I won't be seeing this one live. We should never play Geelong at a ground that holds so few people, even when we are crap.
Daisys last game in navy blue.
Not a decision I'm feeling good about. His football lately has been excellent. However, I do not make those decisions.
2 possible changes?? Weiteting for Lang and possibly Cunningham for Gibbons (shoulder).
It's be nice if Cunningham actually plays 4-qtrs of footy before we start picking him in the 1s!
Played well today, obvious replacement for Gibbons if required and it’s the last game. I’d be picking him, but that’s just me.
Weitering looks like he'll play, Gibbons some chance, Cunningham ready to go, Lang in for minor ankle surgery so is out.

Hear hear! Don't think I've every seen him do much more than provide some very, very good cameos. Obviously has a concentration problem!
DT said to the team "Give no quarter" but Cunners was feeling generous and gave one.
:)) :)) :)) or two... few good zingers from your good self today, Fluffy One. :)) :))
Apparently Sam Walsh needs 10 possessions this weekend to pass Toby Greene's record of most possies in a season by a 1st year player. He usually gets 10 in the 1st q.
Ridiculously good effort by the kid.
I don't think it will be too long before Walsh is seen as more important than Coniglio, Shiel and all of the other high-priced trade targets. Better keep some serious coin in the salary cap for him.
Agreed Tonyo....but geez, land Coniglio and imagine that starting lineup in the square next year....Cripps, Walsh, Coniglio....would arguably be the best young midfield going around.
Until Geelong come knocking on Sam's door once Ablett, Selwood and Dangerfield have cashed in their chips.....
I believe Walsh far prefer us regardless of $$ temptations. Immense respect for an all too rare attitude of loyalty that he'd not betray.
Yep, No Ablett, Danger, Selwood, Kelly.
What an attractive proposition
Selwood's decline this year has been marked. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pc-geelong-cats--joel-selwood
How much longer has he got, especially given his crash bang style....
Danger too - his numbers have declined every year after his first stellar year at the Cattery.
Even Duncan turns 29 next year!
A bit of fun, and nice to see our old mate Sam Rowe get his 100th game.

Sam Walsh will be a one club player, unless we do something wrong to him
Congratulations Sam!
I would have preferred to see him in navy blue for his milestone game :-\
Dangerfield will probably torch us but his ball use and field kicking is horrible. Could have iced last weeks game but missed from 35, which happens more than occasionally. He does so much right but gees he gets away with some schizenhausen play at times because of who he is.
Get ready for him to gob off and whinge all day to the umpires - we're going to get deadest raped in this game.
In : Cuningham, Weitering
Out : Lang, Gibbons (both injured)
Let’s hope Cripps and Kreuzer have blinders
Geelong mids only run one way
Their rucks are terrible
They won’t want to risk injury before finals
Win, lose or draw, I just hope we just physically hurt them.

Geelong generally let you win the ball at the contest and get you on your first kick out from it.
We need to be smart with the ball at the contest and not simply blaze away.
We need to lower our eyes and find a target. Do we have the skills and wise head to do so?
If we get a head of steam up we'll run right into their wall and play right into their hands.
