Speculation on the team to pile on the Cats - 2020 round 16

Wanderlust · September 3, 2020, 11:59am

Will be announced Saturday evening

Aceman · September 3, 2020, 11:59am

We play Sunday

Wanderlust · September 3, 2020, 12:08pm

Stanley and Tuohy in doubt this week. Selwood not 100% to play either.

They’ve flagged that they may bring in Fort, Jenkins or Ratugolea. Do we have match ups for them?

Deckham · September 3, 2020, 12:15pm

I don’t think Zerk is ready for Hawkins. He will need a lot of assistance. The guy is twice his weight. There’s always Hooker to help out, if he’s down back, I suppose.

HirdMentality · September 3, 2020, 12:51pm

Given our awful defensive matchups this year, I can’t wait to see Gleeson lining up on Hawkins at the first bounce

Wanderlust · September 3, 2020, 2:17pm

So maybe, rest/omit BZT, Hooker goes back and we play two rucks in Phillips and Draper?

Does McKenna get a game? Or is he done for the year?

jonovdp · September 3, 2020, 3:15pm

Isn’t there whispers that McKenna has left the group… and possibly back in Ireland?

percebushby · September 3, 2020, 4:08pm

What would Worzel Gummidge do ?

He’d put Zerk on Hawkins, to harden them both up.

Remember: Hawkins may be a very big unit but in Worzel-speak he’s a pink marshmallow.

Wanderlust · September 3, 2020, 4:18pm

Really? In the last day? Him and Townsend were on Instagram on game day playing golf.

Tippa-the-Iceberg · September 3, 2020, 6:59pm

Just did ladder predictor by picking favourites for remaining 3 rounds,and two scenarios for us-

Win one game- 10th
No games- 13th.

That win is of course against the Dees.

So…lets bring Hibbered or Gulp,Cutlerina back as I think they both have 3 games to prove they even deserve mild consideraction to stay on the list.

I have Hibbered ahead of Cutler simply because Cutlerina is just embarrassing to our colours.

BZT did very well against Hawkins in the Colac preseason match .

choppsuey · September 3, 2020, 9:13pm

forever.

Heptides · September 3, 2020, 9:24pm

Do a shot every time we hit a target by hand. You’ll be stone cold sober.

stir_fried_ewok · September 3, 2020, 9:32pm

Never.
This week is Return of the MacK.
I hope.

Heptides · September 3, 2020, 9:33pm

So I expect we will manage McGrath “conservatively” until about 2 weeks before round 1 next year when we put him in for surgery.

choppsuey · September 3, 2020, 9:34pm

bad news for ya, McGrath is out for the season.

stir_fried_ewok · September 3, 2020, 9:35pm

MacK will be back.

choppsuey · September 3, 2020, 9:36pm

Special_Agent_Johnny · September 3, 2020, 9:41pm

Geelong love an intercept mark in defense, Hooker has to stay forward to try and even those 50/50 contests.
Plus it gives BTZ a chance to learn off Hawkins.

Don’t care who comes in but Hurley should be put into surgery, Daniher rested, Gleeson dropped and obviously McGrath out.

aboods · September 3, 2020, 9:43pm

Hooker forward didn’t stop West Coast taking intercept marks all day. He’s not capable of getting to enough contests these days
