[cats_09]

Neale and Hawkins at the same age. Guess whose stats are whose.

I know but that's because I posted it above

Hah great minds think alike.

But yeah, Neale's tracking fine.

 

[allrighty]

From 2007 to 2022,
Our record the week after playing in Perth was 21 wins 0 losses.

Also,
No team has won the flag from 4th under the current finals system.
We've never beaten Sydney in a final in NSW.
We've never beaten Port in a final in SA.

Not saying we can't win the flag but we're definitely up against it now, and we'll have to do it the hard way.

Time for a change then

Every day is a day closer to each of those "hoodoos" being broken.

 

[Strange Cat]

Had a day off BF to calm down abit , but dissapointed in the manner of the loss with hopefully better form next week

Still the kids gets final exposure which is the main thing and who knows what will happen with the year it has been …I wouldn’t be putting any money on it being a successful final series if I was being honest

Exactly

If we want a different comparison, here's Neale at the same age as our current #26 - he seems to be developing pretty well is #33

If the Cats had dispatched the Saints with some ruthless efficiency, I would have thought we were a chance for the flag. But the way they capitulated in the second half has me thinking we'll be out in straight sets.

such is this season

 

[crocsta]

I’m almost done with Rohan and Henry.

Could 2E play a third leading forward?

we need some elite forward entries, every quarter
Duncan, CGuthrie, Smith sufficed in previous years; we are bereft of that supply now.

 

[Burro]

It's not possible that they'd force an interstate team to play a home final at the MCG

They would force Geelong to play at the MCG. AFL has a contract and a game must be played there. It would be so funny to see it happen.

 

[Mr Meow]

Eagles look ok at present

Perhaps not.

Like REALLY not.

Carlton about to record a win against the odds at Optus Stadium. They have 6 to 8 of their best out injured including Charlie Curnow

. They will play St Kilda at Marvel stadium next week and I expect Carlton to do whatever it takes to get over the line.

great to see. can't stand them; hope they are utterly flat for next week

We struggle to put teams away this year but if West Coast can outdo themselves and serve up their worst performance of the year, PERHAPS we can bury them by 20 goals. But we seriously need them to roll over even worse than today.

Yes, I can see bombing the ball to Tuohy against two tall defenders really turning this ship around.

 

[supahoops]

No Mullin, No O. Henry for finals please and thank you.

One has no clue, one is the softest front runner I've seen pull on the hoops this century.

I’d take them over Rohan & Duncan

 

[STPer18]

We beat Eagles and we lock in top 4, nice and simple. Considering how topsy-turvy this season has been for just about every team we've done well enough to be in a position where we can lock away a double chance without relying on any other results. If you offered that to any team at the start of the season they'd bite your hand off - just get it done now.

They will lose to the saints unless curnow plays (hence i expect them to jab him up and play him).

Mullin and knevitt out sdk and bruhn in.
Tuohy or rohan sub possibly.

We’re desperate as there’s no point watching Rohan get 3 kicks and Henry’s opponent making it 15 times in a game.

2E doesn’t currently have a role. He might make a decent lead, or at least compete against his direct opponent.

The cupboard is bare in VFL to replace Henry and Rohan. Foster? Willis?

What? Those kids wont play this year.

In the event we dropped both rohan and henry (unlikely) we would just play cameron, neale,the 4smalls plus dempsey as a roaming hybrid. We dont need an extra '3rd tall'. We would be better off with an extra mid instead.

Henry isn’t getting dropped. They should stop bombing it on his head though.

Positive that isn't a thing anymore
Only GF at MCG is a lock ..

Most likely to trip up… as we did?

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Unfortunately you are right.
We haven’t really got a replacement.
Here’s a thought
Maybe he could find some space as an option.
Or he could outmuscle outmanoeuvre are another 2?
He seems to like taking speckies. Maybe he could take a few?
Either way he’s gotta find something to give me a little hope.
