Firstly.....need to apologize to anyone who may have followed my play last week and took the Demons
I have now officially given up on them and certainly not a team to bet money on anymore. My best mate is a die hard Dees fan and we often talk alot of footy and he gave me some pretty compelling reasons as to why they'd win against Dogs regardless of their past records etc. Unfortunately they have a few players that are a little more overrated than what the media have you believe, blokes such as Maloney, Sylvia and Rivers who are 27 mature players and still unable to play consistent football week in and week out like other players with that many games experience and age.
Onto tonight's clash and what a game it will be
May as well say it now...I'm taking Geelong and hope that doesn't put you off because most gamblers are aware to stay away from 'own team' persuasion but I do believe we will play a far more intense and physical style of game than the effort we produced last week. The Eagles have been quite incredible this year and they absolutely destroyed the Blues only a coupld of weeks back to really put their hand up as a genuine contender for season 2011. Embley, Priddis, Selwood/s, Darling, Cox, Hurn and Glass in particular have been sensational. This game is going to come down to one thing, contested marks inside 50 and losing Lynch means Kennedy or Darling will need to rotate further up the field than usual but it may also be beneficial because it will allow LeCras to play one on one where he's nearly the best small forward in the game today.
The ruck duel will be awesome but I also see West Coast winning this battle as Cox at his best is always a better player than Ottens and Naitanui with his 40 inch vertical leap is going to really test out young Vardy's athletiscm for the 1st time at senior level. I still feel that Geelong have too many forward options, the names of Varcoe, Menzel, Stokes, Podsiadly, Johnson, Chapman and also Vardy will see them always have a hold of the game. The midfield players of Ling, Corey, Bartel, Duncan and Kelly will all be on their game and I think the competition will once again see the most underrated midfielder in Joel Corey really show his true value. He loves the big grounds, has an incredible gut running ability and will rack up 30 or more disposals.
This game will be an absolute beauty but I really can't see Stevie J or Bartel playing two poor games in a row and when those two in particular play better than average by their standards, it stacks up in Geelongs favor. Cats will win this game by 33 points
good luck.
Cats rested Mackie for a reason...he has been turning it over on the larger ground such as Subiaco. They are number for keeping opposition teams to about 70-85 points and they have rarely had the opportunity to play on Friday night with all AFL followers around the country tuning in tonight to watch em perform. Can see us winning between 4-6 goals but again it's too risky taking a total because we have been averaging over 100 points a game and you can see West Coast scoring at least 75-85 points themselves. 185.5 total will be mighty close
I'll see ya again in September Frenchy
Who were the best team in 2008?, 2009? What happened to them in those years?
