Jeez that's an inexperienced side. Only Beams, McCarthy & the Sack with senior experience and a good chance that either Beams or the Sack will play seniors instead of Maxwell.

[jackcass]

& no Caff? Still no Thomas or Sinclair but Caff's ommision is a bit of a mystery.

[swoop42]

What's up with Stubbs?

Given the loss tonight pity the Caff aint playing.

& no Caff? Still no Thomas or Sinclair but Caff's ommision is a bit of a mystery.

the caff is listed on the superfooty page as "unavailable"

so that being injured most likely

thomas and sinclair a week or two away

[Fire Up]

we won by 4 points

Here are my thoughts on the VFL Game:

Cats Fans where Bloody Cocky after Last Night
Ceglar had a Quiet Game and Missed a Sitter. But did Smash some Packs
I really Like Gordon's Game. Did Well on Vardy Espically Early and He used the Ball out of Defense very well.
Fasolo has to be Close to Debuting
Shae Still looks lost
Keeffe was played in the Ruck and did not do well
Reilly did not do Much
Umpring was usual Crappy Standered
Tom Young Was Fantastic

Dave, i much prefer when you start your weekly vfl report with "umpiring was bloody disgusting".

[Presti35]

This was after out last game:

I've never been so pumped after a VFL win.

And this was me at 3/4 time and during the 4th quarter:

I've never been so dissapointed at the VFL.

But I am happy with the win. I just felt like we let a great opportunity to win by a big margin go after quarter time. We kicked 6 goals to none in the first quarter, only to see Geelong kick 4 or 5 unanswered goals before half time.

The Sherrin stand end was deffinatly not the scoring end today. I think we only kicked three down that end all day??

We were very lucky to get away with one today and I feel like we were outplayed for most of the day. But I supose you could pay alot of that to the conditions. But still. Had a few troubles myself with the USA flag in the wind!!

I was dissapointed with the crowd too, as it felt like we were outnumbered by Cats supporters. Didnt feel like Vic Park.

I'll take the win and hope for an upset next week against the gulls!

Side note: The security guard copped an absolute grill from his boss when he didnt get the ball back to the ump during the third.

DTM, Keefe didnt have his best day, but I thought he did a few impressive things. Shae was great against the Roosters, I just dont know if he likes the wet conditions. He was ok, but I'm hoping for a better game next week.

[Presti35]

BTW, we're in the 8 overnight. We'll stay there providing North Ballarat lose to Coburg.

Go Lions.... Tigers.... whatever!!

[MagpieBat]

Hoping for Coburg to win, but the Roosters at home is always a tough assignment. True, North Ballarat are not the side they were last year, but Coburg have lost all their games so far. Roosters will probably get up...

Went to game with dad today. Great to see the boys win! Was afraid the Cats would snatch it near the end, but we prevailed. Wet and cold, pretty miserable conditions (although I'm sure plenty of us have seen worse, as my dad reminded me he had...)

We were in the Sherrin Stand, near that annoying cadre of Geelong supporters acting as the de facto cheer squad ("Gee-long! clap clap clap!") I felt the crowd was a majority Pies crowd, but I think we were pretty subdued throughout the game (maybe the previous night's result had something to do with it?)

MacCarthy, Beams and (maybe) Keefe should be in consideration for the game against Adelaide next Sunday, based on today's output (or last few weeks in J-mac's case). Also, anyone think that Sundberg might make for a decent selection for next year? Thought he played really well.

Next week, it's Williamstown at VP (gulp!). Mind you, the Seagulls got their ar$e$ handed to them by Port Melbourne yesterday, and they're mostly playing Footscray second-stringers in their team. Who knows what might happen...
