    I don’t think they have any socks to pull up right now. Real transitional phase for them but I’m a little more optimistic about their future. Bottom out completely this year - go into a strong draft with great picks, huge salary cap room to get a star in from another club, had 2 top-10 picks last year, brand new facilities.

    Going terribly this year could be a good thing for them!

      You could say the same for us , but we have a flag to show . An example is Norf , even though they have a “war chest” doesn’t mean players want to come .They’re very bland and paying a price for not bottoming out for longer a few years ago

          Ping goes Ablett's hammy - massive surprise for a 34yo gut running mid.

            The mighty Cats, with the best midfield ever assembled with Danger, Ablett and Duckin' Joel are a Max Gawn miss kick from being owen 3.

              Was at the SCG on Sat night.

              Hate to say it but gee the Giants have some good players. Davis did a wonderful on Buddy till almost the end, (and I feel dirty) Cameron is special.

              Need to stop Heeney this week, one of the Swans best.
              The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

                Send Cameron to us for a year. If he is still any good after playing with us for a year then he's special.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Some chance that an under the pump Saints might stretch the Cats this week, even at their little boutique advantaged oval.

                    Cats off a Perth trip that gives them the equivalence of 2 6 day breaks.

                      The umpire will find a way at Kardinia Park.... Particularly re Selwood.. I’m still getting over Bob’s holding the ball vs Hawkins last year. That killed us off when we were really challenging.

                        I remember the high tackle called against Cloke on Selwood when he had run him down cold. Trav rightly told the umpire it was bull***t and copped a 50 and a goal to Selwood, when it should have been pumped into our 50.

                          Selwood is such a favourite. He must go around to umpires houses washing their cars and mowing their lawns when he isn't playing footy.

                          But on a night of atrocious umpiring that call really stood out. The umpire stood watching Cloke with the whistle in his mouth just waiting for an excuse to pay a free against him. When Cloke didn't give him one he went ahead and payed the free kick anyway.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
