At very least you'd have to put Collingwood equal second as they never lost to any other club for entire year, including finals..... that's some achievement!

It's pretty amazing to see stats that are so out of line with all other indicators, but remarkably the same can be said at all clubs verses opposition clubs to some degree but more-so with the one above mentioned, as it's not just a given playing group performing well against another, as this is...

With Craig McCrae, there's been a 'big change' in directorship. All out on experienced and older players is something I've never seen before, hence why many see a cliff coming with 2025 being make or break year for the club. Even at Geelong over the past 15 years or so with our normal group of...

Chris Scott did make mention that he made a big mistake by dropping Shaun Mannagh, said he should have never been dropped and the changes that Shaun had to make in his game could have been done in the seniors without the need of him going back to the ressies. He was very clear about that and I...

Excellent assumption and agree on all points Kitcat: Thought Nathan Krueger had makings of excellent AFL player and to some point I still do but his lack of awareness of how to use his body and physic along with using general footy nous in regards to that has been poor, hence many unnecessary...

That being the case MF and with hindsight knowing we may/WOULD lose...... would he have stayed on and given it his best shot and we WIN !!!

We've had too many suspensions in finals which has been so disappointing coz there so hard to win, but it's normally been our elite players rubbed out not the bottom six. Bottom line, none of these suspensions were as bad as what Barry Hall did in the Prelim in 2005, but he miraculously got off...

It's hard to perform elite skills in 'wet and soft' conditions which is something Gazza Snr was elite at doing 'regularly' which very few others were and I have seen Polkinghorne take a 'ridiculously huge mark' off a couple of steps and kick a long goal in 'wet and soft' conditions. I think this...

To see Dempsey come-on the whole of 2024 season, then Mannagh and Humphries come-on big time in the latter part of year, if we can see O'Sullivan and Neale make similar progression by the end of 2025 home and away season, then I reckon we'll be flag favourites by end of 2025 home & away season...

Had a mate say before he played a game he was going to be a star so I watched with intent..... 'was good ordinary player at best', anyone that says otherwise is grossly overestimating his playing capabilities.

Oh YES, how quickly one forgets and the poor bugger hasn't even played a game yet.... thanks for my forgetfulness but it would be ironic if Dusty decided to make comeback for one season and play for Cats and win himself another flag!

OTG: I was absolutely stoked that we drafted Lawson Humphries in 2023 and I wrote a piece later-on (see below) on Geelong Big Footy explaining why, after Kingy made some glowing remarks about him. I do realise that the attached below video at '37 seconds' is only one piece of play but I've...

I'm a little confused Mr Meow: are we talking about Dusty Martin who I thought was retired for good or Oisin Mullin or is there another Martin I do not know about?

Gary Ablett Snr is the only player in VFL/AFL history to kick 100 goals and win the Coleman Medal in three successive seasons. He also is the oldest player at 33 years of age to kick a 100 goals in a season which was in 1995. He also kicked the second fastest 100 in VFL/AFL history in the 1993...

Certainly agree with '93 comments and by home and away season after beating The Eagles convincingly in the last game of year over in Subiaco, with Gazza and Stoneham on fire, it was clear the Cats were the best side in it but as you alluded that defensive mindset earlier in season cost us...

Outstanding effort by all concerned Footy Smarts: and when taking into consideration the lack of elite draft pics during that period then it's beyond outstanding..... bloody awesome I say !!!

Listening to Shannon speak, the one area that impressed was his overall knowledge of what was happening around him on his return back to the club and on the track. In particular, when speaking about with other Geelong players but also with the new draftees, that is so impressive. It seems if...

He already has told me personally, but regardless it's just opinions but to see Gazza Snr play nearly all his games live and most of JNR's when playing for Cats, it was an absolute pleasure to see them both.

NOT shouting but regardless whether I was whispering, it's only a matter of opinions at the end of the day of which you will not change yours and I, certainly won't be changing mine. But if you ask SNR he will tell you he was the better player than his sons and if you ask JNR, well he'll say his...

NO..... Jnr was NOT a better footballer then SNR, never was, never will be.... and I'm sure Jnr would be the best one to answer that question of which I already know the answer!

Aboriginals are somewhat more athletic and better suited to playing both footy codes of AFL and NFL in Australia compared to the rest of us Aussies. As an example, there's 8% of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander players in the AFL compared to 3.8% of the total Australian population. But also...

By getting 18 to 1 tells me how underrated the list was which is not dissimilar to your ongoing comments about the side. Furthermore, I see this B-grade list as you state vying for a top 4 spot again in 2025 with another very live chance of winning the 2025 flag (among a few other very talented...

Below is snippet from above article and it's great to see Shaun Mannagh and Lawson Humphries giving the young boys much encouragement along with some excellent advice through their own personal experiences that can only be beneficial to this young crop of pussy cats. “But I was very grateful to...

Excellent observation F2G, spot on and along with his extremely poor turnovers under 'no pressure' at times was his major downfall. Brendan really should have gone on to be an excellent AFL player, such a shame but he brought it on himself.

Agree that Brendan Parfitt should have gone on a been an excellent AFL player, I was a 'big fan' but he brought it on himself with his disposal deficiency both by hand and foot. Just never improved in that area, in fact he got worse which shouldn't have happened as most players in time improve...

I did make mention earlier on I'm not sure how he fits into the side for the excellent reasons you have stated KG but what I do know he's too good a footballer to have another year in the ressies. He will be a permanent fixture in the side at some point in 2025 and he'll make a great MCG, finals...

Gotta say that Ollie Dempsey is developing a great build to be a top AFL player, obviously he's put a lot of hard work in and it's now starting to pay dividends, as the kid already has got heaps of natural talent. Ollie should, along with a few other younger Cats have an entertaining...

Yeah, I've already mentioned in a previous post My Tilly: if Holmes doesn't go down we not only win the game but the flag, so I'm fully in agreeance there. And just on Max Holmes along with Bailey Smith, their game is built for the MCG and finals, same as Isaac Smith as you mentioned who could...

Agree with you there Mr Meow:..... this is why McInerney was almost a blessing in disguise when he got injured with Daniher going into ruck, as it opened up Brisbane's forward line and made them more dangerous with many of those clinical goals that Brisbane kicked and you speak of in second half...
