Joy! A month after I returned to Scotland, Setanta are finally showing the Cats this weekend. And I get to write an article that should get published at the end of it (wonder if I can claim Setanta on the tax that I aren't actually paying anyway? Hmm..) I keep thinking this may be someone's idea of a sick joke, but two days out I'm pretty sure it'll be on now, at 5am this Saturday.
Further good news; the bastards at the UK Border Agency finally approved The Cattery's admin manager's visa and although they're trying it on in terms of actually returning the passport in a timely manner, she should be resuming her posie over here soon.
Ironically there may be more AFL watchers in Scotland now than in England. Main reason being that Setanta holds the exclusive rights to the Scottish Premier League, so a fair few punters up here actually have it (plus more people up north go for Virgin instead of Sky, and often get Setanta thrown in). Am yet to spot any Geelong gear up here but have noticed a bird at the gym wears a Bombers jumper a couple times a week, and spotted another clown in a Bombers scarf on Monday. Even seen Melbourne Victory merchandise; alas haven't found any fellow Catters just yet.
The Cats are boosted by the return of Captain and Vice Captain Tom Harley and Cameron Ling, respectively. Of course they have lost Gary Ablett for a few weeks, but the team shouldn't feel it (at least not against the Swans). David Johnson, who played the last two weeks, has been dropped. Sydney made no changes after defeating Richmond last week.
In the VFL the Cats are attempting to get their first win, in their first home game of the season against Werribee prior to the AFL match. Werribee however have two wins out of three and will be no pushover that's for sure. We're keen to see how Tom Lonergan, Nathan Djerrkura, Ryan Gamble and particularly Trent West go.
Cats by 37 points, big Tom Hawkins to bag four.
