Rd 1 - Easter Thursday Geelong v Port

[Rik E Boy]

Got my tix, row A undercover. I used to sit in a similar spot when I was a member, itll be great for Master 8 who wont have to worry about anyone being in his way.

Well you've just told everyone where you sitting so I think your cover is blown!

Sitting in Bay 138 just behind Geelong Cheer Squad, affectionately known as "The Penschys" as in pensioner!!

[Booney]

Anyone have an idea where the Geelong supporters usually sit?
Trying to get as far away from the Port ferals as possible so interested to know before I purchase my tickets.

Shame on you Wedgie. We win a granny by 20 goals and you don't want to sit with Port supporters?

REB

Concerned about sitting with 'feral' Port fans,which without generalising,we all are.

That's no generalisation mate, I was a member there for the first 4 year's existence of the Power so I know what its like. Normally Im dead against generalisations but in all honesty I wouldn't want to sit near 99% of the Power crowds, I'd prefer to sit near Port Magpies fans at Alberton (and that's saying something).
Crikey, you can't blame me for being a responsible parent!

You going Booney? I reckon Port are a good chance of winning, see you there?

[mighty_tiger_79]

not too sure what section but over near the crows race, one bay in from there, had a lot of fun with the port supporters there when the cats played the power a couple of seasons ago and Matty Scarlett did that great spoil from behind just before the siren..........

they seriously had no idea at all

had no problems in dishing out shite but when it came back at them...................

the old ladies spent more time looking behind then they did at the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its all about priorities

anyway for me its only 3 hrs of double time and a half, so its not that bad

you're unlucky its not triple time because thats what unions have been pushing for a while, they may have given up by now

[Strawb]

depends saturday is worth double time and a half to me also

[rogernumber10]

Cats are playing Gamble, Hawkins, Blake, West and Tenace to replace the five missing premiership players from the last meeting -- King (St Kilda), Ablett (retired), Wojcinksi (finger), Ottens (ankle) and Rooke (VFL after delayed start).

[Psyber]

Port by 10 goals - they can do it when it doesn't count!

[Strawb]

cats by 22 points Port will be hurting but Blake will stand up and show Geelong that he should have played in the Grand Final

[Thiele]

Go Geelong

[Rik E Boy]

Port by 10 points. Geelong are unbalanced with Ottens out as well as Rooke, Egan and Wojinski missing from our best back half and playing away against Port who will be hellbent on proving that the last Saturday in September was a once in a century abberation.

Port proved they can defeat the Cats when we have a few missing even at Cat Park so if they drop this one then the Cats will have the wood over them all year..and maybe for a few more to come. Port will want to rest any possible Cat bogey to rest. Remember that Port has only defeated Geelong once since 2004 and hasn't defeated the Cats at AAMI Stadium for four years.

REB

ps - Also, we have selected Tenace and he is 5hithouse.

[hearts on fire]

i have a feeling Geelong will win.

not by that much but around 2 or 3 goals.

[Wedgie]

Was going to get the bus down there but got the email from the SANFL proclaiming "POWER FANS FIRST CHANCE TO JUMP ONBOARD SA LOTTERIES FOOTY EXPRESS".
Bit rude, are the SANFL only catering for one team's fans are they just completely ignorant?

[sydney-dog]

How Ordinary foes Port look

Defence is as bad as Carlton's defence
absolutely no pressure placed on the opposition, especially in the forward 50
game plan is too wide
forward structure is ordinary
roo many front runners

[Psyber]

Yes, that describes what I was referring to in the "Shits" thread.

[hearts on fire]

this game makes me laugh.

Port over complicate it by handballing the ball about 30 or 40 times down the field then turn it over and Geelong just run down with ease, slot the goal and do it all over again.

did anyone see Tredrea's kicking? he did it about about 2 or 3 times in the first and second quarter, he kicked it straight up in the air and then he tried to bomb it into the 50 but it just wobbled in like a little AUSKICK player.

Melbourne will hammer Port this year.

No-ones defence is that bad....

Right

The Cats have held on to win by 9 points over a fast finishing Power (IMO they took the foot right off)...

Geelong 15.15.105 def Port 14.12.96
