Can the Cats win the Flag?

Jump to new
After the last few weeks you would have to put some money on Brisbane, surely. Brown and Brennan are a deadly combinaton. Backline may be a little suspect tho. In order of premiership favouritism it would have to be;

1. Geelong, way out infront
2. West Coast
3. Brisbane
4. Hawks, North Melb, Port Power
5. The other 9 teams
6. Dockers, haha sucks balls losers
 

I'm glad we get a laugh from each others posts!!:

But I admit I can't compete with you - your one eye is bigger than mine and your posts are much funnier!!!!
 
The Hawks and Lions game should be a ripper next week with the Hawks finally showing some sort of form against the bombers.

Don't know if we've got anyone to hold Brown though, maybe Croad. But the lions backline will also struggle to contain all of the hawks forwards. Franklin and Brennan match up would be an interesting one if it pans out that way. I think it will be won in the midfield though, which ever midfield gets on top and can get it in quickly to the forwards will win the match imo.

Go the Hawks!!!!
 

lol, that's pretty good, but dockers are 30 points up atm. I also don't think Brisbane can win it (even though they are red hot atm) considering they will have to do it from the bottom 4 of the 8 (it's a big ask to win it from there especially as they will have to travel a bit), I don't think they will finish in the top 4 from here with only 4 or so games left.

Hey Duckman .... it certainly is a good laugh ... and AFL is the big winner!!

You quoted me out of context in your last post .... lol ... do Bombers supporters stop at anything?? I'm used to this cos my step father is a Bombers supporter and i had to eat humble pie earlier in the year when he came up from Brisbane to watch the game here ..... and had the hide when he travelled to Melbourne during the year to buy Bomber supporter shirts for both of my young sons!!

Hey what happened to the bombers this afternoon? .... they were right in the mix until the last quarter .... reminded me of some of the games the Lions played earlier in the year

Anyway, i agree with your quote above .... thanks mate!

More weight to my case mate, just shows how pathetic a club they really are, when their season is on the line they are an absolute joke, but when a game is meaningless in terms of what really matters ie. premierships all of a sudden they think they are heroes. The sad thing is they will hang their hat on this til the start of the next season, or until they get belted next week in a game they should win. Freo, for now you should forget the 3 F's; Freo, football, finals. Its the 4 P's for you guys; Pathetic, Pointless, Pretenders, Pre-season! LOL BTW im not an Eagles supporter either, as i am not a 70 year old pensioner.
 
Lol.

I think that will change with Harvey as coach. Connolly never gave license to be as physical as they were against Adelaide and West Coast under Harvey. It looked to be just a one on one clash around the ground today, something Connolly could never plan for, or allow.

Good to see those Bullcreek-Leeming boys involved in another Demolition Derby.

Do people who don't have allegiance to the Eagles or Dockers enjoy watching these?

P.S. if I ever own a yap dog, I'm going to call him Josh.
 
The Roos miss Thompson!

I'm not sure that's true, haven't had Thompson all year and the Roos are currently 2nd, if anything they've been better without him.

The later part of the season will tell, when it is crunch time they will miss him. They would be better with him, a big marking forward. The backline is their weakness they have the 6th highest (pts) against in the top 8.

Would love to have Thommo and big Sav this year. There is 60 goals a year just there.

Backline copes well when Simmo, Swallow, Sinclair and the like put heat on the midfield contests. Then again Browny is on fire and he would pump any backman in the competition when on (Glass & Scrarlett included).

Weagles tanked it yesterday with Kerr taken to the cleaners by Carr and Cousins having a few 'behavioural' issues out there. If those two are subdued, then we might have a sniff. This is a crunch game.

Good footy ahead.

PS: discovered what the third calamity was. Some f*****t smashed the back of my car up in the carpark today and did not leave a note. Far out. Is it that much to ask to do the decent thing?

Any other cat fans here?

Hey Bluesky
Should be a good one this week, I heard we might be using three ruckmen this game to see how it goes.
We have got Chapman, Enright and Ottens coming back this week. Who do you drop?
Unreal, so much depth.

Playing 3 ruckmen could be a mistake. Blake should be first picked, especially in his current goal-scoring form (lol) plus maybe Ottens. King still needs to earn his keep on the bench.

Their best chance of taking the flag is to win their last 7 games on end, making 20 in a row. They hold the VFL/AFL record with 23 successive wins and can do it in 2007!!!

No worries, the crows have been on the p#$! over the weekend!!!!:

The same thing that happened to the lions in the second half today.

THE MIGHTY HAWKS is what happened, lol :

Go the Hawks
 

Congrats Nomores!! My footy picking has picked up since you gave me the tip earlier in the year. Based on todays performance it is easy to see why your guys have had a successful season.

Hawks just way too good this afternoon. The young Lions have got talent but they came up against a team that actually pressured. For the first time in 5 weeks the Lions found themselves in a contest and didn't respond well. Collingwood's loss to Richmond last night reinforces the view that Lions recent big wins have only been against either poor teams and/or good teams playing very poorly.

The midfield for Hawks is very strong and the backline is has more steel than given credit for. Lions players didn't get the space they needed today. When Brennan is hot he is HOT and when he is not , he is NOT.

Credit where credit is due - Merrett has been very impressive this year (forget today). He looks like being a very solid contributor for the Lions over the next several years - the type of dependable defender that all sides need.

Duckman
 

Thanks Duckman.

The hawks are really building an awesome side. The talent & potential in our side is incredible, the scouts and coaches deserve alot of credit for picking key position players that would need time to come on, looking long term not for immediate results.
Every line atm looks very good, our forward line is incredibly dangerous and we've still got Williams to come back in! Our backline seems to do the job every week, our midfield just runs & runs and our 2 ruckmen are under rated.
And we've got plenty of young talent still to make a regular spot for themselves - Muston, Dowler, Thorp, Tuck, Bailey, Moss, Murphy, Kennedy.

While I don't think we are a true premiership contender this year - I think we'll lack a bit during the extra pressure and intensity of finals footy. But in the next few years we will be serious contenders.

The challenge will be holding the bulk of our side together while fully developing the talent & potential.
