just a thought.
what rain does is it keeps the mood under control.
the more rain the better. the cats' skills will disappear faster than a lead turd in the wet.

You don't think that perhaps it will suit the hard bodies of Ablett, Bartel, Ling, Chapman etc and lessen the effectiveness of Roo and Kosi?

Our game plan is suited for the dome. Rain suits Geelong

Sure he does. Whatever talks his team up. The fact of the matter is, our high pressure stop start defense won't be affected as much as their flashy keepings off play on at all costs defense. Their tall forwards will be just as disadvantaged as ours, luckily we're not carrying a couple players with soft tissue injuries.

We've done everything tough this year, hopefully we grind them into the mud on our way to claiming the cup tomorrow.

Running around in the wet aint going to bother Roo but his opponent might blow out

Geelong may have a fair record in the rain lately. But they have a fair record in the dry lately. And they have not played us is the rain for years.

Like anything could lessen the effectiveness of our boys right now, don't be silly...

Bartel is the best wet weather player in the comp.

The weather won't be the difference in this game anyway - the hungrier team will win. End of.

docsaint · Post: # 832906Post **docsaint** » Fri 25 Sep 2009 10:21pm

bit wet and slippery, I reckon favours cats (like last year). They can still flick it round and use their skills, which I do think in the midfield are a bit superior to ours.
However a heavy track will help us no end .Roo is a great wet weather player, and it will suit our shut down style of play. Ball will be elevated from a good ordinary player to a huge impact player. Lenny is Lenny. Goddard will still kick accurately over 60 metres. Our rucks are superior, which will help with the stoppages.

Lets face it, the Cats usually play witches hats at home (Melbourne, Richmond, Freo). All this talk that they play in these conditions and are therefore advantaged is rubbish. In my opinion if they try to play against us with the same run and carry that they use in the wet against the worst teams in the comp on their own dung heap, we will smash them.

More and more confident with each drop of rain!

Enrico_Misso · Fri 25 Sep 2009 11:12pm

We are the Number 1 tackling team.
Wet weather plays to that skills.
Lots of stoppages will also suit us.

Regardless of who wet weather suits , skills etc one thing is for sure - wet weather WILL make for a lower scoring game. We DO like to keep it tight (not often we blow sides away).......it does help us in that aspect...

SainterK · Post: # 833007Post **SainterK** » Fri 25 Sep 2009 11:24pm

Everyone seems to think that suddenly we are not capable of kicking a big score. This makes me indignant, we will kick what is relative to the game.

We kicked 9 to beat the doggies, we kicked 14 to beat the cats.

Rain or no rain, we don't NEED it to rain.

If it keeps raining we'll win by 100 points!
