A Toby Greenless GWS to win and upset the cats and the cats go out in straight sets.

GWS to win by 14 points.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Can't see a Toby-less Giants side getting up here. He is their talisman. It will be interesting to see which way the neutral crowd goes here. My perception is that Geelong is neither much liked or hated in Perth, but maybe Eagles fans will want payback for some of those recent hidings they've got at Kardinya Park. On the other hand that might make the Cats firm favourites with Docker fans.

 

[footy75]

Geelong to bounce back.

Completely incorrect. Geelong are hated by most Fremantle fans which probably stemmed from our dislike of their coach Scott, Chapman & Scarlett. I'm hoping for a GWS upset.

Anyone bought members tickets yet ? Whats the pricing look like.

I'm sad to hear that. Teams, coaches and players annoy fans all the time. Hell, I remember when Solomon cracked Ling's cheekbone. I actually like Freo and was cheering for you against the Hawks.

 

[Big Animal]

just got my tickets!! Can't wait. Should be a good game.

cheap as chips - most tickets looks like $35 for adults hopefully this means a decent sized crowd.

 

[Finknottle]

Toby-less Giants vs Tom-less Cats.
Given the result of the previous game you would expect the Cats to make some changes. Tuohy for injured O'Connor. Ratugolea, Zuthrie?

 

[Xtreme]

Geelong to bounce back with a resounding win by 45 points

to kick 4 goals
Patrick Dangerfield best on ground with 30 possessions and 2 goals

 

[timokane]

i reckon green will get a huge fine and able to play v cats i just have a feeling that the umpire could have moved out of the way and that green could not as he had a player on his other side and he just brushed past the ump.

 

[timokane]

if the umpire actually properly umpired then the incident would not have occured typical of the afl protecting them

 

[timokane]

Greenless GWS to beat the cats
Guilty is the verdict from afl so toby is rubbed out but gws to win still.

 

[PCORF]

I think we'll see a very different Geelong side this Friday and I expect them to bounce back and take care of a Green-less GWS.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Even with Greene, Geelong would be too strong.

Without Greene, expect the Cats by 47 points

 

[Plugger35]

I'd love to see GWS win but without Greene it's hard to see it happening, they've won games without him though so I wouldn't rule it out completely.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Cats to win, Dangerfield delighted that Greene can't hit him in the throat again!

 

[jwint43]

Wonder what the crowd will be? 40k + would be good. I'm going to every possible game in WA

 

[Toump Ass]

Hoges to kick a bag then snort a bag. Danger to go missing when it matters. Hawkins will grab a nice big fat nugget out of his nose and eat it live on television. Selwood’s a dirty campaigner. GWS easily because Geelong are mentally pissweak.

Loves a whinge does Chris, loves it. Can't help himself. Just has to have a big fat sook.

Victim blaming. Typical of the halfwitted

This is not me arcing up. This isn’t a hostile question it’s just something I often wonder.

Why is it that every coach after loss delivers a mixture of blame-acceptance (either personally or from a team perspective), some mitigating factors that may or may not be real, and a damage control speech designed to try and take a bit of pressure of his team, but when Scott does it, it’s a whinge? What did he say in Friday night’s post game that was a whinge?

I take a fairly close interest in all post match pressers and I don’t see a single thing he does different, win or lose, to any other coach. He’s generally measured, leans heavily on the ‘it’s never as bad as things are painted after a loss and it’s never as good as things are painted after a win’ mantra

 

[JackFlash]

I have calmed down after last week's debacle, surely Geelong cannot play that badly anymore this season? Port are not that good ( i think they'll lose their home Preliminary if they play the Dogs) Greene is worth 3 goals to the Giants and he won't be there to spook the Cats as he did a few weeks ago.
Geelong can win this by a lot and gear themselves up to shock Melbourne the following week. Cats by 46points.

That was Dunstall’s take last night on 360.
Guthrie - good player, played terrible
Cameron - stay, played terrible
Henderson - reliable player, played terrible
Dangerfield - superstar, played terrible
Etc etc
His view was basically that the odds of it happening twice in a row are minimal.


Tuohy back takes care to some degree of the composure element of Stewart’s absence. Tuohy brings a lot of calm to the back 50 and his kicking is a weapon.

I think Guthrie (Zac) needs to play because he can at least offer some interception which in turn frees Henry up to play more one on one against a key forward. Henry is a magnificent defender and our next best intercepter behind Stewart but he can’t play both roles.
