Jealous of the cats
Reckon this years premiership will be won by a thereabouts...
So someone like Geelong can get away with rejigging, refreshing a little, and going again.
Last few years you wouldn't get away with that cause of certain sides clear dominance, the year the cats do it, it may just pay off.

Re: Jealous of the cats
Three flags 07-09-11 and then re-build around Selwood and Hawkins.
I think even the biggest cynics would have to say Geelong have done a very good job.

Re: Jealous of the cats
Meh - Cats have beaten Brisbane, Essendon, Port, Gold Coast and Hawks (in 1st round)
They have a fairly tough run between rounds 11 and 19
5 to 8 finish

Re: Jealous of the cats
Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong
Remarkable
9 flags between them
13 GFs
And still will make the top 4 in 2016
Cyclical premiership clock rebuild bulls*** just not a reality
Melbourne 3 number 1 DPs
Richmond 2 rebuilds
Carlton 4 number 1 picks
All still trying to make the 8
None will get close

North have got their imports humming along.samuraisaint wrote:Or North.
Being defensively brittle and is their main weakness. Improve there and then they are a real chance this year. Waite has been re-invented and has added a forward pressure aspect to his game that he never had before. That and great consisrtency which he has always lacked.
Suns were rubbish today and Cats often beat up teams at KP.
They have a very easy draw this year and will make finals easily. Not sure they are good enough to make it to the big dance. But yes big dance is wide open this year. GWS may well gain the consistency they need to go all the way. Swans are humming along after adding some very talented new blood.
The Crows are certainly up and about as well.

You are probably right. But 5-8 is still respectable given they haven't needed to bottom out.Devilhead wrote:Meh - Cats have beaten Brisbane, Essendon, Port, Gold Coast and Hawks (in 1st round)

I still think when Gibson, Hodge, Mitchell and Burgoyne all go the Hawks are going to come back to earth with a thud.
Then when Roughead and Lewis go after that they are going to be very ordinary. Absolutely no way will they be able to stay up for another decade.
Re: Jealous of the cats
They will get o meara
And others who want the cash available after the above said retire
Obviously they won't keep winning
GWS and Sydney are scary
Geelong will make top 4

Oh boy if the Hawks get O'Meara their fans will be unbearably smug if they aren't already.

Re: Jealous of the cats
Beneficiaries of an extended stay at the top as the introduction of Gold Coast and GWS denied other clubs the cream of 3 to 4 years of top end talent as part of their re-build and clubs who were on the cusp glean even worse impact because they couldn't find the last few pieces of the puzzle to become genuine premiership threats. The two new teams delayed our rebuild too.BigMart wrote:Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong

Re: Jealous of the cats
Sydney got lucky with MIlls and Heeney but when was the last time Geelong had a top 5 draft pick? Cockatoo was pick 10 and Dangerfield 9 but that is it. No high picks in over a decade.

Re: Jealous of the cats
Watched the GWS v Cats game. I believe Geelong are really susceptible to teams with midfield and outside leg speed. They will play finals but dont see them as GF contenders...

Re: Jealous of the cats
Tired of being jealous of all the other clubs. Yes, all the other clubs, because they have all been more successful than us (even the ones who are yet to win a premiership).
It's not worth it. If we continue to do this, we may as well organise a great big Miserabilist Footy Marathon, where we can all get together and watch the 1971, 1997, 2009 and 2010 GFs over some cries and wah-bugers and eat big bowls of Prozac ice cream for dessert.
Seriously, the future is starting to look bright. It's a far brighter picture than gazing into Nostradamus' telescope pointed at Geelong!

Re: Jealous of the cats
My brother supports Geelong
Am I jealous
F### YEAH!!!!!
And if you don't admit that you're kidding yourself
Can they win the flag?
Absolutely... Sydney, GWS and WC stand in the way

Re: Jealous of the cats
If everyone was a top bloke then top blokes wouldnt have anyone to think they are a better bloke than. You need some dickheads around so that the top blokes can feel smug about being a good bloke. You cant be a 'good' bloke unless there is some point of reference e.g a d**khead. So let me be that point of reference on the bad bloke-good bloke spectrum. Without dickheads there can be no good blokes.SaintPav wrote:Con Gorazidis, the voice of reason.
