    FIRST PLAYER PICKED

    We all have our favourite players, and those we think are our best players, but which player from your team would you nominate as FIRST PICKED, every week? For me, it's MARK BLICAVS. Can and does play virtually every position, and just goes forever.

    MICKY TURNER-PANCREATIC CANCER

    Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere, but Micky was an absolute club legend, and for a long time, my favourite all-time Cat until the Abletts. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/article-12867157/Michael-Turner-cancer-pancreatic-diagnosis-Geelong-Cats-footy-AFL.html Loved him as a player...

    Electric Cars and Solar Power

    Could not find a thread, and just checking whether this fits into lifestyle. I think it does. Wondering if anyone here is into electric cars. The Tesla 3 has just been released here in Melbourne, and it was purported to be the cheap, affordable version, hence huge nation-wide interest. Turns out...

    Strategy CLING WRAP - A discussion on Taggers

    Lots of discussion past 24 hours about taggers. Since the immortal CLING, we have used Scooter, Blicavs, Guthrie, and recently, nobody. Do we want a tagger, or are we going to rely on our players simply getting more on the scoreboard than our opponents, unlike yesterday. Each team has at least...

    Cam Guthrie

    Personally I rate Cam a lot and regard him as a good hybrid type player at his best, but his name creates extreme division of opinion on our board. How is he perceived by non Geelong supporters?

    Analysis The Big Fish We Didn't Catch

    Being trade period now, was thinking about which players over this long journey that have been linked to Geelong but ended up going elsewhere, and which one(s) was/were the most disappointing to miss out on.We have plenty of discussion on those we did lure but possibly should not have. 1. Puns...

    MOST UNDERRATED

    In our flag years we have had at least a few really good nominations for this. Milburn Boris Kelly Currently, I think Kolo. Very much the quiet achiever who seems to do his job well week after week. He is very consistent and resilient. Looking forward to his ongoing development. Our defensive 6...

    Roger Federer- any CATS come close?

    Inspired by Sunday and by a thread on the Hawks Board: RF has just won his 20th SLAM as we are all aware, and is widely regarded as the GOAT sportsman alive. Even the great Rod Laver is in awe of him. A coach of a team of a different code recently implored his charges to find a bit of Federer in...

    RHYS STANLEY- KF, KB, Ruck or ???

    I have always thought RS should not be rs, and has the guns to be a weapon for us. Most have lost patience with him. Wonder if he can reinvent himself in 18 as a KB replacing Domsy. He is tall, quick, skilled, and a decent mark. I can visualise that happening.

    Patrick Dangerfield or Dustin Martin - 2017

    Rolled over from this bumped thread: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/patrick-dangerfield-or-dustin-martin.1114769/ How do we all feel about the 2 best players in the comp now? Martin has clearly improved ever season, and is younger than Danger. Martin had the most amazing season in...

    Patrick Dangerfield or Dustin Martin

    Apologies if already discussed. Serious question. If both were free to come to my team, and could only choose one, I'd go for Dusty. I like his possessions a little more than Danger's. Not much in it, thoughts?

    Analysis Came good after written off

    Which players recently, or in the past, have done just that? I'm HOPING Billy Smedts. Most feel he is spakfilla. Would be great, if not wishful thinking if he could actually become a weapon, not the Bombers version, in 2015. Who comes to mind? Stokes? Mackie? Anyone?

    News Past Players Thread

    I may need a little help from my friends here, not a music thread either, but saw it on another board, and maybe we could pay tribute to many of our classic past players. Old cards, stats, snippets of play, hts, wts, games etc. Fred would have some beauties, and I can go back as far as Peter...

    Destination Geelong

    Simple question. Is Geelong FC an attractive proposition for a prospective recruit or trade swap? I really wonder. If it's about $, NO. If it's about Flags, not for a fair while. If it's about a team with great infrastructure , culture, and player support, likely Yes. Talking to many people...

    News Social Club Membership

    Maybe I'm out of line, but a certain poster here on BF will possibly be directly affected by what I'm on about here, which is, has anyone read that SC memberships are strictly not transferable, and membership privileges will be removed from the member who offers his card to someone? I am...

    'Save the Cats' meeting in 1999

    The off-season meeting post 99? to Save The Cats, in the stand at KP on a cold blustery November Sunday. There must be a photo of that collection of die-hard supporters ( I forced my young family with me that day) and officials and players. Had a massive impact on my support anyway, because we...

    Your Most Awesome Foursome

    At Geelong, most would think Selwood, Hawkins, Harry Taylor, and Dawson Simpson are crucial to our success, and when fit and firing, would take a lot of beating. Any offers as to a better quartet?

    Sport All Time Sporting Heroes

    It's off-season, we have a great "Remember When" thread, got me thinking, who is your all time sporting hero? Doesn't have to be a footballer. And Why? For me,#1 is Steve Waugh. I loved the way he resurrected his career after getting dropped for his brother. I loved the way he consistently...

    From a Cat Fan, Congratulations

    Difficult to argue with Hawthorn's successful year, and since my time, easily the most dominant team ever. I am 57. Great perseverance this year, and a well deserved GF win. Again, did it without the flare of usual stars. Freo was the most deserving team to play you in the GF, and I suspect...
