Geelong is playing Richmond in the AFLW at 7.10 Friday at GHMBA. So presumably a late arvo start for us.

Makes sense, I think the pies social media team mentioned friday afternoon.

 

[Jen2310]

Will we be able to get the live stream Jen?

Thats the plan. I'm sure they'll let us know closer to friday how to access it.

For whatever downfalls cox may have his upside is so much greater than Cameron. rather ride with his down games then have a backup ruckman trying to play forward

I’m definitely not a fan of Cox, however he’s absolutely a better forward. I could live with Cameron>Cox too, but as long as it’s not both I’m happy.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hope that does not mean they can't Stream the Game

They will be. It was already planned.

They will be. It was already planned.

I bet they schedule the game for 11am and say they don't have enough time to get into the stadium and set it all up or some rubbish

All good Freddo is in his 30's he knows kardinia park

Heard De Goey not doing Match Simulation this Morning

We already knew that was a chance because of the scans he had yesterday.

What scans?

Nick was there...

I wouldn’t be playing De Goey in anything until March 18. But I’m also in the school of thought that pre season matches are a waste of time for 30% of your list.

Jen, your dedication to keeping us well informed and excited about the season ahead is phenomenal. Thanks so much.

Did we get through match sim without any additional injuries?

Any eye-catching performances?

Don’t these guys ever go to school? Or am I too old and forgetting when school starts now

Dib and Nick finished year 12 last year.

They both did? Handy. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the AFL stops them from training with us on school days though

Haha yeah they did.
Dib will be starting his commerce course at Deakin in coming weeks. I believe Nick is doing a sports course at deakin. Overheard bucks said they had been coming in every tuesday during feb, also should be able to play a couple VFL games during the nab league break.

I wonder if it’s their choice to play NAB league or if the club has considered even investigating the idea of playing in the VFL full time. I would hope there’s not a rule stopping it!

Daicos in particular is clearly rated high enough and the club already showed its hand in recruiting him by trading out this years first rounder. I would think it’s more beneficial to have him full time in the VFL system than it is playing against 16 and 17 year olds with micky rules.

Without knowing anything about Dib except reading he’s a late first/early second it would be questionable if he’s good enough to play seniors at VFL level every week, I would think based on all reports Daicos would have no issues.
