Listening to Chris Salt being so bullish about the cats future last night had me checking the ages of dads army.

Apart from the retiring Hawkins and Tuohy they still have a lot of players nearing the end.

Stanley 34
Cameron 31 (32 start of season)
Bews 31
Rohan 33
Guthrie 32
Atkins 29
Duncan 33
Dangerflop 34
Stewart 31 (32 at start of season)
Blicavs 33 (34 at start of season)

4 of them spend a lot of time in the midfield.
Some of those old timers will be put out to pasture but it's all enough to give you the runs.

Honestly thought half those blokes were already retired 😱

For God’s sake, the amount of excuses they come up with, gastro, Covid etc. Oh please!!! No mention of the obvious one. THEY JUST WEREN’T GOOD ENOUGH!

Cats couldn’t have been more blessed in 2024. Got a woeful Port in week 1 of finals. Were full strength other than Guthrie. Faced a Lions team who’d played 2 finals missing 5 players with ACL’s, then lost their gun ruck early in the game. Cats hadn’t lost to Lions in Melbourne since 2004.

But but but … unlucky because Holmes was injured …..

i'm backing in fitzroy to beat south melbourne
Wouldn't it be great if one of them used the GF as one of those rare occasions when they put on their entity's original (South Melbourne) or merged original (Fitzroy) guernsey.

I know, I know. As likely as Chris Scott praising the opposition after blowing another prelim.

Don’t forget about getting kissed on the bell end with a favourable fixture. Something they should never have got

Who did we get for double ups
Port (bogey team)
Carlton (afl and media darlings)
st dildo (no maddies match tho)
dockers (rapidly improving team at the time)
gold campaigners (dimma thing meant they were supposed to be rapidly improving)
hawthorn (the biggest improvers of them all)

All these things being known at the time the fixture was scatted together. We couldn’t have hoped for a kind draw but at least they could have given us a double up against someone like the druggos.
We’ll get double ups next year against swans lions dogs hawks and one of norf or eagles just to make it fair
