Game Day Rd 10 Geelong v Gold Coast Thu May16 730pm at TIO

And we have a late change with Tuohy coming in, but taking a stab most weren't thinking of this out - curious why O'Sullivan didn't come in instead

Tuohy at full back against King could be exposed for height and pace but it's good to see Scott throwing the magnets around at least.

Ralph seems one of the few to actually make a rational point in regards to SDK being out & something those who like to pot Geelong seem to conveniently ignore - like seriously, why would you fly a 200cm KPP on a 4/5hr flight if you knew they weren't going to play due to injury...

 

[Strange Cat]

With SDK out I’m not very confident of this one now

 

[Zuta]

Do we think the SDK 'Hammy Awareness' is legit or are we going tactically smaller?

The latter has to be tactics

Absolutely frothing at the mouth to see the big lanky beanstalk brigade running around out there tonight.

Expecting Shannon Neale to give the hostile Darwin crowd a few of these.

WTF is it with that w***er Cox Gif ?

Ironically, wouldn't be surprised if we have more Cats supporters there than Suns fans in Darwin.

('Hostile' Darwin crowd + Mason Cox strut reference were tongue in cheek - clearly I missed the mark with that one)

In all seriousness I'm just super excited to have Neale back in the side. He's got a huge chance to shine tonight with Hawkins and Cameron missing. Scotty was talking to Fox earlier implying we can expect to see a fair bit of him in the back half of this year.

Unironically: I really love the idea of a key forward roaming around the field like a baby giraffe and then celebrating out of skin every time he slots one, as Neale is known to do. I've got this ridiculous picture in my head of him booting six as our spearhead up forward tonight and going bananas in front of the TIO crowd each time. A man can dream

AFL premiership games shouldn’t be played in Darwin. Way too hot/humid for a sport of this kind. Maybe have some pre-season games there if necessary, but not normal season games.

May have had a light run to test conditions
Scott wants a smaller player due to slippery ball.

Henry to King.

Kolo to Lookoshayz.

Blicavs or Conway to drop into the hole all night.

Going early, but get the feelies we'll see a Miers Masterclass tonight, covering the deck and feeding the forwards laceup with pinpoint regularity.

 

[Flander]

Henry to King.

Kolo to Lookoshayz.

Maybe Blicavs playing proper KPD all evening?

Conway + Neale FWD (Hawkins style) + Blicavs splitting the ruck duties.

Someone else to the wing?

This is an option too. Miers, Holmes, O'Connor and Tuohy are all viable wing options. Dempsey on the other wing.

 

[Strange Cat]

First time cats have played at TIO , GC have played there 7 times

I like it. Makes us smaller overall too, which would explain why O'Sullivan wasn't the replacement.

[Play it Sam]

Lukosius was pathetic up forward last week… if he comes out and kicks a bag I’ll be filthy

He kicked a 73m goal on us last year, hope it was a fluke then.

 

[catempire]

Cue bulk melts. Delicious.

again. That was a fun matchup to watch a couple of seasons ago. I think Tyson kicked 4 on him in the first quarter until Andrew was moved off him after quarter time.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No osullivan when king is there is odd. Will be a shorter running team.

 

[Kitcat]

The jumper looks good.

 

[Catsace]

If this post refers to the fact that Geelong has not (and for that matter never) changed its name to an Indigenous one…well, there’s a very good reason for that….demonstrates ignorance on a few matters in fact.

Geelong has been Djillang I'm sure in previous seasons.

Nah that would be "Mannagh isn't playing!!!!!! The MC think he is twice as much of a midfielder as half as you would like to think, and half as played there as he well deserved"

 

[Catsace]

Absolute out of the arse performance that, but hoping Geelong today are much more aware of him.

 

[cats_09]

Is the single game Stengle?
