News Ford to cease manufacturing in Australia from 2016
Just heard it on 3AW: http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/neil-mitchell-blog/a-major-car-manufacturer-is-pulling-out-of-australia/20130523-2k20x.html Not good for the city of Geelong, but I wonder if this will impact our long standing Ford sponsorship deal? -
Opinion Would you like deliberate Geelong-biased commentary on Fox Footy?
Herald Sun ran an article regarding the introduction of "ED TV" for this weekends Pies v Tigers game giving them an option of a Collingwood Only commentary panel. Whilst we would find the idea of listening to such a nauseating commentary team, it made me wonder what it would be like if we had... -

Toast Geelong's hard ball turnaround
I was just mulling over the team stats from saturdays game and just to see the difference on how well we have turned our contested footy around compared to the start of the year. We were copping flack left right and centre for not winning the contested footy, but the last few weeks(barring last... -

Contested Possession Count - Perhaps its deliberate?
Ok, well we all know that we still havent won the contested possession count as yet all year, but watching a bit more closely last night I noticed something a little different to the way we are playing now compared to last year. It was obvious at numerous points that in a contest our boys... -

What Cats Moment Gives You Chills?
I just flicked across to the Hun website to see the short video of Jimmy running through "that moment" from the 09 Grand Final and it gave me chills just watching the stills from it. So it lead me to thinking, what Cats moment gives you chills? -
No Cats games on FTA until Round 24
Ok, so just had a quick squiz at the next few weeks of broadcasts and we dont have a single game on free to air until the Pies game in round 24. What the hell is the go with that?! Talk about supporters that dont have pay getting the raw end of the deal. Thank god I am getting Foxtel next... -
Is Mike Sheahan on holidays?!
I, along with a host of others, have been waiting for Sheehans article writing us off after our first loss. Yet he hasnt written a single word!! Either the bloke is crook or on holidays because I would have thought he would have been salivating at the chance to sink the boots in to the Cats... -
Why are Collingwood supporters such bad losers?
I cant get over the amount of ridiculous threads being started on the Pies board after our win friday night. Complaining about umpires, saying they arent at full strength, and now the gem accusing us of cheating among other things(which has turned into a Selwood bashing thread). So what is...
