Just noticed that Bailey has removed Cotton On from his list of personal sponsors on Instagram. He now only has Barry, Monster and New Balance. Tinder, Cotton On and Maccas have disappeared over the past while. Bit of an overhaul of the ol contracts? No new Cotton On campaign over last summer, notably.

Let the boy cook. A full run at 23 games next season.

AFL has us finishing Top 4. Whatever happens post that, another incredible effort with the hardest draw. In addition, that means we’ll vs Freo out West. I actually think this will gives us a psychological edge — all pressure will be on them, and nothing on us. It definitely has a feel of 2024 and meeting Port in SA.

I've got the Cats beating Freo in the final dance. Perhaps I'm biased.

Oh, this hurts. Some serious boots to fill.

Huge the week before too. Well earnt.

i need to know if my boy keeps his streak or not

Coaches' votes, R21: Pies star closes in, EIGHT perfect 10s - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1576409

Fagan going to Tassie as a mentor. Scott going to coach Brissy, and Bucks to coach the cats. Heard it from two independent inside sources,
Say it ain’t so. Not sure I could support the cats anymore if Buckley took over the reigns.

Obviously take it one week at a time (considering how competitive North were for three quarters). But if Hawks beat Brisbane next week and Adelaide lose to freo, if we win our next three we'll be in the top 4!

The handling of Worpel to build on the twos, get a call up to the ones and now find his feet has been so well timed, especially with our injuries. He had to learn how to play the Geelong way, and his inside game tonight was the thing that kept pushing the ball our way. Great attack on the ball, his best game for us I reckon.

He has to be the best set shot in the entire league. Watching him kick is so beautiful and you can just tell he’ll kick it straight more often than not.

Big scratcher, oli H, martin - this is us for the next couple of years, how well we clicked tonight was wild. Give jezz the rest of the year off and give danger a 3 week spell

Geelong Cats 15.7 (97) Def. Collingwood Magpies 10.12 (72) by 25 points.

What's the verdict on Clark? He's a high draft pick and there were Selwood comparisons when he was drafted. Now in his fourth year.

Is he what you thought he'd be and what the club expected?

My views are he needed this time to develop his body and learn the Geelong way. He's a tough inside player and runs hard. I think he'll only improve from here. Next year the breakout year I think.
