In sight of the lawn section.So you and I are approaching 30 Fred..what a relief...
Gun recruit Jeremy Cameron has returned to running after suffering a minor hamstring strain last week and is still expected to be ready for the Cats' AAMI Community Series match.
Dangerfield has recently ramped up his running sessions with the Cats confident he'll be fit to tackle the Crows in seven weeks' time despite a heavily interrupted summer.
does it work both ways... if JC is approaching 30 at 27... can i be just over 45 at neatly 48?I believe he suddenly aged a few years only after agreeing to & then signing with Geelong
Prior to making his intentions clear, I'm pretty sure he was a key forward in his mid-20s who had a good number of years of football left; but something crazy seems to happen once a player joins Geelong and suddenly they are aged 2/3 years...
Chances are that if a player has been concussed in the preliminary final that they probably wouldn't actually be ok to play in the grand finalguaranteed there will be a concussion in the prelim final this season where a player would normally be OK to play the GF
I think we have got more out of Rohan than Dahlhaus and want to get a look at EvansDahl battling groin problems too?
Can't say that bothers me too much. Would love to see close and evans get some more experience.

The new law regarding the man on the mark is made for runners like Rohan to move up the ground a bit he along with Smith and Clark should take full advantage of the space it creates.I think we have got more out of Rohan than Dahlhaus and want to get a look at Evans
I would have thought it was expressly made to stop blokes like Rohan getting on the mark and hurrying the kicker into kicking wide and shallow.The new law regarding the man on the mark is made for runners like Rohan to move up the ground a bit he along with Smith and Clark should take full advantage of the space it creates.
No I'm thinking Geelong player with the ball say Atkins and opposition player glued to the mark scenario and speedsters and good users running past for the hand ball receive. This is a great rule to bring back attacking footy even if that wasn't its intent.I would have thought it was expressly made to stop blokes like Rohan getting on the mark and hurrying the kicker into kicking wide and shallow.
Right, hadn't thought of that aspect.No I'm thinking Geelong player with the ball say Atkins and opposition player glued to the mark scenario and speedsters and good users running past for the hand ball receive. This is a great rule to bring back attacking footy even if that wasn't its intent.
Tuff rule for the man on the mark he can't take one step in any direction until the umpire calls play on or it's a 50mtrsRight, hadn't thought of that aspect.
Really tough, considering how umps already just love penalising players on the mark for the umps' mistake in being too slow to call play on.Tuff rule for the man on the mark he can't take one step in any direction until the umpire calls play on or it's a 50mtrs
Outside the 2 arcs, it's probably better not to go on the mark, instead just patrol 10 metres behind it; at least that way, you're not taking yourself out of the play and automatically creating a loose attacker.Tuff rule for the man on the mark he can't take one step in any direction until the umpire calls play on or it's a 50mtrs
Just as well you were quick. They'll all be here soon enough...
Just as well. It's been three days now and still nothing.

Fort initially hurt the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last October following the qualifying final loss to Port Adelaide, but has been training with the Cats since they returned to the track this summer.
He did not undergo surgery but was wearing a brace for structural support, which he is now wearing again following this latest incident.
The 28-year-old said it there was no time frame for his return as Geelong weighs up its options.
“It is a little bit frustrating,” Fort said.
“I haven’t had the best run with injuries the last 12 months, unfortunately. But, I’ll just get back to the grind and control what I can control and keep prepping myself for footy, whenever that is.
“A lot of gym work and a lot of sessions in the heat room. I’m doing as much as I can, and when I can start working on my knee again, I’ll start doing it.
“We’re still assessing it. We had to get the previous scans, and we’re just getting some second opinions now.”
Fort signed a new deal at the end of last year, extending his stay at the Cats until at least 2022.
