Tuohy for Stewart seems like a “no-brainer” for mine. Likewise a rested Stanley for Conway who would definitely be fatigued after the hard slog in Brisbane. I tend to agree that Clark needs a full game in the magoos. He’s getting great AFL exposure but not setting the world on fire yet. So...

Buckley still burning from the 2007 PF where he had to watch us p#*s on his lifelong Collingwood Premiership dream from the bench, when the game was on the line! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly, I’ve been a Zuthrie fan from day 1! Has a touch of the Ken Hinkley’s about him. Calm, elite footy IQ, courageous, very, very skilled, and his body finally looks like it’s up to the rigours of AFL footy and some! Barring major injuries, will waltz his way to 200 games and an eventual AA...

As I said in an earlier post re Cameron, not a game for KPFs. He did influence with a couple of strong 1 on 1 contested marks in Q3 from memory. Nothing to see here. When the ball has moved well into F50 he has been mint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did what was required when he had to. Just not the kind of game for his talents, but I was pleased to see him pushing back in defence instead of just chasing goals or kind i50. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stewart out is significant, of course, but Zuthrie is looking very capable of filling that leadership and zone-off role. Great to see a kid who looked like an Auskick rag-doll to looking tough and courageous as nails! This was an outstanding win. 6-0 almost guarantees a top 4 spot unless we...

Clark is the one who will need to make way for Guthrie atm. And that’s ok. Clark has a long career ahead of him but he is simply not as impactful as Parfitt right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a bit torn on the Cameron appeal. I’m pretty sure it didn’t warrant a suspension. He definitely brought Lever to ground forcefully but didn’t follow through and try to push him headfirst “into” the ground if that makes sense? BUT…the idea that good behaviour or prior clean record is a...

Very even performance today, which is pleasing. I’d rather have a large group of mids getting low 20s than 2-3 getting 30+ Current performances are gonna make selection a nightmare over the next month, if the injury gods are kind to us. Still gotta fit: Danger Guthrie Kolo Hawkins Rohan We...

Parfitt’s one-percenters and tackle pressure was elite today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I confess I've been a Zuthrie fan from Day 1. Even when he looked like an Auskick kid! He has always had poise and class, and a seemingly cerebral approach to his footy, as well as occasional and timely flashes of flair. His decision making and execution is elite, in my opinion, and he now has...

This week v North Neale for Hawkins (managed. Back for Brisbane) Mannagh for Tuohy (managed. Back for Brisbane) Conway for Stanley (managed back for Brisbane) Pending injuries, all 3 plus Danger back for Brisbane Manage Conway, Managh, Neale and Clark. The joys of 4-0! Sent from my iPhone...

I would call that a very satisfying, professional win! Down our two best mids and with Treloar, Bont and Libba playing at their highest level, it still felt like the game was played on our terms. I think it’s patently obvious that we ran out of puff near the end. So a win is a win is a win! Our...

I think we throw the kitchen sink at this match to try and get the win. With North the week after as a “likely” win, that would give us a 5-0 start and set our season up very, very well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In an elite sport where incremental differences and issues matter, why would you name the team prior to when you are required to by the AFL? There are a large number of players needing fitness tests to be eligible for selection. And the less time your opponent has to prepare, the better...

Surely you adapt your game-plan and mf setups to the personnel you have. We have rucks who are CAPABLE of running athletically all day. So that’s how we structure up. If we end up with Conway as No 1 (most likely) the game plan will accomodate the fact that we may actually win a bunch of hit...

Re Dempsey having a “flat follow up”. I think that’s the beauty of having O. Henry and Dempsey in the same forward six. Both good aerially and instinctive dangerous 3rd talk forwards. Name your poison. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought Saturday’s win was very impressive. It was finals type pressure in a Round 1 match. And honestly, as underdogs at our home ground, the Saints had far less to lose than us. It was an arm wrestle all night and we came out on top. It’s almost fair to say that we were more than 50/50 all...

I was at the game and didn’t notice Atkins particularly, but on replay he was outstanding! Highly influential!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did I miss something? Is Bowes injured? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So on the AFL website, the predictions are in. Only Damien Barrett has us in the 8 (2nd). What a wonderful opportunity to make fools of a bunch of journos hanging around KP with baseball bats at the ready to put us out of our misery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would think Neale was clunking marks well enough to get another look at AFL level backmen. But I would think he’s first out when O Henry comes back in, which he will. And Rohan is in the mix when he’s good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fair enough!!! This is what I think it will be. Not what I would choose. FB: Bews. De Koning Z. Guthrie HB: J. Henry O’Sullivan Stewart C: Holmes Atkins Knevitt HF: Miers Cameron O. Henry FF: Stengle Hawkins Mannagh FOL: Conway Danger Bruhn I/C: Stanley , Close, Parfitt, Rohan Sub: Clark...

I usually like to start from a base of who’s a lock to be Best 22 and start from there. The last few seasons, there are usually 18-19 “locks”. This year I count 16: Atkins Blicavs Cameron Close Dangerfield De Koning Duncan C Guthrie Z Guthrie Hawkins J Henry O Henry Holmes Miers Stengle...

That feels optimistic to me. This year when the heat was on, our mf struggled big time. It was only a stellar defence at times and an efficient forward line that kept us in games. Last year we brought in Stengle and SDK, both of whom had seasons beyond our wildest dreams. Can’t see where that’s...

In the absence of drafting a ready made gun midfielder a la Smith or Parish, it’s hard to see our engine room being able to compete consistently with the elite mf groups in 2024. I would say we consolidate and develop Clarke, Bruhn, Holmes, maybe Bowes, alongside Danger and C Guthrie. Atkins to...

Insurance. Good clubman. No doubt he’ll help mentor Mullin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect result. Obviously a win would have been preferable for all true Cats fans, players and coaches, but with our outs and against a team playing for a finals spot, it was always a step too far. Got a good glimpse at the future and the loss puts in a position to get a Pick 7 or 8 in the...
