[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Dogs should win this one (if they come to play). Cats will be sending off Smith and perhaps Tuohy but have nothing to play for. So I hope we play some of the kids Knevitt, Dempsey,Mullin and possibly debut Conway and give some of the oldies an early holiday.

We'll already be missing Duncan, Close, Stanley, Blitz, J Henry, Rohan,Sav and thinking about sending Jezza off for surgery on his shoulder. I hope we rest Danger too, as he's still carrying the broken ribs and punctured lung from the Port game at Adelaide.

Feels weird this is the last week of the year for Geelong but having a September free could be a stress free finals for a change.

I love the doggies but last week's result will hurt

 

[JackFlash]

Cats are unlikely to be scratching anything against the Dogs who will win by 45points

 

[melbun]

Experienced geriatric cats to overwhelm badly behaved pups.

 

[The 4th Horseman]

We can't beat Geelong even at the best of times.

[Mr Meow]

We can't beat Geelong even at the best of times.

Cats by 25.

This is the best time to get the Cats since 2002. The 2015 dead rubber and 2006 games there were way less injuries.

Bulldogs by 5 goals because Geelong usually stop big blow outs.

 

[STPer18]

Sounds like we're closing up shop early and sending some guys into surgery. Dogs should get up and put the pressure back on GWS to beat Carlton for the last spot in the 8.

 

[hutchy31]

Did the people tipping the dogs watch any of our last two games? If we happen to win it'll only be because the cats play their VFL team as the AFL guys have been rested, although even then I'd still give them a chance.

Alternatively, if there is some news on Bevo's future this week and it turns out to be his last game then maybe they get up for him. Who knows.

Bet the AFL are loving this! Thought they'd have a pre-elimination final on their hands, or at worst a game that would decide positions in the eight. Turns out it'll be like a dirge.

Got a feeling we'll roll the Cats down at the Cattery this week.

Then hopefully Carlton roll the Giants and we get hot in September.

 

[My Tilly]

Got a feeling we'll roll the Cats down at the Cattery this week.

Then hopefully Carlton roll the Giants and we get hot in September.

You will beat us as we are dropping a handful of players along with those already injured but you aren't playing finals.

Toby Greene will play one of the best games of the year and get them into the finals.
Having both Sydney teams in is great for business.

 

[Macca180]

Dogs should of sealed the 8 by now

However they will be playing Geelong reserves team so they should get up here

 

[Chinacats]

Can dogs make the 8 and can the Bont. Get Brownlow votes? Only relevance for this game… since cats flopped this year…

 

[Danw0w]

A week is a very long time in footy. We've seen this script before.

Dogs by 23

 

[StringyDog]

We never beat Geelong, they beat us with their VFL midfield at Marvel earlier this year so who is missing is irrelevant, Cats are in Dogs heads. Tom Stewart to be BOG as he nearly always is against us.

 

[timokane]

dogs by 3 points in a close battle at the cattery and end cats era once and for all

 

[footy75]

Cats are done.

Dogs will win.

Boy the Dogs have blown this season.

Cats VFL side could beat out mentally fatigued AFL side right now

 

[Dazb86]

We literally just lost to West Coast. Not sure what Cats fans are worried about

 

[Footy Smarts]

We literally just lost to West Coast. Not sure what Cats fans are worried about

West Coast right now have a better team than Geelong are likely to put out on the weekend.

Cameron, Hawkins, Guthrie, Duncan, Blicavs, Stanley, Rohan, J Henry, Close and Ratugolea all look to be out. I'd say that's 5 of our best 7 and 9 of our best 18.

But then we don't often lose at home, we don't often lose to the dogs and it looks like Beve has lost the players so who knows.

You could literally play Tom Stewart Vs our 22 and we'd find a way to pin point it to him every time we looked to go forward

You should go all in for him as a forward. I've never seen such quality inside 50 delivery.

I can see why neither set of fans have any confidence. But I guess someone's gotta win. Or we can fight out a nil all draw?

Pretty lucky AFL scores can't be negative - I think if they could be, this game would find a way

 

[Generalissimo]

We'll play a bunch of kids and lose badly, but it'll be good for their development. It'll be nice to see guys like Knevitt, Dempsey, Mullin, Neale, and hopefully Conway going out there and just playing, out of the shadow of their veteran teammates.

If by some miracle we're still in the game at half time, expect an avalanche of dodgy frees to the Dogs. The AFL will absolutely not want last week's goal umpire howler to be responsible for anyone making or missing the finals, so we can't be permitted to win. Not that we will, but if the Dogs crap the bed again like last week...
