RD 4 - SUNDAY

Richmond @ Geelong
ATS - CATS -33.5 (x2) LOSS

Geelong will play it's first game of the season at its home ground in Geelong. This is  a big occasion as the club will get the opportunity to send off its recent retired greats and also unveil the 2011 Premiership flag! Coming off an uncharacteristic loss last week to the Kangaroos I expect this proud group to be seething!

Richmond are coming off their first win of the yeay as they took care of melbourne last week and will feel some what confident about todays match having performed very well here against the Cats in the NAB Cup. Now that is only a practice match but still wins against geelong down here are few and far between.
Geelong has an impressive record against the Tigers having won 15 of its past 16! the last 2 games have been blow outs by 50 & 100+ points! Geelong needs to improve in many areas none more so than its contested ball! this is an area the Cats have set the standard in previous seasons and I expect a big lift from the midfield group of Selwood, Bartel, Corey, Christensen, Chapman etc.
With the occasion set, Playing at home coming off a loss, their recent record against the Tigers and a little revenge from that NAB Cup game I see noth but a strong showing from the Cats today. They will be back to their best and keen to make a statement. Geelong win this one well!
