Analysis Eagles or Cats

[Tiger Toffee]

As i just said in the oppo thread, couldn't give a continental about who wins tonight because in 7 days time we are going to the Grand Final.

 

[BF Tiger]

I love the thought of the Cats going out in straight sets but I also love the thought of knocking the Cats out ourselves in a prelim at the 'G with Dusty starring and Dangerfield clangering.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

As long as we don't have to play BL's for a third time!

 

[BF Tiger]

Imagine playing them in the GF and beating them for the third time in a month. More broken than Adelaide!

 

[DerpWerls]

I hope we get to demolish the Eagles in a prelim. The WCE supporters are supremely confident and seem to be looking ahead to another GF against Collingwood.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Stupid draw...play a side once through the year so they can have a soft run into Finals...then get bored watching us beating the same weak side three times!
Great TV spectacle...

Cats, the rain saved us against the eagles it won't rain for the prelim

I've read many times people saying that the rain saved us... I disagree... We were storming back in the second qtr in fine conditions and for an unforgivable miss by Castagna trying to kick around the corner from in front we would've only been behind by 4 points at the half after a shocking start.
The rain came during the half time break and we controlled the game after that... the Eagles came back hard at the end and we only hung on by a goal.

Agree with pb74, we were well in control before the rains came.

 

[Mile High Tiger]

Willie Rioli, Chris Scott, Charlie Cameron, Jordan DeGoey...

 

[Drofder]

Don’t care. Maybe...probably....Eagles. But I think Geewhinge win tonight. In fact, pretty confident.

At this stage of the season it doesnt really matter imo - any side can beat any side if they have a good day and/or if the other side is even slightly off. All I care about is that we play at or very near our best and the rest will take care of itself

Always this. If we are good enough on the night then we are in another Grand Final!!

Cagles

 

[SA Tiger RVZ]

Who gives a *! Play our best we beat either.

 

[Tiges1229]

Yep pretty simple equation play to our best ability and we win. Hopefully the psychs down at the club have players in good head space , worst worst possible thing our players could do is start thinking of last years prelim in a negative light .

Surely a piss take?

The Eagles CAN be unbeatable on a day.

They can also be dissapointing. See last game against Hawthorn and a few other during the year.

I dont want a week of anxiety as to which one is going to show up.

(We also owe the Cats some floggings to make up for the ones Ive seen us on the wrong end of.)

I think it was more coincidental as we are a good team and good teams always come back when jumped.

Thier accuracy also inflated how much they outplayed us in that dry first quarter.

But we did look better when the ball got slippery and doesnt mean we cant match then in the dry.

Going to be a lot of rain next Friday

Doesn't matter to me.
To win a premiership you have to beat good sides.

 

[Coach_Required]

Doesn't matter IMO

If it's the Cats at the G we are already in their heads

If it's Eagles at the G then there will be 75K-80K Richmond supporters and 15K eagles fans max.

Good luck Eagles.

We turned it on in the second when it was dry. We should’ve been up at half time.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Eagles are a better team. They like the G. SO I'd want the Cats cause they'd be a bit easier.

And the other big thing is that it'd cause a meltdown in Catland. That'd be just so awesome to see.

 

[Grockadoc]

Geelong. They were in great form when they played us mid year, but have been trash for the best part of 10 weeks now. They are a different side now to the one they were pre round 14.

This. Please let it be the Cats so I can wear my Tigers merch around Geelong just to see the salty handbag tears.

We won in 2017 so there will be no gremlins, just listen to Astbury replying to the journos asking about last year, he was like " * really guys, move on that was last year "
