    Beating the Saints at Stadium
    Aust. after a dismal effort the week before against Richmond.

    Beating the Saints at Docklands in the Semi Final.

    There was a game in Geelong that was alright as well.

    The unearthing of talent that will take this club to its next premiership.

        Beating Geelong at 'The Cattery" & The final against the Saints. I also think a special mention needs to be given for the game against the Pies at ANZ, the boys were super that day & should have knocked 'em off.

        The moment in the Cats match when Gary Rohan grabbed the ball over the back of the pack took off on that sensational run leaving chapman in his wake kicking a wonderful goal.

          Reid's long arms.
          Rohan's speed and self belief.
          Johnson's natural backman talent.
          Parker's second, third, fourth efforts - no fear.
          Braddy's torp.
          Adam's elegant leap.
          Joey's ability to get the ball out of the mess.
          Shaw rising to be where he is in the club as against where he was in black and white.
          Teddy getting better and better.

          Love em all

            The Geelong Advertiser having to come up with a new front page at short notice was pretty special and watching Joeys rise to an A grade midfielder was fun too.

              That was piss funny. Not as funny as the Cat supporter who got a Premiers 2008 tattoo before the GF that year but still funny.

                  Easy decision. The win against Geelong at Geelong. Considering what the club had gone through in the weeks leading up to it, considering Geelong hadn't lost there for decades, considering Geelong went on to be Premiers, it was a truly momentous victory!

                    Geelong win. The sweet noise of the final siren was marginally behind that of the 2005 GF final siren.

                        Everything about the Geelong win was fantastic. First there was Rohan's goal (OMFG). Then there was the win itself. Then there was the fact that it broke Geelong's streak at Kardinia Park. Then there was that poster that was pre-emptively posted in the Geelong Advertiser.

                        Also, Reid's marking against Richmond was a sight to behold (his kicking much less so!).

                        Pyke's perfect drop punt against the Doggies gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

                        AJ's season was delicious.

                        Kennedy's game against his old club was simply magnificent.
                        Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

                          Absolutely. Top moment, after the siren, we all stood and made a lot of noise, the players went wild, it was a "moment" that sticks in my mind.

                            Fair enough. Except it happened in 2010!
