Where and when: Gabba, 5:40pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 21, 2019. Geelong 9.15 (69) ABSOLUTELY FLOGGED North 1.8 (14)
What it means for The Cats: Sitting 6th on 5 and 4 and coming off a loss out West, Geelong need to make a statement against a lower placed team.
What it means for The Roos: North did what they needed to against The Crows last week. Knocking off The Cats would send a message that they’re not going to be the comp’s whipping boys any longer.
Motts Watch: Jy Simpkin. I’ve been filthy on him for 3 weeks. If he had the bye this round he’d be walking around with the imprint of my boot on his backside. Lift, son!
Mottsy’s Tip: Cats by 30

No Late Changes to either team
Stewart to go 207, McKay 137 and Close 247. Too much to ask for?
Taylor Rankine hill out
in Stewart & Duncan
& skinner unfortunately .
Backline finished
400k in the war chest
Rookie to Simpkin next week
What to do with smith & smith ?
Jo , Just checking you have Lloyd, Sicily, Ridley and at least any of Maynard/Haynes/Williams/, a POD and now Stewart? that would be the template in my opinion.
Ha ha
Not even close
Ryan Ridley docharty Stewart Doedee Hurn
Starcevich Zac-thatcher
PS
I said finished not perfect
Traded out Simpkin… As I imagine many others did.
He’ll go big today
Not too big.
I want him next week. 😉
Went against the golden rule, always hold your premiums…Simpkin looks like he’s back!
Trey Ruscoe who has DPP T/U
Schoenberg T/D
question for tech team – if you can trade out Simpkin for Stewart via duals, should you??
Trades running low, and will leave no cash … but is it a sign?
Edit – not Stewart, Doedee!! Back to accounting school for me!!
T/U – yes do it
T/D – hold Simpkin
i’ll show myself the door on that one folks – lack of sleep and not leaving much time tonight – gee, work has a lot of explaining to do for itself!!
But thanks for the responses regardless!!
Whos the best rookie for to trade in before this game?
Don’t mind if they have played one game or debuting this week and can be any line
Draper.
Hands down.
Whoops sorry brain fade as I should have clarified that. I’ll rephrase. Getting Draper already need another rookie to afford Duncan. Whos next best?
JCole Check the articles on Cash cow talk and Rookies review. Plenty of entries in there
I’ve already spent 2 trades this round, and I’ve spent max trades this season. Is it worth using another to bring in Draper? Or is he not that important?
T/U: You gotta get him in
T/D: Save the trade, you’ll need it later
Need a captain since Macrae as VC didn’t work out and don’t have Neale
TU : Gawn – under injury cloud but playing bottom side
TD : Grundy – not looking 100% either as with D Cameron in, may be rested a bit
GAWN May still be a late out
Great point – have just switched from Gawn to Grundy!
Darcy Cameron is out
Any reason? Lucky I sold King for Draper, moves him forward and put the E on Aarts!
As a Pies fan I have no idea. Hopefully just a rest for a week.
Welcome Mr Stewart…a repeat of last week would be a great first up result.
Can already tell Simpkin is gonna serve up another shit sandwich
Still getting over his injury
He’ll come good & still be a top 6 fwd I recon
He’s looked a lot better this quarter.
Seems a confidence issue along with the ankle.
lol
Hosie (FWD $123,900) looking like a nice cash cow to bring in next week…already on 35 at QT!
Those two first quarter goals and injuries to Taylor and now Ben Brown make his JS solid. Comes in next week for many, including myself.
Also, Jack Steven eating up Duncan’s CBAs, get out of the centre mate!
Need to get a message to Scott that Danger needs a little run on the ball sometime !!
they said at the start he’ll be rested a fair bit forward … concerns over the back to back to back games…
Ben Brown out of the game. knee?
Correct
Mr Stewart…I didn’t recruit you to serve up this garbage. Maybe with Brown out there is no matchup ?
Priced @ 90 ish
He’s going ok
Thats better. Shame my other two in this game went backwards that qtr.
He’s on Majak
I would’ve brought Hosie in if I knew Brown was going to go down and possibly be out for a bit
If you haven’t checked the other threads yet, legend Chaos has posted the teams for tomorrow – those banking on D Cameron – bad news … again, omitted
Buckley = new FURL!!!

Stevens is really stealing Duncan’s role, stats, points for sure in this game …
Would think he’s Still not fully fit
I expect he’ll drop off in the 2 nd 1/2
Hawkins looks fitter than he’s ever been
Surfing must agree with him
Message to my 3 Cats players, Danger, Duncan and Stewart, so you think you could actually outscore Simpson who I traded out this week please….??
If you 3 could get together and sort that out this last quarter it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Scott is resting them. Oh well
Lol
Danger is a big game player
Duncan probably still gaining fitness &
Stewart is trying to stay awake with not much to do back there
Do emergency still count ?
Only if they’re covering for a non playing player on your field
Trade out simpkin and his score……. bloodyhell
Welcome aboard Simpkin
See you next week
Danger in the middle with 5 minutes to go…
Full Time – Cats win by 33 points and coaches who brought in Stewart will be disappointed with his score, especially if they traded out Simpkin.

Fml was supposed to bring in both Duncan and Stewart but missed the start of game! Thought it was a 7.10pm start like the other games earlier in the week! 2020 sucks. Oh well, my bad. At least I can bring in Cripps, Simpkin next week. And I guess Stewart/Duncan are still cheap enough if I still want them….
