Ablett, Scarlett and Chapman Not Playing V Saints

[Dal_Santos_Gal]

GEELONG coach Mark Thompson has put the collective minds of Cat fans at ease by describing the leg injury to Gary Ablett sustained early in the match as "nothing to worry about".

Thompson said the superstar would be able to return in two weeks and also confirmed that the Cats would most likely regain premiership players Corey Enright, Max Rooke, Joel Corey and Joel Selwood for the NAB Cup quarter-final against St Kilda in Canberra next week. However, Matthew Scarlett and Paul Chapman remain at least another fortnight away from resuming.

Can't wait to see how we go next week. if u don't have foxtel why don't u find a venue that does eg the pub

[Teflon]

Its a qtr final so they have it only on Foxtel?

Smart lot down at AFL land...but I guess it adds to the whole "its only NAB Cup debate"...

[Otiman]

Steakout and the Sports Bar at Crown usually have good live foxtel coverage of the games. Bring a radio for the audio if you're that keen

[Teflon]

I hope Ablett makes a kracle recovery. Id like to play Cats near their best and with much the same side we had this week - to me this comps about kids and exposure...so why not to the best?

IF Eddy/Geary/Allen and Co stood up against scarlett and others all the "yeag but its only a praccy game" doomsayers might shut up....

[esaint66]

i think it will be great for the players like allan/geary/armitage etc to actually get more than one game like last year. great to see them play in the saints colours rather than casey colours.

perfect venue....mates house. ther a cats family so it will be great when we win

[Batnoe]

IMO


if we win next week we will win the whole lot


The next week we play


Either Essendon or Dogs

then we make the final

we just gotta get past this week

i think it is pretty much a case of whoever wins this game wins the comp

Saints Vs Hawks in the final is my tip

i think so too

we were second fav for this cup before they thought we were gonna throw against richmond, we will get some players back for week 4 and go out to win it (if we make it)

[Armoooo]

Disappointing, I want to see them at full strength...
We can win, not sure if we will but I hope we do, I would love to see us win the NAB cup, the money would be a boost and it just lets us see our younger players for longer...

Not as easy as that when you have baby! Can't just go to a pub or crown.
Luckly my parents have poxtel, so I will most likely end up there!

i think it'll be a saints v blues final. lets just make sure though if we make it to the final we dont lose thats the worst youve gone all that way for nothing.

[Armoooo]

Can you imagine if we did beat the blues in the final, for all their hype they would have actually gone backwards by not winning the cup...

[Otiman]

Hawks very ordinary against the swans, who did everything they could to lose. Seems they want to play in the NAB challenge without all the silly rule changes.

yeah but the play on grounds like peel oval in mandurah or some converted wheatfeild in Mukinbuddin that hasnt seen rain since Bert Newton had real hair

[saintsRrising]

I don't care if we win or lose...

Just want Gardi to get another match under his belt in the ruck and for the fringe to play against a quality opponents so we can test them out.

Lets hope all the fringe guys who are genuine chances to play in round 1 get lots of ground time.

Will be interesting to see how Geary goes against the Cats.

Plus C Gardiner, Raph, Jones.......and to some extent Allen (though he is nor really a round 1 prospect)

After his Tigers game also want to see X play most of the game as a pure midfielder to see how he goes.

Will be watching Eddy too even though he is a rookie...as well as Miles.

[Huzzad]

I don't get foxtel till the 26th

[Devilhead]

I know its a bit of a bullshite omen however last year the Cats beat the Tigers in the first round of the NAB cup

[Huzzad]

haha all omens are good omens!

What is the bet it will be a cats v saints GF though! Wouldn't that be a spectacle?

[Armoooo]

Lol, love the optimism devilhead
Will be interesting to see who Miles will be playing on, I wouldn't mind seeing him take on Lonergan...
