Game Day Geelong vs Bulldogs, Friday 18 June GMHBA @ 7:50pm

[Tackle_happy]

Can someone please tell me how narkle replaces lachie henderson?

All bloody week ive been told how narkle cant replace any of dalhaus, menegola, close, atkins because they play different positions and the team cant be rejigged around.


So how the hell does he replace henderson?

He doesn't.

Conditions warrant his inclusion. As does Martin being out.

This is not a like for like moment.

 

[catempire]

You suggesting the Cats had advanced knowledge of the Dogs late change.

Possibly. Or more likely just didn’t see a matchup for Hendo and we have Blicavs if we need him back there.

 

[cats_09]

Hopefully we kick the first 6 this time!!!!

As long as we then don't stop after that

 

[Turbocat]

Don’t know about you Seeds but Narkle better f’n perform tonight after we’ve pumped up his tyres the past fortnight…

If he can match what he was doing recently he will do more than ample. Some times you you get more appreciated the less you play. Watching the VFL. , we really do not want to lose Narkle

 

[Chinacats]

The three people thinking Narkle needs to show a bit more to be a certainty will be only too happy to see him star.
Won't we?

I’m all for sparkle but Scott isn’t convinced yet. As for Rata well Scott is convinced no one else is!

 

[you pick one]

Well that's Krock gone.Off to fox

 

[Chinacats]

Cats are stacking the midfield. I like it! Seems will be all out attack, because dogs are suspect in defence!
Could argue we are suspect in defence now too.
But I like the mentality!

You suggesting the Cats had advanced knowledge of the Dogs late change.

Anyone else feel uneasy whenever we pull these late changes..? If it really is a tactical move in reaction to the dogs or the weather or whatever, it'll be another face-plant like QF 2019

 

[Grimoz]

As long as we then don't stop after that

We can stop if they only kick 5

 

[Reppie]

Lets go guys...prove your worth.

 

[Grimoz]

The importance of this game cant be understated, we win and it possibly puts us 2 games and % clear in the 4, with Brisbane next week its a must win.

Narkle at FB?

 

[Down at K Park]

Yes, this is the first time in history a team has made a tactical late change in wet weather

It’s not wet though. And shouldn’t rain during the match. At best you could say it might be a touch slippery.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Higgins as the sub, surprised Zuthrie didn't get the call

Cause he’s crap. Let’s not beat around the bush here.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Everyone worried about our small defence. Other end sees Hawkins v Ryan Gardner. Serious, say that out loud TOM HAWKINS V RYAN F@#KIN GARDNER!!!!

 

[Chinacats]

Nick Riewoldt suggesting Selwood head to head with libba and O’Connor to bont. Not bad theory that one!

It was greasy in the VFL. Will be worse after dark.

I will be.

 

[cats_09]

4 long sleeved hoop guernseys tonight

 

[Boxhead_31]

Interesting that the decided not move Blitz back and bring in a ruck..either Stanley or Fort. I guess we we will see if our on ball group can win enough to cover the backline

Both were playing in the VFL when they made the call on Hendo so was a bit too late

 

[Play it Sam]

Welcome back Cam Guthrie. Go well.
I've picked you for first goal.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Notice the 26 warming up with the midfield

Another swifty? O'Connor and Blicavs in the backs? I'm assuming Kolo is there.
