Geelong Preview July 18th

This Saturday, today, we play Geelong at Geelong. Our season is getting down toward the end and we only have three weeks (four games) to go in the regular season. Where we are sitting at the moment in comparison with the other teams in the conference is: we are tied with Knox right now. If we win out and they lose one game we will have the second spot. The top four teams from each conference make finals. The top two have a bonus on their side where if they lose the first game they get a second chance as it is double elimination for the top two teams.
This weekend will be a good game as Geelong got us the first time but I don't think we played the best against them. Geelong will be a pretty loud place as they usually get a pretty nice crowd. The Stadium there is probably the best we play at. I think there used to be a NBL (Natioanl League) team in Geelong and the stadium is the same on they used to use. For introductions, the shut the lights off and have the spot lights that go around and each player runs out of the hallway/tunnel. Geelong, at least when we played them last year, had a lot of fans there I would imagine it would be exactly the same way this year. I think they get some of the best crowds in the competition, so it will a good atmosphere to play in.

After the weekend off last weekend the girls will be looking to finish off the season with three big wins as they only have 3 games to go. This weekend is one of the rare weekends where we don't play at the same place. This weekend the girls are taking the 4 hour drive north-east to Albury whereas we are down in Geelong. Right now the girls are looking to finish right in the middle of the mix for finals and with three wins might be able to improve their spot. One of the girls didn't practice this week because of an injury and might be out this weekend, so it will be interesting to see how the rotations will go. Hopefully Katy will be able to get some more time as she is still working just as hard as ever.
