This is the sort of game north will come out for firing and getting all physical with that intense underdog pep talk behind doors a lot of clubs do, and we will be a bit flat.
Can see it coming a mile away… will do just enough probably to get over the line. Will be somewhere between 4-8 goals in the end.
Will be a boring just bank the points week of footy.
Maybe. But last time Geelong themselves got bored in the last quarter and gave up a bunch of %. If they go in full strength and are ahead I reckon they will rest players in 4th qtr given they play Melbourne in 5 days time - and won’t be % booster anyway. Most important way to get top 4 is to beat teams like melbourne and Carlton over the following 2 weeks. That will take smart player management. IMHOI’ll take boring.
Percentage will be more crucial than ever for top 4
From what I have seen I would not go anywhere near Higgins, but what would I know? Just does not seem an upside to him coming in.I would be looking at:
In: Rohan, Neale, Stephens
Out: Stewart, Hawkins, Selwood (latter two managed)
But suspect they will look to give Higgins and Ratugolea game time.
Yeah I think this game will play out the same way as the Carlton game at KP back in 2018.This is the sort of game north will come out for firing and getting all physical with that intense underdog pep talk behind doors a lot of clubs do, and we will be a bit flat.

Not a hope in hell Narkle gets a game lol
Id like to see Atkins repeat in the midfield to get ready for the tougher teams coming up - he makes a Richmond like difference to the scrap and grit in our midfield, which I love. Think we should bite the bullet on Miers - he is a good runner and tackler, but his disposal is poor and worse under pressure. Will not cut it against Melb/Carlton/Freo/Brissie pressure. Can kick a goal, but only if its within 35 metres. Close and Stengle are locks. Also, may be unpopular on here, but I think Zac G has to stay in the team.
Did some good, especially from an offensive perspective - nice goal in the third when roved a ruck contest in our forward 50How did Narkle go in the twos?

I seen what you done thanYou better not cross me than
I’m interested to know - are you confident for this one? Do you think we will win?Rested: Hawkins, DeKoning, Selwood, out Stewart
Ins: Sav, Stephens, Danger, Rohan
DeKoning looked a bit flat, and not jumping as much- maybe needs a rest.
I went to the Tigers game- that shows a bit.I’m interested to know - are you confident for this one? Do you think we will win?
tattoo is a giveaway, needs a 'stache
Does he need to go down one more level? VAFA?Did some good, especially from an offensive perspective - nice goal in the third when roved a ruck contest in our forward 50
Then there was the frustration from a defensive perspective when he went missing - if there was a better balance shown when that defensive pressure & running is needed, it would be good
West Coast has been getting progressively better since the bye, We should still beat them but they aint North Melbourne and we will need to take them seriously (unless we are two games clear on top or something else equally improbable)It's annoying that the West Coast game is the last game of the season, as that's the other remaining easier game in fixture list that we'd ideally be able to rest players for. The fact that there's a bye week right afterwards though makes resting players in that game counterproductive.
I reckon we're going to see Dempsey again this weekend.
Looked like he had a strong game in the vfl from the highlights.I just want Neale to get 1 more game this year, and think this game will be his last chance this year
Kolo is a conundrum - does some things extremely well but really hasn't eradicated errors coming from poor execution and decision making.
I think he's as good as he will be now and the equation becomes does the good outweigh the bad?
The really good ones know what they are going to do before they take possession - look at Stengle/Close and even a newbie like SDK - Kolo will never be that.
He played last time Hawkins and Cameron were in the side, so he could do it againLooked like he had a strong game in the vfl from the highlights.
The issue for him is he really only gets an opportunity if one of Hawkins or Cameron are out. That's not going to change any time soon.
Whether he plays again in the seniors this year, like most here, I just hope we retain him because he looks like a real talent for the future.
It may be that, like with SDK, he gets his chance next year after adding a bit of bulk in the off-season and can really be relied upon to play that forward-ruck option.
I hope so too. But my measure of changes this year has been based on activity by Geelong social media team - and we have seen zero of Dempsey this week. I am comfortable with him developing the rest of the year in vfl but now focussed on hoping they increase his time in the midfield.Hope so- I want to see as much game time pushed into that little freak as possible(A few games this year while he builds muscle/tank/gameplan understanding). Could be anything. Pretty sure he's got the most potential of our under 22's(including SDK)
That may be where he ends up next year...Does he need to go down one more level? VAFA?
Yeah, but structurally I don't think it really worked that game. Similar to when Sav was in the side. Unless the extra tall can do a bulk of the ruck work, the role can be a bit unclear.He played last time Hawkins and Cameron were in the side, so he could do it again
