Re: Game Day Round 19 2016 - Geelong V Western Bulldogs
I am going with the scenario that the Cats will have chalked this one down as a win and will therefore be having a night off while we come out totally committed to making amends for last weekend and invigorated by the 5 changes to the line up.

Re: Game Day Round 19 2016 - Geelong V Western Bulldogs
This is the first time in a long time that I'm not looking not forward to the match.
I have a feeling that the mc have almost conceded this one and have rested a couple of sore bodies and at the same time getting match fitness into Dahl and the lesser Stringer. And with a rest into the older boys give it our best shot against Norf.
That said...

First goal - Stringer to set the tone
BOG - Libba to atone for his lack luster game last week.
Come on Doggies!

Re: Game Day Round 19 2016 - Geelong V Western Bulldogs
I'm finding it hard to be positive about our prospects, but I have seen us win some pretty good games in the past two years and a win is possible.
What I find particularly galling about this fixture is that we have to play our home game against the Cats at Etihad, a ground at which the Cats are a tenant (albeit less so than in previous years), however Geelong get to play their home game against us at one of the most niche venues in the competition. What's even worse, is that they'll earn more from their home game drawing less than 35K to the game than we will drawing more than 40K to our home game.
If you could think of an illustration of how inherently unfair the competition is you needn't look further than this example.
Anyway, back to the game. We need to adjust to the shape of the ground quickly, and use diagonal forward movement towards the corridor at every opportunity. If we do then the ground opens up and we can score. If we don't we'll run out of space down the line and Geelong will do exactly what we should be doing against us.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

This is like 2015. I liked that year much better.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
