Preview Geelong Cats Vs Adelaide Crows KP Sat Sept 5 1:05pm

[JUBJUB]

Also a big f*** you to the Geelong Advertiser who are determined to further embarrass us all this week.

They are running a campaign giving out stickers with #comehomepaddy on them

*facepalm.gif*

It's just a bit of fun and a pissing contest with the Adelaide Advertiser.They should've done signs so people could hold them up at the footy on saturday.

seriously? thats pathetic.

 

[cats2rise]

IN: GHS, Kersten, Stokes (farewell), Smedts
OUT: Lang, Walker, Gregson, Someone

To retire:
Stokes, Kelly, Simpson
Bartel, SJ and Mackie should go on.

So do we want to win or lose this one

Even if they did try to win, we aren't beating Adelaide. We simply aren't good enough and our 3-7 record against top eight teams indicates this.

Either way, we get an easier fixture and now also shift a couple of places up in the draft.

 

[Mahlepi]

Pd will be rested

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Pd will be rested

Good thing for them (rest up for finals) and us (stops the crowd embarrassing all Geelong supporters).

 

[Mahlepi]

Simpson, stokes, Cowan, gore, in
Lang, vardy, gregson, Menzel rested

 

[geelong_boy]

No point hiding him.He could just as easily do his knee in pre-season training.

You can't put the guy in cotton wool. As JJ rightly points out the knee could go anytime. Just let the kid play.

Der-Wayne reckons there is a campaign from Cats fans to applaud every Danger touch...

Where on earth is he getting that from? More chance of the media embarrassing Geelong supporters than the supporters themselves doing it

Adelaide have only beaten 2 top 8 sides.

 

[Daniel McL]

If we want the youth to have a taste for AFL:

In: Gore, Jansen, Horlin-Smith & Cowan.
Out: Kelly, Bartel, Lang & Gregson (rests).

If we want to say farewell to some of our older guys (which I prefer):

In: Stokes
Out: Lang
Bartel, Kelly around the ball for old times sake (gonna lose anyway so) & then Stokes & Mackie on the wings.

 

[GFrost]

Adelaide's wins have come against: North, Pies, Melbourne, Gold Coast, St Kilda, Carlton, Brisbane, Port, Gold Coast, Richmond, Essendon, Brisbane.

They've played some good footy and some ordinary footy.

Dear God no….

insert office gif of Steve Carell screaming NO NO NO here…

Go Catters

 

[Johanpetro]

Would be good to see the Crows bring in Pods to farewell his old teammates and also play his last game where he started, a chance for the fans to farewell him too

 

[Teriyakicat]

I think they know the situation.

Yep. Right- the horse appears to have bolted and nobody can find the stable door.

 

[Seeds]

It will be interesting on how adl see this game now, regardless of what happens w their result today v the eags. Knowing they are in, will their mind be off the job. And how will our boys be.....hopefully not like friday night ?

Could be playing for a home final now. Think they will give their all if results go a certain way on Friday night.

You used to have such optimism

 

[Teriyakicat]

I'd put Menz on ice. No point risking him. He is an important part of the future.

Must admit I'm a bit torn- hope the decision is taken out of the MC's hands. Menz has said that he has a lot of pain on his knees in the days immediately after a game. I think I know what he'd like to be doing but his body may deny him the chance.

 

[Lana]

I think playing another game does more for Menzel's mental health than any risk of injury. If there was any elevated chance of him injurying himself he wouldn't have played in the first place.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

In GHS Cowan Smedts Stokes(farewell game)
Outs Don't know.... don't care?

??

 

[Lana]

Do care, depends on what the club wants to get out the game.

He's a fair chance for a farewell game. Kicked a shitload of goals, got plenty of the ball and probably career- high marks.

 

[Catatonic Shock]

You just can't make decisions based on what COULD happen, he's fit now, he looks confident (or atleast comfortable) so just play him and treat him like any other player on the list.

Yep it would be nice for him to play a game that wasn't over by quarter time too. Last week wasn't really a real game considering how poorly we played.

 

[JUBJUB]

He's a fair chance for a farewell game. Kicked a shitload of goals, got plenty of the ball and probably career- high marks.

He might get in if the MRP look at the incident with Walker & McGovern that has buggered McGovern's shoulder.
