Great call on both accounts calder_daddy: With that Gold Coast pick 7 on offer I think it was both Hawthorn and Essendon that made better offers for Bowes but Geelong had been interested in Bowes for sometime thanks to Paddy Dangerfield and Gazza Jnr who both had a excellent opinions of him as...

Touhy's been down this year but there was a hardness to his game today re: 2022 season that he hasn't shown in earlier season games which was great to see, keep that mindset and standard of play and not only will he be undroppable but he'll be a major acquisition to the side.

I can understand with other Geelong Big Footy members having concerns or reservations, as 'match-day fitness and competitiveness' cannot be simulated with in-house training but none the less I do agree we have to back-in our fitness, medical and coaching staff with having the confidence and...

WHY? Tandy:..... less than 30 disposals can also equate to less game time &/or sharing of football amongst players of which a few observant and astute Geelong fans previously on Geelong Big Footy threads have noted. Inside 50's last three games Brisbane Lions 51 vs Geelong 57..........+6...

Not aware of your previous posts No Quarter: just commented on the one post but I'd like to point out that I did comment about being "NOT overly cocky" as I'm in full agreeance with you in regards to 'humility' and the importance of being humble in life not just football and I certainly have...

Just as well you're not a Saints or Freo supporter No Quarter: as footy life would almost be darn right miserable. And to think for all us 'extra confident' but NOT overly cocky Geelong fans out there, there's been four occasions since 2007 that we've been 'on a high' throughout those entire...

Couldn't agree more, however I was really concerned about Mark O'Connor in the preseason games because he was so bloody ordinary, just awful but 'thank goodness' he turned it all around 'so quickly' and hasn't looked back. In fact he's even getting better by the week and as you say...

Mr Meow:.... we're having so many of our 18yo to 25yo's coming on so strongly this season that to be sure it'll make for future selections in side extremely tough which includes the likes of Rohan, Touhy, etc and many youngsters. So.... will ALL of the older brigade maintain their excellent...

Wasn't a fan of Hobbs earlier on in his career, more brawn than brains but he seemed to make good progression but today you're 100% right just opened the door for the Magpies when you were on top and with too many other Bomber players shitting themselves for no reason at all and making poor or...

Agree with you both assessments Gunf: and have corrected accordingly so thanks for input 👍 Touhy's lucky to be getting game even present let alone next year as he's been down on form this year but Chris Scott seems to be have a soft spot for the Irish given perhaps the huge sacrifices they have...

Although we still have a few players uncontracted there appears to be only two possible concerns with one being being Tyson Stengle and the other Brandan Parfitt which hopefully won't be issues anyway but I stand to be corrected! THANKS catempire ⬇️ PLAYERS SIGNED UP BY GEELONG SINCE DECEMBER...

- Good news to all Cats fans in that we no longer need to draft or trade, as according to Tom from Thomastown who's a passionate Geelong supporter, our re-build is now fully complete and although it may have taken a entire pre-season to accomplish we all know that time and tide waits for no man...

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a club that was offering somewhere near the million, especially the MCG clubs with the wide open spaces as he could literally be the difference to a side getting into and winning a grand final which I hope will be us this year with Holmsey winning the Norm...

But with sustained injuries to 'multiple key players' like Curnow and McKay for a length of time, it can still hurt a club big-time Worm4: but bye and large I agree with what you say if the club has the necessary depth of which both Carlton and Geelong appear to have. And as important and as...

What you say is partially true mcgarnacle: but I'll put it to you that GWS, Sydney, Collingwood, Carlton, etc need to evaluate themselves once they have played the likes of Geelong and at present I don't think for a moment Sydney is any better side than Geelong, so they themselves will have alot...

I'd say it wasn't so much to do with lack of knowledge Worm4: but rather trying to be humorous through a pretence of disguised ignorance. Better off not replying because that's what they want you to do. Indeed we have some very strange folk here on Big Footy 'from all clubs' that like to amuse...

If this reported $3 million for 4 years is on the money then this is a huge result for the club because Max would have never signed for this deal without having deep discussions with the club. Been saying for awhile now that our current younger players aged 18yo to 25yo are the best collective...

You're cherry picking like you always do, you're such a pathetic human being. Saints if they wanted to could have easily gone through season undefeated, unlike Collingwood in 2011 when they beat every other side except for Geelong, the Saints were more than capable of beating the Cats. After the...

That's exactly what Malcom Blight use to do Vdubs: but 'no clubs or coaches' these days will have their ruckman follow the opposing ruckman when he rests forward, it just never happens..... need to perhaps bring back Blighty, at least Toby Conway would be guaranteed a game!

Geelong was appalling in that finals game agaist Dees, lethargic, listless and largely uncompetitve. I don't know about you Phatboy: but if I'm a passionate Geelong supporter 'which I am' and was hugely disappointed in our effort I'd like to hear from the coach as to why that maybe the case. As...

Yeah that Lobb decision was a little bit like Grundy, just didn't make much sense either, especially with Darcy who's going to be a gun. You were a lot closer to winning last years flag than most people realise, this is where sometimes in life you just need to be a bit luck. Which includes...

Only Geelong's inner sanctum can really answer that question DanA:..... could be one, could be the other, could be a bit of both but either way in time he'll get plenty of game time and end up being excellent, both as a inside and outside mid with a few additional goals during season to...

The biggest mystery to me was the Demons bringing in Grundy, it just didn't make any sense. Your achilles heel was the forward line in which you desperately needed to find another class forward or at least finals competitive forward like Collingwood's Brody Mihochek. If the Dees could have...

- So true with what you explained KG: the starkness between Stewy not being in the side from 2021 to 2022 was quite amazing, literally day and night but a BIG PLUS for us 2022, same as now because our back half was great after Stewy left field last Saturday night against the Lions, especially...

Yes they did and unfortunately for the Cats we had downers in those games but we corrected those down days by beating Hawthorn for the next ELEVEN consecutive matches, including finals which strongly suggests that we did indeed have a downer on that 2008 Grand Final day and as far as the Magpies...

Geelong's two toughest away venues in recent times has been the Adelaide Oval and the Gabba and yet we've beaten both Adelaide and Brisbane reasonably comfortably this year which most Geelong supporters would have put in as losses, so that has been a 'big win' for us and yet we have only won...

Yeah Warner at this point to be sure has been the better footballer and is a gun both inside and outside but come The Swans Vs The Cats round 14 game at the SCG and hopefully with an additional finals game, I sure hope they spend a bit of time 'one on one' playing on each other because I think...

That 2009 St Kilda side if played against the past 6 grand final winners would win at least half of them. That round 14 clash in 2009 when both The Cats and The Saints went into game undefeated with both on 13 wins each (which previously had never been done) was the best home and away game I've...

As you're probably aware Mr Meow: I'm not so much into stats but rather just to be used as a guide. Chad for varying reasons as a mid has been more advanced than Tanner with his 2022 Grand Final performance against The Cats quite remarkable for someone so young and has a excellent balance to his...

CHAWKTS: the other aspect that needs to be taken into consideration with Ollie Dempsey is that he more than any of our fab younger players in our side has more upside, but more-so in the 'second half of this season' as there's a real X factor about him. Even that last goal that Brendan Parfitt...
