Corey really stood up all night. His last qtr was fantastic. Senior Cats stood up in the last.
Menzel looks a star in the making.

meh, the result of this game had little to no actual relevence to the year. Cats had something to prove tonight, Pies did not. I think this showed through pretty clearly in the level of determination both sides showed. Cats should have won by more if they could kick straight...more clearly though Pies should have won if the umpire didn't decide to change the rule that players now decide when it's advantage. Essentially we got punished for Ottens hitting Wood high.

it's only round 8. We beat Colonwood last year in round 9 and then they smashed us later in the year. So while it was a good win for us the Pies will bounce back to their arse kicking best in no time.

Full credits to the Cats by the way, exploited the umpires and won the game, at the end of the day winning is all that matters.

Come on mate, this is the main board...
Because Geelong were heavily favoured in the umpring department in the first quarter. Started to work against them later but not enough. Then in the last quarter Collingwood were hard done and it wasn't just the Pendels disallowed goal.
I would say that not having Maxwell and Jolly out hurt more than Geelong's outs.

The Bye didn't hurt us. You must be soft.
I apologise for not using the relevant smiley...

Just loved the chant 'CCoooolllllliiiinnnnggggwwwwoooooddd" with 10 minutes to go in the last quarter and then Geelong came back and smashed them. Sometimes the Collingwood crowd actually works against them. great to see it though.
Well done "GGGGeeeeelllllloooooonnnnnnngggg"
Well done "GGGGeeeeelllllloooooonnnnnnngggg"
Whistle blows as the tap is about to happen, 90% of players look to see who its for while pendlebury walks through 4 players and slots a goal.
Shouldn't be too hard to work out even for a collingwood fan.

So clever...I bet you're handsome too
Anyway, maybe an explanation from someone else as to why a whistle going at a ruck contest differs from anywhere else on the ground

They can be the best team in May
We had at least 4 of our best 22 out + several playing very underdone. The weather conditions also slowed the game down which worked significantly to Geelongs advantage; cant see them coping with our talls and runners on a dry day tbh.
All in all Geelong were clearly the best side on the night however I'd expect at least the same result as last years prelim final when we come up against them next time.
Finally, can any Geelong supporter explain how Hawkins is still getting a game. He surely wouldnt be playing senior footy for any other side in the afl.
Interesting observation.
To me the result almost incidental (although happy with the win obviously). Cats get a lot out of this game because shows the tweaked game plan stand up when last year it didn't. Proves we can now match Collingwood.
Upside is great for Cats.
Already i've heard a handful of collingwood supporters use this excuse. The play had clearly stopped, it wasn't a proper play on situation... If that goal had of stood it would have been a joke.
If we had of kicked straight in the 1st quater, the game would have been ugly for the pies.

Cats are clearly the best team at the moment.
Look at the ladder.
They just beat the side which 14 days ago were "the benchmark" of the competition.
And they deserved it.
Great game to watch though even though it was low scoring.
Many interesting rounds to go.
Go Pies.

Someone uses logic and you decide to talk gibberish?
The answer is simple, all Ruck frees are paid during the flight of the ball making them stop which in effect means there is no ruck contest aka a stop in play.
The difference is play is still yet to begin when the free is payed.
Fair point but we'll take it
Would have thought the conversion percentage would indicate that it affected Geelong as much as the Pies
Hawkins still demands a reasonable defender up forward and in the brave new world of substitutes he is a better ruck option than Blake.
Guys who weren't in the side that could keep him out are Mooney (playing like he's gone one year too long), West and Simpson. Clearly the latter two are behind him at present. He's a decent contest around the ground a developing into a decent ruck.
Could be wrong but did the umpire blow time on pretty much immediately?

That comment just shows your ignorance of his importance, but it is no excuse.Geelong harder at it all night, 21 more tackles.
Johnson, lulz.
We should be able to win regardless of who's in or out.
Really you could put at least half your list in the lulz category, that's if you never bother watching a Melbourne game.
