An Essendon mate at work the other day, made the comment that Geelong seemed to be defying the gravity the Draft/Cap system are supposed to impose on winners. “They’re getting better,” he said.
“It must be amazing to be a Cat fan right now”
It made me ponder where we are, what are we all in [...]
I have to admit to a bit of a man crush on guys like Jimmy Bartel and Joel Selwood. Not only are they great footballers but they just seems so fearless on the football ground.
Watching their efforts the last couple of weeks , the way they crash spin thru packs , gets hit with knees [...]
Geelong the football side is recognised as being an on-field leader the last 3 years. As they should, their success is unparalleled in an era with Priority Draft Picks , Salary Cap Concessions, and Special Draft Zones for interstate clubs. Bar the one loss they would perhaps be recognised as one of the greatest [...]
Anyone else like Coldplay? I was listening to their Viva La Vida recently and it made me wonder if it applied to the Cats. Take a look at the Lyrics.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used [...]
Ever see Deliverance. Four men adventure into the wild, rural unknown.
Of course the Dueling Banjos scene is a classic.
Dadading, ding, ding , ding , da ding, ding ding. Ronny Cox plays the guitar at the fuel stop.
Cadatwnag, twang , twang, twang ,Ca twang, twang, twang. The quirky kid on the [...]
Nature or nurture is an old debate. Is someone genetically determined to be a certain thing or does their environment shape who they are?
How can we doubt that nature plays a huge role? Don’t we at Geelong love the Father Son rule? At a very elemental level , I doubt very much that [...]
Time goes quick.
It seems like only yesterday that we were the young side in the comp, grooming our picks for our latest hope in breaking our premiership drought. Be patient Costa and his mates said. Sure we are not where we want to be but , have faith they said , we are building a [...]
Be careful for what you wish for so they say. Why? Because you might just get it! Well I got I wished for last year and wouldn’t change it but there is no doubt, the Cats winning the flag last year has changed me.
He we are, on the cusp of a new year. Played a couple games. Showed enough to scare some clubs and to show we have some pretty handy young talent. So the real question for 2008 is what’s this year going to be like for us. Will we continue to be a kick A side [...]
Well , we have done it. I have often dreamed of it but I was unsure that I would ever live to see it. As I’m unlikely to get a chance to personally say this , I’d like to say “Thank You” here to all involved in giving me this gift of a lifetime.
Thank You [...]
Is there any doubt that Chris Judd has changed the drafting mindset? Pre Judd most thought draft picks were of vague value , and certainly not as valuable as a ready made quality senior player. A kid who looked a million dollars in the U18’s could often be found out when playing in the [...]
As the circle of light increase, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it – Albert Einstein
I don’t know about anyone else but my head’s in a bit of a mess. The thought’s driving thru my brain right now seem to run contrary to what my gut tells me , I’m all over the place [...]
I not sure if I’m in an unusually positive state of mind , in way I suppose its hard not to be in a bit a haze considering our current position on the ladder or the way we seem to be winning but I’m pretty happy with the state of our list. It [...]
As I mentioned in my first blog of the year , I’m not adverse to a memorable quote from a movie. It appears I’m not alone , Leigh Mathews this week ran with a little beauty about big black holes and Michael Voss. He was referring to a quote from the movie Tombstone, [...]
There’s a saying that says the harder you work , the luckier you get. Maybe its true but sometimes things happen , totally out of ones control and it just falls into place. Look at our current playing list. Our recruiting dept. has done a top job assembling our current list , there has [...]
