Coming over with the family for Friday.
We’ll probably get there about 1&1/2 hours before the game. Hoping to catch the reserve game (lol). Planning to scan in.

What do people think the crowd will be?

MCC predicting 73k - theyre usually pretty close, if it rains will be less

I read today rain expected

 

[Power Play]

Do we think the rain will help us, or disadvantage us?

 

[Bazzar]

Looks like the screwdriver is out, our job has just got easier and Grigger will have a higher disp game. Big win for us.

 

[Hoos]

Do we think the rain will help us, or disadvantage us?

It makes no difference.

That's about as useful as **** on a bull. These mooted rule changes are a flogging joke. Starting positions at centre bounces. Someone please explain the use of that in managing congestion. And an 18m goal square. FFS. Leave the bloody game alone. Corporate AFL beaurocrats trying to justify their existance. Just remember that except for a huge backlash of stakeholders and supporters these games were going to be held IN SEASON by AFL teams bringing the integrity of the entire competition into question. Hocking is a flog and Gil isn't much better. RFC have every right to be furious that our game has been bumped off fta and Ch7 are the biggest flogs of all for being behind all this rubbish. It's their shit fixturing, highlighting garbage teams playing garbage football and putting it in prime time for everyone to see. Sure, put up enough of those crap games that we usually don't see and lots of people are going to think the game needs change.

Screw you Ch7. Screw you Hocking. Screw you Gil. Most particularly, screw you Malcolm Blight on the game.

Give us our game back!

Tiges by a close one.

These flogs in the media and AFL house calling for change should be sacked, If they don't love the game then why are they working in it

Cats training in MCG dimmenssions.

A bit late for that I'd say.

They do it every week in the lead up to an MCG game, it didn't help them in last year's qualifying final.

You can replicate the dimensions of a ground, but you can't replicate the wind patterns, surface texture, crowd atmosphere, depth of pockets, wings etc.

It's why their leg up by getting to play home games at their training ground is so big, along with the fact that no other clubs, besides Gold Coast, get to play home games at their training ground. Geelong know this is true, it's why they want all their home finals played at Kardinia Park.

Everyone trying to rev up Geelong on AFL 360.

 

[smasha]

Which umpires has Gil raced in for the match against us?

If they beat us Friday night they're going to put in a official request to play a home game if its against an interstate side as reported on the radio tonight

 

[smasha]

A final at putski park is a different ball game with half a stadium full of passionate Tiger fans.

They will pushing it next year lol,already have got the AFL to change the game.

 

[exceptional design]

Interesting point after re-watching Sat's game and not sure if it has been mentioned.
At the start of the last qtr, the mids were man on man for at least the 1st 4 bounces. It wasn't like that earlier.
We got the clearance each time.
Not sure if it was a Tigers or Pies change, but it worked for us.

 

[Nop returns]

Early on the week I was ah shit we’re going to struggle, BUT we all know if both sides were at full tilt we are a 5 or 6 goals better side especially on our dung heap. Even with the outs I have become more positive as the week goes on. I reckon we can fall in by 3 or 4 goals. My only fear is Dangerfield having 1 out of the box and managing to keep the ball out of the seats in the 4th row. Geelong are pumped everyone wants us to fail. Tigers by 20

 

[Tiges1229]

If Cats play anything like they did against Melbourne they will lose by 12 goals .

Who’s the screw driver ?

 

[Bazzar]

Who’s the screw driver ?

Stanley

 

[Tiges1229]

Stanley

Injured is he ? What about Stewart wasn’t he injured to ?

 

[4tune8]

Who’s the screw driver ?

My guess....Stanley

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Our coaches are playing pinnies while Geelol are up all night stressing and training on mcg sized grounds.

Best.

 

[Bazzar]

Injured is he ? What about Stewart wasn’t he injured to ?

Stewart definitely out, Stanley only a remote possibility. Two massive outs.

What happened to Keira Knightley MK II?
