Can the Cats win the Flag?

It's a pity that Blake has lost a bit of the form he was in a few weeks ago. But I'm not sure if King can turn it on just for one game and what role would he play vis-a-vis Ottens?

At least Ottens and Blake have an understanding of their roles, but I'm not sure about the Ottens and King combination?

As for Playfair replacing Byrnes, you're talking about two totally different players, one a tall key forward, Playfair, the other a small running forward/midfielder, Byrnes. I wouldn't meddle with this, I'd leave Byrnes in the side as I think they'll need his pace against Port.


Should be a great game, but the Cats would be suited on the MCG.:)

So you would be inclined not to change the lineup at all for the grand final? Well, just read an article about King being on the move if he is seemed not to be any use to the club. I hope he stays and somehow squeeze into the team... he was the heart and soul of the club when they needed a leader back in 2000-2003...

With a huge opportunity for a premiership at stake, I'm sure the GFC will make the decision on the basis of winning the game, rather than individual's priorities. If they select only one of them to partner Ottens, of course whoever misses out, Blake or King, will be bitterly disappointed.
 
although cam mooney should not have been made the aa forward pocket...he has been instrumental in leading his team this year - and credit to him to get it all together imbetween his ears and string a solid season together...

the cats have it all...power forwards...crumbers...enforcers...solid flankers... centers...taggers...key backs (im sure you get my drift)

it should surely see them over the line

kane cornes could blanket one of the geelong mid's however a team cannot tag them all...and they are all quality to choco may have to role the dice and go head to head with them and see how thompson reacts

cats to win by 5 goals after being tight early
 
Not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but anyway. Word on the street says it appears as if a flamboyant Hawthorn player has tested positively 3 times to Cocaine. And is also potentially going to be charged with possession with intent to sell. Jail time potentially...

I had wondered why Hawthorn suddenly dropped off the list of clubs looking at Judd. I guess that is the answer...
 
its funny because its really obvious who it is...

it will be nice for a change that the commentators realize their are 17 other player on the field for the hawks and the whole team does not revolve around one...

it looks like the tigers choosing tambling was the right decision after all...

Well done to Jimmy, won by 7 votes and missed the last 2 games with an operation. Now all the Cats need is the Cup this weekend and it will be a cleansweep.
The rising star award, 9 all Australians, the Brownlow and hopefully the Cup to cap off a super year.

GO CATS

Also don't forget who just won the VFL premiership, The Cats over Coburg, with Tom Lonergan voted best player. Can he make a return to the senior list in 2008 despite losing a kidney?:)
 
Hopefully they wont be able to find their way home.

Very good tech tech ,but more likely the other way around. Melbournes IQ to increase with an education on how to play finals football.Victorian teams are desparate to have the success of port power in there ten short years in AFL .Hawthorn back in the finals ,expect mebourne and essendon to be there to now there coaches have been educated in the port tradition.If port were a share company you would have to invest with strong management and great growth potenial.Seriously tech your crows are looking fragile for next year:):rolleyes:

Ahem........if we are talking bloodlines - Essendon is the original "Super Stallion" thanks Petervan.:D With Port being the talented progeny.

Dean Bailey, Mark Thomson, Mark Harvey, Damien Hardwick, Matthew Knights, Mark Williams, Robert Shaw, Gary O'Donnell.....these are just some of the big names in coaching that have had direct exposure to Sheedy/Essendon as players/coaches.

Unfortunately the "Super Stallion" appears to be on its last legs and may have to be put down. The last thing we need is to catch the horse flu. Essendon has been coughing, spluttering and had the runs all year without adding the equine virus for good measure. :)

And GO THE CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
maybe already posted ?

hell that's nothing -
if they win , they'll all probably spend the (rest of the) weekend in the watch house :)
and happy

Geelong player arrested outside club
11:00 AEST Fri Sep 28

Police say they used capsicum spray to subdue and arrest a Geelong AFL footballer following an incident outside a nightclub in the Victorian city early on Friday.

The Geelong club said defender David Johnson, who is not in Saturday's AFL grand final team but played last week in the club's VFL premiership side, was involved in the incident.

While not directly identifying Johnson, police allege two men and a woman were assaulted by a man in Moorabool Street at 4.15am (AEST) on Friday morning, who then ran off when confronted by police.

Police chased Johnson for 200 metres before stopping him and then had to use capsicum spray to subdue the footballer.

A police spokeswoman said the man identified as Johnson had come to the attention of police earlier in the night, when he was evicted from a nightclub at 2.30am.

Police drove him home to his Newtown address before they found him again in Moorabool Street.

Johnson was being interviewed on Friday morning over the incident.

The club said that because it was a matter being investigated by the police, it could not make any further comment.

AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said Johnson's arrest was disappointing for the club, which had enjoyed a magnificent year.

"If the allegation is correct (Johnson's behaviour) would be silly," Mr Demetriou told Southern Cross Broadcasting.

"Geelong Football Club has done everything magnificently this year.

"They have won every award, they have conducted themselves brilliantly and I'm sure they would be extremely disappointed with that incident that happened overnight."

He said the arrest had let the club down, particularly as it came on the eve of the grand final against Port Adelaide.

Bit like Piggy Muldoon (ex NZ Prime monster) when he said of some mob who preferred Aus over NZ

but not wanting Aus to get cocky about it

"if these blokes want to go live to Aus - let em
just that the average IQ of both places would increase !;)
 
Agree with what you say duckman and before port joined the AFL essedon picked off some of ports best players.But the last 5 years there has been a changing of the gaurd.Would like to here your opinion on the new coach .I was shocked as his record at port magpies was not good enough and feel he his not hard or ruthless enough.Look,s to me like the board have made a mess of the selection process but could prove me wrong and win the flag next year.:)
 
I'll be barracking for the umpires tomorrow!!

Geelong or Port is like picking the lesser of two evils.

Mark Williams,

Um, I think Mark's father Fos, a coach of the most successful SANFL club might just be rolling in his grave at the thought that Mark was the progeny of Essendon!
