    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    I thought to myself it might be worth Berry being given a shot there. Similar dimensions to Starcevich, and we’ve got coverage for his midfield role with more on the way. That said, Brain impressed me when he got a run of games last year so he should be given a go whilst Answerth is out of the...

    Wonder if that means the industry scuttlebutt around Bailey being close to re-signing with us is on the money. Hopefully.

    I wonder how many people will get this one!

    Like the vast majority, I am fully supportive of the club’s approach to not trade Cal. It wasn’t that long ago that such was the state of our club we were forced/were desperate enough to accept watered down picks for players we’d only recently selected in the 1st round. We’ve shown we can’t be...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Very fair point - to be truthful I really can’t stand Hardwick so try and undermine his achievements as much as possible.

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    To be honest, Hardwick’s achievements as a coach have been aided by having accomplished assistants around him. Kingsley, Caracella, McRae, McQualter plus Balme, Leppa and Rutten. No surprises he is looking to bolster the ranks.

    We all remember how this ended for George, we best be cautious!

    Congrats to Oscar. Very rare that fairytales happen in footy, but he got to live out one. Producers for next year’s ‘Pound the Rock’ will be licking their lips over the narrative. Thinking there will definitely be one more from another club signed now based on the list spots we’ve got available.

    Replacing Starcevich - in terms of like-for-like quality - is going to be very difficult. It won’t be popular, but a one or two year stop gap might be Jed Bews. 186cm, has done roles in the past and would be gettable after playing 4 games this year. Brain should be given first crack, but Bews...

    Couldn’t agree more. Great hands, good both sides and hard as nails. Was probably best afield in the 2002 GF before he got injured. I loved watching him play. Im fairly certain I read it in Leigh’s autobiography, but there’s a great story about how we threw him a lifeline. We set up an...

    Geez, 37! He’s getting up there. Even more of a reason to add some options.

    Definitely, I think he’s shown promise and would benefit from a solid run in the seniors to lock down a spot.

    Didn’t realise he was that short, so definitely an Answerth replacement. With Payne and Answerth out for half the year, Starce maybe gone, Coleman and Doedee having fitness issues and Zorko turning 36, we are going to have to bolster the backline this trade period.

    Yeah that was my thinking too. If we were to receive pick 15 from the Eagles, I wonder if we’d trade it for a future first next year knowing the rules around academies will change. That way, we can secure Annable without having to outlay that pick, and use the future pick for any talent we...

    Preview Geelong. Grand Final. You know when. You know where.

    Reville should start on the ground. He was extremely reliable against the Pies. Great field kicking, strong over the ball and not overawed. I also thought Marshall showed us a glimpse of what is to come. Got his hands free to give handballs whilst being tackled and ran hard to make an option...
