Watching The Final Quarter tonight I just couldn't remember Adam Goodes being booed by Geelong fans at Kardinia Park or in Sydney whenever we played the Swans in that era. I don't know if that's just a selective memory, But I hope it's true.

I remember that game pretty well because of both Goodes coming back and the fact that we had a stirring win to keep our finals hopes alive. I remember pretty well that we didn't boo either

I haven't had a chance to watch the doco yet, did they claim we booed too?

Nah, they showed both teams running through the same banner, then had a grab of Sam Newman on the Footy Show saying how stupid he thought it was.

No, they didn't show us booing Goodes, I don't think we ever did. The usual suspects though when it comes to booing - Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton, & West Coast supporters.

And our friends from Punt Road.
 

Interesting analysis of who wins the most if each quarters this year.

We're first for 2nd and 3rd quarters and second for 1st and 4th
 
Is it just me that is thinking we are going to get the tigers at the G in the qualifying final, lose to them and then possibly fight through to the GF, only to lose to them again?

Tell me I’m wrong. Please!

Well, whoever we get in the first week of the finals will be certainly happy about playing a team with such a piss poor record coming off a bye. I mean, Geez, it's only one week fellas. Get your shit together.

Well, playing them is quite a distinct possibility, but how it goes from there only time will tell.

I suspect they'll grab the tag of favourites, unless we improve noticeably.

EDIT: Nick Riewoldt just claimed them as his favourites, and another commentator (?) reckoned we'd likely play off with a crowd of 80k, and 80% of those barracking for the Tigers

According to the ladder predictor, I've got the Tigers finishing 5th or 6th, winning each of their last 6 games, except against the Eagles.

My other selections aren't outrageous, either.

1. Eagles/Geelong
2. Eagles/Geelong
3. GWS
4. Collingwood
5. Brisbane
6. Richmond
7. Essendon
8. Freo/Bulldogs

That's with us losing to North, Brisbane and Carlton (but sub in any 3 losses you like).
 
Time to revitalise the purpose of Cat Scan. 6 players on our list have a comment since the season started.
Having these threads shoved away in some dark corner doesn't invite debate. Of clubs that have similar models on Brisbane regularly uses their sub-forum properly.

Would save the embarrassment of bozos going the early “Toast” thread by having them on the main board too. 🙈

Put here as there is no real suggestion box, and I know I have raised this before.

Of the 16 non-expansion clubs with actual fan bases about 4-5 do it the same as we do, and only Brisbane has an active players sub-forum.

Having each players generic player thread on the main part of the forum prevents the toast/roast/opinion thread creation and duplication issue.

Just frustrated that I tried garnering opinion on Narkle and was shut down because he was discussed in game review. Game review threads should be for game review, broader player specific discussions need a place and Cat Scan is as dead as the last pope.

Edit: Case in point a new Toast thread for Dek. If he flops then there will be a roast thread soon enough. Splitting discussion.
 
If russia starts launching nukes and ends all of humanity in the next two months do we declare the premier the team at the top or declare the season null and void with no premier?

im not sure how i would feel if the competition ended with melbourne claiming back to back flags.

If all humanity ends in the next 2 months, not sure there's any discussion around the 2nd part nor that it matters because you know, "all humanity has ended"

Also not sure this is a football discussion and probably has a more relevant discussion point somewhere on the main board

Great club with a proud history. The problem is now when any team has a prolonged drought younger fans seem to think that erases all history to what only they can remember. They're still the only club to have won three in a row twice. And I doubt anyone is going to come close to 5 flags in 6 years.

Either way, we might have get used to the idea of back to back for Melbourne. Barring injury, and astonishing loss of form, or a 1998/2008 Grand final day meltdown, they're going to take some serious beating.

I can't believe the boffins of this world feel it necessary to devote their time and resources to finding an 'appropriate' name with which to re-label the monkeypox virus because the name can be deemed 'rascist and discriminatory'.

Seriously??

Has society become that petty and precious that things like this are deemed necessary?

It truly is a generation of people having nothing better to do than find offense in every single word and action.

Sigh.
 


Actually a bit disappointed they haven't shown his 2nd goal. Which we now know is one that made it 1000, not his 3rd which they've shown.
 
You are wrong.
There will not be much of a fight to begin with. We ain't going to the grand final.

Always easy to comment retrospectively on events from 2019...

Not sure that comment really needed a response a few years on
