I ain't afraid of no Cats.

That said, if we beat them - and we should - my personal lid will start to loosen.
Have to put them to the sword early and build a decent lead that will silence the crowd. If we can do that, hopefully it would be good enough for them not to come back, keeping in mind that our fitness is also of a very high level.

Two years in a row. And it's not as if they've been that convincing in some of them.
To be fair 3/4's of the teams this year haven't decided to rock up yet.... Only Adelaide, GWS and Richmond have looked dangerous and flag worthy hell Port have looked better than Geelong only difference is they've played us and GWS

This is about whats between their ears not whats under their feet.

They have just been making bad decisions and putting in very little effort.
That's kind of my point. In our early days, the Crows put in some putrid performances away from home against mediocre teams.

All in the head

You were either comparing it to domestic violence or rape and now you're trying to pretend you weren't. A stupid statement however you want to try and spin it.
I'm not pretending anything. I wasn't comparing it to rape or sexual anything. It is a statement used often (of you are a parent you hear many variations of it as children choose not to take responsibility for their actions). I could have just as easily used the bullies retort of "he made me do it". Either way, the statement is relevant within the context of the discussion.

He's made an art of going limp and droppjng his head.
Look, this has been analyzed to death last year. The solution, found by Thommo last year, is to move in vigorously, but not actually tackle! Selwood then collapses in a heap on the ground and looks like an idiot. The ump should give a free against him for a "voluntary tackle". :)

Asking someone to apologize for the use of a term that was broadcast due to media greed is stupid. Players careers are on the line and the last thing they should care about is worrying about broadcast mics.
I keep coming back to this. It's called "common decency".
