          Miracles happen (we don't have to worry about Ablett, which is a nice start. Commiserations to him - seriously - about getting injured, he's a gun and we always want to see the best on the park).

          Swans in a belter by a few points! It's around the time each year that early season inconsistency falls away and they start to string good form and wins together. What better round to start doing it all again!

          And if there wasn't so much smug vic media slagging of our "old, slow team", the word in all places on the swans would be more positive. They've shown enough on field this year to say there's still a lot of fight in the "old" swan yet!

            The Swans will be torn into little bite size pieces by The Cats, the loss of GAJ wont even even give them a hiccup.
            Every team loves to have a crack at the best mob going around, and they wont get a closer look at their backsides for three hours than this.
            The Cats at The Cattery just play with the Visitors like they are mice, especially as they are slicker and quicker than the 08 model.

            Cats by 66.

              Seriously guys, when was the last time we went out and put in a performace worthy of such disdane as some of you show on here. Possibly a couple of games against the Pies last year, but they are few and far between.

              Geelong are a great side and deserve to be favourites, but they are not in any great form and will be playing this week without Ablett, Ling of Ottens.

              We have every right to consider oursleves a realistic chance of taking it up to the Cats this week and if they are not on their game maybe even to win it.

              Cut the "AFL record" or 100 point loss cr@p as it is embarassing to this board and the many supporters of a club that has 22 blokes who take the field week in week out and give it their all.

                Ling's omission is interesting. He normally tags Goodsey. If Goodsey really has a day out we have a chance. Bloods by 8

                  I feel the Cats will toy with us and just treat us like a training drill,as we have seen them do to other teams.It will benefit us to have SOG missing but my concern is their physical toughness which will make some of our "not quite as physical as others" feel quite intimidated.All our more experienced blokes will need to stand up this week.

                    The Cats are due for a loss. They need to increase the $$$ availed for the end of season trip. This can be achieved easily this Saturday via a healthy wager on the Swan upset, which will pay a hefty dividend....

                        No wonder Goodes struggles against the cats, being tagged by 2 players.

                            You are right but wasn't Rooke injured for a while and i do remember Mr Piggy going onto Goodsey who flattened him early in one match. Brought the hayseeds to their feet

                              EXACTLEY DST, I was there last year and except for the last 5 minutes of the game, we were in with a shot of beating them. I think we are a chance this week, No G Ablett, no LING and no Ottens, this means Jolly will ruck against 2 very inexperienced ruckmen(not sure if Blake is playing or not). I will be making the trip down the highway on Saturday and I only hope it doesnt rain and is not too windy, cause Geelong play wet weather football better than anyone and we all know how ordinary we play in those type of conditions.
