No PFD
No Tomma today.
No Guthrie

Take that every day of the week.

2nd on the ladder lol. Thought we were cooked.... not really!

Cos started today and showed a flash or two.
Neale comes in and gets 3. Nude and firm. Toot Toot!
Jezza gets 6.
Stengle, Close Miers all very good. Close got 4. Holmes good too.

Bowes, Miers, Bruhn, MOC, Atkins, Stewy, Parf all good.

Rhys 200 games and was decent too.

2E very quiet really.
Blitz subbed out but more management than anything it seems

Got in front and stayed there.

Great team effort and good work with the coaches.

No injuries. Take the 4 points and % boost.

Great day

GO Catters

Imagining dazbroncos typing Review thread sans pants + avec an extra digit

 

[allrighty]

Could not watch but appreciated following the comments.

Great win by the Club, there'll be lots of salt out there and at AFL House cos they are all sick of us.

 

[Strange Cat]

The real question is if dazbroncos blood flow has returned to normal and he is wearing pants

Good to be undefeated after being written off …again….last year

Big win, no injuries, time into youngsters. Great day all round. Move on to next week.

 

[smotherking]

Not much to dislike about today! Loved some of the work of the young midfield. Really quite a positive seeing so many youngsters contributing strongly. Bodes well!

 

[cats_09]

There's some things this club does really well

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Happy to be 5-0 and 2nd on the ladder.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

As an aside, that Eddie Ford kid sums up everything that's wrong with Norf at the moment.

You're 80 points down and telling a champion of the game in Mitch Duncan how good you're going. Cornes called it out last year, it's laughable.

It's a team of individuals, they won't win anything until they realise that winning and getting 10 touches is better than losing but kicking 3.

Wouldn't last a day at Geelong with that attitude.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Might have just been the K Rock audio but that was the most subdued singing of the club song I've ever heard!

 

[Strange Cat]

O Sullivan looks popular…geez his height really creeps on your untill you see him standing next to SDK

 

[small 4wards]

Parfitt doubters in shambles

Parfitt doubters in shambles

Spare a thought to all the doubters last year that kept telling us that the cliff was here and we had no youth

Shambles indeed

 

[calder_daddy]

An absolute bore to watch on TV and I loved an easy bruise free win.
No injuries, everyone played well.

All this and next week we will have back.

Hawkins, Dangerfield and Kolo

 

[Strange Cat]

Already a lot of whining on the main board the salt is real

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

That was nice and all, but the next four weeks are going to tell us where the Cats are really at. I do think Norf has a list it can build on, and showed a few signs that they're on the right path. If they can beat the Hawks next week that will be a good sign. But, we can't get too carried away with the win today because it was just too easy to be of any value (other than percentage). 5-0 is a great start to the season, though. Go Cats.

Nice win.

Not gonna get carried away because the team we played are a steaming pile of manure.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Just did what we had to do with precision. A very professional performance.

Jez & Stewart superb as always, but it's the kids and lesser lights that are the real story for mine.

Kudos to Brandan Parfitt

. I've been hard on him, but he's clearly worked his arse off all summer to get fit and it's paying dividends. So many of his efforts won't get on the stats sheet, but the coaches and supporters see how hard he's working.

is having the career renaissance we thought he'd have last year. Took a little while to learn the system, but we're quickly molding him into a gun. Must stay in the midfield.

Neale was brilliant IMO. Got the late call up, and it didn't bother him. Just went about his business and showed he's got what it takes.

He's still learning, but he's got all the tools to be a very special player, while Holmes continues his rise to becoming an elite player of the competition.

Holmes, Dempsey, Henry, Neale, SDK, COS, Clark, Bruhn to go with Zuthrie, Atkins, Bowes, Miers, Stengle, Close, & Jack Henry

That's the bulk of our side, and they've all been super to start the season. Anyone who thinks we're too old is kidding themselves.

It's no longer about pinching a flag with an ageing group for us. It's about setting this young core up with another couple players to start another dynasty down the line.

Geelong yet again breaking the mold, looking to win the premiership in a rebuilding year.

We're all so lucky, there's not a single club that would be better to support.

 

[Play it Sam]

Great day at the office.
That's wins for all the milestone boys so far.
Have we got any more coming up?

 

[Strange Cat]

Just on Neale (don’t ban me Daz) he’s still young and learning but I find that he has some trouble falling back into space wi th his defensive work

Still encouraging signs today

 

[D BRIDGE]

Neale was brilliant IMO. Got the late call up, and it didn't bother him. Just went about his business and showed he's got what it takes

He was a late in… but there’s no way he didn’t know he was playing all week.

Showed some good signs.

I’ll take it.

Forget last year, David King is still doing it!!
