Fritzel has a very punchable head, but other than that they're a very watchable side. Class everywhere.

 

On behalf of Fritsch, I take exception to this comment.

Bailey's head has the best hair in the AFl and is in no way punchable.

I'ver personally copped some arrogant condescending remarks from too many Cats supporters over the past decade. Revenge is sweet, they'll be crying into their handbags now.

(never mind that it's a photo of a beach bag...you get the drift)

"I don't think Gawn scares Stanley either"

The dumbest comment i've read from an opposition supporter all year

I just watched the replay, and decided at one point to watch the Cats rather than the Dees. Very difficult, but I just wanted to understand how so many really quality players could play so poorly.

They were atrocious. I mean MFC Mark Neeld bad. Dangerfield was very good, and at least Selwood was getting to contests and gut running. But the rest of the team were as bad defensively as Gold Coast at their worst. In particular:

• Giving Kozzie so much room on so many occasions - he ran through forward stoppages unmanned time after time after time.
• Very rare for them to put a third man up to spoil our marking forwards.
• Sparrow so often left unmarked, unchecked running through stoppages and around the ground like a 19th player.
• Total lack of defensive pressure around stoppages. How many time did Trac and Clarry run forward of a stoppage with no-one within 3 metres?
• Why didn't they tell Stanley of Esava to run with Gawn? Ridiculous game awareness.
• And you know that modern thing when a player disposes of the ball and then gets run into so he can't get to the next play? They rarely did it. Viney ran to contest after contest with no-one checking his run.
• And that marking "contest" between Langdon and Menegola in the last quarter - total embarrassment for Menegola. Summed up Geelong on the night. 

They have more than age to worry about if guns like Selwood and Dangerfield can play so well and the rest of the team can't fire up.

Yes Kudos to Dangerfield, he gave it absolutely everything. 
He must be filthy on so many of his teammates 

look at Gary Rohan’s Telstra Tracker at halftime. 
He stood still for an hour!!!

Gary Rohan miserable game Karma bus hits hard

My most concerning point from your post is it seems you have only watched the replay once.

He'd pat himself on the back wouldn't he? The rise began with his coaching tenure. 🤮

Replay once.

3rd quarter twice

Geelong focus once. I think I need a break from it now.

I know some will have different opinions on cat supporters but reading their forum on bigfooty they've taken the defeat with grace. 

This comment stood out to me.

We’ve just been beaten by the team that will probably win the next 2 or 3 flags so can’t be too upset.

We are now being respected by opposition supporters.

Beavis disagrees with you.

Gee are they giving Gary Rohan a bake on Big Footy talking about his 25 possesions in 5 finals and 1 Goal!

[monoccular 17,431]

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere

Seriously, where do they go now?  Rebuild from the draft (finishing 3rd or 4th)?  Surely no more “topping up”.  How long will Selwood be able to go on with his cheating ducking and throwing?  Dangerfield? Hawkins? Cameron? Rowan?

By far the worst ranga on the field. Let all of us down.

Far out you'd be a decent chance of racking those numbers up starting as medi-sub for 5 games!

Yep, most of them on BF are respectful.

There are some though that insult us, though that would be the same for any other club. The thing is, the insult that we're copping (we tanked and/or got gifted draft picks to spark our ascent up the ladder) is just not true.

We don't have any of our high draft picks from 2007-09 playing in this side. We barely have anyone from that area playing in this side. And a fair stack of the players we have in our side have come to the club in the last three years (i.e. when we've been building our list like a professional sports club), and/or been selected in in Rounds 2+ in the draft, and/or been traded in (again, smart list development).

People who attack us for anything tanking/draft pick related are just numpties.

Cameron ling said today on the abc he no longer trusts rohan in finals. H and A form now means nothing. Should not be played in future.

His words not mine. Lingy rarely critical of anthong geelong wise too.

Old Lingy shouldn’t trust anyone from Geelong ever again, the story about his leasing the Cunningham Pier from The golden boy Frank Costa is brutal. He had to sell the house to cover his debts.

Thanks @Sir Why You Little, that one was doing the rounds last night and before I read this thread I'd posted it in another thread; wasn't trying to steal your thunder.

I notice that now the edit function on that Wikipedia page has been locked 🤣
