News 2024 Preseason Matches & Training Reports

When we all thought Hopper was coming to Geelong I genuinely thought he was a better footballer than Taranto, oh how wrong was I. Nearly AA one year too iirc, seems a long time ago.

Potentially a blessing that Hopper chose Richmond over us. Looks a shadow of what he was.

Does Tom Brown disappear when Vlastuin is back?

Aah, yeah, might do, makes sense
Scoops a one-man peanut gallery today

 

[Makeshift Park]

Joining the chorus of those omitting Livingstone and Macrae on the basis of this game, welcome Naismith and (for now) Wilson.

Problem with dow is it's a change of structure to get him onfield.
Double a standard rookie price. You can pretty much only bring in a premo defender and drop a mid to bring him in.
Problem with that is we may have decent picks getting defence DPP round 6.

I've currently got Hustwaite M8, if he's looking iffy and Dow looks good I might consider Dow instead

 

[Northernsoul74]

27 SC at half time

Dusty is finished as a sc option

I’m not watching closely but he seemed to be in it a bit. Clearly not.

Actually, just realised Laurie was named on field, soz Wilson.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Gibcus doing ok now

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Gibcus up to 52 nearing 3QT

Looking worth it just for the job security.

 

[MrChristo]

Aren't we discussing if he's a good SC pick? Einstein!

Still looks to be a ... relatively... good pick.

 

[gutsroy]

Those two absolutely ruined me haha

Yeah, with fine margins at the pointy end, those ones just kill your charge.
Made my way back from 85k to 4.8k or so, then big Jezzfault gave me the sexy -4 or whatever it was and it all went to s**t, and you were closer to the top. Copping two of those when you're looking to consolidate and pick off a few at the margins screws you.

Very good

 

[King_Steele]

Brown 45

 

[Sherman41]

Dow going well, is the gap between his DT and SC score is usually such a wide gap? From what I’ve seen stats wise etc in the past I’m thinking not. Finds the ball, good player.

Think if Einstein was coaching, he'd be preaching the unified field theory very hard.

If you really need a junior KPF to round out your backline, is his JS really that much better than Reid, Phillips or Pink's?

10 CP's from 17 helps. DE is 88% too. Still no tackles though, it's only preseason but I reckon you'd like to see a few if you were considering him.

I think Dow looks good around the contest

Certainly No red bull is he

Haha, it wasn't a comment on his scoring potential, just his JS.

Are you going to bite every time?

Fan Footy is working now.

I know and Gibcus JS is rock solid not sure about the others

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Dean has been good since he came on
