Inspirational Cats!!

Featured Replies

No, not a troll, I have had the same admiration over the pies for the last 3-4 years.

Just don't really feel the need to express my feelings (like some of the posters) for another club on a public MFC forum.

They beat us by 186 points and laughed.

The players are losing the soft label this year, so maybe it's rubbing off onto the supporters?

And do you think we wouldn't be laughing if we beat the Cats by 186 point?

The fact is that much of this discussion relates to the fact that what was seen in the Cats performance is what many of us would love to see in the Dees... a bit of fight and a never-say-die attitude. It is hardly soft to discuss their superb effort and how we could take a leaf out of their book (your "handbag loving" comment was very odd when you consider how hard they went into each contest)... and many on these forums appreciate good footy, not just the MFC.

A friend told me this morning that G. Ablett flew to the U.S during last year's grand final because he couldn't bear to watch Geelong playing. Does anyone else have any memories of this?

It was in the newspaper today, but I had no knowledge of it at the time.

Not sure if it's still there, but this inspirational cat was randomly featured in the official Dees vs West coast gallery on the afl website.

Watching the rd 6 1993 bombers v cats game on chooseday night footy on fox. Talk about raining goals!

One Mark Neeld running around in it as well.

But this is a very difficult point for some around here to understand. The "names" are largely irrelevant its how good your structures & development is ..

Yeah, imagine how much they would have won by if Bartel and Selwood had played good games.

Every time Geelong and Hawthorn used the centre corridor I cried.

Problem is you have to have the footskills to pull off the Geelong gameplan. The reason Neeld is forced to start with kick it long to a contest, force it out of bounds and hopefully win the next clearance gameplan is exactly that reason, we have poor skills. Every team would like to emulate Geelong or the Hawks, but few have the skills.

Are you sure about that? I don't think his footy philosophy is a centre-corridor attacking plan.

Caroline Wilson said this on Footy Classified on Monday when she was talking of Ablett having made a big mistake by going to Gold Coast .

Yes , she said , he can sit and count his money , but he now has regrets , particularly watching Geelong play without being there himself .

I love watching this team. Stevie J, Selwood, Menzel last year just amazing players.

I admire them more than anything. They gave us what we deserved last year.

If we can be half as good as them one day, we'll be ok.

Yip - I love watching Stevie J & Bartel - Selwood is a dead-set inspiration and I enjoy watching a few of the "lesser lights" Corey, Enright & Kelly.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
