Sorry Gorillas, you can't zone off your opposition and run forward of the ball because you no longer control the game like you did in your heyday. If you want to make the eight this year you will have to pay some respect to your opponents and do them and your fans the courtesy of manning up.

The bad news for Brisbane is that the Cats still had plenty out, Kingsley, Johnson, Wojincski, Kelly, Harley, Riccardi just to name a few and despite the winning margin, I don't think we were all that special today.

What a great day!
North beat the Eagles comfortably.
Cats kill the Lions.
Canberra Raiders get up by 1pt in extra time against the previously undefeated Penrith Panthers!

The rest of the season can only go downhill! :cry:

my observations so far

Cats, look strong, very even side across the board, should still be playing football in the last fortnight of the year
Brisbane, will still be hard to beat at home but will struggle away from the Gabba and are aleady struggling for depth
Bulldogs, explosive running game but would like to see against quality opposition
Richmond, Gonski, they have absolutely nothing, except for N Brown, lacks class
Sydney, traditionally always start the season slowly, saying that will not make top 4
Essendon, good time to catch Syd in round 1, have a dream draw for the season but there midfield still lacks class and depth
Roo's, just may suprise, Simpson, Wells, Rawlings, Harvey, Grant forms a pretty good midfield, finals is not out of the question
Power, in for a tough season, they need two Chad Corne's, one for the midfield, one for down back, midfield is a real concern, it lacks grunt, class and depth, supporters Brace yourselves for a tough year

He's a strange boy that one.. very talented though. When I saw Dockers v Cats i NAB, he was running back to the square, & it looked like he was trying to ice skate on the TD surface!

Yeah, absoultely oozing talent but doesn't seem to enjoy his footy at all, seems a real headcase, hopefully the Cats can screw it on right as the kid could end up being a superstar. Geelong should be paying Gazza Snr to have more kids too.

The cat's are looking very good, agree they didn't look as though they played to their potential against Brisbane.. and with the amount of players to come back they'll be real tough.

Brisbane are struggling, need to find some stability.. i guess you can only go with what your given though.

It's nice to see the power lose, sorry if it's getting repetitive Port fans but.. No Tredrea, No Power.

I said before and I'll say it again. Just as Sydney won a flag after three successive years of finals, Geelong should do the same this year. The ingredients are there. The good signs are there.

For chrissakes Dave, don't jinx us!! Sydney might have done us a huge favour last year, although I understandably didn't appreciate that (or Nick Davis shin goal) at the time.

I will be the first to admit we were terrible and the cats were great.

BUT

As one of the games greats once said - Its not a Sprint its a Marathon

Want to wite the lions off - do so at your own peril. We DID NOT win three in a row without giving up without a fight!!!

GO LIONS!!!
