MRP / Trib. Dane Rampe Suspension?
Left the ground. Extended forearm. High contact. It will hinge on Careless or Intentional. Low impact, High Contact for sure. If it’s intentional he gets 1 match. He also has form over last years hit against a Bulldogs player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Opinion This year’s Geelong team is different…
Every year, each team needs to improve just to stay in the pack. It’s my feeling now that Geelong has improved significantly, but more importantly, there is a marked difference to the Geelong teams of the last 4-5 years. The game plan is not as predictable. It is more daring. The forward line... -

No Line Coaching Roles for Assistants in 2022 at GFC AFL
So GFC have confirmed there will be no line coaches at the AFL club this year. This is a radical departure from conventional AFL coaching practice and accepted wisdom! CS confirmed coaching duties will be spread across the coaching group instead of Forwards, Midfields and Defenders. I can see... -
2022-Where’s the improvement coming from?
So looking like negotiating Trade relatively uneventfully, where does the necessary improvement come from in 2022? Consistent availability, especially at Finals time, from: Cameron Duncan Dangerfield Stewart O’Connor (Needs to be given a consistent role. Obviously highly rated as a player and... -
Idea for “Home Crowd Vibe” at GMHBA
How about the club finds 12 large families of Cats supporters and mics them up. Mix it all together remotely and pump it loud on the ground speakers along with the video them on the screens? It could be recorded on phones like they often do on H &A games and streamed to the central AV centre... -

Roast Champion Data Rates Geelong As the 3rd Worst Defence In The AFL!
In a controversial move Geelong’s defence is statistically ranked the third-worst given an even crop that does not rack up huge ranking points. In the AFL Prospectus, Champion Data acknowledged Geelong’s defence has been the stingiest since 2009. “Harry Taylor rates above average on our list... -
Prediction Geelong v Richmond Rd 21 could decide the Brownlow
With Dustin Martin and Paddy Dangerfield going punch for punch in the Coaches Award and quite possibly the Brownlow voting, this game at Simonds Stadium in Rd 21 shapes as critical for the Brownlow result. A convincing win either way by either side may be a deciding factor. The Brownlow... -
Opinion Will the Essendon loss prove to be 2007 North loss re-visited?
Something has profoundly changed since that loss and it's abysmal tackling statistics. I wonder if internally the penny has finally dropped for the 2nd tier players as to what it takes to be a serious Premiership contender? I remember it was also when SJ returned against 'that" win over Richmond... -

List Mgmt. Will Free Agency turn AFL into EPL?
It seems the pattern for Free Agents so far is for players with a long history at under-achieving clubs will forego a small amount of potential salary to go to "Premiership Window" clubs. I suspect this will mean clubs like Geelong, Sydney, and Hawthorn will get to cherry-pick disgruntled elite... -

MRP / Trib. AFL Round 3 findings - Taylor Adams offered one match ban for rough conduct on Joel Selwood
So arguably the hardest player in the AFL is incapacitated with a head high bump 10 meters off the ball and it's deemed Low Impact?? I'm happy for Taylor Adams to just miss a week, but in light of some our recent rub-outs this seems an odd ruling to assert you can nearly knock out Sel with a low... -

Strategy The importance of our rucks this September
I think it was clear that with Dawson Simpson's emergence as a genuine 1st ruck option, a significant piece of our structural puzzle fell into place. Now that Simpson is injured we must shuffle the deck-chairs a bit, given that our other 1st rock option in HMac seems unlikely to play. How does... -
Roast Interchange Error
The possible ramifications for Saturday's monumental error by the interchange mistake are profound. Fortunately for the AFL, the game was won by Geelong, and not lost by under 6 points. I venture to suggest that had that been the case GFC could well have mounted a legal challenge to the result... -
Toast Allen "Bundy" Christensen - 50 games
