Really don't know with tonight's match.
Geelong only just got over Carlton when they met last, Geelong minus Bartel and Johnson and a 6 day break. Carlton gaining Judd and are playing better footy then in round 13. It's 3rd vs 13th, and I'm inclined to go Carlton for some reason.
Can't wait for the WC match.

No Henderson will hurt them. Geelong were rubbish last time and will play a lot better than they did then. Yes, Johnson and Bartel are out but the strength of the Cats is Taylor, Enright, Mackie and Lonnegan. Geelong has been strengthened in midfield with the Stokes, Christensen and Caddy starting to get a block of games together. Motlop will provide another dangerous option up forward.

I reckon it will be like the last eleven Cats v Blues game. Close game with Geelong getting the choccies by around 10 points.

I'm just concerned that Selwood is most likely going to be tagged hard tonight, can Stokes, Christensen,Caddy carry the extra workload. And if it is close, usually Bartel or Johnson always step up and get you over the line.

Have a horrible feeling the Eagles will belt us. Last roll of the dice IMO by gambling on guys with no match fitness. Jobe's leadership has been missed but a big ask to come in and dominate after 3 months off, Hibberd and Ambrose back after a few weeks out also. Cant see where the goals will come from with Carlisle out and both Ryder and Hurley under injury doubts and very possible late withdrawals. No Fletch and Hurley at the back will leave us exposed to the Eagle tall forwards.

I think Jobe will play full forward. Essendon will need to keep it as low scoring as possible to get the win.

Is Hurley a late withdrawal?? Has been named in today's paper.....

Earlier in the week I was on the eagles, but with Watson & Hibberd in am now swaying to the bombers. The bombers mids are better and run deeper than the eagles but in saying that am worried who will kick the bombers goals?? Daniher to kick 8??

Hurley and Ryder having fitness tests today, both in doubt

[carey]

I guess what I mean is the backlash of losing this game from a Melbourne point of view. The draft pick will be a incentive but the back lash will be far worse from a Melbourne point of view if they lose this game as opposed to a GWS point of view that have already shelved about half dozen blokes for post season Op's for next year.

Scully, Cameron, Coniglio, Mohr and Whitfield

Yep, the Dees have more to gain than GWS by losing

[carey]

Game over.

[carey]

Why does every team tag Murphy over Gibbs? I think Gibbs outside run and ball use hurts more than Marc Murphys game.

[mighty_tiger_79]

The umpiring is diabolical both ways

[helicopterking]

And that free kick Selwood got shows how soft AFL has become.

[carey]

2 Disgraceful frees gift the Cats a goal.

The bump on Sellwood was a terrible one
