Wouldn't it be great to knock Cats off
I reckon we're half a chance and the draw becomes significantly easier after that.
We could do some damage if we get on a roll and the confidence comes back.
I'd feel a he'll of a lot more optimistic if we had a goal-kicking key forward to take some pressure off Riewoldt.
Last night's game could have been over at quarter time if we'd been able to convert those early chances.
We need to develop a killer instinct and finish teams off when we have them on the ground.

I was more confident after we played Collingwood, then after beating the Bulldogs.SaintPav wrote:reality check one: we are not playing well enough to beat Geelong.
reality check two: there are no easier games in the second half of the year.
Bulldogs were shocking, so poor.
But, we seem to lift for better teams, so heres hoping.

Cats work in the centre clearances and its contested possesion isn't too shabby.

This was the part of the draw designed by the afl to kill us in 2011.
Pies,dogs,cats.
Dogs went way downhill of course so it is backfiring.
Anything can happen on the day. I would have said snowballs chance in hell last week.....
It is possible i suppose.

We should've beaten them in Round 1.
Then again those were the days when we had Lenny and Joey, and they didn't have Selwood for the most part.

Selwood? You mean the bloke who got knocked out ten minutes into the first quarter against us this year and they still won without him?kosifantutti23 wrote:Selwood might not be playing. Something happened off the ball between him and Guerra. The Channel 10 boundary rider saw it.
Bartel out is bigger.
For a few weeks now, I've been looking at this one as a tough 50/50 chance.
We are still statistically the team who has come closest to beating Geelong (at least we led in the final minute, Collingwood didn't) this year.
We match up well against them and a win here would just turn the season around.
Having said that, I won't be tipping us. Geelong by all rights are the better team and should win this one comfortably (4-5 goals on current form) so the head says Geelong.
But should we knock them off, it wouldn't be the upset of the season.
