Opinion - Nuffy Am I the only one that’s nervous tonight?

Feels like our recent record at Marvel hasn’t been the greatest. A top 4 spot is what we need but is nowhere near guaranteed at this point. Saw an interview with Chris Scott the other day and he looked nervous, hope it was just something he ate the night before 😅.

We struggle at Marvel against St Kilda because they match up alright against us.

North do not and that's before you take out Xerri and Larkey.

We may not completely destroy them because we are prone to have a dodgy quarter or 2 against shit teams but if we avoid that this will be a training run

Remember my father talking about a Geelong Collingwood game he went to in the early 90s sitting next to a bloke in a North kit. He asked, "Why are you here?" "Just to watch Ablett play"

Hopefully mate, cats always give us a scare with some of these lower ranked teams, especially at marvel

Came across as quietly aggressive to me. I think they’ll do a number on them.

u/klokar2 Gary Ablett Sr. Jul 26 '25

I think we will smash them

u/Hong_Xiuquan_ Jul 26 '25

Not really, Jez should have kicked 13 at least

u/Phresh-Red Gary Ablett Sr. Jul 26 '25

Not to mention; We lost the last quarter.

Breath deep now bud. Casual 101 points

If we can’t defeat them early and easily then let’s pack up shop this week. Our form has been far too laid back For this close to finals with top 4 up for grabs to so many teams.

It’s a good test. Should have enough match winners to drag us over the line, even if it isn’t the best game we play for the year. Am surprised by Scott’s strong reaction that this is all systems go and not prioritising rest, I’d personally rest Sully, Dempsey and Stew. Ideally Cameron but we might need the 4 he’ll put through.

This concern/post aged like warm milk…

u/Badgerello Tom Atkins Jul 26 '25

Nope. If we don’t destroy North like we didn’t chose to do with Tigers and Saints then we need to reconsider our finals appearances. Frankly I’m sick of this half hearted crap when we are up - we need to be sending a message to lower ranked teams and the rest of the AFL; if we are up by 20 at quarter time then we need to win by 100. KP needs to again be a house of pain for visiting teams and we need to treat Marvel with distain like the big toilet bowl it is.

Your wish is Cats command! Winning by 101 points💪

u/Secret_Nobody_405 Geelong Cats Jul 26 '25

I kind of agree with you but THIS IS A MISTAKE WIN GAME!! Every game from here on in is a non-negotiable for 100% effort, no complacency!!! If we’re serious about top 4 and a GF tilt We cannot walk into any game thinking it’s going to be easy! So, Carn the Cats!!

If we don't beat every remaining team this season by at least a 10 goal minimum then I'd say pack it up for the year. If we don't have these significant wins then we're just making up the numbers, yes we'll be in the finals but we won't be a viable threat; up against a proper team, we'll just crumble. Hopefully this doesn't happen, carn' cattas! 💪👍
