    AFL Grand Final Sound the Alarm

    Anyone know if the AFL produced this again for the 2022 GF? One of the better behind the scenes productions going around in recent years, and provides great insights into what happened in the coaches box and throughout the game. Usually gets edited into quarter by quarter. Last one we...

    Have you considered?

    (Exibit A) Cats had not changed their game plan at this stage last year. I reckon it was closer to Rd16-17 last year when we noticably changed style and went to kick it long to tall targets style after being accused of chipping around for a month or so. (Exibit B) Corey is not in our best...

    Is West the problem?

    I know he's battled admirably but I've got no doubt the problem lies directly, or perhaps indirectly with West. Not his fault that Ottens retired but as Mooney said on radio today "West is a back up ruck man not a first choice". As for everyone banging on about Orren he also had this ... "he...

    Chapman and Selwood Incidents

    Seems to be a bit of chat around on both Chapmans tackle on Wellingham, and Selwoods apparent trip. I think Chapman is ok from what I can recall. Can't recall the Selwood incident but a number of people suggesting he'll get cited for tripping .... and with carry over points ....... well...

    Geelong wins without #29

    Just wondering if anyone had the stats on Geelongs win/loss record in the last 3-4 years in games without Ablett? Albeit he did'nt miss too many games - but I would've thought it did'nt have as big an impact as what opposition supporters would have you believe. Conversely, using the prelim Vs...

    garyablett.com : A good sign?

    Someone sent me a link to the new gary ablett website - my initial reaction after looking through the site was that he would'nt go to all this trouble and approve a new website if he had clearly made up his mind to leave ............. or would he? The site is branded clearly under the GFC...

    Podsiadly - On The Couch Tonight

    My sources tell me that the Jpod is on the couch tonight with Healy Sheehan and Hird. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong but just passing on something I was told. Should be great watching - put the stopwatch on Sheehan going for the zipper and dropping the strides - he loves the JPod.

    Wojo - It's time to go!

    I've seen nothing in the first 2 weeks of season 2010 to suggest that Wojo is going to be in our best side. Defensive side of his game continues to worry me - I cringe whenever he looks like laying a tackle in the defensive 50 as he has a knack of giving away free kicks. His pace is well...

    Need a Lift ?

    Anyone heard the story about Gaz Jnr losing his license in recent weeks ? Might have involved losing too many points I'm told. Might also have a former girlfriend not too excited about having to drive from Melbourne to Torquay to visit the boyfriend on a regular basis. Not sure if anyone on...

    Gillies

    Any training reports or associated news on the Pie Man ? Have'nt seen much mention of him during pre season ..... played a handful of encouraging games last year and I'd be thinking that he's going to be a player to fill the Harley role now that the former captain has retired. Hunt is also...

    Toast Is Ling the most universally admired Captain we've had?

    Geelong Captain Announced - Congrats Lingy It's been interesting reading all the speculation in the media and BF regarding the captaincy at Geelong. The one name I have'nt heard mentioned is A Mackie. My sources reliably tell me that if they decide to go anyone other than Ling for captain in...

    History Repeating Itself?

    For those interested in historical rhetoric > consider the following. Maybe our odds are better than some are predicting. Seem to recall a statistic I read somewhere that said "in the last 10 years the side who wins the GF had lost it's previous home and away game to the side it beats in the...

    Gillies Must Play

    I have a very firm belief that they must get games into this kid and do it quickly. There's the usual supporters around at the minute preaching doom and gloom (particularly after another loss Sat night) ... but consider the following and you might have a similar view - or not ! 1) The kid...

    Some Perspective Please !

    It's been interesting to sit back and digest the review from many Cats supporters but I think we should all keep things in perspective ... Bomber did'nt exactly look gutted and I suspect that whilst we saw close to the full repetoire from StK the Cats definately held back some cards. Here's my...

    Purrfect Pussies

    For those interested in having a bet you should check out Sportsbet. They have actually framed a market called "purrfect pussies" and you can have a bet on which team will be the first to beat Geelong this year .... alternatively, at $9.00 you can bet on them to go undefeated. Some...

    Memo Harry Taylor

    Dear Harry, I think you're developing into a very important player at Geelong and your ability to hold down a key position in the backline this year might be the difference between us winning our 2nd flag in 3 years. I like the fact that you are a bit 'left of centre' with your cognac drinking...

    Glass Half Full

    We need to soak up the abuse from opposition supporters and the witch hunt that's sure to follow in the media ...... our loss today is in the "New England patriots" category from the NFL Superbowl .......2 losses for the year (unfortunately one is the big dance). For everyone letting their...

    Has Lonergan Retired ?

    Has anyone spoken to people who were in the rooms post match ? There is a story circulating that Lonergan may have announced his retirement.

    Taylor Out ?

    Based on a conversation late today and a few snippets out of the club this week I'm tipping that Harry Taylor will miss out this week. Bomber has been big on a "horses for courses" approach to team selection. Logically it stands to reason that with the Dogs going smaller in their forward line...

    Selwood - Osteitis Pubis

    Well - as suspected I did cop a few whacks for getting bad information on the late changes. I'm told that as late as game day 10am Selwood was still out and that he had pulled up ok after some treatment and was desperate to play. Kelly was a late decision to rest up instead and Stokes (as some...

    Late Changes Expected for Sunday's Game......

    I'm told that Selwood will be out this week .............. general soreness which translates in Geelong speak to "we're clear on top and we need to give the boy a rest before finals". Also - don't be surprised if Blake or Corey come down with a "virus" in the next 24 hours. there's a few...

    Hawkins

    Well - I'm told that with diagnosis in hand the Cats hierarchy have a decision to make. Hawkins stress fracture / hot spot will only heal with an enforced lay-off to take the weight off the foot. So I guess that they either risk him and keep playing him with a reduced workload on the training...

    Chappies Ex

    Anyone been watching that "Farmer wants a Wife" crapola on CH9 ??????? My handicapper tunes in each week and it turns out that Stephanie is an ex of Chapman's. In fact - you might recall that she made the infamous "brownlow email" a few years back after joining the bald man at the brownlow and...

    Cockroach On The Couch

    Just a heads up for all of you that the coach is "On the Couch" at 8.30pm tonight (foxtel) with Healy - Walls - and Mr Sheehan. Should be interesting to see if he's eaten before he goes on - he might get the munchies halfway through the interview and pull out a subway footlong. On a serious...

    Ottens - The Key

    Was massive against Port. A great move to start him in the middle when the heat was on ..... the big body around the contests was significant in the 1st qtr. A few people gave him a mention in other threads but thought I'd highlight him as he's just about the most important part of our...

    Mooney 50/50

    Apparently Bomber mentioned in a "presser" today so I'm safe to post the news without drawing too much attention from the opposition. I'm told from my reliable source that geelong may well go into friday nights game without Mooney unless he's 100% ..... at this stage the medical staff have...

    Flat Cat's

    Posted this on the hawkins thread but thought I'd share it in a new thread ........ p.s - where's the apology Winty for the early news on Mooney being out ? Unknown to many, Geelong has recently come of a very heavy training block which had been planned since pre-season to coincide with a...
