    Resource The 'not worthy of a thread of its own' thread

    Listening to sen cats radio last night, Ben Graham recounted a blight story which I haven't heard before. Before one match, he gathered them all in room for team meeting, then switched out the lights so it was pitch dark. The lights then came on briefly, to reveal Blight having brought out a...

    Resource The 'not worthy of a thread of its own' thread

    This study was put in place last year, so not necessarily a portent of impending retirement - but yeah, pretty much zero chance he'll continue on next year.

    I'm just waiting for the "true story" that Hird promised to come out.

    Pity - big admirer of Elliot. That will also be it for the maggies in 2026 - he was their forward line.

    Review Cats Pluck Swans by 27 points...

    And we also got Mitch Edwards from that trade. Given that we also picked up COS and Mannagh, Wells can be pretty happy in that he nailed that draft

    Review Cats smash Lions by 41pts in battle of the felines GF rematch

    That nobody got 30 and 5 in 1999 does not mean the statement that "no-one has got 30 and 5 since 1999" is incorrect- perhaps a lazy researcher who gave up looking when they went as far back as 2000?

    Preview Rd 11 Geelong V Swannies Sat May 23rd 415 pm @ KP

    Perhaps one of the games of the season, but will still barely rate a mention with the pendles jerk fest on at the same time.

    Universal Love Tyson Stengle Possibly AWOL

    Listening to Morris this morning, it wasn't a case of the AFL saying if he is fully for or not. It was case of returning next week to the club and spending a number of weeks building his fitness. He, in theory, could probably play next week as far as the AFL is concerned, but he is several weeks...

    Geelong players - most iconic moments

    Both? I only have vague recollections, but I recall the primary driver being to go back to the farm, he was clearly good enough to play for a WAFL side.

    Yeah Malarkey retired to the farm, but changed his mind midway through the next season.

    Injury Season 2026 - Geelong Injury Thread

    In general, explaining risk in a medical environment is difficult. People often tend to see medical decisions as binary, when in reality medical outcome prognosis by a doctor is an exercise in probability. Conveying that and getting patients to understand the stats and resultant likelihood is...

    Game Day Rd 10 : Brisbane vs Geelong, Thu 14th May 2026, 7:30pm @ GABBA

    Disagree - there are really only three tough matches we can play in the H&A. 1. Brisbane in Brisbane 2. Sydney in Sydney 3. Gold Coast in the tropics We just dialled it for the third one. I am not going to like it, but if we are to lose to Brisbane, it cant be in the same vein as the GC loss...

    Universal Love Tyson Stengle Possibly AWOL

    What is "best"? A team that has been able to manage the year through injury or luck? Or is best what a team can achieve when its white-hot, no holds barred, if only fleeting? I've always used the analogy of H&A being a marathon where you have to pace yourself and the finals a sprint, where you...

    He chose to bump, not going for the ball. But as the league punishes the outcome and not the action, will depend on how hard he hit waterman and of there is any concussion.

    Universal Love Tyson Stengle Possibly AWOL

    There is a massive around of speculation around Stengle and I dont pretend to know definitively what the issues are, but one thing that has been reported is that Stengle's young daughter is in SA. If this is the main cause of his absence from the club, rather than some drug thing or 'trouble'...
