Dare I get excited about not making the trip to Mordor in 2022? *not that I think we wouldn’t win

Might have to watch cellar dwellers Hawks play Pies

I heard late in the season someone at the club say his shoulders were fine this year which was why he was marking above his head. So potentially just wear and tear on the big bull

Driven blokes like T Mac and Viney have plenty of mates now. good to see everyone is fit and doesn’t need time off legs. I like the idea, maintain fitness rather than have to get it back. Train hard now and have a good break over Xmas im expecting a more impressive H&A season next year. With some smashings

Hore is unlucky. Very good mark and kick and good insurance for Lever. Injuries killed his chances would be a worthy rookie pick up

Round 1 after winning the flag is big enough without needing the dogs as an opponent. I don't give a rats who we play actually, once I am there!

Yeah true was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment re Scully

Horne-Francis is the most universally agreed Number 1 pick since Scully

It has been reported a couple of times that he’ll get a one year deal. Not sure what the hold up is. Maybe some manager negotiations?

Doesn’t apply to Jackson, Bowey, Rivers, Kozzi though 🙂

Trac always looked like he had star potential. McCartin was just a big kid who could outmark other kids. He never had the athletic potential to be a star. A good fwd at best imo. a terrible error. Saints would be a different team with Trac in it

Hey, let's not limit this just to the Cats, how about our old friends the Hawks?? Check out the BnF results. some lean years ahead and not much youth coming through. with hardly any picks in the draft, and no trades done, 2022 will be a wasted year Hawthorn Hawks: Peter Crimmins Medal Tom Mitchell (161 votes) Blake Hardwick (126) Jaeger O'Meara (121) Dylan Moore (101) Chad Wingard (100) Sam Frost (95) Daniel Howe (83) Changkuoth Jiath (79)

Well JJ never got on the park so is he really a premiership player? No disrespect meant, I just find it ridiculous you get credited with a game when you don’t play in it

go on a Cats fans forum and you'll see how happy they are. top 4, 9 out of 10 years for 1 GF and flags is chronic finals failure obviously its a lot more successful than we have been but I would not be happy with almost getting there. it is not the aim I'd prefer the dogs record over the past 10 years over the Cats. Top 4 finishes = zero. 2 GFs, 1 flag

a lot of average players moving around. worst trade period in years. Pies and Hawks etc stuck with average lists

Oh right, didn’t realise that was the other offer. You’d certainly take that if you’re the Cats

Hilarious that Clark is holding the Cats accountable for his poor development and making the move to Freo happen. Geelong will get shafted by Freo and I am loving it.

Geelong are showing zero interest in their team's mid-long term success. The board, FD and coaches are belligerently determined to get a flag out of their old heroes to the detriment of the whole club! I've never seen a club do this to this extent, maybe the Saints of 2011-12 but you could kind of understand this given their flag drought. Scott's pride and arrogance is going to leave the Cats on their knees for a decade. These days you cannot build a list via trade, just look at the players available this year. The irony is, if they have of used a few high draft picks over the past 5-6 years rather than trading for Dahlhaus/Higgins etc they would have a much better chance of winning a flag in 2022.

Dawson for pick 18 is an absolute steal! Swans should have held out for a second rounder in addition. just because it is technically a first rounder doesn't mean much

What a great time to be top with young list! with salary cap squeeze and not many players available teams are not able to fill their gaps we didn't need anyone but we still got a decent mid depth player it is hard to fathom the change in the past 8 years

O'Meara is a quality player but we don't have room for him. He has never played in a good side so I don't think people realise how good he is. Other teams in the comp should be going hard for him such as Freo.

I see the point you are making but as a Victorian the above sounds wonderful right now

This time last year we barely had a vaccine! We should be 80% in a few weeks so calm the farm mate

Horrible trade by the hawks. Burton is an excellent defender with very good kicking skills. wingard is a decent player. Had good years at Port but he tries when he wants to now

A pun so bad, the mods changed the title ouch! 😂
