Chook

I hope so, because they sure as hell damaged mine over the past 14 years.

Danger is absolutely stinking it up. He was the difference in the 2nd against us. Either he's injured or he's past it.

Port are just not worried at all about approaching cats tacklers. They know they can just sidestep them because every cat has a bootful of treacle.

I have never seen a player drop the footy more than Blicavs, and he never gets pinged for it.

Don't you just love watching real nuffies at a footy game for a change? It's a beautiful thing.

The 5 minute patch from Geelong last week might have actually papered over some serious cracks. Take that out and they've basically not scored in 6 quarters.

You bewdy. Port going into beast mode right now. Cats need a nap.

RIP cats. R7,2007-R23,2021.

Real question: can you take advantage from a 50?

At least BT no longer refers to the "Twitter machine" like he did in 2015.

Aliir's dominance is a lot due to Geelong's poor gameplan and midfield performance. Chip chip chip, pressured kick high into the air, Aliir mark. Not a great plan.

That's underselling him. Consider Majak Daw or Sam Frost (athletes). Aliir craps all over him in terms of football intelligence.

At least 2 goals to Port direct from Aliir intercepts. Geelong need to keep it well away from Aliir or else they have no chance.

Aliir is the best intercept defender in the comp. Lever's numbers are better, and his ability to help set up is better, but we base our entire gameplan on that aspect of the game. Aliir does it in spite of Ken Hinkley having no idea how to use him.

Aliir showing what happens when you don't drop intercept marks in the backline. 1st and 2nd quarter dees last week had a lot of trouble because of dropped intercept marks.

But James Brayshaw just informed us it's a great game so far. Could he be…wrong?

With that adjudication of dangerous tackle (protected him beautifully), Hawkins is in a bit of trouble. Oh wait he plays for Geelong.

It would be the sweetest of sweet wins though surely to get over that mob on the last day. Beating Port, hey it's a premiership. But beating the cats. My god. I don't think I'd ever come down.

Clear throw by Selwood. Should override a high free, as even trying to throw is cheating.

Just barely got over a Melbourne-2004 death spiral Dogs last week. Dees and Cats are miles ahead I reckon. If we can get over the Lions tomorrow night, I'd be shocked if we don't get a Dees Cats granny.

The players are going to love a crowd after most of them going so many weeks without one. Give me a crowd any day over an empty MCG in the finals.

Barracking is for the home and away season. I just want a quality game. The finals deserve it. Melbourne games excluded of course, they can be as poor as they want as a spectacle as long as we win.

This sounds quite accurate to me

I wouldn’t say it’s utterly ridiculous he has to abide by state COVID regulations, but it’s not like he went shopping for faberge eggs and gold plated tiaras.
