Game Day Rd 15 Geelong V Blues Fri 21 Jun 740 pm @ MCG

[cats_09]

While the boss is away the children will play

Welcome to game day, a match in which we go in as underdogs against Carlton for the first time in 20 odd years or so

Match selection last night has left a few scratching their heads, and never know there may be a late change or two that'll see a few more raise an eyebrow or two

And while losing Bruhn the week after signing a contract extension hurts, his replacement, a guy by the name of Patrick Dangerfield seems to go ok - nice to have the captain back

Have at it and enjoy your day folk

Danger back will be good, but Bruhn out just leaves the midfield too thin.

If SDK, Stewart and Blicavs can find some form, that will make a big difference to this side.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Easy dub!

 

[Play it Sam]

Hope all slept on the right side of the bed, and woke with some positive game day thoughts.
Not much point looking forward all day to the game as a loser, albeit a practical loser.
Just about to get in the Shiraz for some Paddy toasts.
No pressure.

Personally, I think the point of the injury list is to add injured players to it.

If not used that way, It's a complete waste of time.

Whether the injury list is or isn't used correctly, who cares? The players are either fit to play or not, putting them on a list isn't going to alter that.

 

[Cattas_21]

If I see Jezza outside our F50 and getting touches at half back again I'm gonna spew

Might be a bad news list , but on the flip side it gives a boost to your hope levels for change.
Quite a lot of posters have a VFL fave knocking at the door, injury is opportunity.

 

[Johanpetro]

So who gives Blitz a chop out in the ruck tonight? Henry or SDK the obvious, but which one? Guessing Kola stays with Curnow, meaning Henry or SDK stays with McKay

Get the bucket ready. We'll be playing one man behind the ball.
Probably Jezza, as we have no say.

Who cares? Certain supporters care.

Sorry if I'm being weird about it.

 

[allrighty]

I have a good vibe about this game. Maybe I am delusional.

Danger is going to go ballistic would be my guess. Frustration at seeing the season go off the rails, and not being able to join the fun and lead the way for many weeks.

Assuming (!) the backline can hold up it's gonna be our little guys who lead the charge IMO. It's them who will get the ball to our biggies.

Blitz and MOC need to wear their opponents like a glove, and I suspect Blitz might run Pit around a bit.

We shall see, but I still have faith. Maybe

So let me get this straight.. Jezza behind the ball - all 17 others forward of the ball? Is that our only choice?

I think the fans care. But maybe it's not important for the fans to be kept in the loop.

I can see the old Sydney flood working for us tonight.

IDK. Maybe Dion knows.

You mean where we flood the ground with Sydney players.

If in tonight's match Jezza produces his Cats career averages versus Carlton, I'm not opposed to a few touches on the defensive side of the ground

Sorry if I'm being weird about it.

There's actually nothing weird about expecting injured players to be placed on an injury list.

 

[STPer18]

DANGER game.

 

[Lana]

DANGER game.

It used to be that every game was a DANGER game, now they only come every once in a while

 

[D BRIDGE]

Yeah I don't know.

Seems to be something people find strange or not required.

I feel like I'm missing something.

 

[Munich]

Not sure what's going to happen tonight.

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Can't see what the hysteria over the ruck is all about to be honest - we always select a side with the opposition in mind.
Blues have the one ruck playing 80% or so on the ball , Blitz is more than capable of that and whist TDK is a better tap Blitz will at least match or beat him in general play - give him the challenge. JH to give him a chop out.
Neale out and OH in also means Jezza will start forward with a licence to roam - forget this wing BS.

Allows us to play an extra runner and will allow us to tag - perhaps MOC to Cripps or Mullin/Bowes to Walsh ?
Massive game - we either go 9:5 or 8:6 , hoping it's the former.

 

[Finknottle]

Not sure what's going to happen tonight.

Me either, the weather is very hard to predict. I think the game will go ahead anyway.
