Not the first time he has been dishonest. Jake Niall gave him a serve in today's Age - remember how much Bomber detested Caroline Wilson (regardless of your opinion of her) because she all but called him a liar in 2007 about his lack of accountability in 2006 and his refusal, initially, to be...
He was not at his best against Melbourne (he had a few mates in the same boat!) - but why would you drop him? If anyone had watched the insipid performance by Geelong's VFL side recently you would have to say that there is no-one there who appears to be playing for a spot in the Senior side!
I was not 'horrified' - certainly disappointed with many of our players. You could see Carlton tiring and we had a chance to really show our mettle and fell a long way short. Dasher was indecisive, Hunt slow and well out of it, Rooke unfit, Byrnes pathetic, Hawkins, well... he was Hawkins. Pods...
Re: Photos from the GF
This one of the Premiership Cup is a revelation - from where we were sitting on Level 1 no-one had any idea what it was - hundreds of kids carrying boards, the whole picture visible only to the upper levels and the helicopter pilot. (How good was the Qantas flyover!:))

Sorry - I see slatterymedia mentioned above!

Interesting poll results - our increase is remarkable - always thought that there thousands of 'dormant' Geelong supporters.:thumbsu:
No! Worse than Richmond, by far!!! This looked like our 2006 'efforts' all over again. Don't be surprised if Melbourne run all over us with a 'nothing to lose' attack.
Re: Grant Thomas Article
Another "Look what I did when I was there - they're now reaping the rewards" dose of Grant Thomas bilge. Best ignored if you can't laugh at his arrogance.;)
Perhaps Blake didn't step up but why tell us the obvious? Mumford shows some spark but Blake and Hawkins are...
FGS, Hawthorn were keener and made fewer mistakes - pressure applies to both sides and I don't think we wilted under it - we reverted to a selfish style of a play. So many mistakes - watch the replay once (that is enough) without the commentary - that is when you wonder what is going through...
I'd thought of all sorts of things to say on BF today about P.A. and their misplaced aggression - and there it was in Jake Niall's article - good to see it all here. Thanks Winty!:thumbsu:
The Pies supporters around us (a lot of them) were actually far more good-natured than most I've had the misfortune to be near in the past. Dozens of emails I can just delete but I can't delete a big mouth sitting next to me - they were mainly young people and were genuinely astonished at our...
Re: our fans expect to much
We have every right to expect nothing less than 100% effort - I don't think we expect TOO much! Our slow starts are a worry - centre clearances could be better, some periods of slack play, and Blakey is not starring - these are not destructive criticisms - just...
He turns 22 during the year - one of the reasons he looks so comfortable - mature in body and attitude. Great pick up for us. Impressed us when we first saw him play.:thumbsu:
All families are complex - and the Ablett family is doubly so - and under such scrutiny that it could not function in the way we might expect anyway. I was never a great fan of the old man as a character, despite his amazing talent, and his sons have shown that they are individuals with...
Most of us who follow footy do not want to see North disappear but at the end of the day we must be realistic. I've been looking on BF(unsuccessfully) for the estimated supporter base for each club and I think I'm right in saying that the Roos' had the lowest - so forget the rubbish about dogs...
Re: Do u like the new logos?
Bottom right hand logo will do me. I hate Geelong Cats, Melbourne Demons - Hawthorn Hawks??? Tassie Hawks or whatever. Sydney Swans are Sydney OR the Swans. "We are Geelong!"
We used to be criticised for being "noble in defeat" and now people are sticking in the boots for being "noble in victory" and actually doing something worthwhile for former players - and despite our personal reservations about each one, they have all contributed to our being on top now. I...
When Tredrea was having his head bandaged and my 5 year old said."Why don't they put it round his mouth too?"
Chappy's screamer?
Nablett's one-hander?
The players making me bawl after the siren!
I add my retraction for all I said by way of condemnation during 2006 - I don't care if it was warranted now! You have earned our admiration this year and good on you! One of the happiest days of my life - thanks, Bomber.:thumbsu:
