You guys are in for a major flogging, can't wait

Come on, Bont, I think it's time to get off Big Footy and start properly preparing for the game. Your obsession with all things Bailey and his Cats is becoming a serious distraction.

Interesting return comment on a board which you've previously been warned for trolling on - guessing you may want some freedom to post during tomorrow night's game, if so you may want to think about whether or not you should take another effort around here...

I think this may actually be Luke Beverage in disguise!

Thanks for that link. Kolo's groin still giving him grief. 2 weeks more, then probably VFL. Sheesh.

Maybe, but not by you. Calm your farm mate, we're not Poort or Essendone.

I've already been giving it a major flogging since trade week last year.

For what it's worth, early in seasons I maintain a "wins against wins" ladder, which I think helps smooth out the effects of an early easy or hard fixture. Basically, you get one point for every game won by a team you defeated. It's crude and imperfect but I think a better indicator of form than the actual ladder in early rounds. Currently it looks like this:

Coll	40.5​
Geel	34​
Bris	33.25​
Gold	30.5​
Haw	25​
Adel	24.5​
WB	24.5​
GWS	24​
Freo	21​
Stk	21​
Melb	16.5​
Port	16.5​
Ess	15.5​
Syd	15.5​
Rich	11​
North	10.75​
Carl	9.5​
WCE	5​

So it does put the dogs a little lower. They'll be pumped for this one though and have played well against us in the last few years so I think that is what matters the most.

EDIT: couple of them were wrong. Updated.

In your rush to accuse a poster of hyperbole- You might have missed Zouz Kitty 's point - which was the press is manically bullshitting up the personal aspect, but Bevo is not. Neither is Bailey, who hid from the media at training and would not be engaged.
It's not rocket science that professional coaches and players are focused on the bigger picture, including the truth- that Smith is currently a thorn in the side of any opposition, our best player. Therefore we DO need to hope he handles any pressure.

I thought she was merely pointing out how the media have been trying to make a big deal out of it (and they have been)

Thank you Sam + Cattery

Yes, that was my point

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Priceless , so adorable ...........looks like the boys have a bit of talent

 

[Jeff76]

Who kicks the goals for the Doggies tomorrow night with Bews, Humphries, SDK, Henry, Zuthrie and possibly Stewart in defence? And who stops our forward line? I think they just win the midfield battle but that’s it. Cats by 23pts.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

When are our teams announced?

Naughton & West are going to be a handful.
Both have combined for 34 goals (Cameron & Stengle 38 goals).
We have a trump card in Dempsey who has been sensational with 17 goals.

You do wonder given how deep their midfield is, if Bontempelli will spend a lot of the time around the goals. I can see Stewart getting the job if that is the case.

 

[cats_09]

Ins: Stewart, Stanley & Clohesy
Outs: Bowes, Dangerfield & O'Sullivan

 

[fpm84]

Stewart, Stanley, Clohesy in.

Danger, Bowes, COS out.

 

[Strange Cat]

As expected

 

[Art Vandelay_]

COS needed a rest. Not surprised.

 

[cats_09]

Ted for sub
