Danger game IMO, some niggling injuries, while wouldn't like to lose, need to keep our eye on the big pictute.
Will be an interesting team selection.

na. dont want to give any team the edge leading into september, knowing they can beat us

win this one and then let 1 of the bombers or GC win. Preferably the druggos so they can get up and about only to miss the finals on %

x2. Their GF. They will be giving this everything much like GWS game. I’ve got a feeling the umpires will be helping them out on Friday night too.  :shh

We owe this club more in the last 20 years than any other.  If we smashed them it would be demoralising much like what we did to Adelaide.  :rollin
Some Players might quit football after Friday night.
The club that keeps giving.

LOL as much as I hope we kick seven shades of night soil out of these whinging ponces, If we aren't cruising it in, I hope we don't go stupid and risk anymore injuries and save it for the finals and hopefully the big dance at this stage. 
Lots of people name their swords......

Damian Barrett:

If .... there's a curve ball to be thrown into the premiership possibilities ...

then .... it's the Cats beating Richmond at the 'G. Reckon they will.

The expected crowd has been downgraded to 65k.

Seems Cats fans don't like Friday night games at the 'G.

Actually for the 1st time this season genuinely nervous about a game, this game

I am pretty relaxed about it as it is not critical we win.

However want to win and win well just so we can put Scott back in his box. He has been talking up a big game from his team all week and with that smug look on his face.

5 premiership players out of our best 22 not easy to cover.I still don't rate Cats highly slow and there last couple of wins have been against dees who dominated them and lions they aren't travelling as well as media say.Play 4 qtrs and hit them hard and pressure and need all contributing confident.

I feel that this is a game we will drop, we are missing some crucial players now.

Will be a good contest though and I expect our midfield will bounce back after not having a great week last week. (still won though :-) )
