Definitely agree with this. Would love to see Tommy Stewart crunch Lynch.

And anyone crunch Cotchin who is due to be hit by the Karma bus.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Noticed there’s a few posters missing this week. Let’s hope we don’t hear from them for the rest of the year.

I wouldn’t feel bad for him if he was knocked out cold.

 

[51niwstac]

Has anyone actually seen a statement for the 1st Semi from the MRO? I've checked and can't find anything.

Gary Ablett does his best Alastair Lynch impersonation

Haven't seen anything? Maybe there was nothing reportable?

Reckon Dasher Milburn could pull on the socks for one last hurrah?

 

[ChookNorris]

Footy pundits seem convinced Danger needs to start forward this week. I’m not so sure. Bris have an amazing midfield, but a small one, he ripped them to pieces last time on ball. They score well from centre clearance, our weakest position of defence. Can’t afford to get jumped.

Last time:

AFL Tables - Brisbane Lions v Geelong - Sat, 18-Sep-2004 7:30 PM - Match Stats

Probably been mentioned millions of times. but I just realised if saints won last week these finals would have been the replications of 2004 prelim finals. Richmond just have a knack of spoiling things. Thanks for indulging me on something you all realised ages ago.

I thought the Tiges/Saints was called the 2nd Semi, even though it was played first. I mean the Cats/Pies Statement, I haven't seen anything that ofdicially says 'All Clear, nothing to report'.

 

[51niwstac]

Yeah, I mean I suppose, but don't they and shouldn't they send out an official statement saying 'no incidents to report'?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

cats by 24.. Brisbane may be so nervous they make errors and cats experience will take advantage..

How will they be nervous? They just rolled the reigning premiers in a final.
They will highly confident, not nervous.

Oh, yeah I don't think they looked at anything for our game.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

watch the enire 4 seasons of Cobra Kai and go out and strike first strike hard and take no prisoners! LOL

sorry i just had ot be an idiot for a second...

But yes.. play hard and confident footy... cant let BL get up and about as they will run forward of the ball and if they get that... we are in Barney. So play harder straight line 1%er footy and keep it off them. Make them change their play to match ours.

Fagan is a cagey and experienced bloke and will have them ready.

GO Catters

Haha just finished season 2.
Gotta love Johnny.

Well they need a dose of their own medicine. An arrogant bunch, who are trained to play on the edge, Cotchin deliberately tackles to hurt, Lynch continues to act like a tough guy with cheap hits, they’re always giving away 50’s, Dimma doesn’t care so the players don’t.

wouldn’t mind Port, who play very physical as well, hit em between the eyes this Friday.

A bit like Stanley, start him on ball and let him drift forward. Create havoc at key moments. We need to have the timing spot on, as overwhelming them in midfield (where they are no chums) is essential for Geelong victory. Duncan and Guthrie are so important, as is the fierce and combative style of Joel Selwood. If these guys can step up as they did last week, we have the luxury of moving Dangerfield forward (at times).

Totally agree - we will go with a big bodied midfield early to hit em hard and tire em out. Danger Joel and Cam G at the start. The key as Scott said tonight is win the ball in the midfield. Then Danger can exploit mid v forward based on how the game is going.

Dahlhaus straight to him?

Dont mind that.

Rich can go to water under a tag.
If the tagger does a good job.

Someone here mentioning karate kid. That tackle from Cotchin was some kind of experienced martial arts manoeuvre. Swept the leg, held the neck, pivoted around and dropped his weight to roll Jones over his body, gave a bit of a flick or shove to release. Think he even managed to grind his face with the other hand a bit on the way down. Really probably should have been referred to the tribunal for a thorough review.

I’d pay to see that

 

[The Casey Cat]

I've liked Bews' development as a running defender and think he should continue playing that role. He's our most improved player this year and it's as a result of a little more freedom.

So have I but not this week. Bews to wear Cameron like a glove. O'Connor also provides increasingly good run and rebound anyhow.

Why ?

I read it somewhere - maybe on this forum - or was it Mick McGuane excellent preview of the game - that Dangerfield spent 86% of game time against Coll - playing deep forward - but you want him in the centre

Id play him exactly how they played him against Coll - Dangerfield Rohan ( hope he keeps marking like that ) Hawkins - plus Stanley drifting forward - Ablett and Miers crumbing - all good

Yea I agree with Wallet. The bye before finals causes the next bye QF winners get to potentially be a massive PITA.

What I found interesting on Saturday night is that Dangerfield went into the middle during the last quarter, was there for a couple of centre bounces & it's when Collingwood kicked those 3 goals in a row

Not saying i wouldn't chuck him into the middle, but he was a dangerous player up forward, made the defenders accountable and others stood up when it was their turn in the middle
