Preview Rd 1 Geelong V StKilda Sat 16th Mar 2024 730pm @ GMHBA

[UnitedWarrior93]

I’m quietly confident we’ll get the win but the Saints won’t be pushovers, I think they’ll give it a red hot go, they’ll play finals again this year imo.

Cats by 16pts

No Bowes in the team or emergency list suggests rumours of an injury might be true?

 

[Vivy]

Parfitt makes the emergencies. Mullin gets the emergency spot over Bews.

No Bowes?

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I hate round 1 teams because even though I'm a nutter of a fan and know all the players, I get dyslexic reading the team and can't figure out who is missing and whose a "new" in.
So instead, like a toddler, I'll just melt about something trivial to take the gloss off my own ignorance or incompetence.

 

[Hamingja]

So pretty much as expected after Bowes injury with Mannagh in instead

Bowes with a calf ‘complaint’ per the Geelong website.

No Bowes?

nvm

"Jack Bowes was unavailable for Round 1 selection due to a calf complaint, with the club to have a better idea of his availability moving forward next week."

 

[winty]

Tanner Bruhn playing his 50th game on Saturday night too. Good luck to the lad.

 

[catempire]

Excited about Mannagh. It's the silver lining to early season unavailability.

 

[supahoops]

This I like, O’Connor included, his best is easily good enough. Loving Bruhn and Clark in the guts. Waiting for the round we field an All-Geelong midfield six of Conway Bruhn Clark Dangerfield Atkins and Knevitt, when was the last time that would’ve occurred..?

 

[catempire]

Very confident in saying if we can't comfortably beat that side we will not be featuring this year.

I wish he could start rather than be the sub

 

[juzcat]

Seems like a slow team.
Ball tearing pace: Danger, Holmes, Dempsey?
Decent Pace: Close, Miers, Rhys, Mannagh
Plodders: The rest

Basically as expected once Bowes was out. Interestingly they said Bowes was injured but didn't say anything about Bews.

Big challenge for the midfield with no Guthrie or Bowes.

Calf complaint not ideal. Isn’t that what kept him out last year?

Good test for Bruhn, Clark, Holmes etc

 

[D BRIDGE]

Bowes calf cost him early last year.

deja vu.

 

[Catastrophe!]

Not happy about this with Bowes, but extremely happy for Mannagh. Hopefully it's just a niggle for Bowes and only a couple of weeks.

Also suggests that he was Best 23, given they mentioned it when teams dropped.

Bews not making emergencies is at least a step in the right direction.

Good mail by both CHAWKTS and Play it Sam - well done guys.

Bring on Round 1!

 

[D BRIDGE]

At least we can now confirm that Bews is bigtime on the outs.

Mullin even named EMG ahead of him.

 

[D BRIDGE]

So Mannagh or Touhy for sub.

I really, really, really hope we don’t debut Mannagh as a sub and he gets to speed some time around the middle.

I think Scott has spoken about not liking that in the past… but still debuted Clark as one last year.

The Henrys and Stengle also pretty quick, no?
