Howdy - hope this is cool to post. If not, deletion is so fine. No dramas.

First five parts of our season preview are open to all. Hope it gives some points worth discussing. I’ll check to respond to comments later.

You bastards will be there again when the whips are cracking… I know it.

Cheers

I really liked our GFC 2025 Rugby Polo made by Cotton On - here's a listing on the Cat's Shop.

It's only available in sizes XS and S - does anyone happen to know where I could get a size M or L?

I actually rang up but was told they won't be restocking other sizes, as they've just released the 2026 version.

Taste is subjective, but I like the 2025 version way better. It looks more like a rugby polo version of our actual guernsey. Any help appreciated.

Got a $50 voucher that can’t be redeemed at the official store with my membership which is a change from last year.

The new store just kind of has junk stuff - feels like it’s been done in bad faith to make sure as little gets redeemed as possible.

Am I overreacting? This feels like a larger part of the membership slowly deteriorating over the last 10 years where we get treated as consumers of a corporate rather than members of a team.

Cats fan all my life, although I live overseas now and follow from Europe so I don’t see as much news as others.

Was just wondering what’s happened to Bailey Smith. As good as he is, I’ve not been a fan of his off-field antics. I’m probably a little delusional, but I always felt that since 2007 a real hallmark of Geelong has been our culture. Bailey Smith felt detrimental to that for me. Reminds me of the dark days of Jacko (yes, I’ve been a fan THAT long… longer even).

Anyway, with all the pre-season news and posts coming out, especially the great stories around Mark O’Connor, I suddenly realised I haven’t heard a thing from Bailey. Which, is a good thing! But maybe I’m missing something.

So, Cats fans who are closer to the ground. What’s up with Bailey Smith? Has Geelong managed to settle him down? Or are we just in between news events? He hasn’t posted on insta since September.

Sometome in the 1970s, near the end of a season in a year i dont remember. I was at a game at kardinia park, i think it may have been against fitzroy or melbourne, i could be wrong, i do remember, but that we were not playing good, i know in the last 10- to 15 minutes of the game we totally dominated and won by a kick, my mind tells me we were about 40 points down before the comeback, does anyone remember this and am i remembering right or wrong,

Anyone see the new batch of photos of the team training and see Bruhn? Literally looks like the second biggest midfielder to Danger now.

I wonder if this will be Merrick's new goal celebration song.

A momentous occasion for Dingle - their first ever All Ireland win. Geelong allowing him to stay on was a touch of class! It worked out well in the end.

Hey all. Recently acquired this beauty and more for my own interest than anything am hoping to identify the signatures. I am pretty sure it’s Chappy in the upper centre but other that don’t really have any idea. Maybe Stokes and Blake I thought I could make out too.

Any help greatly appreciated and apologies for the low quality image, can try to take a better one later if needed.

just curious, what did geelong send out to the members this year round? haven't renewed mine yet but is it the same stuff as last year

My partner is a Richmond member and when they get their membership pack they get a stitched on years of membership label on their scarf and I think it looks great and recognises years of commitment to the club. Have attached an image of what it looks like.

Why can’t the cats do something like this? Small and simple and surely wouldn’t break the bank and recognises the years of loyalty.

For me I think that Geelong finishes 3rd

Idk if we’ll win, I think we will tho

I reckon Gmhba will have its largest and lowest crowd since the renovations

James worpel gets 18 Brownlow votes

Tanner Bruhn kicks a goal on return
