Prediction Where will we be after R4?

[Turbocat]

The Sun say we own 3 sides .... if we can get past Melb R1 , we will be of to a good start as they are looking like a likely improver . Hawks are never push overs , The WCeagles in Perth are tough ..STK down here is the one should must win.

I say 3-1

GEELONG
Draw — Melbourne (MCG), Hawthorn (MCG), West Coast (Perth), St Kilda (KP)

The Cats own three of these teams.

They have won 12 of their past 13 against Melbourne, four in a row against Hawthorn and lost to St Kilda once in their past eight games.

That just leaves them a date with an Eagles outfit which farewelled hundreds of games worth of experience in the off-season.

The only red flag for the Cats could be hitting that West Coast clash flat. The club will travel to Perth on the back of a six day break.

It’s a long shot but if it takes the Gary Ablett, Joel Selwood, Patrick Dangerfield trio some time to gel, the Demons could strike in Round 1.

Best Case: 4-0

Worst Case: 2-2

After round 4 we will be... At the Adelaide Oval.

Poll added.

True to form and coming back from playing interstate off short breaks I think we'll drop the saints game. But I’d rather the team need to work some things out at this time of the year rather than the back end.

 

[Gydafud]

I shouldn't say this but it's very difficult to see us losing a game.

 

[Willo_]

We SHOULD be at least 3-1... I genuinely don't know what to expect from the Eagles and at the new stadium, no opposition team will get a free kick there all year and it could easily be the strongest home ground advantage in the comp... but we may catch them while they are unfamiliar with the ground still

 

[Landgraft]

The evil threads are back

I voted 0-4

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

3-1 and lose in Perth, although being a new stadium it wouldn't surprise If we went over there and won. I'm still not confident in our ability to travel.

The other 3 are monty's.

 

[CatRiot]

Thinking 3-1... Might drop the Demons game early.

 

[Ratcat]

I'm saying 2-2 worst case satisfied 3-1.

 

[you pick one]

3-1 coming off any Hawthorn side at the G and traveling to the West on a 6 day break is big advantage to the home side,we will drop the WC game.
We have the same scenario a fortnight latter when we travel to play Port off a 6 day break.

 

[BIGANT]

The trip to Perth (eags) will be tricky, new ground and not knowing what eagles side will show up.

 

[cynical]

2-2

dont know how well Melbourne are going but that'll be the real test, think they will be more polished compared to last year and run rings around us (but hard to know until after the preseason)

WCE arent great but we dont travel that well so thats probably another loss

could be 2-2 or 4-0

 

[Sttew]

v Melbourne looms as a genuine 50:50 and difficult pick. The media is getting behind the Dees, and they will be primed. If Ablett plays we win

v Hawks - we should win

v WCE - game played at a neutral venue (for now), but as OP says we could be flat after a 6 day turnaround and coming off the usual high against Hawks.

v Saints - by how much?

 

[Daniel McL]

Round 5?

 

[FISTO]

Beating Hawks is the only certainty

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Nakia look at the sad cretin 0-4 on the poll.

 

[Landgraft]

Nakia look at the sad cretin 0-4 on the poll.

I have feelings too you know

 

[dazbroncos]

I have feelings too you know

oh they aint talking about you...

Hawks scum in their cross hairs.

GO Catters

 

[Vdubs]

I have feelings too you know

But will we be 0-5?

 

[Landgraft]

But will we be 0-5?

That's beyond the scope of this poll.

 

[Nickoo]

Thinking 2-2 as i have a feeling Hawks will get us. Not enough grunt in the back with harry down.

4-0 now! Melbourne was the only team I was worried about, next three will be much easier!!

 

[lionbear]

2-2 or 3-1

Interestingly the Swans won the free kick count there on Sunday, 28-20. I didn't expect to see that.

On the bright side, we'll be playing an Eagles team yet to win a game at the new stadium.
