2022 Carji Greeves Medal

[Shadow89]

Cameron announced a baby on the way today, what a week for him!

Serendipitous!

 

[HaroLad]

Has an effectively first year key position player finished top 10 in the B&F in a premiership year in the AFL era before?

 

[Whiskers]

Ok saying Hawkins is 3rd kind of irritates me. He finished 4th.
But yayyy well done to all. Great night

 

[Kitcat]

All cows west of Geelong are in a state of panic.

- the pick we got for him was used to get Ablett and pick 24 which became Kelly which ultimately became Cameron. Motlop for a premiership best and fairest

Not bad

 

[Shadow89]

Love it. Both had great years. Honestly all the top 10 did weve had a really even year.

But cuthrie is so consistent and jezza wow is anyone complaining about the 3 late r1s now?

Got him and delivered us a flag within 2 years- could have given up 10 first round picks and I wouldn't have cared, haha.

To only have given up what was basically pick 24, for Jez, Coop and Willis and some left over, is utterly ridiculous. We truly are the most amazing traders in the business.

Yep that's right, goes back two more steps, haha. Also ended up with Coop and Willis and another pick too. It's just insane

So Motlop essentially paid for 3 years of twilight GAJ (still very good), 2 years of elite Kelly and 2 years of Cameron (with a few to come) over a 5 year period? Given the Kelly picks were of similar value to Jezza picks. You bloody beauty!

 

[Mr Meow]

3 forwards in the top 5 and 4 in the top 8 in a premiership year is something none of us could have envisaged a few years ago.

In 2021 we had just 1 in the top 6 and 2 in the top 10.

In 2020 we had Hawkins in 2nd but no other forwards until Miers in 10th.

This is where the MASSIVE improvement is most heavily attributed.

surely he gets a lifetime membership for that

Graham Farmer all over again - identical to what he did re the bolded

And also wore no 5 and was a left foot kick and won the B/F in that 2nd ( flag winnng ) year

 

[Vdubs]

Had the top 4, as we all likely did, and great to see Stengle feature so strongly as deserved.
Best small forward in the comp now.
Rapt for Cam Guthrie, the ultimate quiet achiever.
JC has been worth everything we coughed up for him plus interest.
Blicavs so close again. Thank you Cam for bringing us this highly unique and amazing player.

 

[thejester]

In his third year on an AFL list Brad Close, 14th pick in the rookie draft, won a premiership and finished top 10 in the B&F. Not a bad result.

 

[catempire]

My top 10:

1. Blicavs
2. Cameron
3. Guthrie
4. Hawkins
5. Close
6. Stewart
7. Atkins
8. Stengle
9. De Koning
10. Duncan

Pretty happy with that prediction.

 

[Schmegg]

Pretty fantastic year, Cuthrie is ultra consistent and the switch to faster ball movement has elevated his game (he was basically the guy taking a high one hander with a bung shoulder and the kick to Jezza gave us the win against the Pies) and Jezza well if we thought we’d never get back what we shelled out in TK well who’d have thought we’d be where we are today.

Jezza is a gun, Stengle the best small forward in the game, Blitz the best whatever the hell you call that utility ruck/forward/midfielder he is, and in SDK he’s basically a combo of Enright’s composure, Lonergan’s spoiling ability, Harry’s marking and with the hands/feets of a some sort of hybrid 7ft midfielder.

Shoutout to Close, has to be the best pressure forward in the game, how many of these blokes kick over 20 goals themselves a year, nullify the opposition small defender and also outrun everyone to get ball everywhere around the ground, we truly have something special here.

 

[Mr Meow]

Pretty happy with that prediction.

Picking just one of the winners is minimum requirement for credit*.

*Well played though

I had Guthrie as the winner, Blicavs and Cameron top 3 (it's hard to pick a duel winner to be fair), Stengle and Close in the top 8 and Tuohy to do well (sadly, no Duncan). Atkins, despite his strong year, still surprised me. Of the 3 I said would surprise us (SDK, Holmes and Zuthrie) one snuck into the top 10.

Kinda forgot to predict where Hawk would fall but he has a grip on the top 5 every year.

So essentially what you're saying is.... Jezza for nothin'

Brent Prismall to Essendon got us the pick that brought in Motlop

 

[winty]

3 of the top 10 aged 24 or under (Close, Stengle and De Koning). So much for the theory we have no young talent coming through.

 

[catempire]

IF

Brent Prismall stays at Geelong

THEN

Jeremy Cameron is not a Premiership player at Geelong.






Am I doing it right?

 

[Drunkcat]

Thought Blicavs would have won, but any of about 6 could have won it

 

[Mr Meow]

One used and broken Prismall = Motlop, Ablett, Kelly and Cameron over a 9 year span. It's gotten even better!

 

[year of the cat]

Good pre season that one - picked up Prismall and Ottens. Could argue that we wouldn’t have won one of our last 4 flags without those 2 trade and draft!

Holmes and maybe Zuthrie could swing in there next year too.
