Thought you guys might be further interested in the Cats getting cocky down in Geelong this week. Back page of the Addy screams that Rocca is Scarlett's bunny. Link to the back page is here: http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/extras/GeelongBackPageLRG.jpg

I hope MM shows that to Rocca , if that doesn't fire the big fella up nothing will.

How is it the Cats getting cocky ?
It's just the local crapfest rag,which I gather you work for,trying to beat up a headline.

While it's pretty obvious Scarlett has squarely beat Rocca in the last 2 outings and it's hard to take articles in the Geelong addy seriously, I found this bit interesting: "In his past six games against the Cats, Rocca has averaged just two goals a match from nine possessions and four marks."
That's pretty poor evidence of Rocca having a poor record against Scarlett given that his career average is only 1.7 goals per game.
In fact head-head Rocca averages 2.4 goals a game when Scarlett has played - considerably above his career average. Meanwhile Scarlett's record against Collingwood isn't any better or worse than his record against any other club. No doubt this is skewed by the fact Tarrant used to regularly beat Scarlett, but the only thing the facts really support is that Scarlett has soundly beaten Rocca twice in 2007, the second occasion of which it was later revealed Rocca suffered an ankle injury, for which he got surgery immediately after.
I don't have hopes of Rocca having a blinder, but at the same time, we don't rely on him to win as much as in years gone past. I'm more concerned that Travis Cloke gets out of his form slump. He averages 3 goals a game against Geelong and pantsed the AA CHB last year, with disposals, 10 marks and 4 goals in round 15.

There's nothing wrong with the article - no triumphalism in evidence - but the back cover is stupid and offensive. Blame the editor, not the writer.
Hopefully Rocca will be on a revenge mission. Anyone read Watership Down? Anthony needs to find his inner Bigwig.:thumbsu:
Time for Pebs to shows his class.

Look Scarlett is a superstar and probably has 14 other bunnies in the comp, he is far to agile and quick for Pebs so if things dont go to plan early this week with the matchup MM needs all his coaching guile to workout how to either A)Take scarlett out of the play, b)Make him moreaccoutable by having a small forward next to Pebs who will be a Psuedo Tagger if you like, C)do nothing and he runs amoke anyway.
Its a hard call but if we dont break even at least in all positions the wont mater what Scarlett does the cats will win anyway.

Yes, maybe it's MM who needs to fire, step up and show his class. Strategey might be everything tomorrow night.

What's even more offensive (to rabbits) is that I think they're Kangaroo ears, not bunny ears. Conclusive evidence of Geelong supporters' short-sighted ramblings. As a professional, I can vouch for the fact it's a crap piece of retouching, too.

this kind of article has the power to affect a person... i know it wont affect rocca... but why doesnt mark robinson get on his high horse now and start preaching about depression etc... why doesnt mark doran now confront that journalist on SEN... if i were rocca and there was a picture of me as a bunny id become a lunatic.. hopefully its a full moon tomorrow and big boy pebs becomes a lunatic and kicks a bag against scarlett...
i hate journos.. rocca always provides something for us- a deft handball, a tap to advantage etc... and they always like to criticise him.. on the other hand mathew lloyd is now no more that an EDFL player but he doesnt get canned...

LOL Im laughing at how badly Hawthorn supporters want us to beat the Cats. Have you guys done this with any other teams in the last few weeks?
Anyway, to the point, it was written by some gutter-trash newspaper in a one-team town. What has that got to do with Geelong? How does that make THEM cocky?
I read in today's HS that Bomber and his boys haven't even spoken about last year's Prelim, other then evaluate our form and game, which is expected as an opponent. I think everyones beating this up more then it needs to be. Its just another game.
As for Rocca being Scarlett's bunny, I was going to start a thread but Im yellow-carded so I cant, but the stuff enosis posted is pretty much everything I was going to say about Rocca VS Geelong and Scarlett VS Collingwood;
In fact head-head Rocca averages 2.4 goals a game when Scarlett has played - considerably above his career average.

Other then last year, how has Rocca been Scarlett's bunny? Geez, Scarlett would have a farm full of 'em if Rocca is his bunny. As was mentioned, he got towelled up in the H&A game, but played the Prelim with an injuried ankle.
I'm not optimistic about Friday night but I wouldn't be suprised if Collingwood did win. We just need to bring our A-game and hope they're still not functioning at 100%.

Scarlett used to play on Tarrant, he's played on Roc a few times and cut him up every time.

Hey geelong supporters constructive comment of go ____ yourselves your not welcome.
I think it was a stupid move by the advertiser to do it, never give the opposition ammunition. Bomber would hope they dotn lose(unlikely i know) but if they do and rocca just plays ok they will all loke very stupid because of one dumb journalist.

The guy in the bunny suit only gets shot in the eye in an alternate reality - the bunny is actually the catalyst for Jake Gyllenhaal's character to realise he has to sacrifice himself in order to set the universe straight again and close the wormhole. Kind of like his freaky-looking conscience.
So I hope Scarlett has a good night :)

...so you're saying Scarlett will have a "Tears for Fears" moment just prior to tonight's game, pedal a bike out to some remote farmhouse in time to see a young girl get run over and in order to prevent that from happening, he'll time travel back to the Pies/Geel final last year and lose the game (resulting in Pies Premiership of course) while plane engine plummett randomly into peoples bedrooms?
Amazing I was thinking that was how it might happen just this morning!

Rocca wanted to get Scarlett alone
One out in the goalsquare
He keeps his distance through a system of touch,
and gentle persuasion
Oh he's wasting our time
Ump he's wasting time
Something happens and he's head of heels,
The umpire never finds out but he's head over heels!

Basically I think Rocca's role in this game is to take marks or prevent Geelong marks in the forward line, and also "use up" Scarlet so he won't be on Cloke, who needs to have a v good game if we are to have a chance. It's up to MM and other players to apply great defensive pressure to stop Scarlet and others getting free and delivering to midfielders in space - which will often lead to a rebound goal. I'm hoping Goldsack will eventually be a defensive forward but for now, obviously Leon, Medders, Thomas, Capt Scott and maybe lockyer are important there and maybe someone like Harry or Maxwell could be played forward also. This is also a big part of kicking more goals than we have been.

Never understood that movie. But I guess you need to watch it more than once to get a feel for it.
Looking forward to tonight. Collingwood always play well against us. I still remember going to the 06 game where you belted us by over 100 points. That was depressing.
Good luck tonight, but not too much!
