The last time Nigel Lappin wasn’t at Geelong:

Mark Thompson was Cats coach
The AFL was a 16-team comp
Current Geelong footy boss Andrew Mackie was only 5 seasons into his playing career
Patrick Dangerfield was finishing off high school after being drafted by the Crows

@bimmyjartel Spot on - he’s been an asset for years. The club has been very good at rejuvenating across multiple key roles over the years, hopefully it’s business as usual and transfer of knowledge has been accruing over the journey.

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@AmericansFooty He’s in good form. Doing the hard stuff as well. Very consistent currently.

@KrockFootball Master vs Apprentice - win to the Master, well coached & the boys responded, frontal pressure was elite, they looked unpredictable, capitalised on chaos ball in the F50. O. Henry, Scratcher on🔥Wiltshire dangerous, Osh claims another victim, CO’S continues to grow, Stewie 💪💪💪

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@dodgyllama They’re probably a bit unpredictable too with all the new “ins” - not to mention players sticking to their positions!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball Interesting stats on AFL360 re Cats vs top 9 (see attached) - gives us hope, but lose to Dees at the ‘G and things will be dire. No sugar-coating it - this Friday’s game is a must-win!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball Great response. Good to see the old firm of Close & Miers back in business (who woulda thought!), Worpedo strong in clinches. Polkinghorne lively. Clarke adds bite to a slow-ish backline, albeit kicking needs work. Good to see J.Henry in his natural habitat. 🤞 for Max & Shaun!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@chapschatcats Can’t teach courage though, so that bit is sorted!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@chapschatcats +1

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@BazDarty @GeelongCats Well deserved by all reports 🙌 Not sure I’m 100% onboard replacing a key forward with a key forward - would have liked to go smaller up front for a change - give the marking forwards some space and let the buzzy smalls go to work at their feet.

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball One simple question: Will the Cats lose to St Kilda this week because of decisions made at the selection table?

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@BazDarty @frankparrotta81 Only seen Hofmann in pre-season game but impressed with his dash and dare. What we miss in defence - a genuine nippy small willing to run.

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@dodgyllama To be fair we did try and get Rowan Marshall last year. But yes, let’s bring big Brad out of retirement!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@BazDarty @TTill99 Tanner whiplash? Wasn’t moving his head, neck looked very stiff.

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball 3 men down, the boys looked cooked in the end, too jittery when Giants turned up the heat. Happy for Jezza to start back for shits and giggles and find his touch, but seriously … okay, let’s focus on the positives: Ollie Dempsey and Shaun Mannagh - take a bow gents!

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball Given we are undeniably too tall and slow in defence, what are we doing about it? Not sure how well Bewsy is doing in the twos, surely he would add some bite at ground level? Also, should B. Close be recalled to increase our forward pressure acts?

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@KrockFootball Bit rusty off the bye. The goals we handed gift-wrapped to Lions through unforced errors ended up being the difference. 31-28 scoring shots (69-53 inside 50s) so did well in forward half but shot ourselves in the foot kicking for goal.

[Trevor Young @trevoryoung]

@Skag_Slapper @FOXFOOTY Not a bad evening’s work!
