Changes vs Geelong

So was ralphsmith in red. I think they just try and even out the teams.
Generally the A team train mostly in Yellow depending on drills , the B team in Red with a sprinkling of A's for balance at times, for example Bake's was in a red vest most of the session today, (he was the only genuine A grader donning the Red in match sim so it does give you some idea ).
Juddy was in Yellow all day and appeared like he will probably retain his spot?

so what makes you think he will get a recall???????????????
My thoughts?
It was something I picked up on today in the presser from Dimma where he said Geelong are a really 'strong' side. By that I took it as physical.
My sense is that may mean a player like Clarke could come out for a seasoned body vs the Cats. George may have some flaws but speed & strength aren't one of them.
I'd prefer Rioli but we will see. George has served Dimma well.

Just on the Cats..I'm not really sure how good they are yet as their form line to this stage of the season isn't that impressive in spite of their ladder position.
This game is the start of a really tough run for them.
Obviously Cameron, Stewart, Guthrie & Stengle are the ones we'll most need to watch.

Please stop with Stengle.
He is kicking goals against shiit sides.
If he kicks 2 on Baker or Rioli,
We should shut shop for the year.
Stop Cameron we WIN.
Broad and Flappers to watch him all game. Tackle with hurt factor

They are my tip for the flag this year, I really want to be wrong though.

Whilst I think there are some good teams that should make top 4 (Lions, Freo and Dees of course), I just think they can get it done this year given we are not going to be the club that blocks them. If we made top 4 (cant see it), maybe we'd have a chance.

Never want to be more wrong.

There's a big difference between winning down there on their bowling alley, with a house packed full with screaming numpties that influence the umpires, and playing at the MCG under finals pressure.

As it sits right now, the flag is wide open and we've got as good a chance as any, better than most. If we bring the heat, they'll melt :cool:

Let’s face it…. Geelong are invincible. Jezza is the best forward in the competition right now by far. Tommy Hawkins is an absolute monster getting better each year. Paddy Dangerfield turns up every now and then with a vintage performance in between stints as AFLPA President and WWE appearances.

Then of course they have the most courageous AFL captain ever in Joel Selwood. Not to mention their very modest SuperCoach Scott. Anyone who watches Fox Footy or reads the Hun knows this.

Yeah... bit of a head scratcher watching that.... enough to make even Mark Robinson flabberbasted.
Apparently we've got no one capable of going with him....l might as well stay home.

the RFC really seem to be pushing ticket sales for an away game. Is the club making money off this game? or are ticket sales extremely dire? Or a bit of both?

Maybe the club is thinking we need to pump this up and bring the numbers so we avoid playing in Geelong in future years? either way, 25% off is a reasonable incentive.

Conspiracy theory AFL trying to boost crowd numbers by dropping prices.
