GF effort required vs Cats
I hope they leave nothing on the table.
I hope our boys are spent and take days to recover.
Do the above and we have a chance of beating Geelong.
The fixture helps us by having an eight day break then a bye match after the Cats. Can play several kids against GWS if a few players are still sore after Friday night.
100 tackles here we come!

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
fair enough call on GWS but cant take them like they are nothing.
If we rested 15 players of starting 22 even GWS would smash us.
You are right Cats on Friday is our grand final. EVERY week is our grand final.
Crows winning was great now we need North to win today as they should.
If the bombers win today ... saints put one foot in coffin

Watched the Giants yesty at Metricon. They were good in the first half, moved the ball well, very neat disposal. They seemed to tire in the third qtr and the Suns built up an ultimately winning lead.

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
I watched the Giants/ Tigers game and Richmond had banked the points and nearly lost. Don't rest players.
The Cats game will be a ripper, I'm worried that the umpires are now going to keep crucifying us though. I think Scotty went too far in his pointed criticism, never worked for Thommo either. We are a really hard team to read the form of. We are so close to teams like Collingwood and Sydney but somehow look shaky when it's crunch time. The Melbourne game was a training run with plenty of youth in the team.

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
Although we haven't got a snow flakes chance in hell of winning against the Cats but it will be a great test for the new guys to experience a pressure game and all the build up that goes with it. It should show who's capable of standing up in future pressure games. In the context of this year it doesn't matter if we win but I reckon in the context of building a new team it will be good to see which of the new and young players handle themselves. Looking forward to it.

It that based on losing by 4 points to the pies and nearly hitting the front against Sydney at their home ground with only minutes to play?

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
Yes, that and my incredible football knowledge tells me that the Cats are a class above and good teams just find a way to win just like the Pies and Swans did, even when they play bad.

But this is do or die.
And that's where our wise old heads come to the fore.
Yep, odds are stacked heavily against us, but there is some realistic chance of a miracle win.

A snow flakes chance in hell suggests we should be about 10 to one to win. Form suggests we will be $3 at best.

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
That's if you are using commercial betting odds. Whether it's one point or 100, form suggests Cats will win. If we win it's a bonus and we drink till sun-up, isn't that the Saints Mantra? I'm suggesting it is if you are over the age of 10.plugger66 wrote:Cairnsman wrote:Yes, that and my incredible football knowledge tells me that the Cats are a class above and good teams just find a way to win just like the Pies and Swans did, even when they play bad.

Re: GF effort required vs Cats
Who rucks for Geelong these days, are we any chance of breaking even at stoppages?
Riewoldt and Goddard to live up to their reputations ,Clarke and Ray to defy theirs in 2012!

The good thing is the rucks will not decide this game. It will be a battle of the mids. They have more depth so we need to be at our best.

That's a worry! At least if the opposition ruck wins a few there's a chance he might accidentally tap the ball to us.
When mcevoy wins its 100% going to the opposition. Couldnt tap a ball into a swimming pool next to him!
