Where and when: Kardinia Park, 2:10pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R5 2020: Geelong 13.11 (89) DEF Gold Coast 8.4 (52) at The Cattery.
The Cats were steered to their third win of the season by midfielders Mitch Duncan (25 disposals) and Sam Menegola (23), while Joel Selwood, in his 300th game, was also excellent. The Suns’ streak of three wins was ended in their first game away from Metricon Stadium for the year. They played the majority of the game without young gun Matt Rowell, who suffered a shoulder injury early in the first quarter and sat on the bench for the rest of the game with his right arm in a sling.
Match Preview: Both teams are coming off good wins last week so confidence won’t be a problem. Will the Ratten game plan hold up against much tougher opposition though? Does he have the cattle to execute it? My money’s on the Cats but I’m looking forward to the battle.
Motts Watch:
Geelong
Duncan, Stewart, Guthrie, Hawkins
Gold Coast
Greenwood, Miller, Anderson, & Lukosius (the latter 2 I’m looking forward to seeing how they respond after copping a bit of a bake from Kingy last week)

That brown stain Lukosious named in defence where he toned up twice in first three rds. Hope he stays there…..haven’t had a chance to move him on and he stays now till his r12 bye.
Expect an uptick in scoring and continuity of role with Bowes out for the next fortnight.
Chin up, Wighty.
Nice GD…forgot about Bowes.
What a turn around….main oppt had v on satan not Gawn…so lukosious might just get me over the line….with a little help from pod Bailey Dale !!
What do you think of Stewart as a VC?
Can anyone watching this game on pay tv tell me what channel this game is on? The guys at the pub can’t find it on foxtel.
Thanks
All good. They found it.
Thanks
503
Thanks wighty
Duncan off for concussion test. @#&@!
Argh, f*ck!
I’m so sorry, CT. That’s such b*llshit.
Was looking like a sage move, on track for 80 at HT.
That’s the way it goes.
Heavy tackle by Holman hit his head on ground. Very woozy. I doubt he will come back on.
He was going very well and was BOG.
And of course another player goes down, time to add that as another piece of bad luck.
Who will be the next premo to receive an injury?
Feels like the cats have phoned this one in. I think they turned up thinking we have this won. GC have done well to hold geel to a 13 point leed. Cmon cats come out and have a crack. This really should be a big win.
Yeah, smacks of complacency.
Props to the Suns for fighting, hopefully they compete till the end.
Is Duncan out?
Being assessed for concussion.
Mitch Duncan has been ruled out for the rest of the game, replaced by medical sub Zach Guthrie.
oh FFS cannot take a trick this year in the Tech team!! A few thousand short of Guthrie so took Duncan … and he was looking great … cannot believe this …
Yep, he’s done. Confirmed.
Little Guthrie on as a the sub.
And Guthrie is out now. Cats in a bit of hot water
Little Guthrie to avenge his brother and seal the game lol.
nothing showing he is out yet on FF?? Saying shoulder knock ATM??
Reply looks bad Macca. Hit the ground very hard and awkward angle. Zac Smith landed on him too.
cheers CT – just came in from out in the yard doing work and was getting ready to watch the scoring on Gawn! – only to see all this news!!
Now after I wrote that Guthrie is warming up!
Back on in last quarter playing forward.
I think I need to make public disclaimers on which premos I choose to bring in XD XD
Because they seem to get injured the very week I trade them in.
Two rounds ago I got Bolton, last round I got Marshall and this round I got Guthrie in. I know everyone has got similar issues, but surely not many have been this jibbed with trading misfortunes haha
Argh, sorry, that’s so f*cked Corey.
Similar thing on my end, got two games out of Bowes and RoMo then both out for 40s.
Not to worry, luck a huge part of SC. Will eventually turn your way, onward and upward.
Hopefully, but I’m not fancying my chances right now of fortunes turning my way
Next years format for SCTTL????……LOL
I’m gunna post my team. I will pay good money for u to stay away from my guys
That’s what I mean. I should announce who I’m thinking of bringing in, and everyone else should go for another guy haha
Guthrie back on, strapped up.
