Under Pressure - Billie Smedts
I thought Murdoch was a spud and wouldn't make it. Wondered why so many games were persisted, Didn't really do much for a long time. Had a bit of excitement which got him noticed, but never really did more. Then bang after playing 50 games and getting a lot of consistent games given, he is now a... -

Has Hamling improved?
Shattered he got delisted before he got a go. But if I do remember he did get close a few times to debut before he got injured. I thought he would be decent as he had some of the best defenders in Lonergan, Taylor and Enright to learn from while practice on Hawkins. I see him being very similar... -

Review AFL NAB Challenge 1 autopsy - Gold Coast defeats Geelong by 8 points
I'm a bit disappointed in some of the comments on Smedts. I think he did ok actually. Wasn't flashy like some other players but he was solid for a NAB cup game in the backline. The talk was their. His body positioning in contests looked better and the repeat efforts. Smedts did the little things... -

Opinion Dear Billie Smedts
I think everyone is being to harsh on Smedts. Lets look back at how he went 2010 - Drafted 2011 - Didn't play all year due to hip. Started preseason during the finals. 2012 - Like he said the expectations were to high on him and it got the better of him. He tried to do more than he could. 2013 -... -

2014 AFL Draft Combine
I want Conor McKenna. Irish kid but since we already have one he would go Rookie cat A, and wait till Blitz is officially promoted. -

Strategy Does Geelong play 'dumb' football?
I was going to make a tread about our game plan and where I think where we went wrong, but ill post it here. I think where we went wrong is that we have become to conservative and therefore our ball movement is slow. We need to go back to risk football. The style that won us 3 premierships and... -

List Mgmt. 2015 general list discussion and speculation - PLEASE START NEW THREAD ON BREAKING NEWS
Yeah Motlop is a deadset AA star but Boyd could be an AA key forward. Boyd and Shiel are not unproven, but I agree the Melbourne one would be the unproven risky one. -

List Mgmt. 2015 general list discussion and speculation - PLEASE START NEW THREAD ON BREAKING NEWS
Not trying to get rid of him. Love him. I dont think we will ever get a high pick to get a key forward like Tom Boyd. Also with how valuable Hawkins is to the team it wont be bad to start developing another key forward with all the new youth. Just throwing it out there. Food for thought. Im not... -

Opinion Dawson Simpson
But neither Simpson or Hmac are relief ruckman. They are both number 1 ruckman and they split the duties in half. Of course everything splits in Half. And Blitz is kind of the relief ruckman. Jumping has nothing really to do with the stat. If you watch closely the other ruckman jump past the... -

Opinion Dawson Simpson
First of all are you aware that Hmac has been playing with Dawson splitting the hit outs (sometimes Blitz takes away a few too). Also the 3 you named are all solo ruckman. -

Injury Nathan Vardy - recovery updates
I'm shattered but when I look back at last season Vardy wasn't a huge factor. Yes he helps but I don't think it means that's it. I think Scott and co will work it out. We were 2 meters from making the grandfinal, finished 2nd on the ladder after having no ruckman. The way Freo played we would... -

News 2014 preseason training updates
I think the outside perception of Billie is different to the internal one. I think some are too quick to judge him, just because of him making the media a couple times. He is 21 and just having fun. Also none of our other players have been as hyped up as him. He even said it got to him that...
