Those team attributes are staggering...

When did we last play Geelong

The King! · Apr 22, 2023

Tipped the cats to be honest, think they have the perfect storm

first real home game
flag unfurling
our injuries
coming back into form
flogged us in grand final

if we win we should all be sipping champagne tomorrow

Spot on IMO.

This is one of those "We shouldn't be losing this" games for Geelong.

But we had one of those in round 3 and we lost by 50 points.

Anything can happen. Bit of a nothing comment here I realise

Bloods86 · Apr 22, 2023

So last week I was the optimist, telling everyone we could win with all the outs.

On that note, I'll leave you all to it.

Dubai Quacker · Apr 22, 2023

Never knew there was a St Chad.

But anyway, just checked into a hotel round the corner from this & thought it’s an omen.

The Chad to have 30 disposals, kick 4 and collect 3 Brownlow votes.

Punts · Apr 22, 2023

We will win

Unpredictable upfront and defence atm and that’s when we play our best and some excel.

We 50/50 the contest in there front with there Talls and job half done

Mills to push back and be in the best

Punts · Apr 22, 2023

Also McLean would wanna stand up

Complete dud this year

If BF’s resident Eeyore reckons we can win, we’ve got this!

Millky95 · Apr 22, 2023

Cats by 6 at 3/4 time to blow out to a 50 point smashing

Don't see a way we win this at all

WOW!

Get the ball, keep the ball and run them off their feet

Cats are bigger, older, heavier and more experienced, but that just means we’re faster.

People are saying they'll build into the season... maybe they're right?
others are saying they're old and slow... maybe they're right??
Personally wouldn't be surprised if this is the year father time catches up with them

Cats have beaten Hawthorn and Eagles.. Wow, big wins

Kirkswan · Apr 22, 2023

The biggest thing on our side imo, is that the Cats haven't put in a 4qtr effort yet... They've played two brilliant halves, but not put it all together. Lets hope they don't do it this week.

Our defence is small, and there forwards are big, so we really need to starve them! If we can pull that off, I'll book my flights...

GO BLOODS!!!

caesar88 · Apr 22, 2023

Bit stressed

Grand Uncle Horace · Apr 22, 2023

Hmmn… Cats taller and more oxygen deprived, heavier and clearly in need of lapband surgery, older and in need of memory prompts- we are so screwed.

You and about 100k others!
We don't really know how good (or otherwise) this team (or Geelong) is yet.
Very stressful.
I actually had to stop watching the Richmond game for a while I was so stressed.
Last quarter was pretty good though!

Standing up is not his problem. It’s when he tries to move……

to be fair , no one marks against him.

in this game he is our only Geelong sized player at the Litter Box.

Expect he will chuck his weight around and hopefully bowl over Dangerfield when he repeats his studs up kicks.

sataris · Apr 22, 2023

Will settle for game not being over 10minutes into the first quarter
