Caddy or Duncan will be the next captain of this footy club. I'm not sure which one yet, but it will be one of those two.

Selwood will have it for probably the next 5-6 years all going well and things can change a hell of a lot in that time, but Duncan and Caddy are far and away the best next in line candidates for mine.

So if we play the Hawks and we both have 40 inside 50's each, on average they will win by 2 goals.
Really hope we shake it up and give Tommy more support , Clark will help and I would play SJ up forward more in 2015 - he's good for 50 goals if he plays there often enough.
He is that Partridge and a damn fine one at that.
However I think he will do a back to the future and finish his career forward. He is a better forward than Breust and arguably as good as or better than Gunston. We desperately need a 40-50 goal forward apart from Hawkins.
I know it leaves a hole in the midfield but if Caddy , Guthrie and GHS continue to develop and if a combo of Lang , Hartman or Jansen can contribute along with Motlop maybe SJ can spend more time forward - if not 2015 then beyond.
5 years ago I would have agreed. Not so sure now.
He's only kicked 50 goals or more on 3 occasions - 2008, 2010 and 2011. He has only kicked 59 goals in the last three seasons combined. He has also lost a lot of penetration in his kicking. He will be playing injured because we know he covers up injuries to play. Plus the inevitable suspension or two next year. Let's just say I'd be looking to other players to become regular goalkickers.
Good points , we certainly need to develop other options as well.
Maybe the decline in goal output is in proportion to time spent in the midfield - over the last 2 seasons , not sure about 3 years ago.
He is a clever player though - had them mesmerised 30-40 metres from goal in the Irish Game !

Geelong is ranked first for "scores from clearances %" 29.5% AFL avg 24%
Even when we are losing clearances, i think there is a tendency for committed forward running from our mids and half backs. There was quite a few games last year our defenders were put under increased pressure because our outside players had over committed. Not by much, but two or three metres is enough to be out of position.
Cant really complain too much as it was mostly from the games<100 players.
I do have an expectation that Mitch and the bull have improved and hopping they drag more younger guys with them.

Caddy ? Duncan? Both potential captains IMO

Who is the middle player? Doesn't look like Caddy.

Was obviously referring to Lonergan
....Seriously though I think Duncan will be the next captain.

Caddy's most famous moment if you ask me. Clutch.

Probably, but I've said it before. Caddy is a natural leader. If he puts in a consistent season in 2015, who knowsWas obviously referring to Lonergan
Seriously though I think Duncan will be the next captain.

Fantastic news to have two key pieces of our future locked away for 4 seasons.

This is the one I am worried about.

Me too. He has always struck me as a bit of a loner at Geelong and would be attractive to almost all other clubs

Not the vibe I get from his 'MVP' videos with Vardy on Cats TV - he seems pretty popular around the club.
A tweet like his below also makes me feel he's pretty happy and comfortable where he is.

We're probably the only club that would put up with his guitar and "singing", too.

I think he's a decent singer and guitarist myself. Good on him for having a crack at something else off the field. A lot of footy players don't.
