Geelong will win easily tonight I feel.

 

[Generalissimo]

Finlayson is a big out for them.

 

[cats_09]

When did Tuohy cut his hair?

Too many of the guys look similar from a distance

 

[The_Todd07]

I know Blitz and Hawk are big outs for us and our last few weeks have been shocking but Port are ripe for the picking and there's no excuses if we can't get it done tonight

7 changes from last week. We're cactus lol. Good night to find some form.

SDK with the across the body snap for goal from the Frederick pocket...

Cameron kicking beautifully in the warm up.

 

[CHAWKTS]

Cats could be favourites next week too! Then play teams we normally beat and go into finals on 4 game winning streak.

Back to back baby!!

(Sorry just thought I would change the tone)

[cats_09]

Unless I can't count, I swear I only got to 22 players warming up - though I did see Rohan out there which is good

Stanley has been warming up away from the rest of the group and doing a lot of run throughs - not sure if it's a last minute fitness test

And Jack H was out there for a bit but left the track early, chatted with staff on the sidelines before heading down to the rooms about 5 minutes before anyone else - not sure if that's good in that he felt ready to go, or bad

Well my son is now a couple of days past his due date, so will be born some time in the next few days.

Mum is a mad power fan so if it's close likely we are driving to a birthing suite.

What should I name my son if we win?

"Oliver Gryan" Cat To The Future!

Oliver Henry to kick 4-goals and;

Gryan Miers to have 29-disposals, 3-goal assists, 7 score involvements and a goal.

Easy.

All the best to you guys, mate!

 

[Klink]

I think Jezza might go bananas this week. Just a feeling. I'm feeling half a dozen might be on the cards.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Finlayson is a big out bc it forcea marshall to ruck and visinteni isnt ready. Helps negate the blicavs loss somewhat.

The team announcement on Thursday night may not have been too surprising, but for many it was disappointing - 2022 was seemingly the year of trusting form, regardless of the players age or games experience. Meanwhile, this season we haven't been as willing to trust the form shown of our next gen and instead a preference to shift the magnets & force in the puzzle pieces in the hope of something clicking even though it hasn't looked likely of late

Maybe it's time for Mitch, Ollie & Shannon to have a coffee date with Lukey D and find out Scotty's preferred brand of car wash

Much like most of our recent games, our season is on the line tonight with our remaining matches virtually all elimination finals, while crossing fingers that other results fall our way and for the first time since the 2019 preliminary final we'll be entering a match without Hawkins, while the durable Blicavs will also miss the remaining H&A season, both out with hamstring injuries

After a number of recent disappointing matches, games where senior players were down on form and things just didn't look likely that, let's hope for a 180 change in things tonight - they need to be prepared to hunt the ball & the man, put the foot on the throat early & don't ease up all night. Tonight may not just be about keeping our season alive but also a few careers - time to pull the finger out, show some pride in the guernsey and defend our home deck and making it the fortress we know it should be

Excellent post cats09. Balanced + thoughtful.

 

[D BRIDGE]

If Danger has a big night I think we can win... If he doesn't Port's mid should be able to take hold of the game.

Both teams are undermanned and with weird form... Let's see what happens.

We've had that problem all year.

 

[moond0g]

With so many outs for them we should win this

Don't see how we can handle those hot Pies. Everybody rules besides us!

 

[Grimoz]

Port will go even harder now that the pies are being manhandled by the hawks, beat us and only 1 game behind.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Win lose or draw - a good honest effort from Geelong tonight - then all is good

Not some of this " Old Geelong " type football which they have played in some games this year - thats no good at all

 

[Generalissimo]

Interesting time for Esava to audition for Port, if that's what's going on. With so many talls out for Port he'll look pretty interesting.

I'm a bit slow, nearly freaked imagining we'd get that blackout, at Waverley was it?
Cats Website: Power outage scheduled for tonight in the Geelong Region
Ho hum.

Power outage all day here, I’m taking that as a positive omen
