Preview Rd 22 - Geelong V Saints - Sat Aug 14 2021- 435 pm @ GMHBA

[goyoucatters]

Go easy on them though. At least they're still able to actually fill a stadium which is a decent feat in a non-AFL state.

Now the team is winning plenty of games, sure. It was a ghost town here for some years when they were dross. Plenty of fair weather fans this side of the border.

 

[Turbocat]

Jennings is a smart man but sometimes smart men convince themselves of dumb things

I like listening to him, and he is as strong a CS advocate as there is... and I can see his point but what id suggest is that not just the Kolo jump for joy ... but our selections for the game showed that we were not taking it as do or die , even CS afterwards said as much. For mine we were almost due for a loss, every year in 07, 09,11 we had a late season loss and the tactics used to beat us was probably illuminating. It gives us something to think about and work on.

Man up Stewart. Hold their forwards. etc. all will be harder to do when we have a stronger side. Henry from the backline only made it harder for TS. No Cameron made it harder for TomH...
so while not setting out to lose, I think there were advantages to the result. It could mean little or a lot long term.

Let see what happens this week.

 

[catempire]

Well he better give others some space

He’s our high ball man. Doesn’t suit Hawk or Jezza.

Team Selection: AFL Round 22

Geelong names four big inclusions for clash with St Kilda

www.geelongcats.com.au

 

[catempire]

 

[STPer18]

Those ins + Dangerfield playing more than 5 minutes. Big boy team, now we just need to win and lock away that top four spot.

 

[allrighty]

I think the last 2 weeks we have missed Atkins run and attack on the ball, i think he is in our best 22 easy now

Agree on both points, was thinking the same last night

 

[catempire]

I like listening to him, and he is as strong a CS advocate as their is... and I can see his point but what id suggest is that not just the Kolo jump for joy ... but our selections for the game showed that we were not talking it as do or die , even CS afterwards said as much. For mine we were almost due for a loss, every year in 07, 09,11 we had a late season loss and the tactice used to beat us was probably illuminating. It gives us something to think about and work on.

so while not setting out to lose, I think there were advantages to the result. It could mean little or a lot long term.

Let see what happens this week.

I will be putting a lot of weight on our first quarter against the Saints.

St Kilda’s 1-wood is to bring the heat. We will get that on Saturday. We need to respond to the limp effort of last week.

A strong effort and I will be confident we are in the mix for flag. Another limp effort and I will be writing us off. It might sound dramatic but I can’t see how anything less than a strong response here is acceptable.

 

[gaz love x]

Might have gone Clark over Zuthrie this week even though he wasn't good last week. Tuohy looms as a big loss, he's been very good this season.

 

[allrighty]

FFFFS Greene off (yet Danger not picked) Buddy got off as I predicted, so bet your arse Hawk gets done this week for something inconsequential

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Those ins + Dangerfield playing more than 5 minutes. Big boy team, now we just need to win and lock away that top four spot.

this Is a grand final for st kilda. Will play similar style to GWS last week. We need to be switched on and playing well to put away the points

I'd think Zuth kept his spot as Atkins is still out

I wasn't totally sold on either Clark or Narkle, but if one is to be the sub then I'd lean towards Clark

 

[Vdubs]

FFFFS Greene off (yet Danger not picked) Buddy got off as I predicted, so bet your arse Hawk gets done this week for something inconsequential

Green unsuccessful from what I read.

 

[Cataholic]

FFFFS Greene off (yet Danger not picked) Buddy got off as I predicted, so bet your arse Hawk gets done this week for something inconsequential

Greene didn't get off??

 

[witsend]

We’re yet to lose back to back games this year. Don’t see us starting now. We’ve been pretty brutal on the rebound…

I know what shorts we wore in our premiership years, but I couldn't tell you what shorts we wore last week - just fun to post to see the melts

Huh?

Greene has a 1 week suspension to serve

 

[Vdubs]

Giants learn Toby Greene verdict after last-ditch appeal

The verdict is in.

[Sire of Claude]

Dalhouse and possibly Esava a bit lucky - the latter is not consistent and is not getting much ball. He might have to make way when Rohan returns since Stanley is clearly the better ruckman.

I would have gone Clark over both Guthrie and Holmes. I like Holmes a lot but thought Clark was better last week excepting 'the kick'.

We'll miss Tuohy as he provides dash and is nearly the best kick in the team.

 

[Drunkcat]

YES Holmes stayed in before Clark and Narkle

 

[splashwave]

Might have gone Clark over Zuthrie this week even though he wasn't good last week. Tuohy looms as a big loss, he's been very good this season.

agree on touhy, I think he’s really helped cover the loss of duncan.

White shorts may be one omen, but sadly for me, our flags seem directly related to the broadcaster, channel 10.
