Game Day Rd 20: Geelong vs Fremantle - Saturday 29 July, 1:45pm @ GMHBA

[dazbroncos]

We are now in the win and you are still in phase.

Lose and its out of our hands and with the Blues winning it gets even more congested at the 8.

We have our destiny still in out control - barely but a good win today will keep us in the mix for another week.

Jezza is on 1/2 rat power it seems and Bews is back but only in the VFL

Mostly unchanged team with Rohan in and MOC to the sub.

Time to shine in the winter sun but Freo seems to enjoy playing us and less funishly for us knocking us off as they have of late.

It will be done and won in the MF - get it first and win the centre and clearance battle and the Forwards can do the rest. The quality of the entries will have to improve on last week but Freos back 6 aint like Brisbanes so less intecept marking stars - but still we need to be better getting it in there.

Need to keep Stewy in the D50 and let him do his thing but they will try and stretch us too.

Be first to it and keep the lethargy of weeks past as a memory only please and lets not relive any of that rubbish.

If we are serious and good enough, the next 5 weeks will show it - and it starts now.

GO Catters



ps - yes this is early but im on my to Vegas for work and wanted to get it done

Henry and Rohan should be looking to expose their defence, haven't really got a matchup for either.

 

[you pick one]

These pricks are like a splinter in the foot no value and as annoying as all ****,they have knocked us over the last two outings they are due a good old Kardinia Park flogging but doubtful that happens I can see the Cats putting the cue in the rack after 3/4 time if we are well on top,Tipping a 5 or 6 goal win.

 

[catempire]

They have been playing like arse. Time to give them a good kicking.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Free 4 points.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Dont underestimate freo. Just win geelong.

 

[cats_09]

 

[STPer18]

Just need to keep winning from here.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

It will be done and won in the MF

This x 1000

The difference between the 1st and last quarter last week. It'd be nice to see a bit of this from the get-go:

• Hunting the ball in the clearances instead of chasing opposition players
• Angry Stanley
• Repeat efforts in the middle instead of the single effort then give up (Blicavs guilty of this last week)

Just attack, attack and attack. We're a better team than them. Keep the blowtorch on them and the win will come.

 

[winty]

A game like this would be nice...

 

[Lana]

We simply need our midfield to work, everything else will take care of itself

 

[Chinacats]

Hoping it’s another fill ya boots game at GMHBA, but dockers have been at least competitive for 3 or so quarters in their losses.. hoping they carry Scott off the ground with the W!

 

[BotsMaster]

Time to kick them while they're down.

 

[patience]

Congratulations again to our 2 x premiership coach. We've only missed finals once during his tenure, his winning percentage should be the envy of all other clubs. The club has revolutionised the way veterans are managed, which was a significant factor in our 2022 premiership. He's thoughtful, considered when he speaks and clearly has the players walking beside him.

They should belt Freo today.

 

[fpm84]

Big win for Scotty.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Honestly have to, and should, win by plenty.
Have a tough fortnight coming up and we NEED to hit form today going into those 2.
Cats by 80+

 

[catscratchfever]

Be prepared for pain, Shockers

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Anything other than a 10 goal win would be a disappointment TBH...

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

With two tough games coming up (Port & Pies), this is a must-win game today. Get it done, Cats.

 

[Romeoh1]

Comon cats -need a very solid win.

 

[Generalissimo]

just win farken

[Heckler]

Cats defensive approach against Lions backfired
Chris will revert to all out attacking mode today
Expect a signature six unanswered goal quarter
What the Cats do next will reveal their attitude
Putting cue back in the rack = worrying conceit
Putting Freo onto the rack = unfinished business

Kinda killer cats I wan t to see take the field

 

[thecatattack]

I have 2x Geelong Social Club tickets for sale if anyone wants a couple last minute tickets in a nice area.

Section A33 for those interested. Can get behind the glass into the social club rooms with them too.

What I want to know is, who came up with this crazy idea of playing footy matches on Saturday afternoons?
