Preview Geelong -v- Richmond - Rd13 Sunday 17 June @MCG

[patience]

Damn Straight. I can admit it.

We are just trying to decided whether to go or not.

 

[jezza1435]

True. We love the wet though. Been the best wet weather team since 2007 IMO.

Yes, I do recall, however i reckon most of those wet weather specialists are gone, I do recall seeing Danger dominate back in the Crow's days in the slop.

 

[Turbocat]

Hope Buzza out; we could try Henry as a tallish mobile forward.

Not for mine we shouldn't. Just let him play the role he knows.. don't start messing with young players too much.

The last Geelong "home" game (ignoring finals) against Richmond at the MCG was Rnd 7 2014 and the crowd attendance that day was 34,377 - if today is another low drawing crowd then surely the club would have a case that hosting Richmond at the MCG costs the club money as the fans aren't interested in turning up and that the match should be in Geelong - the fuss from there fans is more about knowing they struggle to win away from the MCG rather than not actually being able to get tickets for the match

 

[BotsMaster]

Have fun today to anyone going, will only be 30,000 there.
Miserable day for it

Will be going. It should be no different to the Tigers game at the G in 2008.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Yep. Don’t mind this weather for us.
And Fogger to begin his training to do a jimmy Bartel in the wet!

I reckon Parfitt will thrive in the wet. It’s no coincidence he wears the number 3 either.

 

[Spazz Cat]

We are just trying to decided whether to go or not.

I still actually might go. Gonna sit around and ponder it for a couple of hours.
If I didn't have to work I'd just smuggle a bottle of Jimmy in and would be all good.

 

[patience]

Bugger it. Not going. No direct train to the ground. If it was at KP that would be another story.

 

[MacStradbroke]

I’ve heard Leigh Matthews repeatedly say Selwood is the best wet weather footballer he’s seen. I agree with Leigh. And that Tommy is a gun at the caper too. Big chance today.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Yeah I was gonna head to work straight after the game, but getting wet all day then not going home and getting a shower doesn't sound too appealing.

Just as an aside, I wouldn't take kids or women to any game involving Richmond. They have no respect for either and they are utter filth.

 

[darrenmorgan]

I’m 3kms from the G and it is TEAMING

 

[FredLeDeux]

Hail came down strong just before 5am - hopefully that's the end of that for today though

Not quite, out here in Greensborough, we had it 90 seconds ago.

Nail. Head.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Some are gone but Danger, Selwood, Gazza all awesome in the wet. + Tommy.
Haven't seen much of Parfitt or Stewart in the rain but I've got a feeling they'll go allright.

For those going to the game, the Weather Bureau says
Sun protection not recommended.

 

[Spazz Cat]

I agree. I did not take the kids to the final cause I knew they'd be feral no matter which way the result went.
Waiting at the station with kids amongst that shit. F*k That.

 

[Pack Specialist]

Care to elaborate? I have it the other way with us potentially being too tall and slow?

Selwood + Danger + Ablett + Hawkins + Duncan

Ablett would be the most skilled player in the comp even in the snow.

Despite being vertically challenged, the Tigers are neither hard nor fast.

 

[calder_daddy]

Will be going. It should be no different to the Tigers game at the G in 2008.

I’ll take a 30 point win, Riewoldt not getting a shot at goal again

 

[calder_daddy]

Rubbish ... they're a lot bigger than us
Check the profiles pound for pound we'll cop it in the contests.

I was talking about height, your talking muscle mass.
That they do have us covered

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I’ve heard Leigh Matthews repeatedly say Selwood is the best wet weather footballer he’s seen. I agree with Leigh. And that Tommy is a gun at the caper too. Big chance today.

Jimmy Bartel was the best wet weather footballer I've seen.

 

[Turbocat]

For those going to the game today..id say you can get ready for another example of "home game not"...
Not sure its a great idea to give this sort of petrol on the fire stuff out to opposition ..

You can call them the Tigers’ secret weapon, although they’re not really very secret, but the point is at last year’s qualifying final I’d never felt anything like what I did running on to the MCG that night.

It was supposedly a neutral game with no home side but the chorus of booing which rung out as Geelong entered the arena was certainly a shock to the system.

There were more than 95,000 inside the stadium that night but it didn’t feel like there were many Cats fans.

It was astonishing.

Jimmy Bartel was the best wet weather footballer I've seen.

If it was a wet day at a KP game you'd pencil Jimmy in for BOG before the ball was even bounced.
