Can we rock up with our memberships, or do we have to pre-purchase tickets/seats?
I haven't heard or read anything.

Oh yeah & GO PIES!

Really looking forward to this game and with a bit of confidence too. Make no mistake it will be a test but we've come a long way this year.

Hey Dipper12, if you're in Sydney, you don't have to wait 3 hours, see it live atcome the Camelia Grove in Alexandria - the home of the Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club.

If I recall correctly the scum successfully used Walker on Podsiadly during there victory earlier in the season so perhaps we should consider playing O'Brien on him and instruct Harry to run off Pods at every opportunity.

Some potential matchups?

O'Brien vs Pods

Reid vs Mooney

Prestigiacomo vs Hawkins/Ottens

Goldsack vs Johnson

Shaw vs Chapman

Toovey vs Varcoe

Johnson vs Stokes

Tackle hard and kick straight enough and we will win this

Gotta get our big start. Geelong have won 14 last quarters this year compared to our eight. Our first quarters are where we establish a lead and then improve on it in the second. What we haven't done is build a winning lead by early in the third term against them since early 2008.

I'm confident we'll put more pressure on them than any team has this year. The two things that held us back last time was conversion and self belief. After the Saints win the self belief will be improved and the conversion has been better but still a bit shaky.

I would not be surprised if we shock them with our defensive pressure. They will handball it around across their backline to find a player with a bit of space and then try to zig zag it out through with their incredible kicking skills. We need to make sure they can't setup that free player with handball and we have to make sure their player kicking or carrying is under pressure. And we need to do it for 4 quarters as the Cats can kick 5 goals in 5 mins if you give them space.

Quietly confident we can compete well for 4 quarters this time.

Definitely pre-book if you don't have a reserved seat. There was only 1,500 AFL members seats left as of last night. That generally points to a big game.

Thanks for that Joel, will do!
