    Also reported in Geelong: http://bit.ly/ePbsTK There's been a giant spike in public reports of UFOs throughout the world recently. Whether that means ETs, experiments or just some cool natural phenomenons happening is up to those who see it.

    2010 Hottest 100

    Couple of great songs right there. Have you got into Off With Their Heads by any chance? I think their song Drive is the only one up for nomination this year.

    When have you unexpectedly run into a "rock" whatever star?

    Met Chris Cheney the other night when they played a secret gig in Geelong. Nice guy. Was just standing at the back having a beer watching the other bands play. Driving home from Pyramid last year and car ahead of us has a 'Kram' numberplate. Pull alongside, the man was in the back of the car...

    Geelong 2007 vs. Collingwood 2010 - Neutrals only

    Collingwood was a point away from being a footnote in a discussion about whether Geelong 2007 was better than St Kilda 2010. In saying that, Cats competition in 2007 was no where near as deep as Collingwood's this year. On paper, Geelong by a fair margin. That means there's something to be...

    How will cats supporters greet Ablett?

    I won't be booing him and I bet the majority won't. But a minority booing will always be louder than a majority sitting in silence...so either way it's going to appear that Cats fans will be booing him.

    Dismantling of Cat empire

    Thanks guys. And further to my post, I'm interested in seeing which current Cats players would still be genuine stars at other clubs when not surrounded by a solid, experienced team. There's only a few I genuinely think would be regarded in the top echelon if they were at a lower side and...

    Which club has been most humble in GF victory this decade?

    I think if we had have won the 2008 flag we would be viewed a lot less favourably than we are. Arrogance, in my case, was replaced by other things when we won. In 2007 I was so blown away by what had happened, I was shocked, that it was difficult to be arrogant. I more soaked up what a...

    Society/Culture Kevin Bracken - you're a #$%&*$%#

    He has a point. But so do those who believe what's commonly believed to have happened. Both theories have their merits, I'm not going to get into the argument because there's an entire thread dedicated to it. I have questions about both theories and accept I'll probably never know the full...

    Madden 2011

    I had very little idea besides a basic understanding of first downs, second downs etc. If you like sports games it's a just have.

    Dismantling of Cat empire

    Yep, no doubt we're on the way down. That core group of players from the 99 draft/trade will start struggling now. The likes of Corey, Enright, Chapman, Mooney, Ling, plus Ottens, Milburn and Wojcinski aren't getting any younger. The reason younger blokes like Menzel and Duncan look good is...

    Geelong, a dump

    There's a few simple reasons why people think Geelong is a hole: 1. To get there you have to travel through Norlane and Corio, quite easily the two worst, unattractive suburbs in the town (along with Whittington). 2. You also have to travel past the Shell Refinery, which isn't attractive...

    Dismantling of Cat empire

    It's not as simple as no Ablett, no Geelong. Since the Cats extraordinairy run started in 2007, Ablett's missed 8 games. The results of those games were: Win v Brisbane (27 points) Win v Western Bulldogs (61 points) Win v Hawthorn (11 points) Win v Richmond (63 points) Win v Sydney...

    Madden 2011

    Anyone here NFL converts based on the Madden games? I've always been slightly interested in NFL and my mates have constantly told me I have to have at least one Madden game in my collection. Yesterday I got Madden 11 and was up until 2am playing it...just lost track of time. I haven't got...

    Random, but....

    Definately did it last year. Don't know why they would pick and choose when they do it. Seems a bit silly.

    Will a current coach takeover from Thompson?

    Lock in Brenton Sanderson. There's a reason he rejected the Port job after being favourite to get it. I'd also say considering the senior playing group at Geelong has been together for the better part of ten years, I don't think they'd take kindly to an outsider senior coach. I'd say Sando is...

    Society & Culture Little Moments of Win

    My ultimate win night: Second year uni, we got invited to a first year function because we were the defending boat race champions from the year before. Got through to the final where you have to down pints as fast as possible and we were against an American team. They were beating us until...

    Family & Relationships How do you get over a girl?

    I had one like this a few years ago and it took a long, long time to get over. We were together for a couple of years, first real GF and it was rough, but you do get over it. Right now I've stopped seeing a girl I didn;t even like that much and it still sucks. It's just that knowing that...

    Who do you want to win the GF?

    St Kilda. Still po'd at them for the QF because I think we'd be playing another GF if it was not for them. But my dad is a Saints supporter and I'd be happy to see them win for his sake.

    Review POSITIVES---> Semi-Final against Geelong

    This is word for word what I was going to say. Cats v Lions prelim in 2004, we just looked so much smaller compared to the battle hardened bodies. Dockers will be there abouts in the coming years, no doubt at all.

    Why we can beet Geelong

    Not writing the Dockers off. Would be an amazing story if the young Dockers knocked off the seasoned veterens. I'm interested, would you have preferred to play the Cats at the MCG or Docklands? I was personally disappointed that we're playing at the G. Would have been much more confident...

    Opinion Favourite 5 Cats of all time

    1. P.Chapman 2. B.Sanderson 3. G.Ablett Jr 4. G.Ablett Sr 5. P.Riccardi If you went with just genuine nice guys, I'd probably take Ablett Sr out and throw Tom Harley in there. Or Jimmy Bartel. Both great blokes.

    Environment Wrong Crowd

    Try watching Family Guy with someone in a wheelchair who regularly gets upset that they're in a wheelchair. Awkward.

    Your favourite home and away game of all time?

    Ledger, wasn't that game a final? Just checking. My favourite home and away games are: Geelong v St Kilda, 2009: We lost, but it was just a classic match. Hard, skillful football that the umpires had very little impact on. One of the few losing games I've walked away from shaking my...

    The real rising star has not even been nominated yet..

    It's not like he named himself though. I'm sure his parents had something to do with putting Jordie on the birth certificate.
