Trail by 3 to 6 goals at quarter time!

:D :D


... but really.

if we run hard, chase hard, and tackle hard, kick long to our big men (who wont all go for the same ball at the same time), and kick straight at goal... we should win.

Agree with that 8-) Will also be good to see our midfield step it up and rip it in through the middle :wink:

We have a show if we work hard from the start and settle into a pattern of play which frustrates Geelong out of there comfort zone. Not an easy task, but possible.

Unless Geelong run harder, chase harder, tackle harder and use the ball better.

Which is what they're renown for. And our use of the ball recently has been... :?

Geelong's confidence is so high it's really going to be hard for us. They are so confident in their backlines ability to win the contested footy that the midfield begin to peel off the moment the ball enters the defensive 50. That creates loose men in the middle who they use superbly with quick accurate handballs. There is no way to manufacture that sort of faith in your teammates, it just comes from playing really good football together over a long period.

It reminds me of our streak in 2005, everything we touched turned to gold. But eventually these things will come to an end, lets hope its against us.
