Since then they have changed there ingredients and I think anyway and it’s now my beer to drink.
Easy and refreshing

Depends on the weather. Dark ales and pale ales this time of year. I'm in SA so Coopers dark is a good move. As the weather fines up I'd suggest a few options that some might not go for like hefeweizen beers or steam ales but for mainstream options I'd look at little creatures but if you want a lighter more drinkable option a boags. There's a million beers better than Great Northern. I mean people give West End Draught over here a bad wrap but on a 40 degree day it's infinitely better than Great Northern
I mean, you can get away with a few brewing adjuncts, but beers with that much sugar in the boil should not be acceptable

Cheers, maybe I'll give it a second chance then. Last time I gave it crack I felt like it was more undistilled white rum than beer by mass
just on this, a mate of mine works for CUB and I’m pretty sure he told me that great northern is now the highest selling beer in Australia.
completely ridiculous if true…

Could put Thurlow and Cockatoo down to bad luck with injuries too.
Edit: You're right though, it is very striking when you look at how many we have traded out. Every single one up to Parfitt.

Never thought I’d drink the non alc but it’s fitting in very nicely to the routine

Geelong nominates Jackson McLachlan for VFL’s Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal

Geelong is continuing to give Cats VFL star Jackson McLachlan an AFL push, declaring there’s “no reason” why the small forward could not be drafted.
McLachlan is one of 27 players to have been nominated for the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal, which recognises the VFL’s most promising player.
The past 14 winners, including Richmond star Kane Lambert, have gone on to play AFL.
Geelong VFL operations manager Nathan Tweddle said McLachlan remained one of the Cats’ most draftable prospects.

“We’ve actually had a number of other clubs ring and inquire about him,” Tweddle said.
“Last year was unfortunate that the season was cancelled and we didn’t get any football in. He’s one of those players that would have hurt but our big push for him now is that he’s at that age bracket where he’s 23, he’s still within his hit zone — his best footy’s in front of him — and we’re really pushing him to not give up on that dream of playing AFL.
“His last two seasons, whether it was 2019 or 2021, have been really consistent at VFL level.
“Our belief is if he puts together another really good body of football next year, that there’s no reason why he couldn’t be picked up.
“Even this year, there’s clubs that have been asking questions about him.
“I’d love to see him get an opportunity at any AFL club if it wasn’t at Geelong.”

McLachlan made nine VFL appearances this year and was named in the best players in three games.
Tweddle considered McLachlan an “outside chance” for the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal.
He would be Geelong’s first winner since Jason Davenport in 2006.
“If he got picked up, it would more than likely be in a rookie position,” Tweddle said.
“He plays a very difficult role as a high half-forward. A lot of his games aren’t high possession games but the impact he has with his unrewarded running and his set up at stoppages up the ground as a high half-forward, internally we rate that as high as anyone in our program.”

If we were into him we wouldn't be hyping him up
Reckon Brown and Smedts weren't far behind. If you could have predicted their injuries in advance that would be impressive. To be fair Cockatoo is probably in that group too. That's four first round picks in seven years. Can't blame anyone for players breaking their legs or doing their knees.
So like you thought you were the designated driver but turns out all your mates had arranged other lifts without you knowing?
True but if they come in with an injury history that can/should be a red flag. Some people (due to physical makeup) are more susceptible to injuries.
This has been mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating… stop looking for the charity (injury) case. Pick non-injured juniors and play the odds.
Not a fan of the club risking their pick 7 on Joel back in the day? Or pick 15 on Varcoe?

Wells struck gold with both Joel Selwood and then Trav Varcoe, both had missed most/all of their draft seasons through injury but went on to perform at AFL level. But we've been burnt a few times subsequently with the likes of Darcy & Cockatoo.
Mitch Brown and Joel Hamling both went on to forge decent careers at opposition clubs; Brown was close to establishing himself with us but never quite got there; Hamling never even got an opportunity.

I literally wrote an extra paragraph that I deleted about Joel but here is a summation…
There’s no refuting they turned out to be excellent (Selwood) and really good (Varcoe) choices respectively, but it’s not really about individuals per se, it’s about probability.
we’ve had way more busts than successes with injured draftees.
put it this way-
if you get lucky and win the $40m powerball draw, don’t bet it all the next week on ozlotto. Take the win and play the odds moving forward.

Dawson Simpson is the one that still haunts me. Finally started to come good in 2013, dislocated his knee, still only 30 now, never the same again.

Apologies for the intrusion, however, I couldn't let this slip. The Peroni Gran Riserva Doppio Malto is a very nice beer.

It is a pretty good drop that one. Doesn't go great in the middle of summer thoughI just want beer that tastes like Beer
I actually like Coopers Pale Ale the best if it's on tap
A lot of Italian beer is pretty standard fare but have you ever tried Italian chestnut lager? Life changing
