That's a bit harsh, i gave full credit to Geelong, and i had been talking up the Cats chances all week. It was a Brilliant win by Geelong. I just thought it was relevent to mention what a mighty effort it was by the Pies to get within 5 Points of Geelong last week, considering the Cats had beaten both the Kangas and Port by over 100 Points in the Finals. I was just proud of our effort last week, especially since we had to travel from Perth and we had No Ruckmen, and nobody gave us a chance. I agree that missing out on the Top-4 did make it tough for us, but considering the injuries we had during the year we did well to make the Finals, and in the end we weren't far off from making a Grand Final. Hopefully we have a better run with injuries next year, because we will need to finish in the Top-4 if we are to challenge Geelong in 2008. If teams like St Kilda and Melbourne can have an injury-free year in 2008 then they could be the real suprise packets of 2008. Well done to Port Adelaide for making the Grand Final. Port will be a stronger team in a couple of years, but at the moment they just don't have enough players capable of playing tough contested footy. The term 'Downhill Skiers' has been used, but they do seem to have a lot of players that do run forward and away and from the ball. The key to Ports Premiership success in 2004 were tough players like; Hardwick, Pickett, Josh Carr, Montgomery, Wilson, etc. I'm sure that Mark Williams will be looking for a couple of those types of players in Trade Week. Well done to Geelong, and the question now is can the Cats make it Back-to-Back in 2008?
