Its clearly not ideal but I'm pumped up because the Cats are in it and because the footy has been one of the things that has gotten me through this trainwreck of a year. I'm hoping enough people aren't interested so that the ratings are so abysmal that the AFL will shelve the idea of another...

I'm always reluctant to step on to opposition boards but just wanted to wish all you Lions supporters the best and congratulate the team on a pretty bloody impressive 2020. I think our boys deserved the win but the Lions didn't lie down like the Pies did the week before. Losing a prelim sucks...

I've been thinking about this one. 2010, Gaz's last game in the Hoops (or so we thought) was vs the Pies in a Prelim. 2011,We beat the Pies for the Premiership 2019, TK's last game in the hoops was vs the Tiges in a Prelim. 2020 Premiership is in the bag!

Was watching the Best of the Wiggles DVD with my son the other day and noticed the name Alex Ishchenko in the credits. Solid career change by the Big Russian.

The Stephen Jurica one took me by surprise. Good on him. His name often comes up when talking to my Richmond supporter mates about some of the non-entities they had running around in the late 90s. Justin Plapp generally gets a run too. Adrian McAdam went on to be decent cricketer (took 3fer...

I reckon Dahl is key in those sorts of matches where the pressure is on. When he gets the pill there are few better at shooting out a lightning handpass and applies plenty of pressure too. He doesn't stand out in our team as a match winner as he did at times for the Dogs, but is very handy to...

Apologies for the intrusion, but not sure if you're aware that Bailey Williams was in a moonboot at the Dalhaus Clubhouse clinic this morning. Hopefully nothing to serious.

Safe assumption, but do we know this for sure?

Colbert and Mansfield were the ones that really hurt for me, although as stated somewhere earlier we really did get their best years out of them. Was just wondering if anyone knows who we got from North for Cam Thurley, or was he just delisted? I thought he was going to go ok, but it seems he...

Completely agree, although my point is more about the fact that punching someone in retaliation is different to self defence.

Seriously? I reckon if most girls attacked me I could DEFEND myself without causing them too much physical injury. Eg, restrain them. If, as in the example above they were stabbing me, more radical measures can be taken, but its called proportionality.

At least two electricity retailers who have relied on EW to make sales will be annoucing this afternoon that they have ended their relationships. BTW - there are real Electricity Umpires. The Essential Services Commission (or equivalent) in each state, runs a price comparator service similar...

$75 is you sign up a residential account, $150 if you sign up a business.

Full disclosure up front, I am an employee of Momentum (elite sponsor of the Cats), and I thought some people might be interested in this. http://www.momentumenergy.com.au/gocats If you switch your electricity account to Momentum you get a discount voucher for your 2012 membership (redeemable...

Neither 2007 or 2009 are prime numbers so we clearly overachieved. 2011 is in the bag tho'.:D

Colin Carter mentioned before the match that Stokesy's grandmother passed away and that's why we were wearing the armbands. Apparently he is off Darwin this week so don't know if that has any implications for this week's selections. That's not to suggest that they wouldn't have worn them for...

This. And spend the day at home having a bit of "quality time" with Symone. Surely its not just me is it?

2007 GF - especially the final qtr coz up until that time I still wasn't convinced that we had it in the bag and was nervous as hell. One I mentioned on the Geelong board recently was against Adelaide this year where I sitting right next to Mitch Brown's parents as he kicked a goal with his...

He's had a pretty massive fall from grace in recent years but Daryn Creswell belting his dislocated patella back into place was friggin hardcore! Current players - Lenny and Jimmy are the two that come to mind.

Agree with most of that. Am personally stoked with Joel Corey. He looked absolutely shot at the end of last year with his injuries but is now back playing just about the best footy of his career and reminding everyone what an absolute star he is. While I personally wouldn't give anyone...

Ian Callinan doesn't get a mention in the OP. Been in SA for quite a while but played for the Devils and Mariners so even if he wasn't Tassie born (not sure...anyone?) I'd assume he fits the criteria.

Actually I thought we were talking about the past five years...try and keep up.

Some pretty baffling HTB decisions against Brisbane, and a few pretty clear indications of why the advantage rule is seriously flawed. WRT the Brown incident - play on as far as I am concerned. The only thing I can think of is that the ump thought that Selwood made contact with his foot (ie...

Didn't we also have the audacity to do something completely legal with Chappy's hamstrings (or was it Maxy's calf blood shots?). Outrageous.

Plenty of awesome hightlights from the team and individual players already mentioned in this thread, but I had a great Geelong moment yesterday that I thought it was worth dusting it off for. I was lucky enough to get a gig at the Prezzo's lunch yesterday and was sitting right behind Mitch...

A lot of this would be a non issue if the umpires paid the free kick immediately before Buddy's in the back/dive. The Schoenmaker's kick from the midfield was off 17 steps and he was going to kick twice before he actually put boot to ball. Any other night this was have been a Geelong free for...

Including one that was paid twice (ie, Hawks played on, umpire called play on then called it back...WTF?) and a shocker of a 50 metre penalty for Jimmy's minor contact on Buddy.

Five pages into this thread I was starting to think it was just me. For the reasons mentioned above but mostly because earlier in his career he could dive better than Stevie J or Matthew Lloyd. Seems to have realised (as SJ should) that you can play a lot better if you stay on your feet, but...

For the Cats Josh Hunt still cops it for being soft on the basis of one poor decision a few years back. He's not in the best form at the moment but over the journey I reckon he's put paid to the idea that he is soft.
