    Doug Wade

    Nice piece on the club website about Doug Wade. I remember running on to the ground at half time on a cold wet day to get an autograph. Pen wouldn't work. He said "your pen's as F###ed as we are" ... http://www.geelongcats.com.au/video/2017-06-30/tuckers-funerals-doug-wade-interview

    New Sig & Av- Suggestions

    OK, so I lost a bet :mad: Not quite as painful as when I copped a sig & av change after the '08 GF but I am a bit lost as to what to put up? In the past I've gone with "11" over the Hawks, that's gone. Went with Captain Beefheart, probably a bit lost on the average BF user .. so I need...

    Sport What do we do with Witsend if his son plays for Hawthorn?

    From a post made by Witsend: "I have a child who is an elite footballer...go to a huddle at TAC level and up and the coaches are calm, professional and respectful. The days of rah rah rah and screaming are long gone. Good old fashioned sprays are very, very rare!" that's all fine and good...

    Halloween

    Bloke walks into a fancy dress shop to get a Dracula costume for Halloween. The woman handed him a Collingwood jumper. "Sorry", he says. "You must've misunderstood me. I said I want to look like a count."

    Scott outcoaches Clarkson

    in the last ten years only twice has the team on the top of the ladder won the flag, and the pies took two goes to win theirs. Top of the ladder is a poisened chalice, there is no doubt about it. Given that the cats will knock off the hawks (again) in a couple of weeks, Scott got his players...

    Letter from Disgruntled Carlton Supporter

    not my work sadly, but worth sharing: Dear Carlton Football Club, For the past 100 years we've had a rich history of salary cap breaching, rape hush money, underworld ties, tanking, poaching players, draft tampering, owning Arden Street, VISY, corporate corruption, & brown paper bags. We...

    where is "opposition fans post your support here" thread

    on the Hawks board? There was one on the Cats board last year, and one going well on the Swans board now. But where is the Hawks thread? I wanted to post a message there ....:D

    Ruckmen - 'It's not just size, it's how you use it'

    That was thing about Otten's, especially when it came to finals. He wasn't just big but put in those second, third & fourth efforts. And then could "rest" in the goal square. Or would be the one who had dropped back to the opposition goal square. West is no Ottens. But he does create a...

    RIP David McLaren

    After a long and enormous battle with cancer David passed away this morning. David was a former board memberof the Bulldogs, and a passionate and comitted supporter. When I spoke to him last week he said to me "mate, I don't think I'll be seeing my doggies win their next flag." Through David I...

    The Other Father Son List

    there is an infrequent poster on this board - Iameviljez - who is my son. He was living in a remote part of china quite a few years ago and yet was always ahead of me with news about the catters. Had me totally frustrated but it wasn't until much later that he told me about Big Footy. If he...

    Who is to come back?

    Most posters will know more than me, so would appreciate an update. But I think it looks like these are the missing players: Wojac, Varcoe, Scarlett, Josh Hunt, Menzel, Stephenson, Vardy and Simpson. (Fess up, I copied that list from the main board ..:o) Scarlett & Varco definate walk ins. I...

    Tom Hawkins & Xavier Ellis were co-captains of the Melbourne Grammar footy team during 2006. Hawkins the game breaker in the 2011 GF, 2 time AFL premiership player for the cats. (and once in the VFL) Where's Ellis now, Box Hill ?

    My Favourite Nickname

    There's an article in today's Age mentioning that Brian Peake might be nominated for Hall of Fame. I can remember him coming over from the West, the cat's had chased him for years. But his career was getting towards the end when he did come over, and we never saw the best of him. Lou Richards...

    Bartel to sign for four years

    News in todays Hun, sorry - couldn't find a link. Basically it says a deal has almost been signed for Jimmy to stay on at the cattery for the next four years. Even better, it says that the cats are the only team he's had discussions with. Selwood might need to make room in that "Loyalty" test...

    Mackie on the improve?

    there's been a fair bit of discussion around Mackie during the off season. I thought his approach to the game was much better on Friday night. Hopefully he can rekindle the flair he showed in the last 10 minutes of the 09 GF. I thought he did a few good things, but his attitude is what looked...

    By god we need to win the first final

    to get a break. I can't remember having so many injured or suspect players. We are still in there with a great shot at the flag, but we need to have our best list fit and on the ground. A weeks break will mean a lot, probably more to our team than any other team. If we lose the first one we will...

    Will we get the best team on the park?

    I am genuinely worried whether we can pull the injured together come finals time. Watching the VFL on Saturday, poor Otto struggled. But he is so important when he is up, and about. Wouldn't you rather see Otto/Mumford? Youth is a good policy, but King rather than Blake sounds better with...

    Roast Pre Season Costing Us Now?

    The shock that I had about friday nights lost to Carlton was how our midfield was well and truly second fiddle to carlton's midfield. Fair enough we have a lot of players out, but that was one thing I didn't expect. Is it possilble that the effect of an extra long season following success in...

Clearly saints know they can beat the cats in the big one; *tight game all day and a draw follows. Clearly saints...

    was Melbourne the worst finals performer

    in the modern game? Had to use the past tense, could be after my lifetime that they enjoy finals action again. Chesire Cat slipped the stats in on another thread: Melbourne made the finals in 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 94, 98, 2000, 02, 04, 05 and 06 without a single flag. It's not just the lack of a...

    Is Melbourne embarrassed?

    It was mentioned early during last nights game that Richo has kicked more goals on the MCG than any other player. Surely the demons have played more games there than any other team (excluding finals!!) at the G. Just proof that their lack of an effective full forward isn't a new concept.

    Hawk in Hiding

    Some advice for a mate

    I was visiting a mate on the weekend. A life long diehard Saints fan. He's got a 5 year old son and a 6 year old son. One barracks for Melbourne, the other the Bulldogs. How can this be? How can you let your kids support a team other than your own? And really, Melbourne! My son (iameviljez) was...
