Re: Autopsy thread - Round 19 - Geelong defeat Melbourne by 186 points We needed to make a statement before the finals. Hopefully this is just the start of that statement.

I don't like this coasting to line business. We should be trying to destroy teams and developing our intensity and ruthlessness.

Looking for a stream too if anyone has found one.

Re: Fev may become a cat!!!! I personally have been proud of the behaviour of our players over the last 10 years. I have been glad that generally we haven't descended into a media circus and mostly our players have made the news for the right reasons. We have talked endlessly about the unity...

Re: Please can we get some perspective. Please. We need a number of things to happen to be at our best for September. Mainly the players you have mentioned back and in form. The downside of that is that their is always the chance that they are not back or are not in form. Can we really rely on...

There There, Let it all out.

How many Hawks fans jump onto a negative thread about the Cats? Wah wah wah those Cats don't play fair,Wah Wah, and the umpires let them Wah Wah Wah! Seriously boys focus on your team instead of crying about how terrible our players are. You might notice a few of your boys diving too.

And historically what precedent is there for this group of players to set a record?

When you say 'in reality' do you actually mean something else? because in threality we are 13 - 1. look http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_ladder See. I think you are right we may chalk up our second loss next weekend. Will I be worried if we do? No, because 13 - 2 (in reality) is...

True enough, the pies are beatable, hopefully by the Hawks today. That would make round 24 very interesting.

13 - 1 are pretty good stats for a team who have been "old and gone" all year. Still a bit left in the season and we will still be there in the final shake up. Which is more than anyone expected this year! first loss of the year (next week could well be the second) but i am still a happy cat.

Big shock there. It turns out all teams that lose (especially narrowly) have supporters that blame the umpires. Must be why we hear so much whining from Hawks supporters after they play the Cats. No excuse - Essendon were very good last night, we weren't. end of story, no big deal. It...

We have another half a season of this. Until finals come and we see whats what! Collingwood have the ability to beat any and every team, so do we, and to a lesser extent so do Carlton and possibly Hawthorn. Another challenger may even surface from the chasing pack before the end of the home and...

We are Geelong, They are the Melbourne Press. Sometimes we are part of Melbourne (like the 08 Grand Final when it was fantastic to have two Melbourne clubs in the Grand Final but most of the time we are not given the credit we deserve. Who cares? We have Big Footy and the Addy. If they want to...

Brighton and Hove Albion Geelong Liverpool England (overpaid arrogant and uninspiring. More of a chore at the moment) Brighton currently have a very bright future. We are about to move into a brand new stadium after playing in a converted athletics track (8000 capacity). for the last...

I don't know if you can hang your hat on professional umpires. I remember the same discussions in the UK when they made the referees professional over there and it didn't make a huge amount of difference. Officials making mistakes is the same in every quick team sport the world over. They...

I wouldn't. I was wondering why the poster i replied to bought it up. Just for the record i still haven't got over 1983. Brighton - Man U cup final replay humiliation.

Follow the thread mate, I was replying to a post about the Saints final last year. not a mention of 2008 (I admit to not having got over it, but i don't and have never grizzled about the umpiring. Just one of those things better team on the day.) I think you will find that the last time...

The free was given. We lost the game. We lost a chance at a premiership. We got over it (some took longer than other i will admit). But ultimately our premiership, or that game did not rest on that decision. The reasons for our lack of success last year are well documented. The main one still...

SmellyFish??? Really???? Are you old enough to be on this forum? :D:D

Hawthorn describe their football as unsociable. If you play that way you will always give away more free kicks. It stands to reason.

So Gaz still has so much influence on the cats that he can make us play badly for a half? No-one holds a grudge like football fans.:D Look at the ladder. 9-0. he left a great team. We are still a great team. We are challenging at the top of the ladder. move on....end of story..

I can't say i felt anything negative towards Gaz last night, Thought I might but I didn't. Just admired a good player who is bloody hard to tackle. The players have moved on and we pleased to see their mate. WooHoo I have moved on too. Feels good:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::):)

Passion was good, but not sure about this idea of playing Stevie J through the midfield, IMO he is one of our best forwards and should play there!

Re: Cooky on AW Well said that man

You mean that because the coach, most high profile player and an assistant have all left and we have a new coach there is unrest among the squad. 2+2=4

Mooney has never been a decent kick for goal over and extended period. He goes through patches of confidence and straight kicking . We need to hope he can get his head straight soon in time for the finals.

As i remember it we had a good team in 2004 and 2005, top four in 2004 and a good game and close loss against Brisbane. In 2005 was that bloody Nick Davis goal on the siren in the semi final?. So for me we were bui;lding up to something, but stuggling to make the final step. With the benefit of...

2 premierships in 3 years, a load of records broken, two brownlow's and being able to watch such a fantastic team with incredible players over a prolonged period of time eases the pain somewhat, thanks for your concern though.

i remember a few years ago we were known as a very even team, often called a team with no stars. Now we are still an even team but they call us a team full of superstars.
