Not sure they’re good enough to win a flag, so need to make sure they’re blooding young guys for the next go. Nothing drastic, but if they keep having one last roll of the dice they’ll end up like eagles

Hard to know what to take from our last couple of losses - in some ways we should have won both, in other ways we could have been beaten by more. A lot of the indicators of the game are in our favour. Inside 50s, marks inside 50 etc but at the end of the day you can’t beat good sides - and fremantle are a good side - when you kick one goal in an hour of footy.
surprise surprise… pretenders again

2020 at latest was their last roll mate. Won't challenge Melbourne and several other sides have already gone past them.

eh? the AFL haven't bought in any rules this year to counteract the Cats gamestyle? Don't see the similarity.

Are we really the story out of that? We are what we are, but Freo look very nice.
Errr I meant in terms of results and thus end of year ladder position!

Pull your head in, we've achieved nothing yet.
We have to play melb in melb at full strength whilst we have have our 5 best players out b4 we can even think about being serious!

Doubtful- everyone went on and on about us because of Geelong obsessions, but it’s actually west coast who hasn’t done anything about it’s list-just a bunch of old players left-the good players-all old. Geelong are going along fine. Future is looking ok.

Geelong are Geelong, a benchmark club. It was a test for us, which we passed so I'm pleased with our progress.

Aaaaah its the rules that have made you S;';';, ....gotcha
Yep-your team is well coached, well- drilled. They look good. I was impressed with how they all looked like they knew exactly what they were doing.
So plenty to like and you should be enjoying watching them play. Pretty pleasing progress under Longmuir, who clearly knows what he is doing.
Geelong is finally done and dusted, they will have to undergo a bigger rebuild than the Demons of 2012 and 13. Too old too slow and not good enough with the team they've got. The problem is the much-lauded recruiting team has produced stuff all in recent years, it's going to be a very difficult next few seasons...

Some of the looks on the Cat players seemed to suggest more than just disappointment at a close loss, but I'm not ready to call time on them yet.

Clearly hasn't helped us mate....... whatever it is your talking about
What did the looks on the cats players suggest to you (beyond disappointment)?

Midfield is not much chop anymore, we're certainly on the decline. I expect us to be a middle of the road team at most this year.
It's more than just the midfield.
This coach is obsessed in playing old blokes who are past their use by date.
There is nothing but B and C graders coming through. Geelong are in a lot of trouble unless they can strike some A graders very soon.
