It's one thing to hit top speed at training, but can be do the repeat efforts and find that acceleration needed during a game

Not to mention, your calf being "in the way" of many Cats players during the game

 

[Play it Sam]

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm relieved.
That Stanley gets up (yes I know they said he would)
That Martin's not dropped for Henry
That the stalwarts Duncan and Bews stay our greatest cheer squad.
There's faith in that, and confidence. Go Rhys, bloody champ.

 

[dudusmaximus]

..
Edit: He's missed more games in the past two months than he has in the previous four years. Hasn't had a break this long since 2021

You really should be the Official Stats Guru of this forum! Intended as a compliment.

Agree ,,, it is good selection

If he isn’t right… enter Ollie Henry.

Hope Martin and all the guys that take the field are in ripping shape.

 

[you pick one]

Heard L Hodge on what ever show he was on, was saying that his direct opponent should stand on his left side and give nudges to work into his right calf

What's wrong with Hodge! what's happened to head into the goal post.

 

[cats_09]

Love that it's not a featured player for this week's announcement but rather the coach getting his image in there

He said in his presser today that he only had a corkie and he's fine.

 

[dudusmaximus]

The way it's going, by the time Blitz retires, the only on-field role he wouldn't have played is that of the Umps.

 

[fpm84]

I’m here for all line up announcements to be made with The White Stripes as soundtrack.

 

[ndduyk6]

Only 6 players left from the grand final team. Big turnover in 5 years

probably the best geelong team we've seen in the last 5-6 years though

Brisbane lovefest on 360.

Do something Gerard

 

[Seeds]

Gees 360 tonight is the lions cheersquad show.

 

[Mr Meow]

Meek is miles ahead of OMac at this point in their careers. We're talking about a guy who has been overlooked for Darcy Fort almost all year, and will retire after this game.

He seems like a great guy, and was a pretty good footballer at his peak - but he's shot as a ruckman. As a marking tall, he might be able to at least bring a contest.

Famous last words I know, but on all available evidence, that's what he is.

The legend of a completely broken OMac was growing until this post.

I did call it that Seeds would declare Blicavs was smashed in the ruck battle 2 weeks straight. With Stanley in, Blicavs might not have to "lose" the ruck battle a 3rd time this finals series.

 

[Mr Meow]

I’d happily take a Lions player winning the NS as long as we win the game.

Don't say that. The Doggies board are lurking here and were utterly furious at our "arrogant" posters discussing which Cat they'd like to see win the Norm Smith.

 

[Mr Meow]

Yeah what I thought, but stopped myself- we can't infer he wouldn't be professional.
It's usually a pretty clear cut candidate on the winning team anyway.
Wasn't Jonathan Brown on it one year? Oh he was- 2022, I Smith.
It's a very prestigious position for Jack Reiwoldt (ex Chair) to be on it consecutive years .
Would prefer five non participating coaches than media people.

Browny was the only NS voter to give Dangerfield BOG if I recall correctly.

Geelong captain Mark Blicavs celebrates his 1000 th game

Man they have some jilted love turned stalker types over there

Gees 360 tonight is the lions cheersquad show.

It's been a Lions lovefest in the media all week

As well he should have
Welcome back naughty haha
just in time

Blicavs wasnt smashed. I said no such thing.

Permaban awaits post-Saturday's result either way. Out in a blaze of glory!

 

[Mr Meow]

Blicavs wasnt smashed. I said no such thing.

So he won the ruck battle and his 12 or so coaches votes were accurately assigned?
