If the Cats make it all the way, they will choke at the big dance again

Who will be in the grand final with the cats though? at this point it is too hard to tell who will make it.

 

[Onestitch]

Bulldogs won't make the Grand Final if they don't work on their intensity.

Cats a possibility, but my Money would be on Saints, Pies and Crows to take home flag this year. Not sure about Saints, just giving them credit for their good season, but they are still a risk of going out in two like the Dogs are (I could well be wrong this year, can only go off the way they have gone to goo in previous finals campaigns).

Do u forget who the form side of last month has been? Yes, Bullies. Cats dismantled ém. Kudos pls.

We still have a prelim final to win. Not in the Grand Final yet.

i am aware of that my friend. i do, however share , as the players do, a certain belief. And a rabid love of the club.

I know but someone said if cats went all the way to grand final.
I hope the saints don't make it

 

[Onestitch]

I don't think so...

did they change the rule? Re: delib rush? ok wasn't cheatin then but did anyone bar hawks ratify it? BAD club those Hawks and are getting the scrutiny they deserve.

My bad. Clearly, I'm still a little nervous and just the thought of the Grand Final right now induces a sense of panic within me.

 

[Onestitch]

as it does in me Bro. We are Good. Beautifully orchestrated campaign.

Congrats, you're the first person with GWS as your team i've seen on here.

I never noticed that!

Also the first I've seen with the Western Sydney tag for their team.
Maybe the only?

Is there a way to find out what teams have how many fans?

The Dogs have more up side the the Cats, the Cast can not play any better than they did while the Dogs played poorly and in the last qtr they should have won kicking 4.6 to 1.3, Cats were lucky they jumped out of the blocks and that the Dogs played that poorly

What makes you think we couldn't play any better? We clearly had moments when we tapered off - and yet we still managed to win by 14 points. I thought we were saved by our terrific defense in the 2nd and 4th quarters because our midfield to forward movement wasn't working well for us. If we can improve on that, we would won more convincingly.

I don't think it's luck that we started well either. Bulldogs have started games slowly all year, and against a more focused team, it cost them. This isn't dissimilar to the game the Bulldogs had against Collingwood and St Kilda. The slow starts have been an issue for them all year.

 

[TheBloods]

The Cats can play better, plus they're getting a few players back. 'Dogs can definitely play better if they stop they're 1st and 3rd quarter slumps.

 

[mcuzzy]

Cats should have played better but so should the dogs.

Dogs clearly would have won had they kicked more accurately in the final quarter.

 

[GoalSneak38]

Was it true Geelong had 19 on the field? Just something that popped up in the crowd in the first quarter. Whilst on the topic. The holding the ball against Cross was terrible and for god sake Selwood stop ducking your head!

 

[mcuzzy]

Yeah apparently there were 19 on groud for cats at one point.

Selwood is great at getting frees, at least he gets the hard ball though
