VFL 2019 GFC VFL - The Bankers Megathread

[cats_09]

Thanks to Krock for the following:

GEELONG has released 45-strong initial VFL training squad ahead of next week’s start of pre-season.

To again be coached by Shane O’Bree, the Cats will have eight sessions at Deakin University’s Elite Sports Precinct in Waurn Ponds before Christmas.

Twenty-one of those invited are new to the Cats, including Geelong Falcons trio Baxter Mensch (son of ex-Geelong forward David), Zac Knights (son of Cats assistant and former Richmond great Matthew) and Titit Nyak.

Geelong has also opened the door to six fresh faces from the GFL; Newtown & Chilwell trio Alex Cincotta, Ned Harris and Jy Lane, Colac big man Adam Garner, St Joseph’s ruck Josh Hovey, and St Mary’s young gun Harry Ling.

The Cats will announce more additions once the AFL draft period is concluded.

Noticed this advertised on Facebook.

Well, it has been a long time coming but it's here in season 2019... goFooty.Live.

Live radio broadcasts of all* Geelong VFL & VFLW games from round 1 to the Grand Final. If the Cats are playing, we'll be there to bring you all the action. Experienced callers, informed opinion and maybe just a little bit of bias towards our home team.

Every round, we'll start our broadcast with a pre-match program with interviews with coaches or club officials from each club, reviews of the previous round and previews of the current round's games. After the game, we'll review the game and award our Player Of The Match and Goal Of The Day. And because we are committed to local footy in our region, we'll also report on the Geelong Football League (GFL), Bellarine Football League (BFL) and Geelong & Districts Football League (GDFL) during the broadcast every week.

Don't think it is affiliated with the club, but it'll be awesome to have something like this so those who can't make it to the games or who live in areas without TV coverage can keep up to date with what is happening with the VFL/VFLW sides.

Here's the link to the site: https://gofooty.live/

"Oscar Brownless was amongst the Cats’ best, showing off his skillset in a tough match.

Geelong’s VFL side has suffered a heavy defeat in their first practice match of 2019, falling to Essendon, 4.10 (34) to 13.11 (89) in Thursday’s clash.

The Cats were slow to get into the game and remained out of the contest for most of the day.

In contrast, the Bombers came out firing, kicking four early goals to open up a 27-point lead at quarter time".

Forward line looks a little top heavy, while the backline looks a little light on for talls....

Something for Saturday ..

 

[cats_09]

Geelong has named a strong team for their elimination final against Port Melbourne at Adcon Stadium on Saturday.

Jordan Clark and Lachie Fogarty will both make their comebacks from injury after missing last week’s win against Essendon.

Co-Captain Aaron Black last featured in a final in 2014 and is hoping to have a positive impact this time around.

The Cats will go into the match with 20 AFL listed players. A remarkable feat but one that could see a few unlucky players miss out.

The first ball will be bounced at 2.10pm.

Fans planning on attending are encouraged to arrive early with Geelong’s VFLW team in action in the second elimination final against Melbourne Uni from 11.45am.

Listen to both matches via gofooty.live


Elimination Final team

B: Z Guthrie, L Henderson, B Jarvis
HB: J Kennerley, A Black, S Simpson
C: S Selwood, J Parsons, J Clark

R: R Abbott, C Constable, S Menegola
INT: B Reid, J McLachlan, O Brownless, B Schlensog, J Tarca, C Mitchell, P Dowling
