Eddie saying his mother could've kicked those goals.

Woulda coulda shoulda. Big Mouth got his just desserts.

The Cats have pulled another rabbit out of the hat and the young ones have come up trumps...Duncan BOG 2 weeks in a row, Gregson is going well and Blicavs was outstanding. Selwood had a hand injury and the Cats dine out on cold Pies.....

The pies aren't exactly a team full of experienced players that are guaranteed to be top 8.

Why does Bruce mention this blokes school so often?

Ask the Royal Commission?

Well, they were 4-1 going into the match and we've been crap all year. I know they are two mid table sides. It was a good win by Geelong.

I hope other people look out for Hamish's laugh.. it sounds like those dragon things ridden in Lord of the rings.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh"

 

[FastLane]

Cats played out of their backsides and had everything fall their way in the first q.
Pies chased tail and looked lost.
Rest of the game was reasonable even.
Cloke miss (the last one, not the previous few, nor whites misses or the rest of them) deflated pies momentum

Stevie J is pathetic and him and Goodes should go on holiday with Malthouse.

Stevic is still clearly the worst umpire in the game.

Medium to long term, pies look better prospect for mine

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Yeah, I suppose in the last few years there has been a couple of relatively poor teams make the eight and then get spanked and go home (Richmond, North). But if you take Freo, Hawks, Swans, Port as givens, if there are not another four better teams than the pies and cats by September it'll be an indictment on the competition more than anything else I think.

Having said that, the pies have a young list so that's maybe where they are and then they make a run next year. Geelong might be a different kettle of fish.

Correct. Geelong finishing in the top 4 at the end of the home and away last season was an indictment on the rest of the comp. When push came to shove, they were miles off Hawthorn, Sydney, Port and Freo. The problem the last few years has been other sides improving. Apart from Port, until this year, they'd all either been stagnating or going backwards.

Whether or not it was just down to the compromised drafts I guess we won't know.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

I'd still tip Collingwood to win by 67 again, everytime.

I thought he said his goal was to kick his mother!!!!

Would anyone seriously pick Selwood over Pendlebury?

Would anyone seriously not? Stats tonight suggest that Selwood with a broken hand is as good as a fit Pendlebury.

We can make a decent guess though, right? If the glut of KPPs and gun mids that went to expansion teams were instead across the other teams they'd likely be markedly better.

This isn't an argument against expansion, btw, just a comment on the point made here.

Correct.

Random question - why is Careys nickname duck?

If you see him sitting across from you glass in hand it's what you should do.

 

[Gaben]

And you'd pick Selwood over Pendlebury if you base your judgement over their careers. And tonight!

Nah ya wouldn't. One's a Roll's Royce, one's a Holden Commodore

The cats played really well and converted when it counted. We would have had to make every post a winner to come back into it and couldn't. Gregson, Blicavs, Duncan and Caddy were all good.

Happy we didn't just roll over and at least tried to fight it out. Thought Brown, Crisp, Oxley tried hard and Broomhead seemed to have impact.

Bad luck to young Cowan, poor bugger.

Genuinely uncertain which is allegedly which in your mind.

 

[Farang83150]

I fail to see your humor

Maybe because your American or at least you spell like an American...

I really want to know which one is which

 

[Farang83150]

I know
