[640MD 3,357]

Only good thing is Collingwood had to line up and cheer Selwood and the cats win!

Did the Cats take amphetamines, or did they dope the Pies with Valium?   Swab the lot of them.

Still, a long season and the Cats will tire by the late rounds. 

Lights out early last night at the nursing home.

We all hate the Pies but the death spiral of the cats…. Chefs kiss!!!

Along with a Nafan Bucks you were not a great coach.

I’m kinda fascinated in what Geelong are going to do in the next few years with their list.

Hawkins, Higgins, Smith, Selwood, Blicsavs, Danger, Thouy, Stanley, Rohan, Ceglar, Menegola, Duncan and Stewart are all over 30.

Even Cameron and Guthrie are both 29…

And the players they have coming through that look alright (not superstars):

Parfett

Ratugolea

Close

I don’t think Geelong are a destination club after last year (If Im a 25 year old free agent and I want a flag, I’m going to Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney/Bulldogs/Carltonbefore I even consider Geelong), soo do they go to the draft? With 13 senior players dropping off left right and centre of the next couple of years?

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Norf cellar dwellers again?

Bbb happy as Larry.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,357]

I think Collingwood put their watches forward an hour instead of back. 

[daisycutter 29,604]

how unfit must the filth be

bulldozered in the last qtr by the oldest team in christendom

If Chris Scott had coached Geelong in a different era he would've signed Cliff Young as a category b rookie.

Nth getting thrashed big time

[Willmoy1947 4,081]

Cats effort in last qtr was pretty good. They sent their Captain a fitting win and everyone contributed in my opinion.

Full credit to them. 

[640MD 3,357]

I hate or at the very least dislike both clubs

i don’t know whether to laugh or cry

i think I’ll have another beer. !

What are the odds of Noble going around as coach next year? Sure he doesn’t have much to work with, but he is such a vanilla and boring coach.

Geelong does still have that lifestyle card, if you consider high-class dining in Melbourne of a weeknight, with being a surfing-farmer-come-afl-footballer the rest of the time a lifestyle.

Actually, it doesn't sound too bad now that I write it down. Too bad their jumper sucks and I can't stand anyone who has ever worn it.

Oh Lord that was good. Even allowing that it was Geelong ... ahhhhhhhhhhh satisfaction. Now I hope the Pies win every game until QB.

Without wanting to reopen old wounds, North are winning general and centre clearances, while losing by 95 points....

So we draw a big crowd to our home game. Essendon failed us, so the least the Pies can do is earn us some $$$$

Some things are worth more than money. Like the filth going on a nice long losing streak. Can’t put a price on that Mazer.

The positive is the filth lost.

The negative is girlong won.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

I still maintain that Geelong are on their last breath. 
Collingwood like Carlton have come out this year playing manic footy. Manic footy is unsustainable for a whole game let alone a whole season. 
The first half showed how weak Geelong is when under pressure from the opposition. The second half showed that Collingwood will be unable to sustain pressure for 4 quarters and have no idea how to defend a lead. 
 

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Oh Norf 

[John Crow Batty 8,861]

Pies play exciting but dumb footy. They burned themselves out in the first three quarters. About the only side that will be more tired than the cats in last quarters.
