Autopsy Cats lose to Lions by 47 odd in GF
This is all on the proviso that it is easy to say X or Y should have happened and if it did we maybhave had a different result when that is not necessarily the case. Few things that bug me, now the dust has settled: 1. Stanley in was possibly a mistake and staggering Cameron wasn't subbed off... -
Review Geelong defeat Hawks "when it matters" by 6 goals to make another Grand Final
Huge credit to Jhye Clark. I've had doubts previously but he really stood up in some big moments when we were against the wall tonight. -
Preview Prelim Final 25 - Geelong V Hawthorn Fri 19th Sept 2025 740pm @ MCG
Good to see you still contributing :) Fairly nerve wracking day ahead... hope you and your brother can enjoy the game on opposit sides of the world! -
Review 2024 Season review thread
Absolutely - we still had 120 minutes of footy to play, against a good team. Yeah, maybe... but not sure I totally agree. Sydney can win GFs, they just haven't. It's just all a bit weird. If it wasn't for blowing a 46 point lead in round 1, Brisbane likely have home finals. They're a good... -
Review 2024 Season review thread
To follow up - had we held on in the PF, and then saw Brisbane fans on here saying 'we dropped the cup in our first 3 weeks, the PF should have been at the Gabba' guarantee they'd be getting called 'arrogant flogs' on here. Footy is a dynamic game, with - this is the important part - an... -
Review 2024 Season review thread
Yep. You also said you 'agree 100%' that we somehow 'dropped the cup' - the idea this year's flag was ours but for our own ineptitude simply doesn't stack up. That's the sentiment I was challenging. We obviously agree it's disappointing, but apparently for very different reasons. -
Review 2024 Season review thread
It looks like that, but is it true? If yesterday's game was somehow replayed immediately after, there's no guarantee Brisbane themselves repeat that win. Every game is an isolated outcome. Do Collingwood stroll to the flag in '07 'but for' one more goal in the PF? Port in '14? Maybe, maybe... -
Review 2024 Season review thread
This seems less 'well reasoned frustration' and more 'pouting and baiting for reactions'... out of frustration. You can't drop a cup from the prelim. And not sure how we lost the flag with everything falling our way - Brisbane beat us. That's a pretty major element that didn't fall our way... -
Autopsy Lions prevail by 10
'Only flags matter' is kind of obvious, but maybe a bit flawed... and it's a silly way to gauge 'the best' team anyway. The % chance of 'the best' team winning it will always be less than the chances of 'someone else' winning it. If you are an 80% chance of winning three finals (which is heavy... -
Game Day 2nd Prelim Final Geelong v Brisbane Sat Sept 21 2024 515pm @ MCG
Duncan sub, no late changes. -
Which 4 players from our premiership team (2007-2011) would you pick to be in our current team?
Can't really pick players from the 07 - 11 side and leave out Johnson... so David Johnson in first for me. Love the idea of Tenace hitting Cameron on the chest in the pocket, with a wobbly bullet that was actually meant for Hawkins leading up the middle. So he is in number 2. We could use some... -
AFL Grand Final Greatest Team Of All Time: Geelong ... March 6
Sorry, left that out - only saw it for 2011. "Premier's Cut" would be the one I was thinking of... thanks! -
AFL Grand Final Greatest Team Of All Time: Geelong ... March 6
Can someone remind me what the name of the GF replay with Whateley (I think) rewatching the game with Scott and various players? And second question, anyone know if that was a one off, or are there similar for every GF? -
Music The music thread
I've grown up and graduated to capitals, yeah... when I started posting again, it just looked kind of silly. Also, I was posting using my phone more, and going back and de-capitalising was a nightmare. Stones I could honestly take or leave. Haven't listened to their whole catalogue, and they...- Words: 270

Opinion Have We Become THOSE Supporters?
This year? Round 3, and Joel's milestone was most games captained, not his 300th. The booing was related to an incident involving Selwood and someone else, I believe. A pretty heavy head high tackle that looked a bit ordinary, maybe? It wasn't "just because" booing. That sort of thing is all...
