    So why are you a Cats fan?

    Re: So why are you actually a cats fan? Originally from NSW came to Melbourne in 1961 ( I'm one of the oldies) as a 9 year old. Moved to Altona and in those days you just barracked for Footscray. Younger brother started school and the kid he became best mates with gave him a Geelong jumper...

    The hatred towards Geelong

    We brought our seats of the internet and when we arrive at the ground we were right in the middle of the St Kilda members area. I must say except for the odd one or two they were really nice people. They did question every free we got, cursed Gazza more times than I care to remember but I was...

    We were up the art centre end last year about 11am, only about three people deep had a great view right on the fence. But due to work commitments will arrive late so heading up Collins St around 12.15pm hoping to catch the end of the parade then. I do remember they were late getting started last...

    Premiership hangover

    I feel for you MrMackie I would have been devastated if I had missed this one. But being a September member had its advantage this time. My son and his wife went in draw and were lucky to get pulled out and my daughter and her partner because of working commitments did no become members paid...

    Premiership hangover

    I always thought I would be drunk for a week if we won the flag. But over the years one gets older and ones ideas change. All I can say if you took a look around the ground and saw the tears that were shed. Grown men crying with delight. Older women who have been to everyone one of those game...

    W.A Cat's fans / membership

    Have travelled over several times to watch the Catters play in Perth. I know from talking to the Perth Cats your membership does not get you in. If you join the Perth Cats Gerry Long (G Long) thats right is the President of the group. He usually lets all members know via Perth Cats web site on...

    Rd 20 Sydney - Where are Best seats??

    We were there in 2006, when Otters took the mark of the year. Our seats were on the wing ( near Otter) one row behind the players interchange bench. Boy did we hear a few things there and also made a few comments to the various players. But the view from this area was fantastic .

    One month on, Whats changed for you ?

    Henry Playfair

    Henry was a star in his last season in the VFL. I think nerves got the better of him when he was promoted to play against Port. Everything that could went wrong, I am sure he has a lot to offer and I wish him all the best.

    King/Gardiner Traded to the Saints

    Re: Oh Charlie & King... I listened to Kingy in his media wrap. He actually mentioned in the conversation that the club sorting things out was the least they could do after 13years. Come on Kingy you played in two Grand finals and got a premiership medallion that could have gone to Blakey. The...

    Private Chit Chat I

    You must have got him in a good mood. Apparently they tell me he had trouble getting into the after party function ( no green band ). He let out a few descriptive words at the unimpressed group. The real weird thing was that not one of the group spoke to him they were talking to Joel Sellwood...

    Private Chit Chat I

    After the way Shannon Byrnes spoke to members of my family after the Best and Fairest I think you would get many many people to join up. Drink or no drink one should still respect your supporters ( and they were not annoying him just walking down the street). He was upset over something and let...
