    Hypothetical: next coach?

    Gee are we planning CS's retirement already? I wonder if Max Rooke would ever consider being a head coach. I don't think he would have any problems getting players respect that's for sure. It would be different having an ex-Geelong player as head coach too. I'm sure if we ever did go that...

    List Mgmt. Proof we're in a rebuild...

    It's likely that Kelly and Bartel only have 2 years left. If Bartel plays forward and continues to play at a similar level, maybe 3? SJ could be done in 2 years as he's been managing his ankle for years. But could go longer. Hmac probably will be done at end of 2015, possibly Stokes, Lonergan...

    Strategy A forward line without Hawkins, Podsiadly and Chapman

    Murdoch isn't a little bloke at 190cms, he's shown he can take some contested marks and his pace is a real asset. But if you wanted to go for a smaller lineup, I'd be more inclined to have Kersten as the CHF than Murdoch. While not as quick as Murdoch, who tested first in 20m sprint during 2011...

    Opinion Does Selwood duck?

    His aim is to break the tackle, which every player is allowed to do. Most try it, but Selwood has perfected it. Through lowering his body he's lowering his centre of gravity. He leans slightly into the tackler to help brace for the contact. Combining this with sometimes raising an arm to get...

    Hopefully its his only fault as no one can be perfect. ;)

    2014 Milestone games Prediction Thread

    Both Duncan and Smedts could get to their milestones, especially Duncan. How we go as a team, injury and with Smedts, form will play a part. Odds are about 50/50 to me. All the others would be pretty stiff to miss out.

    List Mgmt. Geelong at the 2013 AFL Rookie Draft - overall review and general discussion

    James Toohey and Nick Bourke were 2 I really had in mind. Big left boots, athletic, versatile, good marks so some handy tools to work with there. Bates was a bit of a surprise but his bio sounds like a Wells type too. A decent chance one of them might become a decent player, or more. Or maybe...

    Strategy A forward line without Hawkins, Podsiadly and Chapman

    By out of position, I meant as the number 1 ruck. He's much better suited to the backup ruck/forward role. Same position as West really IMO. Since both Simpson and McIntosh weren't options, someone had to play out of position a little bit, and it was Vardy we went with. He has heaps of...

    Well I got one of them. Still some hope the other 2 could one day wind up at the Cats. Anyway back to Jake guys....:P

    Delisted 37. Michael Luxford (2014-2016)

    Ah another thread were the majority seem to doubt the clubs recruiting! Like a couple have pointed out, if anyone is taking a risk, its Michael, not the club. Being one of our countries top juniors suggests he could have had a decent career playing basketball. He could have one day played...

    List Mgmt. Geelong at the 2013 AFL Rookie Draft - overall review and general discussion

    Same here, and history would suggest we will too. Only Pods and Simpkin had been on an AFL list before that I can remember, and both times only as rookies. Thorpe would be a departure in that regard I think.

    List Mgmt. Geelong at the 2013 AFL Rookie Draft - overall review and general discussion

    My concerns over Thorpe are, since he was a really high pick, maybe he peaked early? How much more can he develop? Is he better than Walker or Brown? I have my doubts....if we pick him up clearly Wells and co wouldn't have the same issues. Looks like theres quite a few guys remaining as well...

    List Mgmt. Geelong at the 2013 AFL Rookie Draft - overall review and general discussion

    I don't see how its burning a B spot personally. He's only 18 so got heaps of time on his side for one. Plus at 186cm and 92kgs he already has an AFL body, will need to improve his fitness but that should come in time. I like the fact he's a smaller basketballer, it means he's a guard. He's a...

    Strategy A forward line without Hawkins, Podsiadly and Chapman

    Most people's assumptions are based on the idea that most of the guys mentioned will not improve, or not enough to make us competitive. That's possible, but its just as possible that they could make us competitive. Considering both Vardy and Walker have predominately played out of position and...

    It will be interesting to see if the playing group comes up with something, like they did with Smithy, or if they stick with one already given, like Boris. I like Koala, its a bit like Kola but being a Tassie boy seems more appropriate to me. Or as Daz said, Pepsi. I like ones which are a bit...
