Since the start of the season we have watched geelong tease the opposition by letting them get a head start and thinking they are chance of winning then and than crushing their hopes by deciding to play a few good minutes of footy

The question is how many minutes of good footy do geelong have to play to beat hawthorn ? I would say 20 mins of good footy would do it and than we can all sit back and watch the hawthorn supporters have their big cry.

geelong are 100 points better than them, just look at how good geelong are when they actually try its like they are a level above AFL standard.Just imagine what will happen when they play like that for 4 quarters
 
You act like an arse clown but you're one of the few Cats fans that would get this.

I know you guys are confident you have the talent to beat us, but you must be shitting yourself watching us thinking whether you have the heart.

For this reason I can't wait to play you guys, but if we can and are ready I'm confident we will win.

As for toying with opposition sides, both our teams have. I concede we've been in 4th and 5th gear a bit, whilst you guys have been in 2nd, but you are a year ahead of us.

But do your guys have the ticker GC? ;)

Too bad for Essendon that the only time they decided to play 4 consistent quarters this year was against them. If they play like that they are unstoppable.

I'm not sure you do... Because your team is more advanced I haven't seen you have to try as hard as we have. Seeing the engine we have has scared the shit out of me and it will you guys too. The more you push us the harder we'll push back.

I reckon that your guys might get to an intensity that you won't like.

I smell fear. :thumbsu:
 
H2F l understand where you are coming from in that you guys have been trying harder and ultimately playing better at the moment. But it is a double edged sword. Our ability to shift through more gears, l think, includes a gear of September belief including going all the way. Do your guys have the ability to hold their nerve when it really comes down to it. We know we have the ticker, skill and nerve to go all the way. l think what you are talking about is hunger. No doubt you guys would be hungry to win one. BUt l don;t think we will be complacent. Huge desire to go back to back. Who knows. We will find out all in good time.


Of course we are all getting ahead of ourselves. Dogs, crows etc all floating around. Very long way to go. Both teams going along very well and lining up their September challenge.

Well obviously we all agree it's one day at a time and all that shit. But if we end up playing in a final I just think we are capable of playing at a higher intensity than you guys. That may or may not be enough to beat you but I'm loving the ride so am happy to crap on about it :p
 
hadn't heard from you for a while around here, i was hoping you were dead. Anyway you better hope your midfielders are firing coz you have the most rubbish forward line in the league.
 
Fremantle played 3 quarters of good football against Geelong and only lost by 1 point and then the next week they went onto lose against Melbourne.

Just imagine if they had've played 4 quarters of good football. :cool:

Yep ride the ride and fair enough too you guys are flying.

As for the intensity we shall just have to agree to disagree for now ;).

l do see Ottens as absolutely critical to us though. Must have player in our set up and in structural terms close to our most important player (2nd Mooney). Not our best (Gaz) but obviously we have more onballers to draw on. Without Ottens it would be very difficult for us to go all the way.

If we are right it could end up being a monster game :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Hope so, but who knows in footy... :)

Not true, dont get me wrong having ottens will help the cause no doubt but we can still easily go all the way without him.44 hit outs to 15 yesterday .You are right he is perhaps our most important player and we are a 4 goal better side with him playing.

Nope thats BS. Without Ottens your midfield is not good enough to beat us. Ottens makes you potentially our match, but without him we've got too much inside grunt me thinks ...

we are a much physically stronger side than hawthorn.Bartell,ablett,corey,ling and chapman are all big body players.

Lol...

REALITY


Hawks midfield has more inside hardness and grunt ... You guys are more seasoned and mature though no doubt.

But I'm confident that once Corey and Bartel bounce off Sewell, Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell enough times things will work themselves out.

Your guys just don't seem strong enough to me.
