AFLW 2024 - Round 2 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
In today's climate, the suggestion that the AFL is 'overprotective of the head' just cannot be supported. The AFL won't even exist as a sport in years to come if the game doesn't do absolutely everything to limit concussion events occurring in the future.A bit of extra heat for Bevo before the game:
When was the last time Bulldogs defeated us in Geelong? For some reason I remember we have a great record against them at GMHBA! Looking forward to the contest, Cats by 25pts
He's not incorrectA bit of extra heat for Bevo before the game:
Any Cats members having issues with the mobile membership app and downloading seat tickets for tomorrows game?
I can’t even remember that. Must of forgottenAbsolutely.
First time since 2003.
It just didn't mean anything though as we were missing around 10 players, mostly important ones - nothing to play for, we sent a bunch for surgery. In fact it was a joke that we were winning until our legs ran out in the third quarter.Absolutely.
First time since 2003.
Yep but that was an aberration in terms of our relationship with them - and we had a shocking year- also an outlier.Did they beat us last year?
I agree, suggested Tuohy could be sub, to come on with fresh legsI caught myself swearing at him a few times in the first half, some of his defensive work and kolos dropped intercept were things that they usually lap up.
Does feel like Tuohy is on his last legs. Due a rest soon.
It is amazing how the media jump on anyone performing badly for 1 week or good for one week it is like they have the memory of a Goldfish.They can talk up the Dogs as much as they like
But 2 weeks ago in SA , Port Ade 102 v W/B 54 , I wouldnt call that flash form at all , i watched that game , and they were beyond shocking , pretty similiar to our 2 pathetic finals losses over their to Port
In this thread ive read , oh the Bulldogs on paper will beat us everytime , oh the Bulldogs their midfield is loaded with talent , oh the Bulldogs if they have a change of coach they will win the next 3 flags on their ear
All just baseless nonsense , if Geelong are switched on and fair dinkum they win by 6 goals
Thank you, I thought the game was on Sunday, now I knowI do now, yeah.
Should be an advantage to us, now that Scotty has held his tongue recently. Lots of #FreeKickGeelongA bit of extra heat for Bevo before the game:
Um you realise that weather forecast is for the wrong day?
Last week the Dogs accounted for Carlton and have 2 to top line ins this week. They are very inconsistent. But then, so are the Cats. Both teams need the win so the fully motivated Dogs and Cats should turn up. As you observed earlier, Lobb did well in the backline plugging a big hole for them. (He might not get near it this week!)They can talk up the Dogs as much as they like

Lobb will be interesting as a key defender
When he 1st played with GWS i thought he was going to be a top notch player , but since leaving GWS to say he has been dissappointing is the understatement , and been playing quite a few games in the Bulldogs 2nds etc
But last week watching the 2nd half of Blues v Dogs game , they had him as a key defender , and it might have been the last qtr , opposed to Harry MacKay ( who is very tall ) and Lobb outmarked MacKay in one instance like Harry wasnt even their , it was very impressive , did it easily , maybe as a key defender it might get Lobb to concentrate properly and try properly because he has got talent
So it will be interesting how he goes against Neale - and whoever Geel put at FF
Gun to my head, would be disappointed if we weren't winning this by 4+ goals.
We're starting to roll now, have everything to play for, and the Dogs are the very definition of mediocre.
Plus, they played their GF last week, which will hold us in good stead.
They're just not the club who typically get on big winning streaks, or have back-to-back statement wins. They tend to come from the clouds and then hardly show up the week after.
Scotty will take Bevo to the cleaners like always, and we should kick away after half time is my tip
Agree with all of that. Doesn't change the fact that the scoreboard did show us as being losers at home against them for the first time in forever.It just didn't mean anything though as we were missing around 10 players, mostly important ones - nothing to play for, we sent a bunch for surgery. In fact it was a joke that we were winning until our legs ran out in the third quarter.
