I will be there today too. I hope it is a good one.

I had some intense words with Pete the Scribe on the matter.
I probably think that it was a club effort to retain a talent on the cheap. I agree with what you said below, Cats were always going to bring him home. Maybe TDK, the same.
Interesting about your confidence about the Pies this year. April is the month of fools predicting end of season form and finals forms. But, Melbourne, Brisbane and Pies need to improve greatly.
With their defence and a trade steal firing, the Cats lead the ladder. The next three weeks will tell us if they really deserve to
If kolonskopy played on him, I would have an heart attack before the final siren.

Don’t listen to Lewis’ silliness. It is silly to bring up WA or their few exported players on a discussion about Geelong’s playing style. Some might even say tedious. Lyonesque?

I was bored and I had time. 😁

What about DKs on each other.

I have no time to waste in your gallimaufry wordplay. If I did I would put my nose into Mr Wilde.
You used to barrack for the Cats you know how they have always played. Except for a few years under Gary Ayes. It was and still is known as the Geelong way. The Freemantle team has been stung by the Lyon nettle. Surely you can interpret that.

They are the antithesis to the Cats way of playing.

Cats at the moment have sharp shooting forwards coming out of their a….
Close, Stengle, Miers, Dangerfield; we have to push Jezza upfield.
Their mids seems to be average on paper but are not performing so. Cripps is always a worry. He might need a O’Connor Velcro.
The Cats defensive machine minus our best rebounder against the twin towers. Could be interesting if they can kick straight.

And they tried to bully him through coaches, press and fan sites coming up to the trade. Not a team player, doesn’t do the hard things, wanted more money than McCreery (if only he could match McCreery for talent) etc.

Cats came off a 5 day break when we played the Doggies.

Even when you have Bont in the middle and up forward, he can’t cover both at once.

Most impressive.
Don tells me he is a chronically good tipper. I have never seen him in the top 50.
