Blatant in the back.

Can’t see us winning this - cats just need to click for 5 mins and we are done.

That was a seriously good mark.

Tom Stewart. Stand up guy. What a [censored].

Where as that umpire call last year.

On you Smitty.

You can just see how this ground provides an advantage. Geelong can play it exceptionally well.

At least try a dart..

We are so predictable in defence.

We are so predictable in defence.

The width of this ground is shockingly narrow.

This has to have rattled the Cats. We need to respond immediately.

I wonder whether he has retweaked it - looks like we will find out one way or another tomorrow. Best case is it’s just tightness. I can’t recall but there were suggestions there was potentially some tendon involved initially - were these true ?

Oliver’s sent for my scans on his hammy according to Sam Edmund. It’s precautionary apparently.

Tikanis Gala?

Have we heard why still no Oliver? Is it just fitness based or is it something else? The lack of news is really frustrating

This is such a fantastic achievement. I have a colleague that helps out with the Big Freeze organisation and I was quite sad to learn that this awful disease gets very little attention on the global scale.

You are such a party pooper.

Fun fact. Difference between Port and Melbourne is 10 goals , which is more than the accumulated margin of the games we have lost this year - 49 pts. But noooooo…. Umpires don’t impact games.

Any details emerging from the training session today? Presumably it was a closed session? Ive seen a few pictures on Facebook but nothing more.

And their other mids (Daicos bro's, Pendles) were clearly not 100%. If we meet in Sept and both lists are at full health and are in form, it will be hard to split them. Ultimately we have a harder game style to play against and relies on turnover to score (good for finals) and fewer components that must go right. Pies style is high risk, but also relies on high skill. Something that tends to fall apart when nervy and subject to high pressure.

Pick 40 was the ultimate ruling matching academy players, but it was a gradual transition from no rule, to Pick 20+ to then Pick 40+. I thought it was a league wide ruling - which is shocking if it is not.

If GWS finish higher than Freo, we have full control as we can use it to snare Curtain and hence get WCE to deal with us exclusively. GWS are in a position to push for finals, and Freo have a much tougher draw so it is likely the outcome.

I thought academy players were only from Pick 20? Didnt we miss out Mac Andrew as a result of this?

It’s Norf. Do it against a top 8 side and I’ll take note. I’m also of the view that Kosi is in some horrible form. If he has another stinker he has to be dropped.
