Pulp Fritschon

No bombers? Surely they are involved in this also Off field incident and no bombers involved just doesn’t happen these days.

Apologies if this has been mentioned.... How long did we actually hold pick 6 for? Was it all of 5 mins? I see it as it was - we traded Hogan for May. Freo traded pick 6 (Ben King) for Hogan. Write that one up Kane Cornes!

Yes absolute Joke. I’d love to have Essendon’s draw thus far. Anyone would think they finished 17th last year. Doing all they can for them the AFL.

The Cats started 2-3 in 2007

Good win I thought. Under massive pressure and Suns are actually quite decent. TMac injury was really challenging for us. Structure looked better just a shame we didn’t have 2 key position forwards all night. Weed did well as the only tall. Bennell is class and looked good tonight. We are desperate for his kicking skills. They kicked some flukey goals. Pleased they missed a few gettable ones. Also if you pay a down field free and the ball goes OOB the ball has to come all the way back. Umpires missed that one with the Rankine to Ellis goal in the 3rd. Commentators do struggle when they just commentate off the TV feed. Not sure why Gary gets so many Melbourne games. I’d rather he didn’t. Finally that ground is a cow paddock and not sure how it will hold up with all the extra traffic. Hope it doesn’t rain too much.

Inside 50 last week Cats 50 Suns 29. GC bubble has burst. All three wins at home against quarantined sides. Playing away again Dees by 28 Weid impressive with 3 goals and some big marks

Looks like the weather will be good for footy Dees by 39 Handgun Hannan 4 goals. Trac best on Cats to joins the Eagles and Tigers on the corona scrap heap.

The inequalities in the draw (normal season) as far as the Dees always playing at Geelong and in Tasmania when compared to other Melbourne based clubs. What does the AFL say to the club about this? What does the club say to the AFL about this?

In: Lockhart Out: Bennell Harmes to play a bit more through midfield to open up a spot for another backman to come in. Harmes could possibly tag Danger. Selwood is still the key to the Cats to me. I’d be sending Viney to him. Dees by 23

Gee wiz - hell why don't they let McKenna play on Saturday night? No close contacts deemed at a contact training session, why wouldn't that be the same for a game? Staggering really. Health official advice on this is hard to swallow given what has been said to the community. Looks like this has been done to appease the AFL which is a shame. If they were cautious as they should be they should shut the whole club should down for 14 days. Lets hope no more positive tests come from this. I am actually glad we wont be playing them for a while.

If they don’t deem all the Essendon players he had a contact training with ‘close contacts’ I would be a bit perplexed. If they say they are not isn’t it basically saying you are ok to play a game of footy if you have the virus. I am sure they train with a lot of body contact - surely they will all have to quarantine. Some powers at work here trying to minimise the damage. I wouldn’t want to be playing against them in the next month. Unless they deem playing footy is safe of course by making them all not quarantine.

Under the guise of keeping things in-house does anyone think they maybe didn’t show all the goals? Maybe Tommy and Weids both bagged 5.....

Great work by the club to organise a full scale intra club. Loved the energy from the b team after kicking goals. Looks like the best lead into the Geelong game given the circumstances. Lets hope Geelong can get on the park come Sunday.

Gee Harley looks good in that traditional jumper

Like the changes Gawn can ruck pretty much all day with the reduced quarters Lacking a 2nd tall forward might mean we will actually lower our eyes going forward. Less bombing in. Scored 4 out of our 5 first quarter goals last week from marks - one of one marks pretty much. Pleased Smith has been continued with and great to see Hannan come in

I think we need to stick with Smith. Besides from 2 errors I think he was ok. Lets see how he looks after he strings a few games together. Also think we need to get Weideman in and give him a run of games. In: Weideman, Pickett Out: ANB, Hunt (Both stiff but cant see us dropping Jones just yet) Be good to see Hannan and AVB in the side soon also.

I think you only break covid lockdown rules if you self report #honesty system

Not that I watched much of last night but it was refreshing to not hear Cameron Ling on the commentary team for a Geelong game. I do feel a little for channel 7 - most of the best media guys choose Foxtel

I believe the Bombers havent played at Geelong since 1993. Collingwood probably similar. The game has become about the money and these sort of things just go on without issue. Is what it is as they say.

Not great by Ollie, but not great by Channel 7 either. Surely they would know the rules also wouldn't they?

Ok no more stuffing around - In: Salem, Jones, AVB, Bennell, Smith, Rivers, Jackson Out: OMac, Hibberd, Spargo, Bedford, ANB, Lockhart, Brown B: Jetta, May, Lever HB: Harmes, Smith, Salem ? Tomlinson, Oliver, Langdon HF: VDB, TMac, Bennell F: Pickett, Fritsch, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Petracca, Viney INT: Brayshaw, Jones, Rivers, Jackson EMG: Lockhart, Weideman, Hannan, Sparrow Dees by 39

Preuss 4-5 weeks is annoying. I like the insurance he brings

With the industry trying to cut costs everywhere you must wonder who is paying the Cats power bill? Maybe Danger has put his hand in his pocket.

How much do we need to win by to finish on top?

Rotten luck and unrelated to other injury. Back on the park in July. Contracted for next year so no need for any tough decisions just yet. See what it looks like come September 2021.
