Game Day Round 6 - Flag unfurling in GF rematch: Geelong vs Sydney, 22 April, 7:25pm @ HOME (KP)

[dazbroncos]

Real litmus test this one.

We go 3-3 after 6 and we’re in a good spot - not great - but good enough.

2-4 however makes a long road longer. Not impossible.. but still

They will be ready after the GF last year… we are both suffering injuries and missing best 24 players.

It’s on our deck… the Flag gets rolled out which will be good for the punters and let’s hope it’s gets in their head a bit too..

Horse will have them ready.

Our mids will be the key - deny them first use and their depleted back line will struggle under repeat entries. But if we play like millionaires and let them get going it will bite us and they do well at KP.

Nod to Tomma passing Boris 333 games.

Let’s get the 4 points and no injuries and move on.

Go Catters

Still thinking late change and Simpson to get his first game for a long time…which is great given how long a road back it has been.

Also if Simpson is the team (I thought he would be sub) I reckon they might surprise with Knevitt as sub (Parf and Tanner not really suited)

Crikey, 90 minutes extra to get home to Melbourne makes it a long night, especially if you still have to head out to the suburbs.

Also this:

Changes at South Geelong Station

And in particular this:
Due to level crossing removal works at Deer Park, coaches are replacing all Geelong line trains for the entire journey between Southern Cross and Waurn Ponds.

So it's not just upgrades to South Geelong station, it's also buses from Melbourne to Waurn Ponds. Very bad timing!

Extra 90 mins each way in fact.

Apparently the level crossing removal authority didn’t know about the footy season.

A couple of chances for individual Cats today Jazza needs to annihilate Roby Fox and set that record straight and with no Bews a chance for someone to keep Papley in some sort of check around goals,that I think will fall to a couple of our boys.

Win and NO INJURIES damnit

 

[cats_09]

Posted elsewhere, but I hope we see this shown on the big screen before the flag unfurling tonight

The players don’t get to see the flag unfurling… a bit weird!

Bus only took about 75 mins southern cross to geelong station. Pretty good considering. Hopefully the way back will be as good but not holding my breath

That might not be a bad thing I was there in 2008 we hoisted the 2007 flag rd 3 v Melbourne and the Cats were out on the ground for that but started the game as flat as a s**t carters hat it's a while back but I reckon we gave the Dee's 4 or 5 goals start we won the game but not sure we can afford to give the Swans that sort of start this evening.

While that is advertised, they'll probably have a bunch of express buses going straight to Southern cross

Weren't far off. Dees got out to a 3 goal lead halfway through the first term before we got into gear.

That 2008 team summed up Melbourne. On paper the team looked perfectly capable. Yet they finished last with 3 wins and a percentage of 62.6. That makes them one of the worst teams in modern history with a team that should've pushed for finals.

Any heads up on the late outs?
