That’s Effing ugly for both sides.
But... 22 against 22. It’s all even I suppose.
Let’s just hope for no more during the game.
When was the last time you lost two in a row at home? Must be a while ago now.
My assessment: mystifying. Also crap (sort of like our whole night). He's not a hugely long kick, though I have seen him flush them from outside 50 in the run, but he's usually not that short either. Very much a WTF moment.
Obviously a bit late to the thread (took me some time to recover:))
But I just wanted to drop by and give props to Tom Lonergan for the concern he showed Toby Greene after the collision - all class:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:.
Will be missed by you guys next year.
I come in peace and don't want to throw petrol on any fire or anything, so please take what I say in the spirit that it's intended.
Cogs did his ankle pre-season, I'd never heard the word syndermosis (sp.?) before. And it took him to round 7 to get back, did it again in round 8 and required...
Pardon the interruption, but there's not a thread for my question and I don't want to start one and this is the closest I could find, but I'm hoping someone can help me out with a bit of information about your VFL set-up.
Basically, how does it work?
I have a vague idea you've got VFL listed...
Not a trade question, because you've already delisted him - but what's the story with Jock Cornell? Why didn't he work out. Liked him when he was playing for us and just trying to get the low-down on his year at the Cats.
Yeah, well. In four years we are yet to get any kind of home game against Freo - all games (including week after next) have been/will be at Subiaco - throw in an extra couple against the Weagles and we've been to Perth more often than you guys have come to us (or you guys have gone to Perth over...
Not suicidal - realistic. We're missing a heap from our best 22 including a lot of defenders, Cognilio and Whitfield. We'll do OK but I can't see an upset happening.
Oh, and most of our preview threads for most games are quiet - we're a small board.
For someone with a resume like his, chocked full of accolades, he always seemed a bit under rated. Always flew under the radar. Unbelievably important in the Cats dominance. An absolute champion of the club. Will be missed as a player. Hopefully something can be arranged to keep him around in an...
Ecstasy - the 2007 grand final - all of it - the beautiful length of the field sweeping passages of play - the final result - the dignity of the players in victory - the years of suffering at an end.
Agony - the 1997 debacle in Adelaide where we woz robbed blind. I still can't think of that...
It's funny how some numbers stand out as obvious ones and then others have the big debate. Of course in the great #5 debate between Farmer & Ablett, everybody is overlooking Gary Malarkey :)
For me the toughest to split is Chappy & Goggin or maybe Greeves &Stevie J but that's more an era bias...
Today it seemed that about 80% of the 50/50s went to Port and it's not always a case of the free kicks that are being paid (although how many goals did they kick from really soft frees?) it's the free kicks that a aren't paid. Stevie J being tackled rugby league style without the ball on the...
In 150 odd years and 1036 VFL/AFL players only 32 have played 200 games for Geelong. There were 7 of them on the paddock against Carlton tonight, and with another three retiring last year, that just screams 'unprecedented stability'.
Well done Wojo/Bomber/Monica.
Re: Menzel injures knee again
So SEN says it's the opposite knee and Wheatley saying it's the same. Whichever way it goes it is devastatingly bad and my thoughts are with him.
If the hair was not quite as dodgy as Cogs then it was probably his housemate Dom Tyson (29) who seems to use almost as much product. :D (and their team mates let them both know it)
As I said on the GWS board, this is the game I can't lose. My Geelong jumper, my Giants hat and my membership...
2008 Grand final v the Dorks, the 1992 Grand final vs the Wet Toast and 05 final v Sydney are all bad but the answer would have to be 1997 vs Adelaide - we still don't talk about that one. My blood boils very time. just thinking about it now, the anger is rising. We Was ROBBED!! and robbed so...
just back on Maxwell - I thought John Harmes got it 100% right when he wrote in the footy almanac blog after the game "Maxwell, who is so not a Geelong player and Harry O'Brien who could be". The absolutely perfect sledge - he is soooo NOT a Geelong player - what more needs to be said - what...
I said over on the GWS board that he deserves 300 games but that they should be 300 Geelong games, not just 'games'. That said - I wouldn't say no and of the older player/coaching recruits he would stand out with Luke Power as the best of them.
- and of course we have SOS on our coaching...
that was an awsome video. David King is an idiot - at least when others wrote geelong off they had the good sense to apologise later in the year. he probably still thinks they can't win it.
Re: 2011 National Draft thread
great preview except for the "wretched hive of scum and villainy" bit - completely unwarented, offensive and wrong. why spoil spoil such a good post with such a sh*t thing? petty and dumb. wake up to yourself.
excellent work - I like the Rizzo version a little better because it has the names in it and is more team specific, though I doubt it would have existed without Catman's fine effort/template.
so kudos to both.
Carn the Cats!
