    This was poor management. Any squad build ought to have at least 4 ready to go tall defender options. We had 5 last year (McKenzie and Clurey). We lost 3 tall backs (McKenzie, Clurey and K.Marshall) and brought in none. This is a mess of our own making- much like the ruck mess a few years back...

    They are really thin down back, having Esava and Aliir as their 2 x KPDs won’t strike much fear into their opponents.

    Player Watch Esava Ratugolea

    Playing rugby should give better ball handling skills, not worse. You don't catch a rugby ball; you've lost possession completely. Kicking is the biggest issue when transferring skills.

    Lets have a look. Zerk-Thatcher - 195cm Aliir - 194cm Bergman - 189cm Ratugolea - 197cm McLean - 197cm Bogan McDonald - 195cm Amartey - 195cm It's all a bit close really. I personally think tallness is a bit overrated in footy. I mean, you need it to be a key position, no doubt but Steven...

    Problem is, that back 6 gets destroyed by the teams with multiple tall 200cm forwards. Sydney for example, has 3 of them and made a mockery of our defence in the prelim. Aliir, BZT and Bergman are all undersized. We may not like it, but Esava is absolutely going to have to play back for a fair...

    Thanks for using our balls up once to justify it all. Both are off the books but were ****ed forever now

    Geelong rorting the system

    ...a long way when it comes to banking cap space so we can pay players to play for us. We hold players to their contract (eg Tim Kelly, Esava Ratugolea) so we don't have to pay them to play for the opposition. Secondly, we don't throw ridiculous amounts of money at free agents like Richmond did...

Punchline behind all that is it was a decent ruck draft with a few good talls late - Tim English, Sean Darcy, Esava Ratugolea and Darcy Cameron were all picked up as well as Nick Larkey and Mitchell Lewis. Just goes to show where a player is drafted doesn't mean jack once...

Geelong fans know what a truly great team looks like. 2007-11 we went 105-20. 84% win rate. 2017-20 we went...

    Port Adelaide youngster Joe Berry did his best impersonation of the man who drafted him at pre-season training at Alberton on Friday, power legend Robbie Gray.

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    The thing is our list management team clearly had the opposite view. That trading him for what we did was worth more than keeping him, otherwise they wouldn’t have done it. I see where people are coming from, and compared to the Rioli deal it was shit, but the club had to be ok with making it...

    News Dan Houston traded to Collingwood

    I think the problem with us is we get too far down the path when players want out, where as Geelong are more like meh you can make all the noise you like with your managers we'll look at it and it's benefits in our time and if it doesn't suit well stiff shit.

    ...months with 2 years remaining on his deal and tried again. In 12 months he's still worth more than pick 13 and Joe Richards. Note that Geelong did that with both Tim Kelly and Esava Ratugolea and still got good deals for both the following season without their culture being negatively effected.

    Opinion The Evolution of Your Best 23 for 2025

    I've been thinking about this and I think we have to start with Lord in that position, and give him 6-7 games to find his feet. If that doesn't work I think Visentini is genuinely the next best option. I've written Marshall, Finlayson and Esava off as genuine options if we want to go deep into...
