Unofficial Preview Cats V Hawks - Another Chapter in THE RIVALRY..

[Footy Smarts]

Changes from last time.

Geelong:
In - Narkle, Henderson, S Selwood, Duncan
Out - Z Guthrie, Gregson, Bews, Cockatoo

Hawthorn:
In - Nash, Frawley, Morrison, Worpel, Ceglar, Miles
Out - Rioli, Duryea, Sicily, McEvoy, Howe, O'Brien

Those changes easily favour us. Frankly if we can't win this we're not good enough to win the flag.

I know a lot more about footy than you. That’s for sure...... and I guarantee I’ve played at a much higher level than you as well.

You’re nothing more than a groupie.......a garden variety ‘teach’
I wouldn’t be surprised if you were him tbh

And here's me thinking that all this time you were an adult.

Any news on how Menzel has pulled up for today's training?

Been named so I'm hoping he plays.

Hahaha! It's still Casualty in England lol

Yes! A&E is also excellent!

Just no American terms, like ED

I am on a crusade to keep English spelling + terms!

It's Defence FFS! Not Defense!
Defence!!!

It's Practise FFS! When you practise goal kicking!
It's Practice FFS! When you refer to a medical practice!

"Off of" FFS! Give me strength! It's either off or from!

Americans shorten the spelling of words + then add redundant words!
Horse Back Riding ??? What? As opposed to Horse Tail Riding? Or Horse Ear Riding? Horse Neck Riding? Horse Front Riding?

Oh dear God!!! You've started me off on a rant Nickoo

 

[Nickoo]

Cockatoo has, on 3 occasions, taken 2 contested marks in a game, and averages 1 every 2 games.
Parsons doesn't take any.
They each average a near identical 4.1 contested possessions per game.
Which means, of course, that Parsons actually wins more contested balls at ground level than Cockatoo.

Cockatoo is a myth.

Wondering if Menzel might be a late out?

Would be great if he played, will improve his form.

Rioli played last time?

Can't remember seeing him out on the field

If only Crameri was fit... Perfect replacement.. .
So who will be our traditional late out/in for this week?

 

[FredLeDeux]

Why?

 

[Nickoo]

Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of rain in the morning, showers in the afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon with possible hail. Light winds becoming west to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h in the early afternoon.

He'll blow Scotty Selwood up in the first quarter you will need a better plan than just Scott Selwood.

?Rotating tags- SS, Guthrie, Murdoch(if Menzel is out),O'Connor etc.

You articulate yourself like someone with a very limited brain capacity, and this is you after time and consideration to think behind a keyboard. I can’t imagine what you produce when you haven’t got all day to pause and type.

When your own club supporters sit there and laugh and cringe at all of your footballing opinions, maybe it’s time to stop and reflect on your own knowledge before attacking a poster who has about 5x your knowledge and capacity who Geelong supporters actually respect unlike yourself.

Either Menzel or Stanley ???

I'm so disappointed that Abbott isn't playing, I'd like to see how we play with two Rucks.

Geez we'd love that rain here on the NSW Northern Tablelands, no grass just soil up here, really bad for the sheep + cattle, nothing to eat.

How are Hawks playing in the wet?

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Need to fix our own kick outs too - can't just rely on the old "kick it long and hope for the best" like we have the last 7 years.

Fixed*

I am pleased that they have included Parsons for this all-important game. They clearly rate his attributes, and no matter what tantrums we read here about his selection, some of you blokes need to pull your heads in and give these blokes a fair go. Having a dig at young players is not humorous or edifying for anyone and reflects poorly on the instigator. Whether it is Parsons, the Guthries, Murdoch, Stanley, Buzza, Abbott- when these blokes ARE selected the selectors have much more knowledge than we do.

They sure do - just look at all the great decisions playing the one and only Billy Smedts for years and years. Also appreciate them putting in Parsons, OConnor, Zuthrie against the Hawks last time - that worked out really well didn't it. I can pretty much guarantee if they put in some more experience we would have won that game comfortably. Zuthrie on Roughead was the move of the match for me.

Smedts did not get enough games imho.
Who would you played instead of that trio back then?

 

[Hello Kitty]

There have been some puerile p!**ing contests in this thread!

Come on guys, we are better than lowering ourselves to petty disputes against one another.

We are Geelong!

We play the game as it should be played!

 

[Vdubs]

Why?

The "Mr. " part threw me.

2 greats think a like lol. It doesn't matter if it's wet.. Footy grounds aren't like 25 years ago when they were mud baths.. . The ground just holds together so well, that's why I reckon we can still play 2 Ruckman tomorrow

O'Connor played a half-decent game, Parsons got a couple of goals, and Zuthrie wasn't moved on to Roughead.

Need any more help with useful info, as distinct from kneejerk contrarian bs?

I hope your joking... If not that is very funny
