Typos are the spice of life, unending perfection gets boring.

If typos are the spice of your life then unending perfection is the least of your worries!

Oh mate it was terrible feeling so fearful and helpless. Too many broken hearts before and I was “ye of little faith”..

kids these days don't know how good they've got it.

there are common emotional scars experienced by all those Cats fans who went through the pain of 1989-95.

again; character building!

 

[allrighty]

Given Scott won't be able to come to terms with dropping blicavs.

Should we play sdk as sub. It gives us back up for both Stanley and if the tall fowards get away from blicavs and Henry?

Sdk could even give an extra avenue foward if things aren't working there too.

Touhy doesn't offer much as sub.

Blitz got votes last game

Bartel calling for Hawkins to play…..

Smoke and mirrors.

 

[Play it Sam]

I am in immortal 12th dimensional being, I've lived an uncountable number of lives, in an uncountable number of places, in an uncountable variation of forms, within universes that follow a uncountable variation of initial conditions or rules and law of reality. I see events from every possible perspective from events so tiny that no value from the observation could be be gained to events so large all context is lost. As the 1000 monkeys in front of the 1000 typewriters I have made every possible spelling and grammatical mistake.

In most of timelines, when the world resemble this form, Hawthorn drafts Selwood with pick 6. Geelong drafts David Armitage. How could I possibly be be stressed about an event that will occur, is occurring and has occurred a near infinite amount of times. That barely effects a tiny part of one reality, contained in only four dimensions.

It's the Sydney water. They make it hallucinatory to cope with the Real Estate Prices.

 

[allrighty]

You'd be shocked at how many numpties hold board positions.

There's 600,000+ not for profit organisations in Oz alone. I can vouch there are lots of numpties amongst them.

Who can afford water bills these days. Doesn't everyone just collect rainwater in a sponge.

It's proven that paper bags only make it worse- re inhaling carbon dioxide.
Unless you're Carlton.

Don't forget 1967- 69. That was horrible too, and a good reason for Richmond hatred.

Wouldn't the answer be to replace Bews, or send him to sub? Watching replay again atm and not convinced Bews, while dour, has the class and flexibilty of SDK. Stewart dropping back gives us the chip out where we're not too tall without Bews.

I think Bews has to play to sit on Charlie Cameron, who he has a good track record against.
For me:
In: Stewart, SDK (Sub)
Out: Mullin, 2E (Unlucky)

We’re in very, very good selection shape when you can leave out Hawkins, C Guthrie, Clark, Knevitt, Hardie and Parfitt. Only really Conway, Rohan and O’Connor unavailable from possible Best 22.
Who would have predicted Mannagh, Humphries and Neal would be automatic selections in a PF this year?
The transition has been stunning and relatively painless, irrespective of the result on Saturday, given the changing of the guard.

I'll have to resort to chewing gum then

Okay Mrs Fagan.

 

[Lingsface]

Atkins on Neale I think, interested to see if they throw Berry or Dunkley on to Dangerfield at stoppages.

My wildcard tip is- Tanner Bruhn game of his life.

 

[CHAWKTS]

I still don't really believe in us this year but we can't really ask for a much better position to win a PF. Brisbane traveling for a second week in a row, already carrying a few injuries and a bunch of important players look to be struggling while we're well rested.

If we're close at half time we should back ourselves to overrun them.

I look forward to your post in 11 days time…. “I now believe”

Want is interesting for me is that we are leaving out (whether 2E or SDK misses) 6 players from the 2022 premiership. 4 of who are listed as available for GF (although Rohan prob not so maybe 3). And MOC wouldn’t play imo even if fit. Maybe not Rohan either

So we up to 5 players who have been “passed by” (ok some of that is due to those players going backwards).

But I do think it is positive that we don’t HAVE to play those players given confidence in the new players who have become best 23

Yes this, our depth is mind boggling at the moment. We’re trying to find players to leave out but not for negative reasons, going into a prelim, against last years grand finalists.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Many here have already taken the lid off. It’s gonna be a fantastic prelim!!!

Even though we're short odds to beat Brisbane, and two wins from a flag, i don't think the idea we could actually be premiers has really sunk in for pretty much anyone.

 

[Strange Cat]

an immortal being would have better proofreading skills I reckon Lana.

Still, I gotta ask; in those timelines in which we draft David Armitage - we still win the 2007 flag, right??

Yes but only by 100 points

 

[CatToTheFuture]

We need some of that in the Adelaide water. Police patrol kuitpo too much to take the risk on traditional sourcing methods

 

[catempire]

Yes, that's the answer if you take the question literally

It’s also the answer as someone who has seen a million hype teams not go on to the greatness people insisted was inevitable.

8 could possibly miss but only 7 in reality - Tuohy, Bews, SDK, Parfitt, Hawkins, Guthrie, MOC, Rohan; amazing really how good our depth is and how certain players have come on. I won’t include Duncan so as not to trigger certain posters

 

[Klink]

For anyone feeling nervous about this game, Dwyane Russell has picked Brisbane. That should put you at ease.

He's been negative about us all year and continually tips against us in big games; he has jinxed Brisbane.

Go Cats!

a touch before my time Vdubs, but I appreciate that we have a handful of esteemed posters who have suffered even more than posters of my vintage!

I think the pain period was a little longer than that!
