    Defining match.
    Haven't won at Boggy Park since I had hair. Luxurious hair.
    If we win this, I reckon it unlocks our potential and belief for a real tillt in 2021.
    We looked close in 2016, but lost Libba and Macrae by half time, and we struggled thereafter.
    With a game in Perth against Wet Toast following , we need this.
    0-2 in Friday night matches this year. Have to pull out all the stops for this one.

    Agree with the premise of your post, but we've beaten both GWS and Collingwood in Friday night games this year.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Do you agree with this article?

    In the land of the AFL rebuild Geelong are serial renovators – finally they have it right

    Geelong are the most kissed on the dick team in Victoria. Good players fall in their laps because of their location, they have the only pure homeground advantage in the state and they are the only team to make a fortune off smallish crowds
    The curse is dead.

    Port & Brisbane highly likely to be 36 points by next week.

    A) We beat Geelong and go to 44 points (& top of the ladder), cats go back into the pack on 36 points. On top by 20% and then 2 wins & 20% inside top two.

    B) We lose, stay on 40 points equal with the cats. Heading off to WA the week after.

    I know every win is ‘huge’ to get to top two and stay top two. But this is potentially season defining.

    Their home ground advantage is the single biggest considering they don't have to travel far to Melbourne like the interstate teams do.

    Was thinking if we finish second and don't get a Marvel final it's the biggest finals home ground disadvantage. How can you play somewhere twice (MCG) and have that as your advantage for a higher finish especially when there's the added chance of an MCG tenant as an opponent. The more I think about it the less I feel we need to try and maximise the gate as our excuse.

    No games in Melbourne next weekend, moved to Tassie.
    Dogs will still play at GMHBA Stadium, no crowd.

    No games in Melbourne. We’re still playing in Geelong but with no crowds. Apparently cats could have moved the game if they wanted to but they didn’t. They must really want the home ground advantage against us.

    No crowd. That’s handy with no crowd pressure on free kicks and assisting enthusiasm into momentum. It’s not ideal to play in an empty stadium, but there’s silver lining. Our boys don’t have to take a couple or few flights and should be somewhat normal to prepare. I can live with it.

    Geelong and their marginal electorate white elephant pissant toy ground gets preferential treatment once again. If Melbourne matches are moved because of no crowds, why on earth is the Geelong Dogs game staying at that shithole?

    Their home ground is extra wide isn’t it? How does that affect us?
