Geelong vs West Coast Eagles Prelim

[winty]

Interesting Bit of History

West Coast have Never lost a Preliminary Final..Always went on to make the GF

Here's another interesting fact:

Joel Selwood hasn't lost a game against one (or more) of his brothers. (He was out suspended in Round 16, and Troy wasn't playing when the Lions beat us in 2009.)

West coast will win by 23 points , Geelong is overrated at Skilled this year they haven't beaten anyone good there.

Lucky we're playing at the MCG, where we're currently undefeated this season then, isn't it?

 

[Churros]

west coast by 25pts i think we playing better than we did last time we beat them

And Geelong hasn't been playing better?

 

[randomhero24]

Geelong by 59 points.

 

[markjjj]

Cats by 8 goals plus.

WCE played their gf tonight.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

West Coast will be a bit flattened by that game. That was fair dinkum 4 quarters.

WCE needed the luck of Carlton playing crap and them cruising. Didn't get it.

Geelong by a lot at half time. Shut up shop by the last quarter - win by 30-40.

Last time we played, we had to travel across the country on a six day break during the middle of a heavy training load to play an Eagles side coming off the bye with no Hawkins, West, Mackie and Selwood, and only lost by eight points.

If you couldn't beat us by 25 points then, I can't see you beating a rested Geelong side with that quartet on this side of the country by that much now.

What does Skilled have to do with next week? It's being played at the MCG. Where unfortunately for you, we HAVE played quality opposition, and where we have not been beaten once all year.

I think we can

I think we can

Anything to back it up?

 

[davis_756]

WC are going to get absolutely flogged from pillar to post next week, they tried their hardest tonight and that level of football is simply not good enough.

Geelong by 10 goals +

 

[Mr_Plow]

Geelong should win and win comfortably. 5-6 goals.

Still shattered about Menzel though, wanted to see him rip apart this finals series...

 

[BadSeed]

Anything to back it up?

Bump this thread next week?

 

[lewigie]

Anything to back it up?

Because we have Daniel Kerr

 

[The Vok]

You'd think Geelong relatively easy.... unless you were me. West coast by 40

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Congratulations WCE. You have earned the right to be Geelong's gimp next week.

 

[tribulations]

People can bring up stats, recent premierships and all the rest but none of it really bears any relevance.

Fact of the matter is we beat Geelong last time we played and anything can happen in a prelim.

 

[Sammy J]

I expect Geelong to account of us by a good 4-5 goals....but as an Eagles fan, i'm hoping we get over the line.

Go weagles.

Wow, are we playing at Skilled next Sat Arvo, cool

Fact of the matter is that the last time GEE played WCE it was in Perth and Geelong were going through a heavy training load in preparation for september, along with having various outs. Do you reckon the WCE are going to beat a Geelong team in Victoria that is fit and peaking? I reckon Geelong are going to rip the WCE a new one.

There is nothing from tonight's game that suggests otherwise.

The game against Geelong earlier in the year is of no relevance whatsoever

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Geelong would have loved seeing what happened tonight - both sides went a it hammer and tong, and have belted the living suitcase out of one another. There'll be a lot of sore Eagles at the 'G next Friday.

 

[Churros]

Bump this thread next week?

What? I didn't say that we were a sure thing. I just asked if he had anything to back it up. Cool your jets mate .


I can play the cocky card too

 

[Churros]

Because we have Daniel Kerr

Love that guy, and I'm a Cats fan

Congratulations!

Not only do you have excuses for the last loss, you also have an opinion.

Logic says Geelong. But Geelong don't worry me as much as the Blues did from a speed point of view, which is something we struggle with ...

They are tough and have a terrificly even midfield and obviously some handy forwards and they will likely beat us comfortably but if our rucks and Kerr have standout games we aren't without hope ...
