Prediction Changes v Cats

[adam10]

Oh god, Harry Taylor is going to **** us up again, isn't he. I'm tired of that show.

Actually couldn't believe it happened again the last time we played them I was just so puzzled. A Geelong fan actually came up to me and said teams have done so well dragging him away from contents and making sure he doesn't get the opportunity to create 2 on 1's, yet we let him play loose ))))

 

[doggies ftw]

Watch us come out firing and play some 2015 like footy

Cool. How'd we go against the Cats last year?

Someone remind me of that win at Geelong, early 2000s, we were miles Behind and came back... Memory hazy but ahhhh that was a great day to be alive.

Yer I remember that. I was there that day. We were down 5/6 goals early and if i recall, Bubba Smith kicked a monster from about 60m out on the run. After that we kicked goal after goal in the second quarter. Ended up winning by about 4 goals.

 

[Igloo]

You live close, go **** him up.

Ok, i'll be back soon.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Ok, i'll be back soon.

Just don't stare into those crazy eyes of his.

 

[stefoid]

Great to see Cordy playing.

Assume Hamling will play forward.

Expecting three quarters of banging our head against a wall and one quarter of true suffering. In no particular order.

Hopefully Bad Geelong turns up and we sneak a win.

Yeah, Hamling. Against his old side. Forward would be good. I hope he kills it.

 

[Cudi]

I've got the same feeling as immortalmike and I don't really know why.

Normally today's selections would shake my optimism but it hasn't.

 

[dogwatch]

If Stringer wimps out I will spew up

Wallace said this 20 yrs ago today July 28 1996

Wow, that's harsh! Stringer was only 2 years old at the time. Give the kid a break, Terry.

 

[Fossie 32]

P

If they win 4 and we win one it will be very close
And I wasn't saying we were in trouble in terms of missing the 8 only I just think the injuries are now going to smash us.
We have been brave but I'm not sure we have much left unfortunately
Hope I'm wrong I really do but o saw some really worrying things from the boys when I was at club on Sunday. They looked defeated for the first time this year and

It's understandable they would have been pretty gloomy on Sunday but hopefully Bev will have got their minds in a better place fairly quickly

Only his 655th

Apparently Jong will be a late out. Hrovat in as captain/coach

 

[Mattdougie]

Apparently Jong will be a late out. Hrovat in as captain/coach

Won't matter

 

[Braybrook Son]

Adcocks been picked as a non playing coach.

Ah, but he is playing!

 

[Braybrook Son]

Apparently Jong will be a late out. Hrovat in as captain/coach

Can Jong just stay on the bench a-la the old days, where he won't come on until last quarter?

 

[Braybrook Son]

Chris Grant was playing then. We don't have Chris Grant anymore!

 

[The Inbetweener]

Would love to see the average age differential on this one. Would have to go close to being one of the bigger differences of any game this year

 

[Braybrook Son]

Seriously, the only thing we've got going for us this week, is we haven't lost two in a row all year!

 

[Spectre]

Chris Grant was playing then. We don't have Chris Grant anymore!

That's right. Now we have The Bont.

 

[Braybrook Son]

That's right. Now we have The Bont.

I think we'd lose with Superman this week mate!

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Really wish we'd bite the bullet and play the two ruckman. Roughy plays his best when he is the second ruck and it wouldn't hurt to have an enforcer type in the middle. Hopefully when Campbell is fit he can come straight back in. Doesn't look like Will will get another chance.

Don't think we'd lose much replacing one of Jong/Dunkley/Stevens with another big. Not sure there is room for two of them let alone all three.

Would've preferred Webb to come in instead of Adcock also but can understand why they made that choice given the experience put this week.

Don't have any confidence this week but hopefully we can stay competitive. Let's hope we put a body on Dangerfield this week instead of letting the opposition's best player have whatever they want every week. Since the bye we've let Parker, Martin and Steven have huge games against us.

Couple of positives to finish on. Happy to see Cordy in for his first games this year, he's really impressed me in the few times I've seen him play. Can see him spending a bit of time on Menzel which would be a big challenge for him. Also great to see Dahl back, he's been missed in the middle.

Let's just all pray for no more injuries regardless of the result.

 

[Spectre]

I think we'd lose with Superman this week mate!

Didn't we just get Superman? As our CEO? Anyway, Bont > Superman. Hopefully...

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Poor kicking skills?
The inability to lay a tackle?
Poor positioning?
Edit: I forgot, the inability to keep his feet in a contest?

He doesn't position poorly at all. He's a little slower than he used to be so doesn't get to an A1 position to receive but that not why he's there. His defensive positioning and structure is really good and his direction and instruction is terrific.

 

[murphy2bedabest]

Won't matter

Can he just go out and try and take out as many cats players as he can, get suspended for the rest of the season and head to the Holden centre for an early preseason
