Game Day Rd 7 Geelong V Carlton Sat April 27 435 pm @ MCG

[Play it Sam]

Not subtle with Mannagh... Keep it that way please.

Love Shaun. Standing by, can't wait to share the tea if it comes my way.

 

[D BRIDGE]

It's time for our VFL game.

We are not forecasting any late changes because all our emergency players are playing.

Still will keep an eye out to see if one of them are put on ice just as a precaution.

And people were calling Ports post about Butters 100 games cringe.

Two grown giants photo-shopped into a bunk is cringe.
At least Cats are on top. Omen.

 

[Cataholic]

Really looking forward to this game.

Will be a good test for our structure, composure and fitness.

I have 3/4s of a Robbie cd - it was back in the early days of the iPod etc, and record companies blocked CDs from being able to be fully ripped to a computer... So you couldn't copy the first couple of songs

I was making mix CDs for friends, and Robbie was one artist we were utilising - I've kept it since


But I've never had a real interest in going to a concert of his, but after that performance I did think about his Day on the Green concert as he was the ultimate showman

Was this in the days of Napster and Limewire? I grabbed plenty of full albums off of those sources. Still got my iPod too, although the forward button doesn't work anymore and I'm lucky if the charge lasts a day!

6 seconds of footy since 22/4/2023 what could possibly go wrong? I was an advocate for some VFL game time still am but in this case I'd also love to be proved wrong.

This is exactly how I feel. I have my doubts but would love to be proven wrong. Maybe Zach can bring his brother back into the game!

I like it

Our social media team have had some fun with their match day posts this season, and they aren't trying to be GWS - they seem to have worked out their own style and it's based around that weeks milestone player

Yeah but GWS is elite for a reason.
I liked ports post last night more than the Dekoning one
But social media for our team has improved dramatically

None of the Blues emergencies playing VFL.
All of our emergencies playing VFL.

I won't complain if they pull a couple of late outs.

 

[Cosmic Energy]

Watching the Blues a bit I do feel they have all the goods to win the flag if they get close enough to full strength. But their injuries currently are a problem and likely to influence this game.

Up forward you need that goal kicking spread along with the bigs, no Martin (who I rate very highly but just cannot stay on the field), no Motlop and no Fog (from a pressure perspective) leaves that area lacking. Even missing Silvagni who’s probably no longer best 22 but was 6th in their goal kicking last year.

No Saad & McGovern up the other end, and no Cerra. Feels like a pretty good time to be getting them even with Stewie out.

Looking forward to seeing how Bruhn goes against this midfield, in front of a huge crowd. Hopefully Parf can continue his good form.

Heading along so really looking forward to it!

Great short summary of the Blues.

Was this in the days of Napster and Limewire?

I used Frostwire, mainly because a guy at work used Limewire on his work laptop and ended up with a whole swag of viruses, malware etc. on it.
According to google both Limewire and Frostwire are still a thing!

Still use my iPod every now and again. I think I have an old 2nd generation iPod in a drawer somewhere.

Sorry - off topic!

 

[Vdubs]

I'm bullish on the Cats today Carlton so far haven't done a lot to justify the hype they are receiving from the media IMO 1 and 5 point wins over Lions and Tigers respectively who both started the season poorly easy win against North accounts for little 10 point win over Freo followed by a loss to the Crows their one sold win was last week against GWS.
Nothing above says they are any better than the Cats.Kick straight start well we win

That's enough to be a factor , as Swans and GWS seem to be the teams to beat, despite our 6-0 start.
But as many said, our next 7 will paint a much clearer picture of our chances this year.
A loss today is not a disaster; clearly a win against Carlton is highly desirable, as they too are a top 4 contender

Well if max holmes is a livewire I'm sure whoever Carlton took with an approximate pick on that draft is a lime wire so not entirely off topic.

The game of the round. Get it done catters

Robbie was entertainment at the 2022 grand final - it'll be connected to that

Yes, that’s why I said

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Robbie Williams and Meatloaf. Both sensational.

I’ll always remember Lonergan sneaking up the race to see Meatloaf.
Meanwhile, I went downstairs to have a gasper + was kidnapped by Pies’s fans, who forced Longbeach ciggies + VB onto me. One Collingwood lady said they love Geelong supporters because we’re so friendly. All I could think was: ‘Yes! Because we’re terrified of you!’
Pies’ fans in Sydney are petrifying!
Had a terrific half-time with them + missed Meatloaf.

 

[Finknottle]

Nice 101 point win by the Cats VFL side

 

[cats_09]

 

[standupand]

I was never a big Robbie Williams fan but it's impossible to not have the positive association forever after that day.

True. I was never a big fan of Sheppard and I now I feel even more sick whenever I hear any of their songs because it was half time entertainment at the 2020 GF.

It’s adorable
Reckon PR/SM people are producing some terrific promotions.
Miers + Austin Powers ‘Who throws a shoe?’ was fantastic.

Probably my puerile sense of humour, extremely asinine

Carry on!

With two packets of Tim Tams on the side

Who do we think will start as the sub?
