Every club should have a flight allowance based on KMs travelled. Wouldnt be hard to work out and should be added onto match payments automatically. We've actually had a few concessions lately, I'm not sure we'll be able to get that one over the line any time soon though

If it's paid to all players on the plane at $3 per km it's $180,000 extra a year for our players and about $36,000 for Richmond players who play every game.
 
Trade for holes in the list, wing, small forward, rebounding defender.

I like Oliver but do we really need another midfielder; Serong, Brayshaw, Young, cameo’s from Jackson, Bolton, depth from Erasmus, Johnson, Wagner, Sharp, NOD… the midfield is fine.
Big bodied mid is a hole in our list and a fine midfield doesn’t win you a flag, a great one does.
Compare the depth of ours to the depth of Lions, major scope for improvement on our list.

I don't think people realise just how close it is. Last week I drove from north of Melb to a popular Geelong beach in just under 90 mins. I would be lucky to get from Cockburn to Joondalup in the same time (or unlucky, depending which side of the river you're from)
I get what you are trying to say, but it's actually half an hour from Cockburn to Joondalup outside peak hour, just like I'm sure its more than 90 minutes from Melbourne to this beach in peak hour.

You can actually get all the way to Guilderton in 1:15 from Cockburn. Sure, if for some reason you want to live in Upper Swan after getting traded to Freo it would be a hassel.

All our depth bar Wagner conceivably improve considerably in the next couple of seasons. Address the real problems first, that’s where the 22 improve the most. Dudley, an unfit, 167cm small forward, without elite speed shouldn’t be able to crack our 22, but he did quite easily many times, I like him, but athletically he’s up against it. H

Are you riding between Cockburn and Joondalup?
 
Unsurprisingly Jack Steele is free to look elsewhere. Please God no to anybody who suggests him

Steele is a very limited player. You'd be buying a disciplined, accountable, chase and tackle but 30 years old big body. A role that really should be possible out of any of our players like O'Meara, Johnson, Erasmus, Banfield, O'Driscoll given it's nearly entirely effort and focus.
 
Interesting that Damo thought Lawson Humphries was Geelongs best in the grand final. I thought he was excellent.

Any more noise around him moving?
Good chance a few things happen regarding Geelong but found it interesting they only delisted two rookies yesterday.

There's a few older blokes that didn't play much this year and/or might be replaced that I'd expect to retire (C.Guthrie, Bews, Stanley) but is there more to it than that?

The improvement can come from our youngsters getting better. Our midfield isn't really that much different when lined up against Brisbane. The main issue is Erasmus and Johnson need to improve, but that's a reasonable thing to expect.

Neale - Serong
W. Ashcroft - Brayshaw
L. Ashcroft - Reid
Bailey - Bolton
Dunkley - Erasmus
McCluggage - Young
Rayner - Jackson
Berry - Johnson
Fletcher - McVee
Draper - Darcy

Throw Switta in there somewhere. Marshall and Annable the hard ones to match as highly rated kids, but they aren't contributing anything now, plus maybe we add a 1st of our own and/or Rodriguez, Whan, etc. And Neale will be done soon.
