Game Day Geelong V Adelaide Sun Aug 23 1 pm @ AO

[dazbroncos]

If ever there was a danger game...

We are near the top, they have been renamed the Owen Crows.... Oh-and-12 that is.

So naturally, we have 5 changes and whilst many are forced, we are not a settled 22 going into the game.

The ins are good, the outs will be missed.

But its a danger game. We have been anything but ruthless over the last few years - effective absolutely but not ruthless.

I just want to get the 4 points, play hard, direct at the ball footy, and get away with no injuries. If they respect the Crows as proper opposition and not a forgone conclusion, then we are good.

Take it easy and we'll get rolled.

Lets get them Owen 13

Go Catters

 

[MacStradbroke]

Hawkins to ragdoll their undersized backs, cats to win comfortably. Too well drilled at the moment and too many players fighting for spots for there to be any taking the foot off the gas.

 

[you pick one]

Max effort early put it out of reach by 1/4 time.Cats by heaps.

 

[allrighty]

Kolo to kick 6

 

[Cataholic]

Kolo to kick 6

 

[you pick one]

Kolo to kick 6

If he's not the one on the end of the cheap shot that will come from Big Tex early,interesting how he reacts to the criticism in his 200th,I'm expecting a vigorous start to this one.

 

[Grimoz]

If the weather in Adelaide is anything like Geelong then surely we cant play Sav, he cant mark on a dry day let alone freezing and wet, would like to swap for Fog.

No rain today. It wil lbe the first dry game sav has played in for 5 games

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I know it's good to be cautious prior to a game just in case the unthinkable happens. But Geelong will win this game comfortably.

Sav needs the work poured into him. Play him non stop

 

[winty]

All comes down to the attitude and mind-set we take into the game IMO. If we're as focused as we have been the last few games we should do this easy. If we come out complacent and just expecting it to happen, we might come unstuck.

Just need to look at yesterday's Port-Hawks game. On paper, Port should've won that by 10+ goals, but they only just snuck home.

We need to get a strong start and take the crowd out of it early.

 

[Drunkcat]

Predictions win lose or draw we will still have people saying why is Atkins in the side

Just like Kersten 2016 played him, played him and he gave us less and less and finaly dropped him rd 23 on the eve of finals never to be seen again.We need a plan B for Sav this year but we don't look like getting it, the die has been cast I expect it's now sink or swim again.

The presence, or absence, of complacency will determine the result.

Only because those people can't see what exactly it is that he does to justify his spot in the side.

Well he must be doing something that the club love or he would not be playing

 

[THE CAT WRANGLER]

Atlkins should be out for Narkle

 

[Grimoz]

Putting it out there that if we get rolled by the Crows today Scotty should hand in his resignation straight away, Crows havent even been close to anyone so we should be winning by 10 goals plus if we are serious.

 

[Grimoz]

Atlkins should be out for Narkle

It seems impossible to get Atkins dropped, his 2-3 possession games are obviously some of the best ever seen and he is therefore seen as a lock!!!

 

[you pick one]

Jack Steven is one I'll watch today to see what he does with and without the ball,to my eye he has been a bit stop and prop with it,hope he takes it on a bit more.

 

[winty]

Got a feeling he's in the side as a defensive forward to man up on the opposition's "quarterback" off half back and prevent them from waltzing out from their defensive 50. If he impacts the game offensively, it's a bonus.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

We'll see what our mindset is this year. If we come out breathing fire and blow the Crows away we're in this premiership right up to our eyeballs. If we come out with the mentality we'll win easy then ...

With a 9 day break there's no excuses not to win this by 40+. The Crows are a disaster on and off the field.

 

[catempire]

If we blast them, all well and good. But I will honestly be happy with four points and no injuries. We are doing well for percentage so don’t need this to boost it.
