Little bit naive this from Christensen I believe, I would imagine the AFL will not be happy he is admitting to five concussions in a single season. Nor will Geelong. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/ko-cat-stays-headstrong-on-injuries-20120816-24bhu.html There are of course degrees of...

I think Hawthorn has the best list in the League. With the huge amount of injuries they have suffered, they roll ominously on. I am certain Collingwood would not cope with this amount of injuries and I doubt Geelong would. I think 09 and 10 were the outliers, not 08, and they are an...

Ling was inspirational tonight, leading from the front with star players missing. He is a Geelong legend and a champion leader. Those who called for his beautiful flame topped head, hang your head in shame.

Is now a gun defender, not just a stopper but also an athletic gorillia and composed on the ball. I apologise to Tommy and our departed coach Bomber who showed faith him. I was wrong!

Correct call I think: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/lions-pounce-on-draft-bonus/story-e6frf9jf-1226026255341 But is this right? Geelong Cats – end round one selection (compensation for the loss of Gary Ablett). I thought our remaining pick was after our first round pick...

Anyone heard about this?

Following Lonergan’s simply outstanding performance tonight at CHB and Blake’s effort in the ruck, it got me thinking about Bomber’s amazing ability to coax the best out of our players. These two can now be added to the long line of players, I and most people, thought were not good enough to...

http://www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/in-the-red-dirt-demon-president-delivers-on-promise/2009/11/13/1258043793893.html Martin, Martin, Martin, we get that this is a story you like. I agree that as a story it has the neccesary relevence, wider socio-political implications, romance and even a...

He is the best Geelong player I have ever seen. I rate him the equal of Ablett Senior. No player has a greater influence over a team than his of Geelong. He has been our best player for 8 straight years. Any discussions of All Australian full back should be shelved after today. He is a genius.

Can someone with some familiarity of the situation please explain the Ranga Ediriwickrama story. I understand he is tied to Geelong through some program and we can take him in the draft? Is it this years draft? What round? Is he any good? How good? I am at a loss to work out how Geelong...

Though on the west London hoops, QPR, not our hoops, a good article on message boards etc, which may be of interest. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/02/08/my_secret_addiction_to_message.html

I am not one to indulge in sentiment, but seeing King in the stands today was one part of today that hurt. He should be brought back in, Blake was servicable, but King is a former captain, once our best player and running mate of Milburn, Harley and Scarlett for a decade. He deserves his...

Any of you draft aficionados have a opinion of this kid. I hear Geelong are very interested in him despite the poor carnival and is in the frame for pick 7. Looking through the various profiles most have him pegged as a second round but he wont last till 23 according to my mail and we all...

Any interest in the discarded don? Ex Geelong boy via Essendon surely to spark our club's interest. Better player than Sam Hunt would rather draft Joel than promote Hunt. Has played a lot a senior footy for a young guy who has had a terrible run with injuries and illness. Has ability...

What has happened to this guy? He does not look likely to figure in the Eagles team on Saturday? I have always been a fan of him, good hands, chases tackles, kicks goals. Has he been injured or has his lost his way? Perhaps a change of scenery will spark this explosive indigenous talent...

Sorry posting from abroad. Searching for positives? Any of the youngsters show something?

Credit where credit is due, normally his analysis is mean spirited and reactionary, this effort is a bulls eye. He is spot on all points, I would venture. The point about Ling, the Big Heads, Ablett, Kelly and Johnson and showing some dare are exactly what need to get through to the match...

As our friends in China well know it is the Year of the Dog this year and so it will be in the AFL. I think he is ready to explode as the matchwinner we know he is. Please post all Steve Johnson news and performance reviews here. Thankyou

For those looking to end the carnival on a high, have a very large wager on Testafiable tommorow. It would be the shock of my punting life if it does not win. If ever there was a special on form it is this. If it was Freedman it would be paying $1.50, currently getting $3.00. I was lucky...

MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE The AFL wishes to advise the following unlisted players have been given permission to train with the following AFL clubs, as at today, Monday November 7. Adelaide - nil Brisbane Lions - Ben Fixter, Sydney. Carlton - Dylan...

Ryan O'Keefe will most likely be in either the red and black or black and white. He wishes to return home and these clubs have the funds to accommodate him. He is meeting with Essendon this week. My trusted sources at Essendon believe they can get him and are more concerned about Collingwood...

The swans are pretenders and can only dominate poor teams. Their abysmal finals record will continue on Firday night. Have a look at these pathetic performances against top 8 teams this year 5 wins 7 losses. The much hyped swans forward line has kicked more than 10 goals against top 8 teams...

Interesting programing to have a metro strength meeting at a provincial track on a Friday. But I like it. I will be searching for a QUADDIE to get some folding for Saturday. As the well respected poster BMOC said to me earlier today, "Friday quads always have BIG POOLS given the fact that...

Tom Hawkins has earnt a gong at the prestigious AIS Under 17 Academy, rating him in the top 25 junior players in the COUNTRY

May I preface this by saying that Stephen Wells has been a wonderful servant of the GFC and has done a superb job. He has drafted exceptionally well with his late selections. However, like all recruiters he has his bias and I think it has now created a glaring structural problem in our squad...

Essendon are considering taking an international Rookie. The young lad is an Ethiopian and from all reports is training the house down. An incredible athlete he has represented Ethiopia in a number of sports at junior level and has come to Australia for a chance at AFL. Sheeds and the...

Whatever happened to this exciting young aboriginal talent. I know there were some experts who rated him superior to his teamate from the NT Raph Clarke. Is he still reluctant to move his young family and girlfriend or could he be enticed to enter the draft? I have only seen flashes but my...

Gee i hope the rain holds off, shattered if it gets called off. See press release below. The constant rain that fell late yesterday during the Oaks meeting at Flemington, has continued. Flemington track manager Terry Watson admits tomorrow`s Emirates Stakes day meeting is in some doubt...

Does anyone else think this race should be worth $1M. Great field again, Flemington has a brilliant Mile Circuit (Marginally behind Randwick and just ahead of Bendigo) and i think this race should be given a higher billing. Is a very tough race to win and trainers and horses who can do it...

The Ottens deal widely reported is official now. Papers lodged.
