[Chinacats]

Interesting match up…. Bulldogs- a team that desires to finish top 4 vs cats- a team that don’t care where they finish as long as they peak at the right time of year….
I rate bulldogs as a top 4 team… so a tough ask for the cats this week.

 

[My Tilly]

Depends on what players return this week.

is injured again, it will be just Kolodjashnij and De Koning alternating between three forwards listed at 195cm+

Definitely need Dangerfield back.

 

[Zevon]

I’m assuming the Cats are due to get a few players back this week? Even so, facing the Dogs at Marvel is a tricky prospect at the best of times. I’ll tip the Bulldogs just.

 

[JackFlash]

The Dogs had a hiccup against the Suns, but will rebound and be far too good for the hapless Cats who appear to have thrown in the towel this season. Bulldogs by 46points

Our largest losing margin is 29 points.

They are fighting out games but simply don't have the quality in midfield to get enough forward fifty entries.
Even on the weekend, we had no right to come within 2 points after looking completely out of it all day.

Even on the weekend, we had no right to come within 2 points after looking completely out of it all day.

Not just the entries but the quality of our forward fifty entries are long high blind bombed kicks often under pressure into a crowded forward half.

Our transition game is non existent at present with our personell. Don’t expect us to get over the line in this one.

Dogs by 3-6 goals.

 

[Mofra]

Regardless of ins or out, Geelong is the bogey team for the Bulldogs. Could be one of those games where we dominate most categories but it still comes down to the wire. Marra & Naughton's goal-kicking is well off this year which is a huge concern

You should easily got the job done against this geelong side. Our entire starting midfield is out, with a total of 10/22 best 22 missing.. we won’t be able to get up to beat a good side with a particularly strong midfield like doggies.

You will get it done almost 99% sure of this

 

[Footy Smarts]

The players who attended centre bounces last weekend says it all:

English, Bontempelli, Liberatore, MacRae, Smith, Daniel and Lobb

Vs

Ceglar, Blicavs, Atkins, O'Connor, Bruhn, Parfitt and a few each for Knevitt, Close and Stengle.

I don't think any of our mids come back either. Certainly none of Stanley, Guthrie, Duncan or Holmes. It sounds like not Danger either.

Why are the Bulldogs not well inside $1.50?

It should be 1.10 to 5.50….. those midfields are miles apart

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Despite their injury list I reckon the Cats will get up.

Dogs had a tough loss in difficult conditions. Cats are getting them at the right time.

 

[Wojcinski]

first time in a while I'm not confident we can get it done. Our forward line is nice but without a midfield feeding them I can't see how we'll win this one.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Just can't see us winning, we couldn't beat 15th (Tigers) and 14th (GWS) down on our home deck how are we gonna win vs Doggies at Marvel?

Our midfield has to be the worst in the comp at the moment and Doggies have one of the best.

Now it’s 10? Last week it was 8-9 and then S De Koning & O. Henry came back in! I’m confused!

They really don’t.

 

[melbun]

Cats and Dogs playing together? Is this the end of times?

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Now it’s 10? Last week it was 8-9 and then S De Koning & O. Henry came back in! I’m confused!

I heard someone else quote 10 but i disnt bother to check myself. So 8 now with two back and rqtugolea out. Hopefully a few back in this week in the midfield. We cant expect to go toe to toe with probably the games best midfield with our VFL midfield.. It will be a bloodbath in their.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

They really don’t.

Doggies?? Its an awesome midfield. Bont libba mcrae treloar... Vs atkins, bruhn, blicavs, smith...

Pretty lop sided

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

They really don’t.

Regardless if you rate it or not, it's still better than ours as it sits.

Hopefully we get a few players back this week.

I was going to say Menegola isn't best 22 based on how he was traveling last time he was fit but looking at the stats, he was averaging 20 disposals & just under a goal per game.
Isaac Smith is currently averaging about the same and he's been critical during this period of time without our main midfield brigade.

Stanley's a funny one. He does not rack up numbers like Ceglar does. Isn't as proficient winning clearances, and/or tap work but it's his agility which allows Geelong to utilize both Blicavs + Stanley all around the ground. He doesn't tire as quickly as what Ceglar does.


If we get back Dangerfield, Rohan and Bowes this week, we are right in this.
The Western Bulldogs have the best midfield in the competition but for all that midfield quality, they're only averaging 11 goals per game. Playing conditions come into consideration so just include their last three games at Docklands (completely ignore the first two rounds), they're averaging 10.6 goals per game.

During Geelong's recent losing streak, they are averaging the same number . . . 10.6 goals per game and we are playing our VFL midfielders.

 

[Astro_]

Have we ever beaten the cats? I doubt I’ve seen it happen live. Someone once said it happened, I will ask my son’s history teacher to verify

 

[My Tilly]

first time in a while I'm not confident we can get it done. Our forward line is nice but without a midfield feeding them I can't see how we'll win this one.

GWS even without Kelly are a brilliant midfield and it took Geelong until the final quarter to find a way back into the game with 4 goals in 15 minutes before a lapse in concentration by Mullin (left his man Daniels) sealed their fate in the dying minutes.

Dogs are a bit overrated. If Dangerfield does not play, it will be tough but I think this is going to be a very close game.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Dogs by plenty. They only beat the Cats once a decade, this will be a smashing.

 

[Xtreme]

Geelong by 86 points
