Can we trade Grundy for Marshall? What a gun. 

Wouldn't mind Sinclair and Steele either. Never play a poor game.

Goodbye Cats...

They looked really slow especially against Saints who move the ball quickly.

Happy for Saints fans. They’re going off. I know the joy of beating Geelong and experiencing success. 

The only sweeter feeling I've had as a fan than beating Geelong in 2021 and 2018 finals was that flag. Everything else pales in comparison.

Go well saints fans!

Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather to bid farewell to the Geelong Football Club, a team that provided endless, until now, joy to a backwards people that like two thing; pingers and surfing. With a penchant for government money and an uncanny ability to recruit absolute chards, the Cats have been a source of pain for those of us who relished in their misfortunes.

Their legacy of shattered dreams has now been renewed and long may it flourish. The way they managed to raise hopes only to let them plummet into the depths of despair was a true masterpiece of psychological torment. The Geelong Football Club served as a stark reminder that even the most seemingly formidable opponents can be brought down by hubris and Jack freaking Higgins.

Through their numerous grand final losses and heartbreaking defeats, the Cats inadvertently united their adversaries in a shared delight of witnessing their downfall. Recent history put to one side, we will always be grateful for the unforgettable moments of schadenfreude they provided us, reminding us that even the mightiest can stumble when it matters most.

So let us not mourn the demise of the Geelong Football Club, but instead celebrate the joy that this has brought to the football community, as we revel in the joy of what the Matildas have done these last few weeks, can we also shed a happy tear for a September where Chris Scott can wail and groan violently to kitchen staff as his Tex Mex takes just that little bit too long on his stop in Dallas as he tours international clubs looking for someone who wants to talk to him.

May this legacy be one of humility and a testament to the shared humanity and grace of those that only go over the Westgate to get to the Hume the other way when it’s bonkers up at the ring road.

Enjoy your September off Geelong. The players won't know what to do  with the extra time off 

Surf, farm, apply for government grants?

Anyone still think our 2022 as a defending premier was underwhelming?

Compare that performance to the Tigers' 2021 and Geelong's 2023 and you see how hard it is.

Just switched to Adelaide v South Melbourne.  Commentary far worse than the Cat v Saints.  Just awful.  Derwaynnne cannot stop stating the bleeding obvious.

Geelong list manager: you’re on your own now Chris, I’ve done all I can

Chris Scott: but when I look back as far as 2011, all I see is one set of footprints

Geelong list manager: Yes Chris, that’s how long I’ve been [censored] carrying you

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
