    Annual time honoured draft prediction thread

    Ok, it’s time again to post the names of every player that won’t be drafted by Wells. Predict the Cars draft - including trades if you think there’s a likelihood of it occurring. As per usual closest to the pin wins sfa other than the admiration of their fellow posters. Rules - 10 points for...

    AFL draft prediction competition 2023

    That time of the year again to pretend you are Stephen Wells and predict the names we might call over the draft. Our current pick numbers are 8, 25, 70, 75, 79. I doubt we take less than 4 players or more than 5. With academy bids those numbers will change which is impossible to predict so for...

    The time honoured annual 2022 AFL Draft prediction competition

    Bit easier this year. Only 2 picks to worry about. Your predictions please - 7 - Jhye Clark 58 - James Van Es Edit - for those wondering about prizes, sometimes in life it’s better just to enjoy the admiration of your peers for 12 months rather than to have a more materialistic reward. Edit...

    Best Geelong team in my time watching the Cats

    With the Board struggling to fill the gap caused by the pre finals bye thought I’d put together my best Cats team since I first started supporting them in the late 70’s. My earliest memory of GFC was a game with names such as Larry Donohue, Ken Newland and David Manson. I really developed my...

    2021 AFL Draft

    Well, we've seen the rear end of the 2020 trade and draft periods - now to move on to next year. With our midfield something like Dad's Army, it would be fair to say that you'd expect that we'd be targeting either through, trade or the draft, midfielders, midfielders and more midfielders. All...

    C.Guthrie v Menegola

    With spots in our 22 becoming more competitive with the inclusions of Rohan, Dahlhaus, Constable, Miers and Clark from last years team it may well be that these two (Menegola and C.Guthrie) may find themselves competing for the same midfield spot. Who would you prefer?

    GFC ongoing rebuild

    I've been a bit critical of some of the choices we've made in the past few years at the ND but I think Wells pretty much nailed it last Friday. I felt this season that our youth depth was below par. That we may have been on the edge of a cliff (may have used that term a couple of times..)...

    Summer Rio 2016 - Sailing

    Haven't seen a dedicated thread for a sport that often goes under the radar in terms of media coverage despite our success in Olympic Games. So far in Rio it appears the same trend is occurring. Coming into the last days of competition Australia is well placed again to pick up several medals in...

    Our best 22 coming into finals

    Posted this in the most recent VFL thread: "I recall last year catempire had a thread with the locks and the possibles with our 22. Probably not a bad time to kick it off again? For me the locks are: B: Enright, Lonergan, HB: Henderson, Taylor, Mackie C: Cockatoo, Duncan, Guthrie HF...

    ***2015 AFL draft comp***

    Seeing we can hear crickets and see tumbleweeds blowing past our board at the moment, why don't we fire up the old draft comp? You don't need to be a draft expert to win this - if you're not familiar with any of the kid's names then just choose your favourite name or the equivalent of Prince of...

    2015 Potential Draftee and Trade Watch

    With the season commencing thought it time to kick our time honoured thread off for the year. I see that Knightmare has already started throwing some names together in his thread on the D&T board. Clearly the potential FA addition of Dangerfield will dominate the GFC discussion this year. But...

    Review 2014 AFL Rookie Draft - Wednesday 3 December

    No time to rest. The rookie draft is only a week away! Any ideas as to names or types of players we may look at? Some "names" that missed out at the ND include Daniel Capiron, Peter Bampton, Tyler Keitel, Keenan Ramsay, Oleg Markov, Aiden Anderson, Hugh Beasley, Josh Glenn, Jesse Watchman...

    Sandown Guineas Day

    Spring carnival not quite over yet! Anyone have any early thoughts on this Sat. Thought that Green Moon looked a nice bet in the Zipping Classic. Not a great WFA field. Been freshened up. Reckon this is a race that Lloyd would love to win with this horse.

    George Horlin-Smith rnd 4 Rising Star nomination

    Haven't seen a thread to announce his nomination on the main board so here it is. Well done George on a great game against the Swans. Displayed a maturity on the ground beyond his years. A very composed player whose strength is his ability to win contested footy in the stoppages. Not a race...

    Improvements to players' games you want to see

    Name a player and the improvements you want to see to their game. I'll start: Steven Motlop: I'd like to see Steven stay involved in the game more in 2013. He is capable of the brilliant and may show it a few times a game but there are large periods where he goes missing. He needs to improve...

    Who will be the next washed up player that the hawks take?

    The delusional pigmy has traded for both Cameron Bruce and Shaun Burgoyne in recent years in the hope that the Hawks would bring home the flag. A first round pick (9) was even given up for Burgoyne who surely is on his last season. Bruce was on his way to a retirement village when he received...

    Where's Breust? (again...)

    Keep reading that this guy is the new messiah. That he will tear us apart. That he makes the likes of Steve Johnson look ordinary. In the words of that noted philosopher Lara Bingle, "Where the bloody hell are ya (Breust)!!"

    Average age of playing lists in 2012

    Now that the team lists are finalised for 2012 it's normally about now we start the annual wankfest over which team has the younger list by 2 months, thereby giving some here a bizaar reckoning that their team clearly are at a different stage of development than a team with an average age 4...

    List analysis and future directions

    I thought with the 2011 draft now complete it may be an opportunity to take stock, examine our current list - where we are strong, what type of players may need to target in the coming years and what a future team may look a little like. Firstly lets look at our current list and sort it into...

    Was Punky Breuster a late withdrawal last night?

    All year we've been hearing that this kid is the second coming. Looked for him to light up the stage last night but he clearly must have not been out there. I assume that we can add this to the rest of the excuses for you guys being flogged last night?

    Song title?

    Trying to find the title of a song - only words I think I know lead up to the chorus: I think it goes something like, "people always talk about, talk about" and then the male singer sings something indecipherable.. It's a modern song - probably only a year or two old I would think. Music is...

    A beautiful 24 hours

    First Mick destabilises the club by not committing to stay on in 2011 and now Heathy has effectively demanded that Eddie sack him... Reminiscent of a political party that has been in power for too long - get cocky, cracks appear that turn quickly into chasms. Except that the pies have only...

    Steve Johnson's sledge

    Told his opponent Campbell Brown on Sat night that "I accept cash or card" on numerous occasions during the night. Brown had no idea what SJ was on about and questioned Gary Ablett after the game. Ablett chuckled and told Brown that the payment was for front row seats at the Stevie J show...

    Vlad's hypocrisy

    Says it's a disgrace that many kids these days can't do a sit up. This coming from a guy who probably hasn't been able to see his weaner for the last 10 years let alone do a sit up. Hardly the poster boy for childrens health.

    Neil Pearson passes

    Hi, I thought would let you know that one of your champion former players passed away on Wednesday. Neil was a wonderful person who I had a little bit to do with in his later years. He loved his hawks but was frustrated in the way the modern game was played. I'm not sure how many games he...

    Our future engine room.

    Although the jury is well and truly out for most of these guys if Wells has struck gold again we may be able to replace one of the all time great midfields with a more than handy lineup in its own right within only a few short years: From: Ablett, Ling, Corey, Bartel, Selwood, Enright, Chapman...
