Geelong Cats!

Kaskill, I never said Geelong were playing ordinary footy. They wouldn't be X games clear on top if they were. The ones I don't like are Hawthorn and North Melbourne.

Yes, Dogsact, I think this has been an ordinary year overall. There are too many yo-yos around - clubs that are up one minute and down the next. Port Adelaide and Adelaide are guilty of that. So are Fremantle to a degree. Sydney were, but I think they're getting into their groove now.

Hawthorn and North Melbourne are being at least consistent. That's why they've been able to take advantage when the stronger clubs have a weak weekend. When those clubs I have mentioned get some consistency going I expect both the Hawks and the Kangaroos to struggle. They have not impressed me.

Good luck tonight cats!!!! going for 11 in a row but its a tough game and they never kick away from the bulldogs for some reason the cats always get beat or its a very close game! :D

After lasts nights thrashing of the Bulldogs and 11 consecutive wins, I'm coming around to thinking the Cats are the real deal in 2007. How will they go come finals time though? I'm sure they still have bitter memories of the SCG against the Swans and the Nick Davis show. :P

haha beaussie even I still have bitter memories of the moment davis kicked that goal in the dieing seconds

and you have to admit the cats had that game wrapped up and blew it!!! full credit to the swans that year though. but having said that i dont think the cats will let that happen again not saying against the swans but be it any side i think they are showing this year that they have finally come together as a team with no mistakes and are playing the brand of footy we all knew they could!

The 2007 semi is a perfect example of how unsurity of a rule can effect a game. Logic says put the ball over the boundry but the players thought "Shit. ill get oinged for deliberate", they hesitate, Sytdney wins. BANG!. If Geelong had put it over, free kick or not for delid, the grand final couldd have bee a heck of a lot different. IMO

At 3/4 time, things were not looking good for the Swans. Thank god for the Nick Davis 4qtr show. :D

Last minute show! If the cats had got that ball that sat sooo close to the boundry over, they should have won. Thinkng about it, it must have been so exciting as a Swans supporter, firstly escaping that game. Then THAT mark in the dying GF seconds. Edge of the seat stuff, almost change of pants stuff! lol

I go and put Sydney on the "in the groove" pedastal - and what do they go and do? Play the yo-yo again and get beat by West Coast!!

Then again - maybe the Eagles HAVE bottomed out! Look out Bulldogs I think!

If you are planning on betting on the brownlow, Gary Ablett has got to be just about a certainty unless he gets suspended. Some of the games he's predicted to get no votes in, he will probably still get 1 or 2 votes with the way he plays the game.

the only problem with that is not too many people like gary ablett snr because of all the stuff that went on but if the umpires look at the games played and that only i think your right ablett is the man for the brownlow!

If any umpire is judging Ablett Junior on Ablett Senior's off field rep then they shouldn't be out there umpiring!!

yeah this is true but we cant deny that its how the minds of some people work

Just as long as they aren't umpiring AFL, Kaskill.

ablett yet again stars for the cats! i think if he dosnt win the brownlow something is definantly wrong

im a true blue cat supporter but he is by far the best in the AFL at the moment!

He may well. and he might. But, whether he attracts the attention of the umpires is the key. The Brownlow to me means not much, an achievement yes, but it does not really reflect the best players. Countless backmen will attest. Give me the player5s award for true reflection.
