Opinion Selection and Geelong's best 22
Melbourne 22 plus Pods is the go The 22 who played against Melbourne was so good and so discilplined that it is going to be hard to change apart from Posiadly. That means if Mooney stays fit it is between him and Hawkins. I think West works well, he is strong and knows ruck work. Can take a... -

Preview AFL Round 19 - Geelong v Melbourne, Skilled Stadium, 2:10PM Saturday 30 July
Lot of tough hard bodies in that team - not many who do not go hard at ball and take no prisoners. May be a little slow but sufficient skill to overcome that particularly on the fairly narrow home ground. West is being given great chance - he showed he can really take a mark and is pretty... -

Preview AFL Round 18 - Geelong v Richmond, Etihad Stadium, 1:10PM Sunday 24 July
Last 3 games form has only been ordinary. There have been 4 or 5 changes every week. All very well rotating players but you need to settle team down so thay can get used to playing together. Resting would be great at work - "you take a week off mate you look tired Won't come off your pay."... -

Preview AFL Round 15 - Essendon v Geelong, Etihad Stadium, 7:10PM Saturday 2 July
Who is staying in the 22 What a great position to be in. Of the players that came in last week none played really badly but I would see Christensen and Brown as certain to stay in with perhaps Simpson being kept for Eagles the following week. If they rest anyone it will make it easier but... -

Huge Opportunity
With Ablett gone it makes it so much easier to keep players - there would have been major casualties if he had stayed with the salary cap. Plus the draft picks to be used at a crucial time and the chance to even trade a bit. It was always going to happen so if club is smart it can turn this... -

What was plan B
I accept defat but that was unbelievable. Lets be honest - Collingwood should have won by 15 goals. We never had a chance and did not at any stage seem to have another plan. We knew how they were going to play but did not have a clue how to deal with it. Either they are so good that they... -

Preview AFL 2nd Qualifying Final - Geelong v St Kilda, MCG, Friday 3 September 7:45PM
St Kilda $ 3.25 in final All the betting agencies have St Kilda around $3 .20 and Geelong around $1. 30. This appears a huge discrepancy. Clearly the money has been on Geelong. I hope they are right. The sides seem much more evenly matched than these prices suggest. -

Turnovers - Disposal Ratings
A lo of games are decided by turnovers and that is why disposal is so important. In my view the following are the best and worst at disposal. Worst - Blake, Lonergan, Wojinski, Hogan, Byrnes Best - Taylor, Ablett, Chapman, Hunt, Scarlett, Bartel, Milburn, Enright, Varcoe, (I cannot... -

Coaches Votes
I was watching the new show on Foxtel Insider and Brad Scott said he gave Ablett votes last week which meant that Thompson did not. Chapman and Pods received the 10 and 8 votes (meaning 5 and 4 from each coach). Chapman is well ahead of Ablett in overall voting - you would assume that would be... -

MRP / Trib. Is Bakes in trouble?
If Baker and his coach did not have a premeditated plan to take Johnson out unfairly I am a Dutchman. It was nonstop and the AFL has clearly said not on. If it had been another player with a temper Baker would have been king hit before half time. -

Forward Line Structure
It will be very interesting to see how Geelong sets up forward if they are able to get all players on the park. I always thought the 3 smalls - Varcoe Stokes and Byrnes along with the stars Chapman and Johnson may have been one too many. But they are playing so well and create so much forward... -
S
Shed a Senior Player
Brian Cook in an interview said that Geelong would have to shed a senior player if Ablett is retained and paid the "close to $1million" being reported. Not sure about this - it will cause some friction in the camp. A senior player clearly means a pretty highly paid one. Cannot imagine who... -

Josh Hunt kicking for goal
I would think most people would agree that Josh Hunt is probably the most accurate pass over a distance in the team. Used to think he would be great on half forward flank as would never miss shooting for goal. But it does not work that way - have seen him with set shots this year in NAB cup... -

Brian Taylor - a Hatred of Geelong
I had to turn the sound off Sunday - Brian Taylor's barracking was almost obscene - his hatred of Geelong was so stark. It reminded me of his outburst after Matty Stokes was charged earlier in the year when he said there were 4 more Geelong players in trouble over the issue. That sort of... -

Hinch and Brian Taylor bag Geelong
I see Derryn Hinch on his talkback show has questioned Geelong Football Club as not having learned any lessons from West Coast on drug issues. He states that James Kelly and Matty Stokes are co-owners of a club with a convicted drug dealer - and asks if this is the type of people Geelong want... -

Preview Captain in one month
I see in Advertiser that the club has said it will announce the captain in one month. After watching many games again over Christmas my view on the players that really showed leadership in crunch games such as Hawthorn St Kilda Bulldogs is that Selwood stood out - he was unbelievable in ferocity... -

No Chapman or Steve Johnson
I really believe that SJ and Chappy are absolutely crucial to the team. It is stating the obvious but if they had played the whole year they would have both been all Australians. When both are out the forward line drops in efficiency by a high multiplier - the entries into the forward 50... -

46 wins from 49 games (but who's counting?)
That makes 46 wins out of their last 49 games - what a ride. Not sure of the stats but there could not be any better. I thought at times Adelaide looked very dangerous - they seemed to zone off across half back and pick up stray kicks and then run the ball very well down the ground. A hard... -

The Official Speculation about who goes out for Chappy thread (merged)
Mike Sheahan on the one to go for Chapman In On the Couch Sheahan makes it clear that Travis Varcoe should be the first to go and questions Thompson's comments. It does worry me that Varcoe is regarded as a cert as the GF will be a real strong bodies contest - Travis may have played his best... -

Kelly Clearly Unlikley If You Heard Thompson
From what Bomber said there will not be 4 changes and Kelly has not ticked all the boxes - this may make it difficult for him to force his way back in on preliminary final day as it would mean he had not played for several weeks -. Team is therefore with 3 changes - in Rooke, Mackie and Wojiinski -

Only a six day break if we lose
As they play will probably play a game on a Friday and Saturday night or afternon next week Cats may be left with a six day break if lose. Even if they played on the Sunday next week that would mean six days before the prelim as they definitely play the two prelims so that there is 7 days... -

Mark Harvey and Robert Shaw - what a pair
Mark Harveys performance this year must go down as one of the worst coaching efforts for many years - with the talent they have got (they were 4th favourite for the flag before season started) their performances have been a disgrace. Clearly Harvey (and that bogan Shaw) believe we are still in... -

Scarlett injured - big lead lost - looks ordinary
Cats looked a million dollars early but North as they do have just kept at it Scarlett looks gone and Mooney and Ablett may come under notice. Ablett is just brillaint but some ordinary performers and North is very undermanned - a loss here will not be flash -

Carlton are $6.50 - seems way too high
I think Geelong will bounce back with much more focus but they ned to and are still no good things. Ottens will be sadly lacking in match fitness and will take several weeks. Chapman may be out again and he is a huge loss. The likes of Johnson and Ling seem as if they are not 100%. Carlton... -
