Had elite talent as a junior (we took him just before some player called Luke Parker) Has consistently battled injury his whole career. He could be good, but he has never shown it at afl level in the past.

Geelong? We have topped up sufficiently again for that muppet to keep his job with a top 5 finish again. West Coast should make the bottom half of the 8. I would have thought Hawthorn would be in a group of 4-5 vying for the 6th-10th spots. You can make it but I'd be shocked if you got a double chance or made a prelim.
Hawks make the 8 no worries.
Geelong still a top 4 chance.
West Coast and Crows will do well possible top 4 as well.
Dogs and Sydney top 4.
Then the premiers GWS who can finish wherever they want. The engraver has started work already
St Kilda to improve the most.

I'd take that as a NO.

Agree you will be around the mark again, who did you gain in the trade period? Tuohy and Black (ex north??) and lost Jimmeh and Boris to retirements. Add to that Kersten, Smedts and Caddy i guess those guys have had injuries and won't affect you too much.? 7/8 games at Skilled right? I would happily agree you would finish higher than hawthorn (unless key injuries)

Where did you hear that? I doubt it as he has had a managed program due to knee injury.

I saw the same thing, I am sure it was some artical on AFL.com or something similar, don't mind the idea but would think there are a few players ahead who would get first crack in the guts.

Boris was the big loss, his experience was amazing & was still playing great footy. Jimmy as good as he was was definitely slowing down.
We're hoping Tuohy (trade) & Thurlow (returning from ACL) can cover to the best of their ability the Boris loss + Mackie starting to slow down.
Kersten & Smedts showed good signs at times but not massive losses. Caddy was pretty big loss if he was playing full time midfielder but got injured during season & by time he returned he had Menegola ahead of him so decided to leave to Tigers for greater midfield time which I can understand.
To be honest I think we'll be around 5-8 mark this year. If we are to make top 4 it will depend on the guys who didn't have full pre-seasons/seasons last year like Menegola, Scott Selwood, Menzel, Thurlow + if guys like Tuohy & Black can thrive at a new club + youngsters like Cockatoo & Lang need to step up.

Speaking of Turtles, is Motlop in shape this time of year or has he been popping those turtles like M&Ms again?Smellls like Turtle.
Geelong won 17 games last year. Motlop averaged 84.1 with 9 games under 80.
Last years average of 84.1 was his second best year in his career with the year before being his best SC year with a whopping average of 88.

My bad, maybe they have to win 20 games for him to be a good pick. His highest score in a loss was 80.
Yeah but its the 51, 56, 58 and 63 in wins that's the damning part. That's effectively 2 donuts over 4 games for a true FWD premos output.

Good point.
My spec forward is Koby Stevens if fit and firing?

Geelong will not come close to winning 20 games. I have them at 6th this year. They are one injury away from 9th.
Could be a good POD option
Fit and firing is the hard part for Koby. Probably better more reliable options out there.
