    22 for Starc and Dev. Worth 16 or more realistically but with his health concerns it goes down.

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Ben Keays perfect example of someone who has made a good career forward with poor kicking. Need to be the hardest player running both ways and be a great teammate.

    Funny thing is that I’ve heard plenty on Harris having knee issues as well. Tall guys need knees less imo, less ground work and more aerial contests.

    AI is dogshit and shouldn’t be here either. Essendon Board correct here to get rid of it. Whole point of forums is for people to talk to people. Inserting an AI response that will bullshit something when it doesn’t know is antithetical to the whole thing.

    Pretty loaded with talent and have academy players to draft that are talented as well. Only hole are KPP’s and glad we have targeted them.

    People also forget that McStay was leaving, Joe hadn’t said he was reitiring but we all expected him to retire sooner rather than later, we hadn’t picked up Morris or Gallop, and the contract itself guaranteed he’d be contracted through the Tassie entrance into the comp. If all else failed we...

    With two years left on his deal I wonder if Doedee would be interested in stretching that deal out another year and splitting the salary across 3 years instead of 2. Instead of 2 years at 1.4m say 3 years at 1.5m. Bowes did it with Geelong, possibly because he could have been delisted after the...

    Every now and then people love to assume Hipwood is on big coin because his contract was so long.

    Starting from Melbourne he should hopefully get here in time.

    Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    One thing I will say is that for back to back years Geelong had an easy run home and every neutral seemed to bemoan that they got such an easy draw. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t call it an advantage at all to have such a simple end to the season and a lot of cats fans I saw said that too. They had...

    Cam Rayner

    Didn’t expect much from Rayner heading in. He did exactly what a tagged player needed to do which is affect the game in other ways and his fourth quarter was spectacular in that regard. I thought Scott should have sent O’Connor to Bailey before the game. He didn’t and Bailey made Geelong pay...

    2024 vs 2025 Premiership, which is a greater achievement?

    Depends on how you look at it. From a story perspective it’s 2024. With injuries shaking the squad alongside a poor start to the season, it was incredible to make that run. Winning those semi and preliminary finals were magical and capping it off with a great grand final. Proved doubters wrong...

    Draper is a good get. Have to plan for the future and Oscar has discussed retiring which would leave only Smith and Fort as rucks. Fort is also 32 and if he retires next year or the year after that leaves us with Smith. Draper is very important for long term stability for the ruck position.

    The difference is that for the better we have an incredible set of leaders amongst our group who are more than capable even without Lachie and West Coast don’t have that. The idea of going home a couple years early presents a new challenge to Lachie beyond a premiership. Which is to help turn a...
