still couldn't win! Well done Cats.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Deserved the win.

I really don't like the idea of playing against them at Geelong.

That was the most entertaining game of footy I've seen all year. The determination of both sides was impeccable. The skills, hard running, tackling, desperation, and intestinal fortitude of Geelong was the reason behind them winning. Also there self belief all through the game helped them to the win no end. I wish our players could show the confidence, skills and running that geelong showed last night. Well done Cats!

I thought the Cats looked outstanding in spots. Reminded me of us at times last year.

Agreed. That was the most entertaining match I have seen in ages.

i liked the toe-to-toe punch up between mcveigh and mackie (i think it was mackie - one of the geelong rookies at any rate)

There are a lot of parallels - slow start to the season, confidence starting to build, team effort rather than reliance on a few big names, couple of quality rookies really making a contribution.

No reason why the Cats won't play finals this year and are capable of doing some damage once they get there.
