What's under-discussed in this forum is that if Hawthorn pump Collingwood (highly likely),Freo win (likely) and Richmond win (possible), Geelong will know the best option is throwing the game vs Brisbane so we play Hawthorn in week 1 instead of Sydney in Sydney
Geelong Cats Twitter account is teasing us with a little out of Balme's cook book re. Hawk:
GeelongCats: Boys beginning to trickle in to the rooms. Focused looks like the theme of the day. The big Tomahawk does have a smile of his face.
Just saw that article on theage.com.au too. Trying to make sense of that Balme's cryptic speak but can't. Have absolutely no idea whether Hawkins will play. I think he has to play, but we'll just have to wait for teamsheets at 6.30pm or whenever it is that they are filed.
Honestly feel like we're not putting our best team out there. Surely Smedts & Horlin-Smith > Stringer & Murdoch? I concede I've not seen our VFL team play this year. Has Murdoch & Stringer's VFL form been superior to Smedts & GHS? Because Smedts & GHS both shown a lot more in the AFL this year.
It's a say day, but what a great career big fella. Echoing the sentiments of many above, Otto is a Geelong champion now. Originally recruited as a forward, he became one of the best ruckman in the club's history. His cameos forward were quite awesome too. In fact I reckon the Hawthorn backline...
Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Congrats Lingy, a tru Geelong champion! What a way to go out!
No suggestion of Joel Selwood attending the press conference. Surely Selwood is automatically instated as captain? Could it/should it have been done today?
Congrats Sando!
Really wrapped for him! Just a great bloke. I still have loads of cats paraphernalia signed by Sando from when I was a kid, because he used to always chat with my grandmother when he was working at the gym/pool in grovedale during his time as a player.
Disappointed he'll...
Re: Had enough of Hawkins
Agree with the prevailing sentiment here. Hawkins was reasonable in the first half and not great in the second half. That turnover by foot in the centre hurt, but it was nice to see im take the game on and his attack on the footy on the wing there was awesome. He was...
A man named Gary Ablett might have something to say about that!
Good post nevertheless. I am fast becoming a big Varcoe fan. His ball use is first class and he is winning more footy and harder at it than ever. Exciting future ahead.
Someone please correct me here, but Chapman was in, and he was no better than the rest. Although injury clearly had a lot to do with his performance. Dam I hope Chapman is fully fit come September. He will be needed, no doubt
What do people think about Gamble? All the club is saying up until now is that he was concussed, but was out of hospital before the game had finished. Why would he not be able to play? Sometimes players are given a week as precaution when concussion occurs i suppose.
I for one like Gamble in...
