    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    I thought Knevitt would become a medium forward with his marking, but tbh, I think his set shot kicking and foot skills overall are just average... They might need to turn him into a defender...

    He won't make it. Someone like Danger can run anywhere and take a contested mark. Knevitt just sits still.

    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    Knevitt has something that none of our upcoming mids have. We have relied on Danger and Blicavs to give us that marking option around the ground, and even in today’s faster paced game, marking is just as important as it ever was. The few seconds after a mark is the one time a team has control of...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    This is a good post as it touches on one of the areas that separate good clubs from also rans - player development. Its difficult for us looking in to appreciate what makes one clubs program better than another's. But I find it hard to believe that some clubs with all the draft picks simply get...

    Strategy Best 23 for Season 2026

    Another question for me is how much does Danger get managed through the season. He played 23 games in 2025. Last time he played that many was 2019. My view is that you need your captain out there week in week out if you can. But the flip side is having him primed for finals. The...

    Strategy Best 23 for Season 2026

    Always a few variables from one season to the next - form / injuries / team balance and how they want to set up for preferred gameplan. The question marks or variables for me are as follows: -- How does Clark slot into our best 22 with the likely addition of Bruhn and Worpel (both better...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Clubs that have remained at the top of the tree for an extended period without bottoming out have either got lucky with F/S or academy kids. Or landed big name free agents.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    We all know what these threads are about....bantering (aka Stirring) other posters into getting a reaction. The number of bottom half clubs "supporters" who are posting in this thread speaks volumes for the credulity of the arguments. "Do Collingwood need..." to do anything will get you a...

    ...you how to play footy, but we can’t teach you how to get quicker more agile and jump higher or grow taller. Key talls are expected to all be mark blicavs now, and all midfielders are expected to be elite runners either speed or endurance wise. And if you are slow… you have no place in the league

    3. Have you considered Eagles rated Dean at number 3 in the draft? Or that they may have wanted the Blues to trade back because that wiped out several later picks in the 20's which elevated two Eagles picks in the 30's? Or that making the Blues look like fools was zero benefit to the Eagles...

    There is a big chance that Matt Clarke has bombed this draft too 1.All the Duursma's up until this point have been a big disappointment compared to their junior form line and I expect the same from Willem. 2.

    1. GC This is basically the AFL’s long-term science experiment finally reaching the “may cause unintended side-effects” stage: another elite academy batch every year, ambassador top-ups, and a three-time premiership coach gets handed a golden parachute. Anderson, Rowell and Touk were already...

    Players who well and truly exceeded expectations

    Mark Blicavs. Rocked up to training one day with his mate Cam Guthrie having not played football in years, after making an unsuccessful attempt at the Olympic team in steeplechase running. Raw as hell. Selected as a Cat B rookie, spends a year playing VFL. Undersized for a ruckman in today's...

    Welcome With Rookie Pick 28 Geelong Football Club Selects Nick Driscoll

    I think Danger and Blicavs have a couple of years left and I would be surprised if Martin retired. If Stanley retires then he is a fair chance to be replaced by Marshall as an unrestricted free agent. There is a fair chance based on past history that we trade in another 1 or 2 and I am hopeful...

    ...21 hitouts), Todd Goldstein (24 touches, 56 hitouts) in 2022/23. He played back up ruck in 2024. Primary ruck in 2025 against Grundy (22 touches, 62 hitouts) and Marshall again (24 touches, 29 hitouts), and held his own against Rhys Stanley and Mark Blicavs. I'd take the punt on Cox instead.

    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    If the club rates him and doesnt rate the mids around that mark, then i can see it being a good pick. We have no developing VFL key defenders, and blicavs is 35... Kolo is getting on... They may prefer to move COS to the midfield or have flexibility with SDK. I can even see if we dont find a...

    Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

    His I tend to agree with you mostly. His attributes scream key defender for me. Tall and rangy with great closing speed. Apparently not a great set shot but a good field kick so running and kicking out of the backline. Ground ball skills also required for talls in Def these days. Can then also...

    Yes, drafting is an inexact science as is player development. That doesn’t change the fact that if a guy can’t jump, kick straight or catch the ball he’s not getting nearly universally rated at the very pointy end of draft prospects.

    Jumps usually indicate explosiveness, while sprints indicate speed off the mark. As an national u16 BB rep I'm sure his leap is fine, just not elite. At 18, this can definitely be improved on.

    I think its more of a Dubai Chocolate Blicavs being the fact that Blicavs cant get on the scoreboard or take a contested grab to save himself A slightly better version of Blicavs is definetly worth a pick 2. He is insanely important for Geelong

    Yes Temu Blicavs is just as unexciting at pick 2. Getting a player that is good at making up for the thing he sucks at (the thing hes in the team for) seems like an insane plan. The Williams comp is more outcomes based as opposed to game style. "A bad ruckman who is 'fine' as a third tall...

    He is clearly Mark Blicavs. People who cant see that are just too blinded by the word steeplechase I think I cant think of a worse comparison then Marshall. Marshalls groundball ability is shocking as his first 20m running ability abnd, particularly when it comes to tackling pressure. CDT...
