    Strategy Does Geelong play 'dumb' football?

    Great point - one thing that really disappointed me this year was that kick outs were invariably a bomb either to the flanks or down the middle, normally resulting in a contest where we'd break even at best. At worst, the kick would be rebounded to a loose forward inside 50. I think we missed...

    Not as much as you think... :) The good thing is I've already got my 3 rookie picks lined up - couldn't happen twice could it??? :eek:

    Next time I'll just pick three guys rated in the top 10 and leave it at that ... :D

    Are there any prizes for tipping three players who go un-drafted??? :oops:

    So am I right in saying the general consensus is that we would prefer to draft the next Tom Swift over the next Sam Mitchell??? ;) I just hope that the club's preference is to draft the best guy at playing football...

    Ok, for the meat tray... 16. Eli Templeton 36. Darcy Cameron 41. Nick Bourke ... and for the next 6 months the boards will be in melt down about how we overlooked Dunstan and Acres :D

    I think you guys are missing the point - if we need a mid, we'll draft a flanker and turn them into a mid. If we need a KPD, we'll draft a KPF and turn them into a defender. I suppose if we need a ruck, we'll draft a defender and turn them into ruck?;) I dunno, seem to work but it does my head...

    I'd love to see Lobb at the Cats, don't think we've had any Swan Districts players since O'Reilly and Handley... I have seen a few of his games in the WAFL, he definitely is a talent. He is still very much still learning the game, he would have been in the bests on a couple of occassions, but...

    Yeah, I agree, it is a generalisation for sure. But with speed I was more referring to their dexterity, reaction time, quickness of hands, decision making, etc - really assets that set Bundy apart. As opposed to say Duncan, who probably has equal top end pace as Bundy but his game is more based...

    Hey guys.. I've been staying out of this chat this year, mainly because I haven't seen as much of the prospects as I have some other years. But like most I have been thinking along the lines of our needs as 1. a big midfielder 2. key defender 3. a project ruck. So I was going to take a stab at...

    2 years on, what do you think of the Giants branding?

    I was at a sports store the other day and I really thought the Giants jumper stood out, and I had to admit it was probably the most modern and best looking of all the jumpers on display. I'm not a fan of the "Giants" name however, I think the name Walers as proposed at the time was a clear...

    Strategy New Direction

    Unless we win a flag next year, we'll probably never know if this is the right choice at the right time. I can't help but feel disappointed, as much as anything for the loss of identity of our club. I know the club is bigger than any player, but when you think of our successful era you can't...

    Great post... We don't need Everitt - better to back in one of our own - as we always do - rather than take a put on someone who hasn't been able to lock down a position at two different clubs.

    List Mgmt. Trade: Geelong trades James Podsiadly to Adelaide for National Draft 4th Round selection

    Really sad to see him go, he has really been a valuable player for us over the past few years and he just comes across as a really likeable bloke on and off the field. He'll be missed in my household, my youngest will have to learn the name of another player as she always cheers "go Pods", even...
