    Toast Geelong 07-12 Team of All Australians

    Hey guys, Just thought I'd post this cool little collection. We all know the All-Australian selectors love us and between years 07-12 Geelong have had nearly enough All-Australians to feature across the entire field. Of coarse we had 9 to start with in 07 but since then we've found a...

    Rumour Ablett back to Geelong in 2016

    I've lost count of the amount of times I've wondered how much better Geelong would be with Ablett back in last season. 2011 was another story, we were loaded (obviously), but 2012 some of the older guy weren't at their old best and we always seemed to have a gap that a playmaker like him would...

    Your three 2013 Predictions

    An international player wins the Rising Star award. It's a shoot out between Hawkins and Schulz for the Coleman Medal with Buddy out of the running because he spends too much time up the ground while the aforementioned have career bests. Geelong have another rebuilding year and make the finals.

    Opinion Your top 3 most-hated clubs

    Carlton - These guys seemed pretty badass which got on my nerve when they won a lot in the 90s. Collingwood - Surprisingly not my No 1, when even they want to be your No 1. North Melbourne - Another annoyingly good team in the 90s, as if you couldn't hate Carey enough, up comes little do gooders...

    Opinion 10 most over rated current players

    I would say Tippett but no fans overrate him only Longmire. Who else, hard to say, I think the critics tend to get it right most of the time.

    Best game you've seen?

    Love a good shoot out, I always gawk at Ablett kicking 14 and Salmon kicking 10 in the one match. Sadly Geelong lost but I think it's an all time record amount of goals by two players in a shootout.

    Most exciting team to watch

    I feel privileged to have witnessed so much magic from Geelong. 92 was a record season for goals scored by a club and in 07 was the biggest turn around from the AFL's dirge defensive era to a brave running bring it on style. Never thought I would see that recent one, but hasn't strategies...

    Where will tippet end up?

    Yeah that about sums it up. Actually how about this, Tippet is banned for 14 weeks, Swans save $500K (I believe they would anyway) and he still plays for the reigning premier in the finals. You are totally right, the Swans players are probably a bit upset they don't get a deserved premiership...

    Opinion Rank the AFL midfields

    It's tough but I think the four best are clearly in the top tier but each for different reasons: Hawthorn: May not look it on paper, but when you put them in a game they dominate with quick skills by hand and foot. They always seem to have a spare man or two available within 35m just when you...

    Your best 22 in 2013

    He's not bad, but I'd say far from the best. When I saw a stat that had him pretty low at not winning nor neutralizing one on one contests, I wasn't that surprised TBH. At the moment he's mainly there because his size matches up well with tall forwards, but I think he'll come under fire with...

    Where will tippet end up?

    Nice, it was a balsy move going straight to the reigning premier even if it may have been negotiated earlier in the year. Never good seeing a player abandon his club for one of the top sides. I'll have more respect for him if he develops GWS into a powerhouse rather than living off excess with...

    Could Hawthorn slide in 2013?

    It's a tough gig, there's 17 other teams all wanting top spot, anything can happen but I just can't go past brilliance the Hawks showed for a good part of the season. There's just no passengers in the team and it's pure class in it's execution. I can't see that after a heart breaking end that...

    Mega Thread Crows deal for Tippett lands them in hot water?

    IMO this is massively overblown. The AFL is so stringent that when it comes to enforcing policies it is ridiculous. I understand the salary issues but their needs to be greater consistency, it's very hard to see where this sits in with the big picture without a complete public audit. As for...
