What is the team doing this weekend?

[Poetic Justice]

What would be the preparation this weekend?

I know it's no untold story about Geelong's inability to perform to full potential the week following a bye so I wonder what is being done differently this week.

They say it's about freshening up... it could also be a union driven break negotiated by the AFLPA but one would have to wonder that if the team has history in failing in these circumstances what is being done?

Now, perhaps the AFLPA might forbid the club in a ruling sense from doing too much but the players themselves would have to be of the opinion that something needs to be done to guarantee things are on track. Would they not come together as a collective to say amongst themselves, "Right, we're in control of our destinies here. Let's work out how we are going to deal with this week off and give us our best chance."

So many stories are told about teams or individuals who go far and beyond to ensure success.. I implore the Cats to do what they can to place themselves in the history books for the right reasons.

I remember my times as an athlete at school. When you reach a certain level of talent alot comes down to simply who wants it more. On the day you all want it the same. It comes down to who wanted it the most 1,2,3 months ago and put in the work to make it happen. I agree, it might be out of the clubs hands this weekend, but if the players want it they will be doing everything they can to make it happen. That is how you achieve. (For the record, I didn't want it enough)

 

[Micksy]

Ablett said they'd be doing match simulation this weekend.

 

[Max Milburn]

I suspect a few will go along and watch the Bankers.

Home trying to make babies

 

[you pick one]

Home trying to make babies

Now there's an off season thread,we'd have all sorts of approaches to that task in the side, ranging from Danger just bursting out of the shower like bull at a gate to Harry Taylor analyzing the Kamasutra, and big Hawk playing from behind.

[dazbroncos]

On the sesh at Lambys.

Im all for players doing things on their own time...

however.... for the next 5 weeks... id hope staying off the piss in public would be pretty self explanatory

GO Catters

 

[Grimoz]

Well i dont know about all the players but Danger is possibly going fishing with Cameron this weekend....looked very chummy last night at the AA.

 

[Down at K Park]

Match simulation tomorrow night.

 

[dazbroncos]

Match simulation tomorrow night.

this will go one of 2 ways.

If we get a Jordan Clark result... "Why the * are going so hard"
If we get blown off in the first 1/4 in QF - "why the * didnt we go harder in week off"

Hiding to nothing at this point.

but ill take the no injuries this weekend and week at training..
and head over it first to the ball and 5 goals up at 1/4 time on Friday.

They simply have to stay match ready. Too many times we have come out in holiday mode and aren’t switched on, and been blown away before we know what the hell just happened.

We supporters have nightmares about it happening again.

 

[JohnZ]

Heavy training load hopefully.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Heavy training load hopefully.

But the heavy training load has been to blame for the past 12 weeks of form. I thought now would be the time to come off the heavy training load.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Whatever we've done the last 5 years?
Don't do that.

 

[patience]

Whatever we've done the last 5 years?
Don't do that.

You read my mind.

Celebrating Jack Henry's 21st?

 

[TomsBulgingDisc]

If they do match sim, will they lose to themselves so as to keep the current form line going?

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Save that for after we win the granny!!!!

Hmm, GILF videos as a marital aid. Could work for some

 

[Grimoz]

Well they have apparently been training for a heavy load....

 

[Grimoz]

Just keep ******* Zac Smith away from Clark!!!!

 

[BotsMaster]

I'm sure whoever is watching their social media accounts will know what they're up to.

Don't do that.

This bye pre finals has not existed for the last 5 years , iirc.
The whole bye thing before finals is over the top.
The reason we lost those games is the teams we played were simply better than us.
We might be poor after the h & a byes, but this week, all 8 teams have the bye, so it is like rd 1, and our record in rd 1 results is pretty good. That is also after a bye that all teams have.
