I think I am going to try to have honeybees this year so I went to a meeting of the local beekeepers association. Some one commented on my Geelong Cats hoodie I wore to the meeting, mentioning he had been in GEE-long. I can understand seppos mispronuncing juh-LONG, but if you had really been anywhereContinue reading “Don’t fill my breakfast bowl with bullsh1t”

Cats run out of lives
Geelong lost to St. Kilda 88-55 to all but end their finals hopes this year. A few hours later Sydney’s win over Adelaide officially eliminated Adelaide,Geelong, and Richmond. As for September, I learned my ABC early on; Anyone But Collingwood.
AFL penultimate round
It’s the next to last round and every game has finals implications. Tonight’s game between barely alive Richmond and wooden spoon contender North Melbourne might be a stretch, but two of Tiger’s greats are retiring after the game. This should fill the MCG at least. The Cats are in a must win to stay aliveContinue reading “AFL penultimate round”
AFL traffic jam
With five games to go in the Australian Football League regular season, just two games separate 5th place from 14th. With eight teams going to finals, nobody clinching a finals berth, and only two teams mathematically eliminated; every game this week has finals implications. It should be interesting to see Fox Sports decide which gamesContinue reading “AFL traffic jam”
Cats win, Finals race crowded
Geelong got the expected win over hapless North Melbourne. The large margin of victory boosted their scoring percentage, which is the tiebreaker. With twelve of the eighteen teams having records between 10-6 and 6-10 with six games to play, the race for the last five finals berths is starting to heat up. Geelong currently holdsContinue reading “Cats win, Finals race crowded”
Cats win, back in the eight.
Since every AFL team plays every other team at least once each season, a Grand Final rematch is guaranteed. The rematch rarely resembles the previous Grand Final but this one did. The Cats won 130-37 with the game not as close as the final score indicated. Geelong is currently seventh on the ladder, but needContinue reading “Cats win, back in the eight.”
Cats win
Geelong beat West Coast 136-89 to get back in contention for a finals berth. Next week they play Sydney which should reveal if the Cats are serious contenders for the flag.
Footy Festival
This weekend the AFL borrowed a page from rugby and decided to hold an entire round of games in one city. This year Adelaide got the honors. The Cats play West Coast early tomorrow morning.
Cats win, hand spoon to Hawthorn
Geelong finally got into the win column with a 127-45 win over Hawthorn on Easter Monday. The large margin of victory assured Hawthorn would have the worst scoring percentage of all of the 1-3 teams, replacing the Cats as the last place team. The Cats managed to have the best record of the 1-3 teams,Continue reading “Cats win, hand spoon to Hawthorn”
Cat-astrophe
Geelong lost to Gold Coast yesterday. With Hawthorn’s upset over North Melbourne, not only do the Cats have the wooden spoon, they are the only winless team in the league. This was supposed to be the team that defended the premiership. Really hard to do if you can’t even reach the finals.
