Gotta discount Voss's - he had a co-captain or two for the first few.

Hawkins bumps a guy high whilst their head is over the ball.

Brayshaw: "Hawkins imposing his strength and physicality"

If that was Lynch they would have replayed that ad nauseum whilst debating whether it would be looked at by the MRO.

And the Cameron cheapshot.

 

[Rancey18]

It’s not just about Cotchin’s record in finals as skipper. It’s about where they came from. He led a team that was a rabble and then had 3 embarrassing finals losses to 3 flags in 4 years. How his record as a skipper in finals is not hailed as one of the all time greatest is an indictment on the football industry

Exactly. Plus Selwood inherited one of the best teams of the modern era!

Yeah it’s unbelievable. Maybe cats played like Richmond after half time…

Port looked quick when they got it on the outside. They got a bumper crop in the 2018 and 2019 drafts. Aliir was a great pick up as well. Exactly what they needed down back.

Hawthorn must be kicking themselves.
Picked up Wingard and gave port Bulters and The Arrow.
And with the own pick got Rozzee.
The year after they got Bergmann and then Georgiadis.
Fingers crossed we end up with something similar with this years truck load of picks

 

[Tigers of Old]

Stewart is a massive loss for the Cats. Looked way less composed in defence than they have for most of the year.

What a shame.

 

[Tigaman]

Be a shame if the season was cancelled.

NSW gov did not know where truckies were. Got in touch with truckies firm who then got in touch with WA gov. Two truckies in one vehicle. Very limited exposure so far at remote roadhouses & in Perth wearing masks out of trucks as they are required to do by OZ Covid trucking regs.

 

[caesar]

So now the Pussies play either the Ducks or Giants........but at their Sleepy Hollow Dump? Pricky will be begging to Dopey Dan....

No Sleepy Hollow for Geelong, they are playing at Optus Stadium

 

[tigerlove]

Dangerfield 23 disposals, 8 clangers, 9 turnovers, 52% disposal efficiency.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Port - I reckon they will go all the way...hit their straps at the right time. Home finals and who knows where the GF will be but wherever it is it won't be at a disadvantageous venue for Port

GWS - similar to Port, hitting their straps and have finals experience

Lions - Don't trust Melbourne, they could go out in straight sets whereas Lions have recent finals experience

Dogs - still can't believe the Bummers made it

1 from 1. Still think Port are the one to beat. They remind me of us in 2017 and 2019. They were in the bottom rung of the 8 for the first half of the year, not beating top 4 sides. Then won lots in a row and finals setting them up nicely

 

[WesternTiger]

Brayshaw saying players can’t hear umps because of 20k crowd…what a knob. Seriously Ch7 are the pits.

 

[seven]

Hawkins reaction sums it all up

 

[zippadeee]

What did Geelong give up for Cameron?
I hope they kept the receipt!

He is one sprint away from holidays.
He looked fked tonight.
He looked like a bloke scared not rip another hamstring

 

[Redford]

And the Cameron cheapshot.

Cameron his whole career has been a “cat”.

 

[UKTiger]

Hopefully this result is the beginning of the end for the Cats 2021 finals series

 

[TigerForce]

Hopefully this result is the beginning of the end for the Cats 2021 finals series

 

[Redford]

Finish the job next week GWS or Swans.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Wow just had a sticky beak on the cat's board on BF and they are very very angry
Here's just one screenshot...
