2023 Leadership geoup
Captain: Alex Pearce
Vice Captains: Serong and Brayshaw
Leadership group: Young, Switkowski, JOM
I don’t have a really strong opinion on the captain, I thought Alex Pearce had a very poor year form wise. I’ve no idea whether he lead well.
IMO captain has to come from...
I’m a member, want to buy some extra tickets for my kids for Collingwood game. I’m a bit confused. Purple army members from 10am today and general admission from 12pm? Do I have access now to tickets?
I might be jumping the gun :) but apparently we are welcoming an Irish recruit.
We need some luck 🍀

As we enter the draft and trading period....Jeremy Cameron has announced his intention to join Geelong. Joe Daniher aims...
For weeks we’ve heard the mutterings, Blakeley in the middle. S.Hill in the guts. Both options worked. I think I called for (and a few others) S.Kersten to the backline for a while, looks like a positive for mine, though I’m tempered in my expectations.
What other moves would you get the...
Is the difference between picks 5, 23, 41 versus 15, 33 and 51 really going to bring the 4th place side back into line with the 13th team?
The draft though weighted towards the lower teams, doesn’t do enough to equalize lists.
I propose the ten teams that miss the 8, get 2 picks before the...
Does anyone get the feeling Ethan Hughes is the next Sam Menagola.
Bit of a blunt instrument but size wise could be a wrecking ball, he runs all day. Would monster most midfielders.
I get the feeling coaches pigeon hole players a lot, I bet Sam Collins gets drafted this year. And makes it,
Best 22 / round 1 team (arguable - more a demonstration of depth, and you know the coach is gonna go for experience in round 1).

Does anyone remember the gif of Jake Carlisle as a girl, being courted by Saints coach, then Al Clarkson walking in and taking the girl. Set in some 90/80's movie house party.
Does anyone here do gifs / photoshopping for cash?
Luke Ryan 186cm, weight 85km. Hell of a distance to be weighed.
Luke Strnadica: height 200kg. How tall is a kilogram?
Uebergang nearly as tall as Strnadica at 194kg.
Love it. Editor needs a kick in the ass.
I'm trying to recall the details of how our club was set up.
So far I have the following:
Key Appointments:
Phil Smart – recruiting manager (no experience in recruiting, a colts coach from Claremont), appointed 1st September 1994. Appointed 2 months prior to the inaugural draft.
Gerald Neesham...
Which of our senior players is getting married? Reported in the media this player invited "all senior players" bar Fyfe to the wedding. I know Suban got married recently, I think Spurr may be engaged, but not certain. Anyone able to figure it out?
Apparently Spurr's wedding has already...
Lock him in. A.Pearce injured and Dawson almost certain to be suspended. Mundy with a calf leaves us no-one over 190cm down back.
Enter the fray Mr. Collins !!
In simplistic terms, it's unlikely for a first year player to break into a team. It's also unlikely that a player mid career loses their spot in the 22. I'm not saying it's impossible, far from it. Just most of the 22 (i.e. 15-18) will be stable year to year.
If you examine retirements /...
if State of origin ever came back. Would this WA side be capable of knocking off the Vic's in 2016?

I have no voice this morning and had a restless nights sleep. I'm proud to be part of a fanatical crowd at its loudest. 1-2 individual morons can not take away from the amazing atmosphere last night. We were meek against Sydney but brought the passion last night, we were loud and the freo chant...
Who's clutch? Who has that innate ability to step up in finals. Make the right decision. Who excels under pressure?
1. Michael Walters. I can't remember a final where he performed below par. Kicks goals, out smarts defenders, rises to the occasion.
2. David Mundy. Gun. Can look laconic from...

Quite enjoyed seeing Sandilands angry after Puopolo kneed Sutcliffe in the head. Wrestled the ball of muscle to the floor, stood up, towered over him and yelled "I will smash you" right in his face.
I thought he should of said I have smashed you. Was close to best on ground the big Sandiman.
Our rookies have been frequenting the club plus a few others. Seen Clancee & Ibbo around the traps, probably getting rehabbed. Moller, Menagola, Duffy and Taberner spotted. Taberner has put on some fair size, I wouldn't worry too much about our key forward depth.
Well not a lot to be said really, we took over a half-baked team and got a half baked result.
Positives:
1) Josh Simpson is too nimble for mere mortals, he's got moves beyond expectation, his handball feigns create him space on the football field in the tightest of situations. The feigning...
Last question of the post-match interview:
"Playing three of the bottom teams in the last month, would you consider resting some of your more sore players?
We’ll have a discussion. GWS have had a really good win today, we understand they are young. Port Adelaide, Melbourne have had their...
The guy has been in and out of the team since early 2012. Form has been hot and cold, he's been thrown forward then moved back. He was excellent on the weekend. Took several contested marks, laid strong spoils and left his man to apply a zone defense effectively.
Darling kicked 5 but not all...
