    Hawthorn v Geelong - AFL Preliminary Finals - 2013

    It will be an entirely sportsmanlike affair. Of course. Then, after the bounce...

    The Four C's - How Does Your Club Rate?

    Massive free pass for Colin Carter at the Cats... nearly lost us Brian Cook last year. By no means up to the task and will be replaced sooner rather than later.

    Is it too bold to say Hawthorn are mentally fragile?

    Not a choke... more like autoerotic asphyxiation.

    Resource Geelong Football Club history

    I'd actually probably opt for a different platform (thinking Screwturn), but in any event would like to be part of something rather than heading off alone into the wild blue yonder!

    What is your expectation of Tom Hawkins in 2012?

    True enough, but I would see much value in Tom being forced to stand up as the No1 forward (say with Kersten, Brown or whomever as No2) and having to take some responsibility for the "younger blokes". I think the responsibility would really help, even if it were only for a few weeks until Pods...

    Who will be likely players for us ? The rating game.

    As thejester said, he has a lovely pair of hands. He also looks pretty composed in traffic. Finally, he already has some captaincy experience, albeit with the willow not the sherrin, which indicates in nothing else a level head on the lad.

    Who will be likely players for us ? The rating game.

    I'm just a bit surprised at how few here rate Horlin-Smith at all. On what I've seen I'd have him ahead of about half the initial list just for starters (Cowan, Schroeder, Hogan, Stringer, Gillies, Walker at least). Bathie is interesting because he has really shown a bit but he is not young...

    2011 Victory Pack

    Absolutely agree that this is by far the best highlights DVD of the three. There are certainly some odd directing decisions but overall a vast improvement.

    Copy Cats....premiership guaranteed?

    Geelong averaged 3.6 changes per round, 1st in the comp. Were also first in rotations. Source :- On the Couch, post Grand Final show.

    Toast Your favourite 3 moments in this amazing 5-year era?

    So many moments, so mine are all "non-football" (and not necessarily in the last three years either... rules were meant to be broken). 1. "We are Geelong". Tears. 2. Bomber's sandwich against the Wet Toast. Laughter. 3. Stokesy as Half Cat at the 2009 after party. Pride. 4. The 2007 family...

    Rising Star voting is a joke

    The AFL - and the sponsors - need an announcement each and every week, which is fair enough. Why not just nominate those eligible players who - on the performance this week - deserve it? So some weeks one, some weeks two. As with the current system, no explanations necessary. It seems so...

    Your favourite Geelong moment

    Leaving aside GFs (as if one can!) three moments from '89 spring to mind... ... Gary Snr dropping a mark against the Pies at the 'G and then just bulldozing his way to it and kicking a ripper goal almost by sheer force of will. ... The complete confusion which reigned when Blight opted to...

    Discussion Should we drop/rest Luke Ball?

    Luke was at Vic House Medical Imaging for a scan on Thursday morning... my son went through school with him and I saw him there. Gun player and the "omission" will hopefully do him the world of good.

    are StKilda a threat?

    One-Eyed, Good post, but gotta pick you up on the Kosi/King/Gardiner injury thing! King has a long history of being absolutely stuffed after running around at the Dome... and the Saints have him playing the first 5 games there. If he does, that will - in all likelihood - be most of his...

    Which teams can beat Geelong?

    OK, I can understand Cats fans being pretty pumped about the year to come, but what really blows me away about this thread is the number of NON-Cat fans who think likewise... This is a team which has lost its starting CHF and - in all probability - its starting CHB from last year! And which...

    Frawley - unfairly maligned?

    How absolutely true. Bomber Thomson has - still - many detractors who'd say his match day coaching is rather like Frawley's... unimaginative, "no Plan B", what have you. In the era of the draft, they rather miss the point for mine. You can buy "match day" nous off the shelf in assistants...

    Johnson escapes fin or suspension

    On the soft side for mine, but heading in the right direction and probably close enough. There's a big difference between this stupid effort and his grog problems. When he got done in Wang, it was the culmination of a number of grog issues and, importantly, the "Law" wasn't going to do a...

    Cat conundrum 2008

    This is just nonsense.... it would be accurate if we were talking about this problem at the end of 2008, but we're talking about it pre-season, for heaven's sake! On average, each club will have 12+ players coming off contract at the end of any year. The Cats have more in 2008 because, as has...

    is geelong the only side in the afl that dosent have a weakness?

    Daft thread... any side is only a knee injury or two away from ordinary. Egan will struggle to come up all year you'd reckon, if only for lack of a pre-season. One more big bloke injured (assuming Nathan does retire) and the Cats are looking very very beatable.

    Gazza

    Gary Snr was part of a (series of) horrible decisions(s) that resulted in a girl dying. Nothing is ever going to take that stain away. He knows it... the recent interview confirms that. You can't turn back time. Clearly, he'd love to do just that... and so would Alicia's family. I'm not sure...

    Great work Carmi... As a guide, the Premiers' average is 23.33

    Would you take 1, but only one premiership in the next 5 years.

    What's with the "except Geelong fans" nonsense?? We're not all on some fantasyland "dynasty" trip!! Give me one guaranteed and I'll have it like a shot. Bird in the hand.. (Of course, I'd be expecting to win the sixth one as well :) )

    Fletcher toxicology report likely to be requested.

    Every club, without doubt, has its share of players who have used or are using drugs. Plus a few idiots who get out on the turps too often. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in la la land. But that's not the point in this case. The Eagles knew they had a problem, and chose to do...

    What the **** King Gardiner to Saints for Pick 90

    Gotta be a salry cap issue. King is out of contract, has some currency but no one will go for him until the PSD. Gardiner is in contract for another year, and the Cats need to move those payments on to someone else. So they offer the Saints something they want (king) so long as they...

    The Kangaroos will get pumped by Hawthorn

    I'm a Cats man from way back, and watched us get pumped by the Dons in '89, in just the same fashion your blokes got done over yesterday. We managed to dust ourselves off, flog the Dons in a prelim 2 weeks later and make the GF. Shame about the result! Your blokes have shown themselves more...

    the great quotes of football

    A couple on Ablett Snr, 1989.. "That's a party trick, not a mark." Cometti "...What more can I say?" Sandy Roberts, after a goal against Collingwood.
