Preliminary Final: Geelong Cats vs. Sydney Swans, Fri 23rd Sept, 19:50, MCG

[Hellopplz]

The Prelim of the teams who've been in the finals picture for years, who will make it to another Grand Final?

Please win this, Sydney! I couldn't stand the Dangerfield/Geelong wank fest if they made the Granny hahaha.

ha, ha! Wish I could give you a bit more optimism TomK but this is gonna be a slog for the Swans ...  :-X   :-\    ;)

Hoo boy, walking wounded but that's why they're the bloods!  ;)

I am hopeful but I don't think we have the depth to cover all these recent losses - Mills, Tippett, Rohan, McVeigh ...

Only hope is if all of the top 4 (JPK, Hanners, Parker & Buddy) dominate the game - or additional efforts from Titch/Rampe or similar ...

I saw a lot of turnovers under pressure last night (Aliir Aliir, Naismith & even JPK) that led to goals for Crows, won't be able to get away with that against Cats ...

Hopeful, but really worried - hopefully the week off means that Cats are sluggish, though unlikely with all their vets ...   :P    ;)

Go Bloods!

Yep.. C'mon the Swannies!

swans should win.     the go down to doggies in gf.

Cat's I think will win this clash. Sydney have lost some important players in a couple of hard tough games, Cats are fresh heading to the MCG, hard for Sydney now. Wouldn't say they aren't without a chance but will take something special.

[Ringo]

Agree with Grazz - Some injury concerns may tilt Geelongs way. McVeigh will be really missed if he does not get up and a lot of Swans pace goes with Rohan. Still it is a final between 2 teams and and could still go either way.
Can not wait to see Dange, Duncan and Selwood v Hanners, JPK and Parker.

[Jukes]

Sydney certainly with the recent form against the cats:
R16 2016: Swans by 38
R19 2015: Cats by 32
R7 2015: Swans by 43
R11 2014: Swans by 110

Those stats indicated this one will be a blow out but I hope not :X another fact, these teams have never played against each other at the MCG (under the Sydney Swans name) despite both teams being in GF contention for the better part of 10+ years! And they haven't played in a final against each other since that one in 2005...

[enzedder]

Cats will win.
Hope they do anyway.

[elephants]

Geelong will win imo.

Lucky for the Cats they're playing a top 4 team not a bottom 4 side.
