The Cats sure have an ageing old forward line, when they all retire soon, they are going to be stuffed , plus Sellwood, Danger, etc , I long for the day the arse falls out of these showponies from sleepy hollow.

So from this point, we'll have to beat the winner of Freo/Dogs and then the Swans at the SCG just to make the GF... sheesh.

Why don’t you choose another team to “support”? Your generalised negativity just makes the rest of us puke.
I’m as gutted as you. IQ wouldn’t see your comments as positive. Moving on.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

Hard to replace Taylor though, no like for like at the club.

Understatement of the decade. Geelong are the Sydney Roosters of the AFL with a stable full of marquee players being paid unders for the love of the game…..

Not really; they evidently don't have one.

No shame in that effort. I applauded the players as they left the ground as many of us did at the ponsford end. I think they deserved it.

Correct, I can't think of a worse turnover merchant that could replace him.

After watching tonight, I don't believe that. We are a chance against anyone. This game tonight will make us hungry and angry.
We're in it up to our necks.
We should still beat the winner of tonight’s game but I wouldn’t underestimate the come down from this. Hope I’m wrong (and I often am because I’m negative).
Well, i immediately took the opposite viewpoint, Haff. This team does not base itself on one game. It is based in a process that has been happening across the entire year. This game won't shatter us. It will make us angry because this time, we did not snatch the wafer thin victory. We lost it, and that will only make our determination and resolve even more fierce.
Whoever it is that we play next, they will be in our crosshairs. Expect a massive response from this game.

WE will win next week be it Purple haze, whom we beat in Perth very well, or the overrated dishlicker dogs, at the MCG , not at their puny Marvel, we will be in a foul mood next week . Yes, but Swans on that friggin peanut ground is a tough ask, for sure, but we did have a go up there last time, we would have learnt a lot from that match. :o

So proud of this team. And to the flogs on here who are:

1. Blaming the umpires
2. Calling for Mihocek to be dropped
3. Talking about whether we can beat Sydney or not

I will say:

1. Umpiring was brilliant, let it go all game and no team had a clear advantage,
2. Mihocek had a quiet game yes but no way he’ll be dropped
3. we gotta win another game before we worry about Sydney

Had a gutful of the whingers on this site. Especially about umpiring. If you can’t just acknowledge what a brilliant performance that was by our team, you don’t know squat about footy and definitely haven’t played it.

They all love the club so much and are sacrificing for team success. Such inspiring role models! That’s the story
