Game Day Geelong V Hawks Mon Apr1 2024 @MCG 320pm

[you pick one]

Gather round is just an extra round of football - all teams play in SA over the weekend and it has no impact on teams traditional 11 home & 11 away games

Who gets 11 home and 11 away games!!!!

 

[Lingsface]

Bit disappointed dropping Mannagh, but don't disagree with the ins, I suppose it's a good sign.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No late change from the looks of this

I don't know that I like Bowes sub but I'll live with it

 

[Generalissimo]

Well, effectively the Crows and Power get an extra home game. Why they don't play each other during Gather Round is beyond me.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Bowes was always the obvious sub after not playing a full game all year.

Give him a run and if he looks goods enough he can play a full game next week (should be fresh).

Still gotta say though… it’s still up in the air if we see him as a best 22 player or not.

You'd be wasting a huge standalone game in the milieu of a festival.

Not exactly an impact player. Prefer Mannah in that role.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Foxtel featuring our hero, Tomahawk

 

[Commando]

Light rain on and off, hopefully it doesn’t get any heavier throughout the game

I pulled the pin so and stayed home so the weather will probably remain ok now. -2 from crowd number lol

Wish an in form, epic Isaac Smith*

Player not found

was playing in Hawkins’ 350th game

*For Geelong obviously

 

[Heckler]

Bad weather makes this a danger game.
Potentially nullify Cats marking advantage.
Hawks will want ground battle of metres
Rain will bring the smaller cats into play.
In and under players must win clearances
Danger and Mannagh will be missed
Tough nuts Atkins and Bruhn welcome back
Not about speed but who wants it more.
Holmes and other ball carriers critical
Small forwards must hit the scoreboard.
Cats still have the better skills to prevail.
Tom 350 n Ollie 50 will motivate team.

Hope Mullin doubters will be silenced today.

They likely would have cracked the shits with that idea, and the AFL would have looked at it as a loss of $$$

I can see why they've made that decision as it's likely about managing minutes in his return, and prep for a full game on Saturday

No late changes

 

[Vivy]

Good to have phone reception at the ground again. Weather is holding up. Crowd looking sizeable

GA in both the Olympic & Warne Stands is filling up - those two locations are GA from a certain seating row and it's clear where that row starts

Ponsford seems to be filling up as well - harder time tell as it's where I'm sitting

I’d love this to be the game where Bruhn has that big breakout match and finally pops his coaches votes cherry.

Opposition mids aren’t elite.

Wet game should play to his inside strengths.

He should be super fresh.

Conway v an average ruck might be able to hit it to our mids advantage more than Stanley v guns rucks.

Could be plenty of stoppages.

It’s finally Tanner time for mine.

Also have the feeling it's a game Bruhn can get a hold of. Hopefully he can get to the next level

Thanks mate. Yeah I’ve lost a bit of interest in footy. Maybe it comes from us being good for so long.

Last year was the worst year of my life. By a long way. So pulled my head in everywhere.

Break up.
Health.
Finance.
Death.
Changed states to where I know no one. (As a naturally social person that hit me more than anything) Only improved by my son moving to be with me recently.

That’s it in a nutshell.

But anyway, we move on.
Back to the smashing.

I saw seeds post about our mids being plodders. Don’t completely agree. But what I’ve been worried about is our mids not being ball winners.

I think the group he mentioned are just that. But they need time together.

Good to see you back around the halls VC...

Hope things straighten up for you.

Lets get the win!

GO Catters

 

[Generalissimo]

JUST WIN FARKEN

 

[dazbroncos]

Break them Farken.

Go Catters
