Your views on the game?

 

[Vindicater]

Can't see us getting within 60 points.

[JackFlash]

This could be trouble for the Dons, Cats by 50 points!

 

[Gazza Greatness]

 

[timokane]

cats to end essendons season and win by an easy 3 goals

 

[Cam Payne]

Cis Scott verses Bad Scott. If the Cats don't win this, the fix is in.

 

[Mr Meow]

Geelong don't really thrash teams anymore, we're more of a 1-39 point win proposition.

This week I think they'll really put the foot down though and win by 41 points.

 

[JayJ20]

 

[STPer18]

Essendon have been stiff not to win their last two games with half their team missing.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Can't see us getting within 60 points.

We don't really turn up against lower sides. If your guys turn up it could be a game, until the 4th then we put the foot down. It's becoming a problem with us.

 

[Skipper_]

We don't really turn up against lower sides. If your guys turn up it could be a game, until the 4th then we put the foot down. It's becoming a problem with us.

Don't worry, we prefer to give our opponents a 6 goal head start most weeks.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Can we forfiet

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Another two debuts in Archer May and Lachlan Blakiston brings the tally to 10 debutants for the year.

Last time we had this many would have been in 2016

 

[timokane]

love essendon but i think cats win this by 4 goals just be too good

 

[Donflicted]

love essendon but i think cats win this by 4 goals just be too good

love u 2

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

LETS GOOOOOOO

 

[Foxx]

We don't really turn up against lower sides. If your guys turn up it could be a game, until the 4th then we put the foot down. It's becoming a problem with us.

12 of our best 22 aren't turning up for starters so you'll be fine.

 

[The Casey Cat]

12 of our best 22 aren't turning up for starters so you'll be fine.

Are all 12 really your best (I'm sure some are)? Daniel Hoyne for Champion Data had interesting stuff on the Bombers. They've actually moved the ball better the last couple of weeks than they have all year.

 

[Chinacats]

Consolidation game for cats. Get the win that most expect and stay top 4. A slip up then Brisbane would not be ideal. Henry and Neale in the top 6 forwards to concede the most intercept marks in the AFL. Henry out , so let’s see about Neale and halving some contests and not dropping simple marks…

 

[Foxx]

Are all 12 really your best (I'm sure some are)? Daniel Hoyne for Champion Data had interesting stuff on the Bombers. They've actually moved the ball better the last couple of weeks than they have all year.

Well yes, Brad Scott had been playing too tall. I don't think he got the memo that the game has changed over the last 5 years to an outside runners game.

 

[jannissary]

Are all 12 really your best (I'm sure some are)? Daniel Hoyne for Champion Data had interesting stuff on the Bombers. They've actually moved the ball better the last couple of weeks than they have all year.

we've looked better when we've opted for a "chaos" ball situation, though our undermaned defence certainly doesn't help us to keep it consistent.

 

[jannissary]

our major failure over the season has been poor starts. we kept up with opposition teams after the fact, though.

can't see us getting within 36

 

[Wojcinski]

outside of 2016 the last time Geelong were as heavy favourites as they are for this game; this happened
