Will Geelong win the 2017 premiership ?

Objective analysis from a 27 year old who professes to have followed Geelong for "30 years". Don't get sucked in.

you think that's my real birth date in my profile?
No wonder your a nobody.

The result said more about Richmond than you

Really? Think it said Geelong are still hanging in and if Motlop and Guthrie maintain that sort of form we might be back in it.

I'd say we're probably a clear fourth on the betting line for the flag at the moment, but IF we don't f*** up (yet again) against Collingwood next week, we're locked in to the top four and playing GWS at home the following week for a home Qualifying Final.

I don't think we've demonstrated the consistency necessary to win the flag, but we look to be clearly the best Victorian chance, which is huge when a Simonds final is up for grabs and the grand final will be an interstate game for the other major contenders.

Geelong hasn't shown the mental steel that one would expect you need to win a big final interstate, but there's still a path to the premiership where they don't have to leave Victoria.

Yes all reasonable.

Not sure we can win it unless all the cards fall into place.

And i dont have much confidence Scott can adapt and change things to beat Collingwood

Second that. It's very obviously an alias/troll account.

A very 'sloppy' alias for sure.

Suppose you'll also say that's not you in the avatar?

oh no, that's me alright.

I maintain my view which I've had all season..cats will squeeze into top 4..possibly make a prelim but ultimately fall short at the same stage as last season

 

[King Cold]

mate, take your hand of it and think clearly.
Very high chance we finish 4th which will mean we have to travel to Adelaide in week one. Lose that and we a good chance at going out in straight sets if Sydney win their first final.

No chance of that happening.

We'll finish 2nd and host GWS in a qualifying final, which we'll win easily.

I know, it says a lot about them that they couldn't beat us despite being at full strength, while we were heavily depleted.

If Selwood fails to return, the image of Harry Taylor holding the cup up makes me smile.

They might let Danger captain.

 

[jezza1435]

7th-11th IMO.

Outside of Selwood and Dangerfield I don't really see depth in the midfield even if Motlop gets his s**t together.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a number of teams go past them.

very astute!

Jesus Cats fans are deluded. You guys ARE NOT the second best team in it!!

You've beaten the Dockers, limped over the line against North and got kissed on the dick against us... Calm the farm.

Solid bump

Reading this thread gives me a hard on - so many armchair experts with absolutely TERRIBLE predictions lol... The hawks supporters are the funniest - karma is a bitch ! Lets play a game where we all pick random predictions to laugh at.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Might be a bit hard to be a flag threat if they can't make the finals

Melbourne supporter ^^

In fairness, a few unexpectedly have stepped up a bit. I wasn't expecting Stewart, Buzza or Murdoch to be as good as they have been and despite finishing 2nd it might be a stretch to call us the 2nd best team. We do look good when we're not playing Sydney though.

Yeah maybe, but if you're not top 2 you're certainly top 4 (GWS, Sydney and Adelaide) in a very even group.

I think they'll win the premiership.

I like this guy.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Problem is we don't play very well at the G. We've had only one really good game there all year (against a battling Hawks at the time). All other games have been poor losses or very unconvincing wins.

 

[Deep]

I think they'll win the premiership.

If we do it'll mean the other teams who get home games are a laughing stock considering we're the only club being forced to play home games away from our home ground.

If all our home finals were at KP (obviously not GF) we would've won a few more premierships over the years moreso recently.
