Game Day v The Full Strength Cats

[1970crow]

Got so drunk last night I woke up this morning thinking it was Sunday. 12 mins to go of the replay of the Tigers/North game and any idea of a home final appears to be gone.

Have a good day all and let's hope for no injuries, a solid spanking and a rare win at the Cattery.

 

[Red mist]

Ouch. How do you freshen up?

 

[GROTTO]

This must be one of the latest starts to a Crows gamed day thread.

Now are we resting?

Did Pods fly over this morning?

 

[pjcrows]

Need to maintain the momentum but the result is relatively irrelevant. Not sure what we'll produce today. Cats certainly won't lie down. They embarrassed themselves in Enright's 300th and won't want a similar result in the send-off of their stars.

Having said that we're the form team of the comp with every player in form.

 

[Danoz]

If we were to rest players and lose based on last nights result and then BL pull a win out of their arse we'd be a laughing stock. Control what we can control, don't flirt with form, go out and smash these cocky geelong w***ers.

Cats always play well on milestone days and will be tough to beat at home with so many players saying good bye

Its all about next week for me

Still think we should have rested Sauce, Tex and Thompson

maybe grab a beer. Missus is still asleep, so probably need to continue to make hay. She was a bit narky last night if memory serves, so a bit of a top up will probably assist overall. I'm not looking forward to her awakening, that's for sure.

Game appears set to televise on Fox Soccer Plus in the States. Airtime at 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Channel 621-1 on Directv

I say appears because last week we were a late bump. However, my system is still showing us.

I got no feel for this one. Trade winds let me down. Will just hope for our continued good form heading into Finals. Go Crows!

... the result is relatively irrelevant.

Inedible... Inedibatal... Inebitable...

Anyway, I think we'll comfortably smash these geriatric pretenders / would-be Paddy-nappers.

 

[Paladin]

Just watched the first quarter of last weeks game to get me in the mood. Holy **** that was perfection!

 

[Pugsley]

Ouch. How do you freshen up?

Keep drinking. Scotch milk weet-bix

Going in full strength puts pressure on us to win well to maintain our momentum. Resting a couple of guys would have eased thst pressure a bit. Really want to see a strong result.

I would rather we managed our guys as well. However, the coaching staff has made its decision. They have gotten a lot more right than not these last eight plus weeks. I will defer to their wisdom. I do look for us to play hard as well. Might as well do it properly if we are going this path.

You mean, like how they beat Melbourne for Cory Enright 300th game?

People say this but I don't think it's actually true. One of the footy shows did a bit on it a while ago and showed that they had a worse win/loss in milestone games than their average over recent years. They lost to Melbourne in Enright's 300th!

No they don't, not this year and Stevie J is apparently pissed as about him not getting a contract next year but Bartel has. Will be interesting to see what happens if that rumour is true.

 

[Red mist]

Hope we go in with full intensity. Big win. Let the Cats mark this one down on their calendars.

 

[Huntercrow]

I think I'll have to turn the sound off. Too many Dangerfield to Geelong references could be hazardous to my TV.

Really hope they don't over do this but I'm not holding any great hope!

 

[AmericanCrow]

Going with Fiveaa radio and synching it to TV. Have zero desire listening to how Danger is wearing wrong jumper

 

[Deaneus!]

I hope we belt the suitcases out of them.

Stevie J liable to have an onfield meltdown with Bartel

Dang, it's been 1 year, 5 months and 17 days since we played Geelong for premiership points - from the first round of one year to the last round of the next year. So very much water under the bridge in that time.

We need to bring our best which we showed last week (THAT opening quarter ... ), not only to overcome the Cats wanting to farewell an era in style, but to send a message to the competition. A message that home final or no home final, we will steamroll you in September because our determination shows!

This will be a tough game. Crows by a point.
