This should be a close one. Adelaide could easily cause an upset i reckon.

 

[pazza]

Quite warm at start time. Currently 24 at Geelong Racecourse and 27 at Avalon.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Both sides missing 6-7 first choice players. Should be very close.

There is a nice southerly breeze now.

Edit: quoted the wrong post...

I'm reasonably confident but certainly think Adelaide will give the Cats a scare and could very well win. I just think their injuries may hurt a bit more than ours, plus the home ground advantage and Bartel's 250th should see Geelong lift. Cats by 17, I reckon.

 

[Bobby_]

Cats by 29.

Adelaide to start the year 0-1, probably 0-2 after next week's showdown too.

 

[Kram]

Geelong by 4 goals.

I actually think the crows will win as much as I hate to say it though. early on im expecting a lot of emotion due to their former assistant coach and think they will start well, backed them to be up at qtr time, not sure if they will be able to stay up the whole match though.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Crows to surprise with a strong performance but not strong enough to win.

 

[Balance]

Geelong by 50, at the very least.

 

[manboob]

We now have two fit ruck men! Lookout!

6 goal win I hope!

 

[Righteo]

Hard to see Geelong losing in a milestone match (hard to see them losing at SS fullstop) but I have pretty high expectations for the Crows this year. Cats by 8 with Bartel kicking the sealer.

 

[E92_]

From memory I tipped Geelong but I reckon Adelaide may win this...

 

[Handsuper47]

Crows by 23

Not nearly enough love for this

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Why would that surprise?

I think most are assuming a fairly regulation Geelong win

Won't be a sell-out - Thursday night fixturing?

 

[iBeng]

Blicavs as a Sub is interesting, guess they want his endurance running for an entire quarter...?

 

[funk44]

not confident

 

[yakka man]

Geelong to win IMO. It takes a very, very good team to beat them at the Cattery. Especially in a final

 

[Kakkle]

Geelong by 17.
