Preview QF2: Geelong vs Brisbane, Friday 5th Sept 7:40pm at MCG
What is Jhye Clarke’s “0ne wood” exactly. He does everything “okay”, but is too small, not overly quick, lacks penetrating in his kicking. I think the club was seduced at the draft by his “Selwoodness” but it turns out he’s “Temu Joel”!!! Please prove me wrong, Jhye! I really do wish you all the... -

Review Cats spay Demons by 39 points.
198 or 199cm, depending on who you ask. Either way…bloody huge! And an athletic, aerobic beats. Compared by both PD and CS to Blicavs athletically. But taller. I would compare his footy IQ to Matthew Egan. Seems intelligent and humble in interviews. Expect 200+ games in the hoops. Sent from... -
Preview Rd 3 Geelong V Brisbane Sat Mar 29 2025 735 pm @ Gabba
More likely that Zuthrie fills the Stewart role. He’s pretty much a clone. Agreed that Bowes goes back. Smith in is an upgrade to Mullin. I believe, like many others here, that Atkins, Mullin and O’Connor gives us to many non-influencers in the team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Training 2025 Pre-Season chat
So with our first game now being next Saturday v Freo at GMHBA, who comes into the frame for selection who wasn’t for the Brisbane game? Smith? Mannagh? Bruhn? Stanley? C. Guthrie? O. Henry? (I seem to remember he picked up a niggle in the pre-season matches) Conway (I think he’s a while off)... -
Game Day Geelong -v- Essendon 25 February 2025 at KP, 7:20pm - AAMI Community Series.
I think I saw CS say somewhere today that Danger may play a GAS FF role out of the goal square. In fact a similar location/position to Hawkins. Don’t mind it. Obviously he’d be released into the guts on occasion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Look where they got their goals from. 15-30 metres out dead in front or near to. They weren’t kicking a lot from the boundary or outside 50. Says more about us showing a lack of cohesion from mf pushing back, than stellar kicking from Bombers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I feel like if anything lost us the PF it was Holmes injury. Stanley was fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 1
Absolutely true that most draftees don’t have long term sustainable AFL careers at an elite level, but many of those can play 2nd tier semi-pro alongside their day-jobs and do well, without the mind-blowing physical demands of AFL. Anyone who’s even played a handful of games at the elite level... -

Sure! Throw Knevitt, Miers, O’Connor, Blicavs, et al in there for the odd CBA as well. A LOT of flexibility. Smiths line breaking capabilities will definitely add another dimension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
