Hostile opposition home ground.

CS all fired up about defending Sel from Clarko fake news crap.

Talk about it here.

GO Catters

What does Smith MIA mean? Is he playing reserves?

I think he should be in the 22...

And hes not.

So IMO, hes MIA.

GO Catters

Is he playing reserves?

Our VFL team has a "bye" this weekend.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Still reckon Henry will be a late out.

 

[sauron256]

I'm hopeful Scooter will be a late in, although if so I'm tired of the funny buggers we are attempting to play in selection each week.

 

[STPer18]

Reckon Scott plays for sure. Doubt they would have flown him up there to be just an emergency. If the 22 was locked in barring late injury they would have brought Murdoch instead.

Now watch me be spectacularly wrong in a few hours.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Scotty said they were taking two extras over on the flight. Hopefully it is smith and house/gardner

 

[cats_09]

Off topic but on someone that was discussed on the last page of the now closed thread:
- the Rosanne revival has been renewed for a second season already
- both Beckys were reported to be back, but no idea how that works

Not into todays match

 

[romeohwho]

Excited and feeling lucky. Geelong in a close one. Comon Geelong.

I doubt we would be taking extra players over that aren't in the emergencies, unless they have family in Perth - so Duncan might have been on the charter even though he won't be playing

A tweet in the previous thread suggested that Cunico and S.Selwood were the two emergencies making the trip over.

 

[cats_09]

First goal: Hawkins
Last goal: Danger
Most goals: Hawkins
Most marks: Stewart
Most tackles: Scooter (if late inclusion), otherwise Menegola as he needs to pull his finger out after last week
Most disposals: J. Selwood

Cats by 19

 

[Turkey Tom]

Hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.

On Roseanne...Network wouldn't dare not renew it, she is a vocal Trump supporter.

A tweet in the previous thread suggested that Cunico and S.Selwood were the two emergencies making the trip over.

No, scott said because there was not a reserves game they would be taking two extras over and above the emergencies

 

[Larry Donohue]

Clearly stated they were taking two extras over the emergencies

Smith is in Geelong. My mate Saw him yesterday arvo at a cafe.

There will be a late change for sure. We haven’t gone in unchanged for years.

 

[cats_09]

Most likely Duncan & Taylor if it's two that aren't in the 26 man squad - the two that are from Perth

Let them see their families

 

[Pack Specialist]

Stewart>Darling

Kolo>Waterman

Blicavs>Lycett/Natanui

Bews>LeCras

Z.Guthrie>Ryan

Tuohy>Redden

Would be my preferred matchups.

Where has this idea come from - seems a common idea on here but not sure there's really a basis for it

 

[James1970]

No sure if it's been mentioned, but this will be the 10th Anniversary of the 'salad roll game' - without doubt, one of the greatest performances we will ever see from the Geelong Football Club.



While we won't reach those heights today (no team could), may we celebrate those magical times with a sold win today.

 

[Matthew Jelley]

Ahhhh game day, finally we are here.
Fairly confident we can get the win and that is no.1 priority but I'd also like to see a bit more from this game.
- some cohesion in the backline that includes plenty of spoiling and intercept marking from blicavs, kolo,stewart and henry along with play being set up with purpose from defense with some run and carry.
- menzel to continue to be given some space and carry on his great form.
Esava and Hawkins can get up the ground and take some marks from hf to wing to open up and one of them run hard into the opposite pocket to menzel, make mcgovern and barass brass accountable.
- Stanley to do SOMETHING to warrant his selection over Smith, have a crack and play to strengths.
- some more avenues to goal that can be a consistent option moving forward.
- a meaningful contribution from cockatoo and gregson, the returning from injury excuse is invalid if picked in the side l

Go cats!!
