Preview Round 10 - Geelong Cats v Port Adelaide Power, Simonds Stadium, Thursday 25th May 7:20pm

So Hinkley says young will come in for wingard as he was unlucky to be dropped. From what i have seen he was in poor form and monfries has been in form. Poor selection call from the coach. Young better play a blinder.

Monfries can't play in the middle ... thats the only reason i can see they went this way

You guys off the two week break should be in with a good shot here.
Geelong coming off a physical game last week.

It isn't that simple, truly.

I've heard some Port people already say they want to get into the ground a little later so they don't have to witness Geelong's 2007 premiership players parade and GF highlights package.

That's not going to intimidate me. I'll sit there and watch if I have to.

I'll be there and I don't give a **** what they do pre-game as I'll be busy watching highlights of the 2004 QF on you tube and stuffing my face with unhealthy food.

 

[Byrons Firen]

With Chad out we need another good game from Polly.........career best form?

And there it is. The good old "You only won because you had a longer break", or "lol you lost to a side that was clearly buggered" call.

As predictable a setup as "knock knock" and about half as clever.

 

[finbarr]

And it's a week and a half with an 11 hour plane flight added into it anyway.

 

[Steve Dore]

Too be fair, Geelong having to play in Geelong two weeks running must be hard on them.

When abouts are the umpire appointments usually released?

Hinkley: No tag for Dangerfield

Setting the stage. It's a survival mechanism. They'll be in tears by the end of the season.

 

[Sleezy]

Lonergan out will be interesting. Dixon on Henderson. Mackie and Bliczavs to Westhoff and Trengrove/Ryder.

 

[Powerade 08]

s**t selections - check
Opposition allowed to do whatever they want in the middle - check

I have a good feeling about this one.

 

[rogerjames]

Let's face it, if this scenario played out it would have been the single biggest fluke of a premiership in the history of the game.

We had a rag tag team of ageing stars and mediocre but enthusiastic and confident young players. We won nearly every close game we played, including consecutive last kick wins against fellow top four contenders late in the season. We finished 2nd with a record of 15-7, which is historically low but was enough to claim two home finals. We came from behind to beat West Coast by less than a kick in the QF with Cousins tearing his hamstring mid game and Judd literally limping around all night. The team we played in the PF was a team of honest triers who were expected to take out the wooden spoon pre season - and they played like it on the day.

Don't get me wrong, we played decent footy in 2007 and were probably the second best team in what was admittedly a weak year. But gee we rode our luck for 24 weeks and then got it all paid back in one big hit on grand final day.

Brilliant summation

 

[Alyx]

Win or lose, I just hope Pittard isn't seduced by Tom Ruggles' handsomely odd proportions and cancels contract talks.

lol Danger is going to scissor us. Ryder is again very important. If he isn't hitting our players with taps and they shark it, goodnight. If he can manage that though, it will go a long way to curbing the influence of Danger and Selwood.

 

[Ant Bear]

Hard tag=/=accountable opponent.
Ebert will have some responsibility for Dangerfield, and SPP and/or Wines will be briefed to take on Selwood. The question is, will the Geelong pair be as accountable?

 

[elpirate]

FFS Cam Guthrie is back that spud tears us apart every time!

None of this will matter because they'll have an extra player at each contest who will cut us up, Duncan or Guthrie or whoever.
