[Matthew Jelley]

Good luck Steven, hope he has a solid game.
Hoping to see Stanley back up last weeks great game, better games from Sav and Hawkins and a good game from Narkle

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Go cats!
I'm also keen for updates on the practise game, are there any options for news on that?

Nakia Cockatoo was also prominent for the Cats in his long battle back from knee and hamstring injuries and O’Bree said one moment in particular got him excited.

“He got three quarters of football, probably the last minute of his three quarters is the Cocky we want to see where he just broke the game open, took a few bounces and kicked it deep inside our forward 50.”

“He’s done a fair bit of work and he got through unscathed and hopefully he pulls up okay.”

Non-playing Cats have Blues hit out

Nakia Cockatoo, Darcy Fort and Jake Kolodjashnij were among those to play

Cookie on KROCK

Its been unprecedented times. He learned there are no answers and had to be collaborative.
Retain revenue.
Be healthy
And stay connected.

Stood down 100 staff and all playeres

70 staff still off the book and about 70 are back but all are part time currently.

Not sure of what the future will bring. Dont know what the new rules are. Soft cap, TPP, non football ceiling to be introduced.

Its up to the AFL to tell us.

Best guesses are good - thats all he has. Will take 3-4 years pverall to get back to 2019 levels.

Next year will be really tough. Not sure of corporate or member retention for next year. Just cant tell what we wil get - so its gonna be tough.

He praised member and corporates. Nearly 70% of member retention. Said that's amazing.

Was a 10 million debt down to 5 million debt - and that is mostly due to member and crop retention so far. Its been amaxing.

He's aiming to be cash neutral at seasons end. That is the best case scenraio.

Player staff and focus is hard - but all our coaches are part time. The upside is everyone is still invovled. Keeping them engaged has been good for the moral and attitude.

Engagment is a big thing They've been working hard to keep everyone int he club invovled.

Contracts - not allowed to talk to anyone by the AFL. No contract talks for the last 2 months. Hoping it gets going really soon Need soft cap and TPP first.
And same for the VFL team - determines the staffing numbers and everyhting follows that.

On Stev, very happy to have him here and out there for us.

When Cookie heard the outbreak today - he focused on club and its ramifications - and hopes it isolated and does not spread. But its just another hurdle and hope it all calms down - based on the science of it.

GFC have been following the health experts regarding players. Totally guided by that. CLub is just a flow thru of those rules.

Stage 5 - probably later but will be after T20 world cup. Commence perhaps at end of next year.

Cookie contracted thrn end of 2021 currently - his future is marked at the end of 2021 still - no plans to go on further yet but wants the cub to be in a good spot before he moves on.

WAs asked about the CA CEO job - but he's hell bent on making sure GFC is good before he leaves.

Carter is out at end of 2021. Thats been a plan. Replacement not yet known.

No idea yet for rounds 6 and 7 - seems SA and WA are the issues at this moment. If GFC is asked to do a hub - they will go.

99 was 7 million in debt - 21 million on todays money...so being 6 million down at seasons end is not as bad as that was. If we can 3-4 million short at end of 2020 thats a good spot considering the peril of the situation.

Go Catters

 

[Chinacats]

Blues last game for a couple of weeks? Essendon next week will be postponed probably as they won’t be able to train. Might make them more desperate??? Go cats!

 

[foxdog50]

If it was a scratch match.

Scott has consistently described it as match sim.

So do you know how the match slim went ( same thing)

 

[dazbroncos]

Match sim pre game

No JJ, Okanbor, Tarca and Parfitt didnt play.

Clark, Zuth, Fort, Kolo, Hendo, Zuthire were good.

Cocky - got 3/4 of footy and in the last minute had a good cocky moment. Got thru unscathed.

Evans looked slick with the ball in hand on F 50.
All the new rookies had moments.

Chook, Fog, Simmo and Cooper looked very good and not out of place.

Per Shane OBree.

GO Catters

Thanks for that - good to hear all of it.

 

[foxdog50]

Best I can do.

Go Catters

Done well Daz

 

[romeohwho]

Comon Cats. Mightn’t be easy. Need the win.
And good luck to Stevens.

 

[Shai]

Whoever just interviewed Steven tried their best to rattle him. He handled himself well, hope he can build some confidence tonight.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

GO CATS!!

Good luck to Jack in his first game for the club. Let’s hope he gets a goal or two and has a good game.

And we get the win!!

Evans ... is one I had looked forward to seeing... must be tough for all the guys who are off Broadway

 

[The_Todd07]

Took a whole 15 minutes for the shape of the ground to come up

 

[foodles05]

GO CATS!!

Good luck to Jack in his first game for the club. Let’s hope he gets a goal or two and has a good game.

And we get the win!!

Yeah if he does dob one that will be a definite get around moment. After all they are all human are some things are more important than footy

 

[BigCat1]

Big game for Rhys.

Ive said for a long while he should play every game and he seems to do well against The comps big names and then just when you think he’s turned the corner he gets absolutely dated by a no name and we lose.

I want a big game tonight to back up last week.

 

[StonedCat]

Carn the Cats, we need this. Smash'em like we did to the Hawks and we'll all sleep well

The smile on Jack Steven's face was worth a million bucks

[Heckler]

Keen to see if the Cats continue playing as they did last week.
Whether is was a one off against a down on the day Hawks.
Will they confirm some changes in playing style from last season.
Watching their ball movement quickness, avoiding stoppages, play on and attack / defense balance.

 

[Turbocat]

JStev in a long sleeve ? Not that cold... ?

Reckon cookie could be around until 2025 to make sure the club is in a terrific position, as he says, will take a few years to get back to where we were, 2020 and 2021 is going to be very tough.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Given the way results have been going so far this week, I fear Carlton might pull off an upset. Come on, Cats.

 

[Turbocat]

Why do they get to wear navy shorts?
