    Generous of you to say this but I think CF got it right The only place you are likely to see us come the GF is in the stands

    Review AFL 2nd Qualifying Final autopsy - Fremantle defeats Geelong by 15 points

    I think you are just a tad negative saying we have been frauds We have alot of talent, and the MC was fully aware of our weaknesses that needed fixing and tried to do something about it But HMac never got on the park, Simpson only got up for a few weeks, Hawkins has been carrying an injury all...

    Review AFL 2nd Qualifying Final autopsy - Fremantle defeats Geelong by 15 points

    In the last quater we were like statues when players were looking to kick it in maybe our forwards could remember what their legs were for maybe our mids could take a leaf out of the Dawks book and be patient Trying to bomb it on the heads of statues just doesn't work

    Review AFL 2nd Qualifying Final autopsy - Fremantle defeats Geelong by 15 points

    I think this is a real argument for No 1 ruck, power forwards, bigger players come finals I know we have won alot of H&A games this year on the back of rebound footy and clearances lost with an extra man behind the play But we really felt the lack of physical presence by larger players at the...

    Game Day AFL 2nd Qualifying Final match discussion - Geelong v Fremantle

    Lack of a Hawkins has killed us Pretty much our year done here We needed quick movement and smaller forwards to fire Didn't happen Oh Well, 2014 will be our year

    Game Day AFL 2nd Qualifying Final match discussion - Geelong v Fremantle

    Ok so we need Selwood to lift, Bartel to lift, actually our whole midfield to lift We seem to have a real problem with our delivery into the forward 50, we are making poor choices on this delivery As cynical said, we are kicking contested balls to midsized forward who are outsized and...

    Game Day AFL 2nd Qualifying Final match discussion - Geelong v Fremantle

    Big problem Walker has done nothing and we are really missing a tall forward who is effective He really needs to lift and be counted in this quater

    Game Day AFL 2nd Qualifying Final match discussion - Geelong v Fremantle

    Guthrie has had a great first quater and is justifying his selection Anyone who is bagging Jpods opening shot please remember the adrenaline that is pumping through your system at the start of such a big game Most players will have shaking hands, etc for the first few seconds of the game, so...

    Game Day AFL 2nd Qualifying Final match discussion - Geelong v Fremantle

    Already said but bares repeating this is a HUGE game for Walker I really hope he justifies the faith being put in him by the MC My first preference was always for West in the ruck and Vardy down forward for Hawkins but West just hasn't been up to the grade for this sort of game Thank god they...

    Oppo Camp 2013 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

    And then we had a review and the club leaders such a Scarlo & Ablett grew up and got a bit of maturity about how they lived their lives It translated onto the field and we finally had success I think that when that change in culture came Fev would have bought into it and been a happier person as...

    Our bottom 6

    This thread depends a bit on how you define bottom 6 If you are talking least capable players, then right now I would include Hawkins If you were talking order they are selected in then there Motlop, RIvers, & Blicavs are among the first picked, Talking historically Hawkins has been a great...

    Oppo Camp 2013 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

    It's always interesting to look at the path not travelled Would we have been better for Fev than Carlton? I would say almost certainly Would Fev have been good for us, that's a harder question. Fev was good but he was no Peter Street:p

    Oppo Camp 2013 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

    Well the Swans look done RIght now I can see the Tigers winning on Saturday, then beating the swans and meeting us in 2 weeks time Bit arrogant to say meeting us but I have to believe it Todays game is now of huge importance I think Geelongs best shot at a flag is winning today, then facing...

    Opinion Your preferred premier - Hawthorn or Fremantle

    Isn't that enough? I don't go to work with the players, just the flogs whol support them Ok so they never forgot that the game is an entertainment and the Ross Lyon method is about boring the other team to death Still, I could never bring myself to showing them any respect My nightmare would...

    Opinion Johnson a "September fizzer"

    Fred makes a good point here and it bears repeating, statistics can be manipulated to support just about any argument you like. You need to look at the details of how stats are counted and tabulated. A safety tip for the folks at home, I just about swallowed my tongue when I read this thread...

    What's your opinion of Mark Thompson now?

    Whatever stuff ups may come his way, I will always have some respect and gratitude for helping steer us in the right direction and for knowing were the door was, he was a burnt out wreck by the time he left us. Hats off to him for bowing out when he did People may bag some of his decisions...

    Opinion Your preferred premier - Hawthorn or Fremantle

    Whoever wins, this year will not be remembered for the on field stuff but for the disgrace that has dominated the sports news this year A bit sad about that If we don't do it, quite happy to write the year off as a waste of time No one team has excelled this year, none are the stand out...

    Preview AFL 2nd Qualifying Final - Geelong v Fremantle, Simonds Stadium, 2:20PM Saturday 7 September

    Either you have gone off your meds or you were looking for the response you got Trolling your own team is bad form man I would like to see Out: T Hunt, Hawkins In: Guthrie, Vardy Think Vardy can fill the role Hawkins is physically incapable of right now Honestly though I don't think this...

    Review AFL Round 23 autopsy - Geelong defeats Brisbane by 1 point

    What a mediocre game We had 1 good quarter and 3 ordinary ones The freo games score was flashing up on the board at the ground across the day, by 1/4 time we knew what was happening come the finals Hats off to brisbane, thought they played well, we just didn't. Bartel was good for the whole...

    List Mgmt. Early 2013 trade and free agency target discussion

    On Enright. Absolutely agree with you that on form, he absolutely should play on. Problem is I am not sure if he wants to continue. Nearly all his mates have gone, Corey and Pods should definitely go around for at least 1 more year Chapmans body probably wouldn't stand up to playing for...

    Opinion Geelong in 2014.....

    In Scarlets book when Chris Scott came to the club in 2011, the pair both agreed they could win the flag that year I would say that Scott is the sort who believes we can do it every year, does his best to get us in the position for a shot Then we roll the dice We are a real chance 2013, 2014...

    Preview AFL Round 23 - Geelong v Brisbane, Simonds Stadium, 2:10PM Saturday August 31

    The team should and probably will go in unchanged Vardy got a whack behind the ear and a broken nose by the look of it, cant see that stopping him fronting up this week Hawkins condition is chronic, ie it isn't going anywere. Both he and the club would have been working overtime all year to...

    Bumped Travis Boak Revisited

    I'll join the chorus here and agree with you SJ Makes port a stronger side, which is good for the comp. A good player and a good leader Frees up some money for us which maybe allowed the acquisition of Hmac, still not sure if this is a good thing. Certainly alllowed us to pick up Caddy which...

    Opinion Whom should Geelong drop for returning players?

    Hmmm... Interesting to see Corey, Enright, and Bundy all listed as out this week with injury The one thing we can't see from the outside is the little niggles that make selection easy Players who don't deserve to be out but who may be better from a rest We really are guessing off limited...
