2002 - After winning the VFL grand final with a bunch of new kids looking okay (and David Mensch kicking a crucial late goal) I made the bold call that these guys were truly special, and given time, the perennially mediocre Geelong side would finally win the AFL flag in 2008.

Despite coming from nowhere to win either side of that year, as well as being truly dominant in 2008, my friends never fail to remind me that technically, I was wrong.

I thought Patrick Karnezis would be a 20-25 disposal, 1 goal a game average on baller for us, and could be our Steve Johnson.

I was wrong, Jack Crisp however is producing what I hoped Karnezis would.

Butcher is shot which is a shame. He certainly had the talent. Continued complications with his back and a complete lack of confidence in his kicking and it's all gone downhill.

If a club could fix his confidence and kicking he would be one of the best forwards in the comp.
Will be gone at seasons end. He is so mentally shot it aint funny, quite sad to see him moping around in the SANFL getting towelled up most weeks. Maybe a change of scenery will spark him into action

As a Cats man it hurts to say it but I thought that Geelong would just turn up in 2008 and win the flag......boy was i wrong and Big Footy never lets me forget it

I thought Essendon was guilty of doping, but would get off. Then I thought they were innocent and would get heavily punished. Then I thought they were guilty and would be found guilty. Then I thought they were innocent and would be found innocent.

Then my head hurt.

Story of my life really.

Kidding, right?
I thought when clawed back a huge deficit to beat Essendon in Round 1 and clinically took apart Port in Round 2 it meant we were really good.
