I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

AGE IS ONLY IMPORTANT FOR TWO THINGS - WINE & CHEESE!
I hear there's a bout of gastro doing the works around geelong at the moment. Could work in our favour..
Their unbeaten run at home has to end sometime, but I doubt it will be this weekend.
Is McVeigh going to make the trip down, anyone know? Would make a considerable difference.

We haven't beaten Geelong at Skilled this century but we got close once or twice.
Teams with a lock in the top four often fall off their game at the end of the home and away. Geelong's last defeat at Skilled was around round 21 four years ago.
So if they rest a few stars I'm upgrading my forecast from 'carnage' to 'embarrassing'.
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
I was at a game in 96 when we played Carlton (after they won the 95 flag). At their home ground where they had not lost a game there for about 15-20 games and we won.
It would be good to do that to Geelong this week.
Swans will give plenty of cheek at Skilled this weekend, what are they paying?

You'll get double figure odds pretty comfortably by Saturday.

Someone will take it.
I'm actually going this weekend. Got myself a gig at the Pres lunch. Be there with my Swannies colours on. Could be like Optus Oval in 1996 against the Blues. No one expected us to win that day, and when we got up, the locals in the Social Club became very hostile.
I remain hopeful of a repeat
