    Have Geelong sold their future?

    The draft is a lottery, more so in weak years. With this trade period we have locked in 3-4 best 22 players, one being top 5 in the league. Not only that, we addressed an area we were lacking in - contested possessions. We get Zac Smith and we might be looking back in 5-6 years time speaking...

    List Mgmt. OFFICIAL: Henderson to Geelong for 2016 first pick

    With possibly 1st and 2nd rounds picks earmarked for PD and 2016 2nd rounder for Zac Smith there is not much left we can trade for Lachie. However, now that PD is looking like getting here on a trade it means we can craft his contract however we like. Instead of front loading it we can backend...

    Ladder Predictor 2015

    There is a way into finals even if Adelaide beat West Coast, but its tough. Geelong beat Collingwood by 70pts and beat Adelaide by 30pts North lose to Bulldogs by 25pts and lose to Richmond by 30pts We'd then get in on % over North

    News Geelong's position in Essendon investigation and ACC report

    Read between the lines people. Bomber Thompson comes out the other day and implicitly slams Hird saying the playing group are "drowning". Then today we have this ridiculous article disparaging Bomber's era at the Cats. Very transparent from the Hird camp.

    Opinion Mark Blicavs

    Anyone notice that Blitz had some seriously good hitouts to advantage against Haw? One from a centre bounce from memory and was timing his jumps better.

    Review AFL Round 22 autopsy - Hawthorn defeats Geelong by 23 points

    There is no doubt that neither team brought their "A Game". But I would say that Hawthorn employed slightly more endeavor after half time. Also, look at the game closely, luck played a huge part in the momentum swings during certain periods. Geelong in the first half (some lucky umpiring)...

    Analysis Break out moments, break out games

    Remember it well as I was at the game. Round 11 2004 and in the same week Riewoldt took a crazy mark running with the flight against Sydney. So jimmy didn't get a look in. That game really started a great run of form leading to 2004 PF. Great break out moment for Jimmy and the team.

    Opinion Mark Blicavs

    Gerard Healy is an astute judge. However if I was an analyst in an opposition team I wouldn't necessarily be making it a high priority to formulate a plan for him - at this stage he is playing an important role, but he is not overtly dangerous. If he can force the opposition to pay him respect...

    Analysis Break out moments, break out games

    I have a theory on how players transition from being a fringe 22 player to a best 18 player. We all know that players can have "break out" games which, from that point on means they become a permanent selection in the best 18. The classic example is Tom Hawkins 2011 GF match, from that point...

    MRP / Trib. AFL Round 20 charges - Steve Johnson cleared of misconduct for kneeing Scott Thompson

    Funny, whenever we play Freo we seem to lose players at the tribunal: Stevie J 2012 - EFinal next week v Freo Chappy 2013 - QFinal next week v Freo Stevie J 2014 - Playoff for double chance v Freo

    List Mgmt. 2014 list discussion - drafts, free agents, trades, retirees, delistings and more

    Was disapointed he didn't actually do more "leading" on Sunday. He should model his game on someone like Stuart Crameri or may I even suggest Jason Dunstall?? He has the right mix of attributes, and kicks the ball as good as anyone in the team. To me he needs to maybe drop a couple kgs which...

    2nds VFL Grand Final - Geelong v Box Hill, Etihad Stadium, 2:10PM Sunday 22 September

    Is the roof open or closed today?

    MRP / Trib. AFL 2nd Semi Final findings - Paul Chapman accepts one-week ban for bump on Robbie Gray

    OK, let's cop it on the chin and win this for Chappy. However, the AFL have boxed themselves in a corner now. There can be no GF leniency for any player that leaves the ground and makes high contact. I will lose my $h1t if that Dawson flog does something similar and gets a leave pass for the GF
