Gold Coast to Win?

To illustrate what might happen, here is how the Cats have performed in their first away matches against the ‘new’ post-1986 teams:

Brisbane Bears – Round 15, 1987 at Carrara – Brisbane (12th) 18.11 v Geelong (6th) 10.18 – the Bears never let Geelong have a look in – a convincing result
West Coast Eagles – Round 15, 1988 at Subiaco – West Coast (6th) 18.18 v Geelong (7th) 16.10 – the Eagles stormed home after being led at the final change
Adelaide Crows – Round 23, 1992 at Football Park – Adelaide (9th) 24.25 v Geelong (1st) 11.12 – the premiership favourite was completely swamped by a side with no chance of making the finals
Fremantle Dockers – Round 4, 1995 at the WACA – Fremantle (11th) 12.22 v Geelong (5th) 10.15 – only the Dockers’ wasteful conversion saved this one from being a shellacking
Port Adelaide – Round 3, 1997 at Football Park – Port Adelaide (15th) 18.21 v Geelong (11th) 14.6 – late consolation goals to the Cats took some gloss off the Power’s inaugural AFL victory

Summary – Based on Geelong’s background, punters should get on the Suns immediately! And back them by a healthy margin. The Cats delight in extending liberal hospitality to new arrivals – 0-5 by an average margin of 42 points.

Cool story and all, but its not even 1% relevant.

Would love to see the Coasters get up, but if theres one team that could better Essendons effort against them it will be Geelong. If Geelong are fired up and in form it could get all sorts of nasty.
