How i look at it - Geelong has had 2 distinct eras 1962 to 1969 and 2007-2014
From 1962 to 1969 - Geelong had a very strong side - made the finals every year - won 1 premiership - and lost one GF narrowly- definitely underachieved - could quite easily have won 3 or 4 premierships
That era...
The team is playing tremendous football and thoroughly deserve to be 6 -0
But this year so far i think we are getting a beautiful run from the umpires and no Geelong supporter can complain about the umpiring this year
Dont get me wrong -if we make the grand final i want Geelong to get 50...
Been reading Tim Watsons book on Malcolm Blight
Interesting that Blights biggest regret at Geelong-is his preparation of the side for the 1994 Grand Final
Before i mention what he said -94 and 95 gfs we got thumped in both -ive allways thought that 95 was a disgraceful shameful effort -where...
It would be interesting to know what other Geelong supporters thought of Jacko as a Geelong player -i thought he was Ok
Obviously he wasnt anywhere near the class of players such as Mooney , Hawkins and Stoneham but i think he was superior as a forward to players such as Mensch, Handley...
Id be really interested to know who (if any) was the last side to beat Hawthorn 10 in a row.
Ive been watching the last qtr of both wins in 2012 against Hawthorn over and over again - in the holiday period-never get sick of it -because there both great games-and great wins .
If it does...
I reckon that was the most chilling Homicide of the lot . Must have been late 70s or around that time-i was living in Melbourne -never forget it -basically just gripped Melbourne in fear
Even the name of the street gives you the creeps -i mean if it was Smith St or Johnson St Collingwood -you...
I havent gone to a game at MCG for many years -because i dont live in Victoria -but what is it about the MCG city end goals
Every time a team gets jumped at the start -99% of the time -the team dominating are kicking to the city end goals
Examples -Saturday nights game . The 2nd game...
Great article in The West Australian by Prickly Mick (hes got a weekly column) this week on teams recruiting -gives a big wrap to Wells .Mick is Brutal on his assessment of some teams -which is great to see . Excellent article -dont know how to download -someone will know how -well worth a read
I see Ken Judge has had a relapse with his bone Cancer -so like anybody in that situation i wish him the best
However i think Judge is one of the best football journalists in the business -when we got on our run in 2007 he wrote one of the best ever articles written about Geelong that i...
Next Year Season 2012
You read about all these coaching changes for next year -like Sando is allready a hero at the Crows-what did he say -there will be an immediate upward Spike . Watters is going to rejuvinate the Saints-like Scott did with Geelong according to captain Nick. McCartney says...
Cannot believe a guy with all his assets ie pace -break the lines -penertrating kick etc how under utilized his time at Geelong has been
Pity Chris Scott didnt coach him for his entire career -and he might have been a superstar . Mark Thompson for some idiotic reason didnt rate him -i will...
Billy Goggin - 1980 late in year playing Melbourne at MCG. We were 2nd on ladder behind Richmond and Melbourne were what they have been for 40 years-shocking. Went to game with a bloke i worked with ,who was a Melbourne tragic and MCC member . MCC members could invite you in -signed the visitors...
Wallsy been in the news abit with the Dawson thing. Personally i think he is a terriffic commentator .
Multiple premiership player and coach -that gives him credability -bit like to listening to Nick Faldo and Johny Miller at the golf -both major winners etc.
Why i like Wallsy is i believe...
Alot of credit has been given to Thompson and now Scott -but Stephen Wells has to get the most credit -hes the architect -hes plucked blokes from all over Australia- icluding far flung places to put this great side together. Ill tell you a quick true story about one players background
