Battle of the big cats (ignore the widdle black and yellow stripped puddy tat for this discussion )

 

[joe444]

This feels to me like one of those games where my mob isn't quite ready. A few things against us, not least of which is that the Lions have a 9 day break at home.

If we win, it's huge. I'm hoping, however, to leave the match with a feeling that we'll have them covered in September.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Massive game for Brisbane. 2-4 with GWS away to come would have their season hanging by a thread. 3-3 and things look not so bad.

It's a good test to see where Geelong is at but it also feels like a free swing at 5-0. I'd be ecstatic with a win and expect Brisbane to be too strong at home.

 

[Chinacats]

Brisbane the favourites at home but they’ve dropped a couple there for a change….. cats have a chance. Young kids to get some Paddy help…. against the lions strong midfield…..good audit for the cats this one …

 

[JasRulz63]

I think the biggest part of this will come down to what sort of Brisbane shows up on Saturday night, taking nothing away from Geelong who are deservedly 5-0. But if Brisbane can bring the performance of the first 3/4 quarters (especially the 82 tackles for the match) they did on Thursday night for the majority of the game, they're gonna be tough to beat at home.

and mindset. are we still the hunters like thursday night? or will it be another nervy performance at home when we are the strong favourites?

Cats in a great spot as 5-0 so they have nothing to lose. they can bring a good pressure free performance especially if we are a bit nervy again.

i hope fagan really homes in on us being the hunters.

 

[Jirik13]

Last week I predicted Melbourne comfortably over Lions which did not go well.

This time I predict Lions comfortably at home. They are back in form and desperate to put more wins on the board. A bit of catching up.

 

[Wish Wellingtons]

Lions will have to put some time into Miers, he seems to get no attention from the opposition but has the best inside 50 entries in the game.

 

[Tristan34]

Cats will get smashed in the middle, but we match up well structurally...

 

[JasRulz63]

Lions will have to put some time into Miers, he seems to get no attention from the opposition but has the best inside 50 entries in the game.

Will be interesting what we do. I don't think of our coaches as the types that tend to put time into players, but we did play Petracca very well on Thursday.

Stewart is the other one which will be interesting. If Charlie Cameron somehow gets off, I can't imagine Stewart goes to him again.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Lions will have to put some time into Miers, he seems to get no attention from the opposition but has the best inside 50 entries in the game.

Not sure how easy it is to go to a guy with his running power and intelligence in traffic. I think opponents should be dominating is in contested ball and clearances. If the call isn't coming out the front side of the stoppage Miers won't get that much dangerous ball.

Reckon we can ignore them in most discussions for a while

I'm honestly just after a competitive showing in the midfield from us

 

[CarterS]

You can only beat who you're against but Geelong have played St Kilda, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Dogs and Kangas so far. Will be interesting to see how they go. After us they have Carlton, Melbourne, Port, GC away and GWS, so, good they've banked a few wins.

Saying that Geelong have always gone alright at the Gabba.

 

[Mr Meow]

Lions should be winning this at home. Strong sides - which they still are - don't drop more than a couple of games a season on their home turf. At 3-3 their season would be back on track.

The Cats might have Dangerfield and Hawkins back, but will need both to fire straight away if they're to have a chance.

Brisbane by a couple of goals. I'll be disappointed if Geelong don't make a good game of it.

Yeah I have not been pencilling this one down as a win but I think we can do alright keeping it tight

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

The Lions will be too good here unfortunately.

 

[Mr Meow]

One thing giving me hope is Brisbane aren't exactly the most capable at shutting down a fleet of capable small forwards.

They will still need the necessary amount and quality of supply though, which could be an issue.

It'll be another case where the opposition's top couple of midfielders rack up plenty of footy but if ours can make it tough and somewhat competitive between the 10 odd we rotate through there, we have a chance.

 

[Elixuh]

Geelong used to package up its season with AAA rated wins. Unfortunately this season their tranche is full of synthetic cdos which are made up of FFF wins against scrubs.

Time for the Lions short position to pay off.

Lions have been scrubs though. If Geelong win it's only against a 2-4 side.

The lions are playing the long game this season with the new draft rules set to commence in 2025.

We have a number 1 pick f/s and several highly rated academy players so need to have enough points for one last draft rort.

We can’t lose.

 

[blueiris]

Geelong easy fixture could hurt the Cats here Lions have one of the hardest fixtures to start the season this is the first real test for Geelong we’ll see if they are in fact a good team or the fixtures said a lot

Geelong are coming from 12th.

St Kilda was a real test. Adelaide was a real test. Bulldogs were a real test.

This week is simply coming up against a strong side that started poorly but has turned things around. It won't recalibrate the previous results as performance varies week to week.

 

[Lethal09]

Geelong to continue its run and make it 6 - 0

Cats by 21 points.
