My wife has been trying to plan a post-pandemic trip to Australia (whenever that is...) and I keep insisting that we align it with the Cats' schedule. There's no way I fly across the Pacific and don't get at least one game in Kardinia Park.

… everytime I’ve been down to the cattery Hawthorn have had an upset win !

Not a big fan of the Cats … but if you’ve chosen your team you have chosen your team. I recommend watching a game at the MCG though … great atmosphere , we always play Geelong on Easter Monday at the MCG and it is always a brilliant spectacle.

… going to see us play the Saints at the MCG today.

I didn't even watch the Hawks-Cats game live, which is sad because it was on at 10:30 at night, about the best we can get on the West coast of the U.S. Are there AFL fantasy leagues similar to what we have for the NFL, where you draft whole teams for an entire season? I've seen weekly salary-style leagues, where everyone drafts whatever team they want, as long as they can afford it, but I think season long leagues would be way more interesting.

Shame you couldn't see the game -- if you get a chance to watch the highlights do it - even though the Cats lost, it was a great contest.

:thumbsup1:

It's Ok to laugh at me. I just realized us Americans can watch full AFL games 18-24 hrs after completion. I have been alternating between sketchy live broadcasts and 5 minute highlights for years.

Being able to watch the last 11 Cats' games in their entirety has been awesome. I don't know if this is the Cats' year, but it has been fun to watch.

Is it on any networks in the US regularly? I'd watch the hell out of it but not likely to stream on the site I use for non televised stuff

Terrible news. Hate to see anyone suffer a long term injury. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Or ‘Lashie’ Neale!! LOL Not sure who the MC was who came up with that pronunciation.

Hope his stink doesn’t rub off on those 2 GOAT’s

Good luck to your Brisbane Lions in the GF this weekend @Ramrocket !! Hope second time is a charm.

A shame it wasn't Hawthorn v Brisbane ... maybe next year. ;)

Thanks @TK42-RAM. Fingers crossed for the ‘right’ result this year after being so close last time.

Looked for a long time like we would be lucky to make playoffs so ecstatic to make the GF.

Also, VERY glad we didn’t run into you guys in the finals. You almost have to be favourites for the flag next year. Hawthorn are also a bit of a bogey side for us. Can’t remember when we beat you last.
