Today's the day.

Today's the day.

The teddy bears had theeeeeeeeeir picnic.






I just hope we are the teddy bears and not what's in the basket.

 

[Jeff76]

Should know if the good Cats have turned up in the first 5 minutes, I'm expecting a different side this week but we'll fall short by 5 goals.

 

[dazbroncos]

Ok... its that time again.

Get it out of the way.

We were shit last week. From the top down.

Shit.

Based on the year thus far, possible our worst performance. Cant, wont and should not deny it.

The only thing Im remotely happy about - we are 12-0 after a bye loss.

So lets make that 13.

Its Domsy and Mackie last few attempts, and if this goes pear shaped, it will be their last game.

Boris went off in tears to this mob last year.

We dont need a repeat of that.

Swans have done us of late. Done no more.
Stand up Geelong. Stand up Geelong supporters. We need a full team effort and a full coaching effort.
It might be against us but this is the time when the GFC must look back to go forward.

We have lost a QF before, and come back to to make GF.

We can do this. It's a long offseason and im not ready for GFC footy to be over - although I could really use the sleep.


oh.. and for those playing along at home..
If you bait, troll and generally act like a pest in this thread, you will get infracted. So if you do it, and you turn red, dont act surprised.

GO Catters

If we somehow make it through this game, it will be the most unexpected victory of our season.

 

[Daniel McL]

If Sydney kick the first 3-4 goals of the game...

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Swans will start well cats be scared to get the ball or man. Cats come back in the second half make the margin soemwhat respectable. "We were really pleased with their effort to come back. Sydney are a good team we'll be better next year." Chris Scott after match press conference.
Chris your team has lost finals in the same way each year.
"Some of the players rare different each time, therefore we can't draw any conclusions from this long timeline of events. We will continue to do the same thing and hope it changes."

Yes frustratingly an effort that probably would have been good enough to beat Richmond, but leave us 3-5 goals short here.

 

[BotsMaster]

I'm hoping the players remember those famous words said by coach Bombay

 

[Daniel McL]

If we actually kick a goal in the first quarter...

So much buried truth in this.
"You can't really say we play the MCG badly. We beat the reigning premiers here last year in finals, so all of your arguments about Geelong being anything less than perfect are completely invalid."

Come on Cats, prove everybody wrong. Don't bow out like this.

Lol, no D Mac.......not with the amount rain that's predicted tonight
I think we can beat the Swans.....and I think we can do it by going into the game not worrying about what they are doing. No tags, no press, no zoning.
Just worry about getting the ball and winning as many 'one on one' contests as possible.
If you win more contests than you lose, you generally win the game.

I tip Cats by 10 points

To all Geelong supporters posting negative thoughts and predictions that we'll get smashed:

I understand that it's a self preservation mechanism and you don't want to set yourself up for disappointment in the event we do not win the game.

I get it, and I love youse all.

+ve vibes only today from me.
STAND UP AND FIGHT!!

Go Catters

I was going to like the post until I saw your margin tip

 

[CatTricks]

Menzel to make a statement to the MC tonight.
Hoping Thurlow comes in late.

 

[cats_09]

Any chance of verse two of our song being drilled into the players ahead of tonight - and even better, any chance of it being included when the team runs through the banner:


So! Stand up and fight, remember our tradition
Stand up and fight, it’s always our ambition
Throughout the game to fight with all our might
Because we’re the mighty blue and white
And when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
Stand up and fight like hell!

Haha 47-0
Idk just like others have mentioned we play well when underdogs, so I thought I'd join in and tip Swans by a lot while secretly hoping we come out and win

Still not sure how Thurlow is below Lang and Zuthrie in the pecking order

 

[STPer18]

Isn't this the kind of game we usually lose?

 

[Pollywaffle]

Isn't this the kind of game we usually lose?
