Hahaha talk about going early.
6 month preview thread

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Kersten to kick six.

 

[Lana]

So who matches up on the traitor

 

[catstorm]

So who matches up on the traitor

Making the assumption he makes their team, wouldn't surprise me if the see what a spud he is and leave him in the reserves.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Battle to kick 3.1 on debut.
Cats by about 6 goals.

 

[year of the cat]

Freo by 4 goals

 

[TEDDY24INC]

Tough game first up

 

[TEDDY24INC]

But really we should win

Where is the fixture?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Kersten - no goals but elite running patterns

 

[The Unforgiven]

I remember the last game between Danger and Fyfe when they went head to head. It was an epic contest within an epic contest. Since then, both have become Brownlow medalists. A fit Fyfe going head to head with Danger promises to be epic once more. This should be a great game of footy.

 

[Jeff76]

Barlow BOG for Cats

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Hawkins vs Hamling should be a great matchup for Geelong when Hawkins was on trade radio they asked about how it was matching up on Hamling at training Hawkins didn't have anything positive he could say about him. Hawkins to kick 8 Black kick 6 Kersten to play a good defensive game

 

[STP18]

Kersten to keep Tuohy to 28 touches.

 

[fpm84]

Am reasonably confident and reasonably happy with this round one fixture. Freo will likely have up to half a dozen new faces in the team (Hill, McCarthy, Bennell, Kersten, Hamling) so it's a good time to get them, and more importantly get a road trip out of the way early.

 

[Daniel McL]

First Goal - Menzel
Last Goal - McCarthy
Most Touches - Menegola
Most Goals - Menzel/Hawkins
Most Marks - Kolodjashnij
Most Tackles - Scooter

 

[leorex]

first up

Can we assume that after playing Freo on Sunday in week 1 that week 2 will be a 6-day break against GWS in either Sydney or Canberra?

You're more than welcome to start a preview thread for that game

I would bet the farm on a Canberra game next year.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Cunico to make his debut after starring in the NAB challenge.

Bullies on Friday night at ES!

Gives them 7 days break, and us 5 after a road trip.

Seems fair.
