Fact of the day: The previous 7 sides that have been more than a game clear on top of the ladder......

Richmond 2018
Adelaide 2017
Hawthorn 2016
North Melbourne 2016
Fremantle 2015
Port Adelaide 2014
Collingwood 2011

Didn't win the flag

Have the cats peaked too early or will they continue on and win the flag?

I expect the Cats to do what they always do since 2011. Peter out in the finals

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

I definitely feel Hawthorn is a better football club than Geelong.

Learnt from '08.

Keep going hard and racking up the wins until round 15 or 16 and then start to rest / manage veterans and rookies. Can probably afford to drop 3 to 4 games while managing players and still finish top 2.

If they had Jon Dorotich or Ang Christou in their side then I'd tend to agree with you. I don't really understand why that would make any difference though.

Goes without saying.

You don't need a Peter in your team to win finals

If you think we are peaking you haven't watched us play for a month

Ah well, beats a thread started by a Richmond supporter....

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

I think you could argue that half of those examples were clearly not dominant sides, evidenced by relatively poor percentages, and most of the others didn't open up a 6-8 point break until the eve of the finals. Doesn't really fit in to what Geelong has been able to do so far and how up and down the rest of the competition has been.

 

[JackFlash]

Peaking? I don't think they've really started yet. It's a long year and Geelong are just traveling at the minute, doing enough to win by 3 or 4 goals each week. They might have a slump along the way, but i now expect them to finish 18 - 4 or 17- 5 by the end of the year! Top 2 should be assured and that is a prettty good springboard especially if they get the Eagles, Brisbane or Adelaide first up in a final in Melbourne!

Ask us after R23

 

[The Gong]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Geelong might win the flag this year or they might not.

The One Game Clear Curse.

I always wondered if anybody else would pick up on this.

Now the cat is out of the bag, and the Cats are no chance for the flag.

I haven't been sleeping properly lately.

What's with all the salt? it's an interesting stat.

I approve of this thread.

Gives hope to a few clubs

Now this is a stat that i can appreciate

Put a fork in them … the cats are done

It's a very petty thing for Geelong supporters to crack the sads at

Indeed. A lot of juvenile posters on this forum.

This is like a NBA on ESPN stat.

Only three people with a sister scored a triple double after they had a bacon and egg breakfast while staying at a Hilton hotel.
