Training return: The first-to-fourth-year players will start pre-season training on Monday, November 5, while the rest are back on November 19.
Injury list: Ben Brown (hip) and Majak Daw (broken foot) will be restricted until after Christmas as they recover from respective surgeries, while...
Let me preface this by saying that it is not normally my style to write things this sappy (or lengthy) but this is important to me, so I hope you'll indulge me this once.
My father passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning after a lengthy battle with illness. He was far too young at...
Has anyone ever ordered a print from AFL Photos? I never have but I'm pretty keen to get a copy of this awesome Aaron Black photo from the weekend:

Just wondering if anyone has ever bought one and what the quality is like; they're...
Does anyone else see this? Geelong's 2006 was a frustrating and disappointing year that didn't live up to expectations. At the end of the year there were question marks over whether Thompson would be re-signed as coach or not.
Geelong finished the year in 10th spot just like us, and we all...

I kind of predicted this might happen. Our chances of making finals are very remote so it's probably best to get him into surgery ASAP to give him a chance of completing a pre-season for once.
With the season quickly coming to a close, it won't be long before some tough decisions will have to be made, and some players moved on, or offered up as currency to opposition clubs. We must make at least 3(?) changes to our senior list, so I thought I'd speculate on which players might not be...
Our three talls were largely ineffective today. Black kicked one goal but otherwise had little impact on the game. Tarrant had opportunities but couldn't hold marks that he should be taking and spraye the one very kickable shot at goal that he had. Petrie was double-teamed for the majority of...
So, after 14 games we sit 6-8 and 10th on the ladder. With 8 games remaining you'd think we could only afford to drop 2 more at the very most if we want to play finals. Our remaining matches:
Round 16 - Brisbane at the Gabba
Round 17- Carlton at Etihad
Round 18 - Melbourne at Etihad
Round 19 -...
Probably no great surprise, but he says that Daw will definitely play senior footy this year.
Also says that they're still looking for the right spot for McKenzie, and that Curran is basically being treated as a first-year player. Looks like a big lad though.

Interesting article that gives good insight into the routine of an elite player. Gives you a greater appreciation of a real professional like Drew in my opinion.
On my second attempt at watching this film I actually got through it this time, and I have to say that I found the film to be utterly boring. Does anyone else feel this way? I can't help but feel that the film's 'classic' status comes from being a product of its time that not feels dated, but...

Our best 22 for Round 1 2013 according to AFL.com.au. Thoughts? Any other players you think could push into the side? Maybe Gysberts instead of McKenzie?
