Is that scarlo in your photo champ?

 

[frggr]

Those days are gone, in having small players on the ground if it's raining... the ground doesn't get muddy as it did 30 years ago, and the talls these days are athletic

Ball spends a lot more time on the ground when it's wet and tall blokes good below the knees are a rarity.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Stanley will be a late in

Yep i reckon too.

Unfortunately the Dogs have four of them (including English).

 

[dazbroncos]

If its wet and a slog fest.... Clohesy for in close pressure @123% all game long will win hearts of Cats fans

Go Catters

 

[dazbroncos]

Pretty sure Ollie Henry was injured back then - some kind of leg injury if my memory serves me correctly.

hammy awareness I think it was.... and they went very conservative

Go Catters

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Going to the game this weekend, should be good considering the last 22 hrs of my life were absolute hell

I’m feeling better today. Looking onwards and upwards, got the number 5 put on my guernsey yesterday and a 32 badge!

 

[dazbroncos]

Jeka appears to have the talent buy lacks intensity
Suspect he loses concentration at times
Sounds like same problem as Quinton Narkle

watching him play closely he is big and reads it well and and has skills but yes the intensity suffers and when the pressure rises he makes the issue someone else's issue... and its been a trait all year long.. dont see it changing.

When its going his way... he's very successful.

GO Catters

Neale, Cameron, and SDK are pretty good at ground level.

Let it rain

 

[Seeds]

Hoping the Dogs do load up with Ugle-Hagan, Darcy, Lobb, Naughton and English if these conditions do eventuate....

Um you realise that weather forecast is for the wrong day?

 

[foxdog50]

It does tho nullify their contested marking.

Yeah they not mark it as good, but most big men still can control the ball as good as small people..

 

[BIGANT]

Any footage or dialogue of ff David King picking the doggies on Saturday night ?
Always bemused and interested when he puts his opinion up.

I do now, yeah.

Watched it last night, but don't have the footage, sorry.

Seemed confident in picking the Dogs too.

He reckons 'they can get it done'.

Btw, he accused Geelong of low-balling Stengle too.

Edit: his reasoning for being so confident with the Dogs is that 'their midfield is stacked'.

 

[Commando]

Has King really ever gotten over the 94 PF?
Its been 30 years.. let it go mate

It was on first crack last night if you've got kayo. He was talking up their midfield, their form and thought their tall forwards might get a hold of us.

He didn't make a big thing of it on first crack preview, just backed the dogs midfield. He did do a spiel about how Riley West was a good choice to take Stewart because he can start on ball and follow him forward

Thing is, if the ball is on the ground a lot who cares if you’re tall

Rhylee West would be murdered by Stewart.

He does love to milk a free though,

 

[goyoucatters]

In: Knevitt
Out: Clark

No Stanley or other tall defender

Given Rhys is again on the emergency list, there's no way you can rule out his inclusion until final teams are submitted on the day.

Still, I hope they back in the structure from recent weeks for this game.

Unfortunately homicide is frowned upon on field. Likely to get off at tribunal due to error of law though if recent mro proceedings are a guide

 

[bulletproof]

The Bulldogs defence looks extremely dodgy. Hopefully Cameron does better than 3 goals if they give up 10 shots to him like they did to Curnow last week.

A bit of extra heat for Bevo before the game:
