    How scared are you of St Kilda this year?

    Is that season over for the Saints? Must be just about. Will have to come back a little scarier next year, and no more cuddly Ross.

    Autopsy Cats lose to Port by 6 points after being down by 10 goals

    We should have gone after another mature ruckman like Grundy, Soldo, Goldstein, or a bunch of others (who were floating around in the off season) for a season or 2 at least, until guys like Conway and Edwards can step up as regulars. Most would have been dirt cheap too, and anyone would be a...

    Can Port win a premiership under Ken Hinkley?

    They came with a plan and executed it perfectly last night. It was pretty amazing that first half. Geelong were shell shocked. One of the most under-appreciated coaches out there. If Port sack him, mark my words he will be back at Geelong and will teach Scotty a thing or two. Whether as a senior...

    Losing WEG posters 03-06

    Those Geelong losing ones look a million times better than the 09,11 & 2022 winning Knight ones. Shame that they couldn't have used/re-allocated those images for the Cat's more recent Premierships. Not a fan of Knight's style at all when it comes to football posters. The 2009 Geelong winning...

    How long should a rebuild take?

    Honestly, it's hard to put a number on it, as there are so many variables. Bottoming out and doing a full rebuild (with next to no senior players) like North has been trying to do is fraught with danger. They sometimes don't work out at all.

    Opinion Rank the 5 most heartbreaking finals losses you can recall (from a neutral perspective)

    You're right. The finals system in 1991 was horrible. Geelong and St Kilda should have never faced each other when they did. What were they thinking.

    Words that aptly describe Geelonk!

    Very true. Unfortunately, as Col so eloquently puts, we are surrounded by historical revisionists, determined to block out periods of history they don't like. Very sad state of affairs.

    Words that aptly describe Geelonk!

    Yes, it has neen a little disappointing that we have not won B2B flags this century, but at the end of the day, a Premiership is a Premeirship I would have thought. We are still the equal most successful club this century.

    Carlton 2024 - Are they being overestimated?

    A little, but if they get every part of their game together look out.The way they dominated us in the midfield the other week was alarming

    why aren't Fitzroy's premierships considered part of Brisbane Lions history?

    Agreed that the ones we have lived through matter much more.

    Graham Cornes says Port are mentally fragile

    Yep, you have an awesome midfield. No one would deny that.

    MCG is Fremantle's kryptonite

    Not sure the MCG is a problem for them any more than it is for other interstate teams. Gotta sort their forward line out. Other than that they have been mighty impressive in all but one stinker this season. Probably the club I would like to win a flag the most after my own. The fan base has...

    why aren't Fitzroy's premierships considered part of Brisbane Lions history?

    Premierships are what it's all about, no matter how long ago they were. All supporters care about their club's tallies from the beginning, I would have assumed so anyway.

    Graham Cornes says Port are mentally fragile

    Ken is a very good coach. Not his fault he doesn't have the cattle.
