Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
I started to feel that way midway through the 2022 season and the second half of last season confirmed it for me.

Regardless of what the scoreboard says and how we are playing, we’re now always capable of maintaining our lead or making up a deficit.

At the back of my mind is the proviso that, if we’re not switched on, we could lose to Manangatang 2nds.
If Weiters doesn't get up, that will be a real problem and put a dent in out chances.

Which is why I thought one thing in my mind. Geelong have not lost a single game yet, while we dropped one against Adelaide that are not world beaters and we did have injury problems to boot. Still no excuse when they don’t have the home ground advantage. A game we should have found a way to will ourselves over the line. Hopefully as a club we learned something from the loss. How are we favourites with betting agencies? At best a 50/50 and I still don’t have the confidence we can tame their abilities to turn the momentum their way. A win in this game will finally make me believe we might be a genuine top 4 side. I know we have beaten the Cats in the past few years without an expectation of winning. I know we have troubled them in certain aspects of the game. I just worry about our injuries. We are missing too many guns and “A” grade players. We still look a little thin on depth and expect too many to stand tall and carry the squad. I might be wrong. I hope I am. If we win this one, I will celebrate and be completely drunk. Without regret. Judge me not by my actions, but accept that I am human.
The teams Geelong have beaten have won a total of 9 games out 36.
