I hate that it's gone down this track, but it seems that there are very few on the commentary team capable of simply calling the game. I want to hear what's going on ON FIELD, not some has been's opinion of what should or should not happen regarding rules, draws, judiciaries, injurys and...

Score flattered us. There's a big difference between determination and desperation. Not a pleasant game to watch...

My father, daughter, sister and step-brother are there, and apparently it's about a 50/50 split at the moment, but they expect more Tigers fans to come.

I grew up always believing we did have a big rivallry, but our household was split 50/50 Cats/Pies, so it may have just been us. Everyone hated Collingwood back then. It wasn't until 1989 I truly started to despise Hawthorn and that hatred overtook my dislike of Collingwood.

Yep, Fox it was. I already had the computer set up to broadcast the radio call and was going to use IQ to sync the picture to the call, and found that the fox team was actually quite good.

Can't wait for this to happen. I run long distance and listen to several podcasts while out on the roads. It'll be good to combine 2 of my interests!

Do you really love the lamp or are you just saying that because you saw it?

Really appreciated hearing Eddie and co. Call the Cats/Swans game yesterday. The difference in quality of the call was light years ahead of BT/Richo and crew.

He wasn't talking fines, he said we should forfeit. I'm glad you posted this here and not in the fourth estate. I thought I was overreacting when I was shouting at the screen "CALL THE DAMN GAME!!!". I'm so over the garbage that is served to us week in/week out. Bring back the game callers...

Geez, I'd just finished reading this: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/cats-cream-of-the-crop-20130818-2s573.html and was feeling all good, then read this thread....

Well played!

I remember a time where the commentators would actually call the game, and if nothing was happening, we got to hear ....*gasp*....dead air!! My dear old Mum said "If you've got nothing to say, say nothing at all". Shame this lot didn't hear the same when they were growing up.

Wondering if I'm watching the same game as these umps! The wife reckons Hawks are kicking off because they're embarrassed by the decisions they've been getting....

A lot of good to be taken from that. With Hawkins, Kelly, Corey and Chapman in the side that wouldn't have been such a thriller. I'm not too disappointed, 5 points is anyones game come finals.

I wonder how many times my Wife will let me watch the replay this weekend. :D

Any team is greater than the sum of it's parts. The team has changed since 2007, as has many of it's parts. The success despite the change is what makes the Team great. There was a comedian (I can't recall whom right now) that built an entire routine based around the fact that we support 'the...

In the toughest of arm-wrestles there can still only be one winner. I'm glad for the result, but am also relieved (I was worried more than once during the course of the game). The quality of your side cannot be denied. I have no doubt at all that you'll be back stronger than ever next season...

Re: Where will you watch the Grand Final from? Murphy Creek Escape (just at the base of the Toowoomba Range). There for the DW's 40th Birthday. She's not too impressed with the coincidence in dates, I think it's bloody brilliant:D:thumbsu:.

Just wanted to drop by to say that I'm truly glad Buddys knee was only a hyper-extension and not as bad as first thought.

Was there last night, and was very impressed all round. Metricon looks nothing short of fantastic, so much of an improvement on the old Cararra Stadium! The Suns showed form, class, determination and skill in the opening half and I'm glad they got to show their fans signs of things to come...

Hey moondog, I'm in the same boat as you (on the Gold Coast), but after frantically searching every channel on the box, I found that (as mentioned by another poster) the game is on Fox 1 at 8.30PM I'm getting too old to stay up between Midnight and 2.00am Monday morning to watch footy, even if...

Re: AFL Round 10 ticketing - Gold Coast v Geelong 'Skilled Park' (the Titans home ground) is one of the most expensive places to go to watch football in the country. Even if they do schedule a match against the Suns for their first game at Carrara, there will be a full crowd to see the Cats...

Superb preview!! Well written and insightful. Well done:thumbsu:

Re: Brisbane v Geelong at the Gabba I live on the Gold Coast and travel up for the Brisbane game each year by train to Southbank station. From there they have connection buses to the Gabba, but we prefer to walk the 15 mins to the ground with the rest of the incoming crowd and soak up a bit of...

Look, it sucks that we didn't get up in the end, but the chicken little brigade really should settle down a bit. There were mistakes made by the boys that probably shouldn't have been but the pressure was pretty intense for the largest part of the game, and errors can and will be forced. It's...

Well done Freo, a great game to watch. Pavlich a full on star, Sandilands an incredible force, Mundy was very handy when required, Ballantyne stood up, your tackling pressure was fierce and you never lost belief. I think you'll be a genuine force this season. Too good for us today. Enjoy.

From what I'm led to believe (brother in-law works for A.S.A.D.A) it's known as 'Blood Doping' and involves drawing the blood several weeks prior to the competition date, centrifuging it to separate the red blood cells from the plasma and then re-injecting the red blood cells on the day of...

I'm somewhat of a traditionalist, and as such I'm not in favour of your new Guernsey. If I were a former Fitzroy supporter I'd be livid. Having said that, I was not in favour of our clubs change in design (still aren't really) but the ill feeling wears off, and the refusal to buy the newly...

Just take note that the difference between those two images is the colour of the word Cats. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it dates back to a time when the team name was always written in black regardless of the colours of the emblem. I thought it was prior to our use of that emblem...

Excellent article. It amazes me how Americanized his descriptions were. Almost as if it were another english dialect. Our game can be as confusing as all get out to the un-initiated, but if I were watching the game for the first time, I'd love to have that guy sitting next to me. Very well...
