Unofficial Preview Anyway ... Cats vs Swannies for the big one 2022

[Jhye Clark 13]

Noticed the family day Sunday is at st Mary’s so I’d guess no watching on KP
Probably preparing for t20 World Cup

The family day has always been at St Mary's though. At least it was in 07.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

This will be Geelong's 9th GF in the AFL era and the Swans 7th. Only West Coast - also played in 7 - are on par.

We're a big chance to equal West Coast with 4 AFL premierships and sit just behind Hawthorn.

Get. This. Done.

 

[foxdog50]

Grand final morning the sporting globe in geelong is running a breakfast event. Featuring Ablett jnr and Stokes, would be a good way to start the day if you’re in Geelong.

Grand Final Breakfast with Gary Ablett Jr - Geelong

Meet & hear from the dual premiership, dual Brownlow Medallist at this exclusive event.

Gonna head to Geelong to watch it and soak in the atmosphere, anyone know the best pubs to watch the game?

We should get a group together

LOTI does have a big screen. It'll be crowded though I'd imagine.

I think he has a lot of talent..

 

[Hamingja]

Surely this is the Leigh Brockman Cup?

Gerrard Bennett.

Jackson Thurlow hasn't been mentioned yet either.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Last 2 games

Sydney 31.11
Geelong 22.33

My early thinking, we should probably kick goals instead of points this time.

 

[Hamingja]

So I just collated all the names mentioned on the thread so far

A few notable exceptions but the clubs probably should just stop trading with each other....

 

[Vdubs]

LOTI does have a big screen. It'll be crowded though I'd imagine.

I think he has a lot of talent..

Yes, but what chance we can draft him?

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Would you like to buy me a ticket CatsDoItBetter ?

Well I would go with you but I live in Melbourne and I have an event on at the MCG later that day I have a ticket for.

 

[foxdog50]

Goodman, I'm glad you got a ticket to the GF.. jealous but proud people like yourself got a ticket

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Yes, but what chance we can draft him?

None. We'll have to trade for him.

 

[Seeds]

If we play horses for courses and reid is out and the game is wet then does dekonning have a match up?

 

[Vdubs]

None. We'll have to trade for him.

sorry, poor choice of words, do you think we can trade for him, and will we, and how would it work, in your opoinion?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

The family day has always been at St Mary's though. At least it was in 07.

You sure? Could have sworn it was inside the stadium in 07. I remember so many people.

 

[patience]

I think it was St Marys in 07. Unless I am confused with another year.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I think it was St Marys in 07. Unless I am confused with another year.

Was inside the stadium, there's vision during the game.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Good to see that rumour shut down. He could play this week.

‘Opposite is true’: Rumours around ‘disgruntled’ Cat’s absence shut down as selfless act revealed

www.foxsports.com.au

These rumours are basically slander and in a better world players would be able to go after the people that make this s**t up.

 

[Stokey]

I think it was St Marys in 07. Unless I am confused with another year.

I went. was inside.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Yep said on the non geelong thread during the game that there is a big chance he goes out swinging Alistair Lynch style. I'm not going to run with the c word, no not that one, as he is still capable of some good play here and there but he is pretty close to it.

Keeping Heeney and Papley quiet will be the key.

We have selwood retiring. If buddy or anyone else start throwing hands I'm sure selwood would be happy to be one to get his hands dirty so the rest of the teams hands remain clean...

I don't think it will get to that stage I wouldn't have thought.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

When I watched the Sydney V Melbourne QF, I was concerned that they would be tough to beat if they made the GF. Watching the PF against Collingwood, I saw a team the Cats can beat. The Catters will still need to bring it and play at their best, but we can take them.

Yeah they played well in that QF, you can't deny them that. But that result says a fair bit about where Melbourne were at too.

Very beatable, the Swans. We should be confident. We've won 15 in a row. Should be a cracker
