Carlton by 105 in 2004.

You are the one who made it personal.

Get over it petal.

Nice of you to recognise the fact Cpt. Negative.

Fair enough, now that it's over, did we match the tone of the round ?

Fair call jnrmac.

You mention GWS running tha Cats all the way for any reason ?

Didn't we run Port all the way in Alice ?

Roos has made it clear that several players are on their last chances over the remainder of the season therefore there is little point in making Tapscott the sub. Last chance for Luke I reckon.

Exactly, when the Lions were at the peak of their power, I witnessed the game when we came from 40 points down in the second to over run Brisbane by 21 points. Neitz 7 Ward 4. My comments were based on the earlier remark that it's never us that wins when unexpected.

That is not so. In round 14,1998 we visited Subiaco as complete underdogs and rolled the Eagles by 17 points with Robbo BOG. Entering round 10, 2012 We were last and Essendon on top yet we won by 6 poionts. There are other examples. Yes we are going through a diobolical period but to suggest we have a long history of weakness is simply incorrect.

Round 17,2010 - Dees 22.10.142 Swans 10.9.69. Brad Green dominated up forward with 5. Only 8 players from that performance remain on our list.

LJ just like AJ teased us with their enormous talent for all too brief a period.

In any event Tim it's nice to have an Aussie in genuine contention again. Makes the early morning viewing much more enjoyable.

Thanks Django, appreciated.

Thanks for the memories LJ.

Wouldn't think so, Scott has openly declared that the Cats were looking for percentage.

My point was based on the premise that if we were down by 59 points at half time over the past 5 years then the resultant margin would have been significantly greater than a further 7 points. If I'm incorrect perhaps you could point out the games I have overlooked. I can understand your frustration however I refuse to be ultra negative when IMO the second half on Saturday was quite a good effort.

Looking forward to Jesse pulling a boot on and if he manages to play a senior game I'm sure the spirits of the faithful will receive a lift. I witnessed his pre season game v GCS in 2013 and he is a special talent. Been another tough season however under Roos we have improved in many areas and the second half on Saturday proves that theory. In past years we would have suffered a 100 plus point defeat.

All clubs have [censored] supporters and similar players, Johnson and Hunt (now at GWS) to name a couple from Catland. Geelong however are well down my feral supporter list which is headed by Essendon and Brisbane.

Thanks KC, the win was a small glimmer of light in an otherwise gloomy day for the club.

Do or die for Luke I would suggest, cannot see the wisdom in handing him the vest. Roos running the eye over our fringe lads ? Best of luck son.

I'm reluctant to get too excited mate for reasons you well know but it does seem that way. In a strange twisted way, maybe the fact that Clark and Hogan have missed has been the making of this list. Much better midfield, Dawes has been good and Pedersen is a revelation. Then there is the Roos factor. I'm tempted to be roused.

Love your work DA, enjoying Roland Garros ? Other than our habitual Aussie losers of course.
