2007 AFL Grand Final - Geelong v Port Adelaide (The Grand Final the type of game we usually lose)

[Fuzzyash]

We are in big trouble....Grant Thomas will say so in 5 mins on F C.

That will be a good thing. Grant Thomas saying something is going to happen is known to slightly increase the chances of the opposite happening.

Spot on. He said we should drop Hawkins, and the Tomahawk ended up as arguably the best big forward on the ground last night. I wonder what pearls of wisdom GT will have for us this week.

 

[SnappyHappy]

Hahaha. Gold. I love it.

Go cats!!!

Hahaha...now that's gold!

I hear there'll be some interesting selection problems this week, with the selection committee having a tough choice between King and Blake. Who do you think should be in?

 

[CF]

the problem with bumping this thread is that we really did lose last year

if it backfires again the bumping culprit better run & hide!

 

[Rimmer]

You Geelong supporters must speak Swahili, I am not really sure if this is a negative thread or not.

You are there again with the chance to take the ultimate prize.

Congratulations to you all and your club and good luck in the Grand Final

 

[gabstar]

How sweet it was having to watch GT eat his own words about Hawkins last night.

I wonder how he's viewed the finals series of Milne and Kosi so far?

let the tradition live on

This thread WASN'T bumped last year though, Catman. Look what happened!

Just glad to be on the team, is all...

 

[And_ROOS]

Taking it one week at a time, aiming for the 4 points...

I'm not sure if my fragile mental state could hack 2 grand final losses in a row! Carn Cats!

I have confidence in the team for sure, it's just the Rugby "limit the oppositions skill" game style of St Kilda which I am a bit concerned about. On paper we are a better team and if we play to the best of our abilities we should win.

Also if it rains, I'm hoping we can adapt better to it.

 

[krisholio14]

Just one more win.

 

[PoidaCat]

Win or I'm jumping off the Westgate!

Cats, it's your call!

You'll have trouble, there's a fence there now.

I find it very funny how the Saints supporters are talking about our 'underdone' guys like Ottens, Kelly, Chapman, Dog and Harley.

Otto's played seven matches in a row now and is clearly about to hit premium match fitness. I'm backing him to have a huge game on Saturday.

Kelly's played three in a row and hasn't missed a beat.

Chappy's kicked a lazy 7 goals and had 44 possessions in our two finals.

Dog won't be at his peak this week, but is clearly injury free (just lacking match fitness) and a contribution like he made against the Pies will be most appreciated.

Harley hasn't been injured for weeks and was managed through the second half of the season, such as being rested against the Dogs in round 21 (this was planned in advance for months).


Compare it with the likes of Riewoldt and his knee injury, Hayes and his various ankle/elbow complaints and apparently Gram copped a heavy hit on the hip last week and would miss this week if it was H&A.

Call me crazy but... aren't they carrying the players most likely to break down?

 

[PoidaCat]

Don't worry about St Kilda they are s**t. Geelong will smash 'em!

 

[BotsMaster]

I like your thinking

 

[Call Me Cake]

I'll be honest and say I have a split decision in preference.

Watching the Media's, BigFooty's, Geelong's reaction to only winning 1 out of 3 would be so entertaining and a guilty pleasure of mine.

However, watching St Kilda have such a great year and blowing it again after 40+ years would result in the same entertainment + torture rights.

I guess either way, the AFL gets entertainment.

You'll have trouble, there's a fence there now.

They have a fence there but still have the old railings there so you can climb up the railings and get over the fence no problem. Unless they have fixed it since i went over it last (round 21).

over the edge

i like that attitude!

this geelong team doesn't lose many of the important matches (except for you know when) so I think we're pretty safe.

This thread WASN'T bumped last year though, Catman. Look what happened!

So that's what happened!

St. Kilda will be very tough to beat. There's not really a weakness in their line up and they have several stars.

The odds are skewed because of the prelims. St Kilda had a much tougher job getting past the Doggies than we did against an undermanned Pies with several out of form players.

I reckon it will be a real scrap for 4 quarters and we will need to kick straight to win the game.

The cats and saints are playing off in the big one! Still hasn't quite sunk in yet for me, but come Saturday afternoon, well, it will be a special day no matter what the result. Will end in tears though, that much is for sure!

That Barry Breen better not be your 19th man on the field with a minute to go!!!
