMaster]

I hope a dog pissed on it just moments before

The Front Bar had the Sunrise Cash Cow taking a dump on it last night.
