I have been on the Chris Scott bandwagon for years, and yet it is obvious he is quite vilified, on this board and the Geelong one even. Regardless of what happens next week, surely this latest Geelong team proves he is a great coach? It is obvious that anyone who watches the current Geelong team...

I have no idea the situation regarding North and how Rhys Shaw is viewed there, but surely after how well they have gone since he took over, at the very least he must be in the conversation? Or, another club must be looking at him strongly. It's not his list, he didn't develop those players, he...

I am not sure how weird it is posting about an opposition player but I loved seeing Vardy get a medal today. As someone who looks back on most ex-cats fondly, it’s great seeing someone who is a genuinely good guy playing well in a grand final, doubly so that opposition was Collingwood.

I haven’t seen a thread about the fact that Tomahawk has now overtaken Steve Johnson to be Geelongs third highest goal scorer. Personally I feel he is an extremely underrated player who has carrried our forward line for over half a decade while being unfairly disciplined by the afl. Kudos Tom...

I have seen a lot of people post negative comments regarding the season in general and how no one isn't really dominant but isn't that a good thing? Every week that seems to be at least one shock loss and no one is putting the cue in the rack. The majority of games are close and blow outs are...

Being in Western Australia, I watch quite a few Eagles game. And one thing that always struck me as strange was how much Priddis gets blasted by Eagles supporters, and I don't quite get it. His workmanship is amazing; work around packs is good, tackling is good, clearance work is good. His...

Before the finals start, I just wanted to start a thread on how unbelievable this Geelong team is by defying the norm and finishing 2nd on the ladder. For years now, the teams demise has been predicted by everyone, and thus far those everyone have been wrong. I admit, when we lost Bomber and...

Are people being too quick to dismiss the NAP CUP as at least an early form indication of the home and away season? I am much like everyone else; its good to have a watch for the youngsters, but generally it doesn't actually mean anything. However upon looking back, the two grand finalists in...

There has been a heap of talk of Adelaides easy run home, etc etc. Regardless of views regarding that, there is no doubt that Adelaide has been a massive improvement this year, and that positive fact should be focused on, rather than any negatives. People talk about how awesome the Dockers and...

With the absence of Scarlett we were always going to be a bit under manned back there, but personally I think our defense was outstanding. Lonergan did an amazing job on Franklin and Taylor was his usual dependable marking everything self. Mackie was decent, especially in the last quarter with...

its become apparent that since the break the Cats haven't been playing greta football. however, thankfully theres still a few weeks to go till the Finals so that can be corrected. However, in an effort to curb the various flame threads and so forth that will no doubt spring up as a result of...

One thing that seems to be mentioned constantly on the main board is how we cant handle pressure, how the players just dont play well when heaps of pressure is applied. Maybe someone could explain to me what the heck that means exactly. Do the boys handle pressure worst then any other team in...

When people refer to the greats, no doubt Brisbane is up there, Essendon, hawthon of the 80's, etc etc. But I cant help but feel that WCE is overlooked as well. In the 90's they made 10 finals series in a row, made it to three grand finals, won two of them. Had players like Jakovich, Matera...

As I posted elsewhere, Scarlett, Ling, Selwood and Ablett are the only players who can came away from that thinking they had a good game. Everyone else was either horrible or had no impact on the game (i.e johnson getting 30ish possessions but doing sweet bugger all.) The boys picked a horrible...

I've never been a great fan of Prissie, especially the way people rant on about him here. But he has won me over a bit in the last month. There just seems to be so much talent and potential there. The Cats need to do their best to keep him I feel; with a bit more development he woiuld be a very...

Harry should stay in our side regardless of who the Cats are playing. For him to be able to perform on big nights like tonight when there was such intensity and tightness and pressure speaks volumes of his character. He needs to stay in!

Thought the little bloke played a decent game today. Hard to see him getting a permanent position in our side, but am alot more confident that in the future should any injuries crop up (like today) he'll be able to step up and lend us a hand. Good game!

One stat people may be interested in; according to the AFL site, James Kelly is leading the clubs goal assists with 10 (and equal first overall in the comp.) Johnson and Mooney are next with 7 a piece. Not too bad, not too bad at all.

Its probably a bit early to be discussing this, but eh I miss footy already. Who will play on Matty Richo? granted if he was playing a forward role it would be the usual, but he has bene working himself up the ground lately on the wing, getting alot of touches, running around heaps like a...

Worried About Form I know we're undefeated thus far, and its too early to speak of doom and gloom, but is anyone else worried about our form? Except for maybe the Essendon game, the Cats only show up for a quarter or two. Port and Sydney managed to catch up after we had gained a good lead in...

I know its only round 3 so theres nothing to be too worried about, but our forward line doesn't seem to be gelling so well together at the moment. Mooney and Johnson especially aren't getting as much of the ball as they used to, and usually end up kicking a point regardless. Hawkins is young so...

I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but I didn't realise till I watched TFS that this week is Hunts 100th game. He may have gotten alot of criticism throughout the years - and rightfully so in some cases - but in the Finals he stood up when it counted.

Anyone recall what the new footy classified time slot was this week? Soryr if there has already been a thread on it.

I will be the first to admit I was wrong about the magpies. You guys pushed us like no other team has this year, and just when it looked like we would run away with the game you managed to stand tall and bring the margain back. I think more was learnt about both our teams tonight then anything a...

Being in Perth, I miss out on alot of Geelong action. How do Gary And Nathan get along? Are they great friends and hang out socially like some brothers do, or is just a typical friendly family relationship with a different group of friends? is there any sibling rivalry? etc etc?

I am curious as to why everyone seems intent on thinking the Maggies will lose to the Swans, when just 2 weeks ago Collingwood easily accounted for them. Is it because of the results of this weekend? Finals experience? Am just curious.

In recent weeks they both seemed to have been playing up the ground a bit more; Johnson in particular. Noticed he had a few possessions around the backline throughout the game and a bit of a presence throughout the midfield. You guys think its of a conscience decision by the coaching staff for...

Was curious as to everyones thoughts concerning the game yesterday? I was there and seeing Geelong in action personally as opposed to just a television or radio made even more impressed. They do alot of small things that the tv just doesn't pick up, and their pace and carry through the midfield...

A damn legend. We all knew he was a good player but this year has completely changed his aggression around and now focuses on the ball. Last night he could have kicked at least 7 if he was accurate as normal. My girlfriend is only recently getting into football and she has watched the last...

Am I the only one who thinks Tommy played a very underrated game against Sydney? He had a quiet first half but when it mattered and the game was in the balance he took alot of great telling marks against momentum. I hope he isn't injured because he seems to be getting into some good form and a...
