Prediction Cats Fans Only - Fill In The Blank and Lock In Your Predictions for 2025

[FootyLad0]

Cats fans!

Lots of talk here about who knows the most and who “says” they predicted what happens during the year…usually after the fact or with 20/20 hindsight. Lots of talk of who is supposedly in the match committee’s doghouse, who is the next Scotty project player and who is actually IN THE KNOW.

Well let’s find out and have a fun little thread doing it
Let’s see who gets it right and who is gonna get it wrong, all for a bit of banter and a laugh.

Just copy the table and post your predictions here. Or simply reply to the OP and use this table. You can edit your entry as many times as you like before the thread gets locked and the season gets under way.

I’m positive our amazing Mods can lock the thread on Thursday 6th March at 7pm AEDT just before the Catters take on the Lions (Cyclone Alfred could throw a huge wrench into those plans) and get it in before the season officially starts for our boys in the Hoops. We will open it up in about 12 months to see if anybody got it right in season 2025.

Good luck!

[Kobe Gryant]

Just out of curiosity, are the KMF delisting calls just predicting he's going to be (or already has been) a campaigner?

I know he'd a late pick, but he's still got a two year deal.

If the campaigner stuff is overblown/untrue, it would be very un-Geelong like to delist him IMO.

We very rarely don't let draftees see out their contract.

It’s probably just a combination of the headlines and the fact he’s hardly been sighted on the club’s socials. Not looking good from that perspective, but also doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
