Cats suffered a surprise defeat by Port last week and will be looking to bounce back? Tigers have been disappointing and will be up for this one as another defeat will make finals out of reach. Should be another classic game this week.

Cats will bounce back, 30+ win here for Geelong.

Why do we have to face good sides that lost the week before in consecutive weeks? God damn.

Cats to win but margin will depend on the inclusions at Tigerland. If Deledio, Maric, Rance and co come back in it could be a bit closer

Ivan won't play. :( But Lids and Tross are likely to play.

Yep Ivvy is still a couple of weeks away, I'd estimate a R9 or R10 return for him would be likely.
Lids and Rance are very close though by all reports, I have a feeling Lids could be rested the extra week even if fit though given we have the bye next week. #cottonwool
Sam McClure @sam_mcclure 3m
Great news @Richmond_FC fans - Alex Rance and Brett Deledio WILL play this weekend!
:D :D :D
Ily Lids :-*
...And Tross ily too mate ;)
Lids and Tross are back! ;D :-*
The Cats are officially phucked. :P ;)
Saw this stat earlier.
Tigers haven't beaten the Cats at the MCG since round 12 1999 :o
Yep it's been a long painful journey against the Cats for as long as I can remember Ric.
We really need a good performance here, to put our season back on track.
one of these teams will be 5 and two and the smart money is the tigers to go 5 losses :)
Cats will win easy. Should be 10+ goals.

An upset stomach maybe.........
stink it up dusty... gunna be cheap for Rnd 9..... already cheap, but I want him cheaper. ;D
Ideally I want Dustbin to be a late out. any flu going around tiger land :P or cotchin for that matter.
@TigerlandTone: No sign of Matt Thomas in the VFL game.
Petterd & Orren out there.
Tiges up 18-6. http://t.co/D7OHKaB4Lu
Thomas a late in?
More likely just an emergency (so we have one at the game) IMO but you never know.
Dusty out please.
yeh they usually hold 1-2 over as emergency

Go the mighty Catters! Let's bounce back and get a big win over those miserable Tiges!
Feels so dirty... #IGiveUp #pleasedonate
yes Lloyd!
AFL @AFL 28s
Final teams #AFLCatsTigers - No changes. Subs: Blicavs (@GeelongCats) and Edwards (@Richmond_FC)
Was never in doubt :P But no one would listen :P
Surprised Titch gets the vest, might not be a bad move though as he has the skillset to make a good sub. Thought McDonough might've been given it again, hopefully he can show something in a full game!
Shane Edwards, that is.
FFS I hate Sundays
Every Sunday our fantasy teams get screwed in some way
Hamish late out in Euros who is his replacement Shane Edwards ::)
Edwards sub finally they may see what a downhill skier this bloke is
Shane Edwards as the sub is interesting.
Very happy that some of the others are getting full games (Nippa, Madonna).
I actually like Titch a lot. Just hasn't been in form so far this year, will be interesting to see how he goes as sub today but might need a spell in the two to get his ass into gear.
C'mon Tiges, this is the big scalp we need.
You'll need more than the Force to get over the line Richmond.

Unfortunately Mr Edwards and he has some mates is why the Tiges are in the situation they are they will not have a crack when the going gets tough maybe they need to watch some replays of the Pies last few games :(
Richmond are hurting my eyes.
I don't even know what to make of this quarter.
Dusty Dusty Dusty...
Another possible injury. Hopefully Dusty comes back
We can't even get a kick into the fifty...

Looked like a rolled ankle. He landed on it in a contest.
He came back on and get a few more possessions so should be fine.
Cheers guys - he just came back on so hopefully he's right
Get the shovel out. The cats are burying them!
Sigh.
It's going to be a very long afternoon.
We need to get the idea that Stevie J is a fwd out of our head
He is an elite mid, and in terms of SC he is every chance to be 3rd, only behind Gaz and Pendles
Good Lord, Jack... what the flower was that?
Enright looks dead and buried as a SC stalwart, time to move him on I think.
Umpires flogging points off Lloyd.
Great goal Jack.

Besides last week he is scoring how I expect him to score
He will be my d6, and if I have trades left over I might luxury trade him later in the season, but surely you have more pressing issues than Enright at this stage of the season
Lids. Richmond finding something.
On the Enright issue. I don't have him but an 80 average is not good enough IMO for a premo D6.

He's not a priority but he seems to be costing me every week, I need a ton from him this week.
Lloydy. 8)
Yeah I hear you
McVeigh is the final defender I need, and then if it permits I can sideways Enright to Hanley etc later
And now Martin. Sweet. :)
I wish we played like this in the first quarter.

Yeah it seems as if a lot of teams have been embarrassed early.
Collingwood, Sydney, Carlton, Adelaide, North, Richmond, St.Kilda and Essendon have all had their moments :P
Also Richmond have been statistically better this game everywhere except inside 50s, hitouts and the scoreboard

The first and last of those will hopefully come together in the second half.
Not sure Hammer (and Ty) can out-ruck H-Mac though. This is where we need Ivan. :(
Titch couldn't have had a better start after taking off the vest.
That was not a free kick.
That was one of the worst free kicks I've ever seen
go Lloyd ;D
This is getting interesting.
I take back what I said earlier Tyrone, that was great. More of that please. :)
No wonder there's a blood shortage. We need to deport Selwood.
Selwood was bleeding before he kicked a critical goal and wasn't sent off by the umpire. Filthy.
Game over. We're not coming back from this.
Newy's sore...
So close yet so far.
We lost by a goal that should never have happened, that hurts.
Would definately have taken a 5 point loss at the start of this week.
Ok first of all umpires you can go and get flowered. Hard.
Secondly, although it's a loss I am very happy with that result. The boys fought hard against a top team and really did us proud this week. If we can put some more of those performances on then our season won't be a complete disappointment. :)

True this!! How many sliding into the legs free kicks were missed in this game, particularly in the last half. If you create a new rule then you should police it!
Oh and might I say, happy to take the 4 points but this game should have beer been this close! Not after the first qtr!!
Credit to Richmond for working back into the game but disappointing to see Geelong let that happen.
Enjoy not playing finals Richmond hahaha :P
So close but so far.. Gonna be hardto claw our way back from 2-5 but if we play like that every week we will be right in the mix.
What a difference it made having Rance and lids back in the side
Good performance Tiges, we played much better than the Cats after half time.
As a Geelong supporter for the day, it was a disappointing performance. The Tigers were definitely up and about after half time but the Cats should've been up by more at the half. Tigers were better in a lot of statistical categories but Cats looked dominant for that first half.
Umpires were pretty poor both ways but I don't think that affected the result.
If the Tigers can play like this for the rest of the season, only Hawthorn are certain to beat them. Of course, the hard part is keeping this form after the bye...
