I'm with Mr Meow
We're being tested enormously ATM, but we've still got 16 premiership players + Holmes and Sav who are quality.
That should still be enough to see us though to the bye, and we'll re-assess from there.
It's understated how important Close, Stengle and Miers are as a trio to us, and we saw that last week. We just looked disjointed.
They essentially are THE system by themselves. It's their work getting up and down the ground that was so cruicial in our dominance last year.
It won't be easy over there, stronger Geelong sides than this one have lost over in Perth...but I still expect us to win this (and the next two)
Said it before, got a real '22 Cats, '19 Tigers feel about this group, and the relaxed nature of the club shows this.
With players back and a block of home games to come I have no doubt the club is preparing to come home with a winning streak, but we have to get to the bye in decent shape first....and I think we will.
Cats by 2-3 goals
I do agree with that-you only have to look at the eagles and tigers to see teams lose when they have injuries. If we can stay in the top 8 until thr bye we are doing well and we should then have 80 % of our injured guys back.
Our biggest issue this week will be ceglars tank on a bigger ground. But close and stengle are big ins as rohan will be when hes back.
