V Geelong

[SpecialBruce]

As you all know we've won all games against Geelong since the merger. So we have dominated them.

But there are some interesting stats.

At the Gabba our average winning margin against them is 46.8 points.

Down in Geelong our average winning margin against them is 41.4 points

All up in the 10 games we've played since 1997, our average winning margin against them is 44.1 points.

Our highest winning margin has been 69 points down in Geelong and 50% of our wins have been more than 50 points. With 60% of those wins being at the Gabba.

So it all shapes as a good week this week. After our win against Essendon, hopefully the boys continue that form on and keep this record going along smoothly and healthy.

The weather may be a factor. Wind, rain, sleet and the possibility of snow in the hills. Slight exaggeration. Top temp. of 11 degrees though.

I've been to several games at Kardinia and it always seemed to be sunny even though a bit brisk. I think this has something to do with our stunning margins?

Might be a bit harder this year. Cat's are looking alright. I've been down there the last three years running and it seems to be getting closer each year.

It's always blowy down there so I think you need to really run the ball hard and protect the ball carrier more than usual. Trying to pinpoint long passes is pretty hard.

B Scott in for Corrie by the looks of things. Fly and Harty won't come up they say.

Yeah we've done pretty well down at Geelong! I'd expect that to continue today, however the weather is a worry!

And to all the brave souls who are braving the conditions, I admire you all. VERY brave indeed.
