Game Day Geelong V Essendon Sun May5 @ MCG

[dazbroncos]

Ahh the Country game...

Never seen to be played in an actual regional footy facility that hold 35k but whatever....

Danger game - Bombers had our lotto numbers the last few times and cashed in big on us. Can't let it happen again.

Granted, we are very different team with a different list and playing a different way - but none of that will matter is we let them get a sniff early and get a run on.

Must stop their dash and dare with hard footy and make them pay on the turn overs.

Take our chances early - convert well - and get their heads down and dont give them a sniff.

Scotty needs his A game for this one - and so do we. With a few forced changes - will the will to be first and pressure hard still be there?

It better be - we are gonna need all of it

GO Catters

Who is Parsons coming in for??

Win this one Geelong, just to shut up all the Essendon supporters I have to work with. The silence will be bliss.

 

[romeohwho]

Heading off soon. Expecting a tough contest. Hard to win but we will win if we are good enough, and I am pretty sure we are. Go Cats. Geelong by 23.

 

[Down at K Park]

I hope we have really steeled ourselves for a bit of payback here. They have made us look silly the last couple of games.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Essendon are a good team despite they're poor start, and really took it to the Pies on Anzac day. This will be a real test of where the club is at right now.

I would have thought a simple reference to those recent drug cheating days would shut them up big time. I wouldn't do that personally unless they become lippy.

Will Kolo take Tippa? Kolo has done well against the smalls but I would be worried about this match up

MOC on Tippa, Kolo on Stringer

I'd send Henry to stringer.
Smart enough to not fall for tricks. Can beat him with the ball coming in, and can run off him..

Fantasia will be the interesting one. So will Heppell. I reckon we will peel off him all day and let him do his thing unfortunately.

 

[Play it Sam]

So AFL country round in order to get country people to a game, that starts at 3.20.
Call me ornery, but it's a bit late to be traveling home on country roads.
Or is it a late slot so farmers have time to get there? Cough.
We have loads of Western District supporters and the game time frames are rarely friendly.

I haven't looked at stats but my general feel is Heppell gets off the leash against us.

Yep- Stringer old mutton. Hopefully gets made into chump chops.

Zuthrie in, Zach out, according to AW.

Fantasia out for Bombers.

No Parsons but Zuthrie replaces 2E.

Fantasia out helps. A lot.

Zuthrie in, Zach out, according to AW.

If true, my confidence has taken a hit. I just dont see it with Zuthrie, but happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Fantasia out for Bombers.

Fantasia is out due to illness. But what's going on with Tuohy?

 

[foxdog50]

Why am I worried about Essendon.... This is the first real game IV been worried about

 

[foxdog50]

Fantasia is out due to illness. But what's going on with Tuohy?

I hope we haven't rushed him in to early with his knee

 

[Hamingja]

Clark in for Tuohy, Parfitt for Selwood, and Constable staying in the side would have made more sense.

Now we have the extra defender in Zuthrie that we just don't need and will have to accomodate.

Zuthrie was decent against Werribee the other week I thought but appears to be superfluous to needs here.

"Soreness".
