Thought I’d get away from AFL during the bye but with Australia pretty sh*te in very other sport except soccer and the weather in Melb not much better, thought some other Cats tragics might want to share a view or two on our season - is Geelong on track with your expectations for the year?
IMO - Expecting a 6 to 12 finish at pre season, we are actually tracking ahead of my expectations, particularly taking account of our injuries and (until last the two games) hopeless rucks.
The clear bonus so far has been the amazing overnight transformation from an aging and slow backline to a rock solid opposite, followed closely by the sudden/unexpected emergence of Sav, Henry and Cunico and Kelly delivering on the pre season hype. With Fogarty, Constable and possibly Narkle and Meirs showing great potential, my hopes are right up there for the future.
Still not sure that we are top 4 side this year but if we finally get some luck with injuries, in particular with Menzel, Cocky, Scooter and even one of Taylor and Henderson, who knows? Last two seasons have shown that peak form in the last 7 or 8 weeks can be enough.
Other views ? (Including, if you feel inclined, how sh*te Australia is in practically every other men’s sport)
