Player #20 - Esava Ratugolea
1636080320877.png
Pictured: Once again, Dangerfield tries to make something all about him

Esava Ratugolea is 23 years old and provides an insight into why Chris 'grab a granny' Scott prefers his players to be from a generation where polio and smallpox were considered significant childhood hazards.

Nicknamed 'Sav' as Geelong fans struggle with multiple-syllable pronunciation, he is listed as a ruck-forward. In AFL terms, this means his is a bit tall and athletic but not really a good forward or a ruck. To be fair he does look really really good flying for the ball, mostly the bit before the marking occurs (or in his case, generally doesn't). He averages two marks per game or, in other terms, ranks 530th in the AFL for average marks per game (out of 573). I remind you he is a 197cm, 102kg player who gets the ball kicked to him occasionally at AFL level.

In his 15 games this year he kicked 11 goals, although 4 of those were against a Richmond side playing so many kids they helped the Geelong players cross the road before the game. His 7.7 disposal average looks a bit low, but he did still manage 1.8 clangers per game so it's not like he wasn't getting involved. He played two finals for Geelong for a combined total of 10 disposals (4 kicks) and 2 marks, making him the only Geelong player in living memory that could legitimately ask Gary Rohan for advice about playing in finals.

In fairness, he is only 23 so Chris Scott considers him 14 years away from playing his best football.

Fun fact: Sav was born in Griffiths NSW, which is often referred to as the "food bowl" of Australia. This fact also led to Tom Hawkins changing his off-season plans in 2017 and a few days later, his complete emotional devastation.

Sav, good luck next year and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Reckon there was about 3 times this year where the commentators basically set it up for Sav to dominate the game and breakout but he was so shit that it didn't come to fruition. When Geelong played us we had no Jones or Weitering by memory, and he still had a crap game.

The first line, under the picture got me. From there well done.

And to make it even bit sharper the only time he plays well is against my Tigers. So we look at him as a dangerous player. 16 other clubs, 17 if you include the Cats, can't see why there's any issue in worrying about big Sav.

Think you'll find the place is Griffith, not Griffiths and rather than the 'food bowl' it is the drug and organised crime capital of Australia. The town was depicted in Underbelly, a Nine Network production that delves into Tom Hawkins pre-season challenges.
 
He is like a poor mans Tim O'Brien. Hopefully Geelong also give him until 27 to achieve his potential

It can't be exact until he drops the part of his surname following the hyphen.

Player #23 - Stephen Coniglio
View attachment 1268630
Pictured: Cogs weaves around an orange cushion, which was only slightly more ffective than Gary Rohan in this years' finals series

Stephen "Cogs" Coniglio is the GWS captain on a mega 7 year, $7 million dollar contract. He has successfully led them to SFA for years now.

Now, nobody would argue that Cogs is a bad player. Nobody (except for his manager) would argue he's worth anything remotely close to $1m per season though.
There are single origin organic macadamia mylk tumeric lattes being served with manuka honey in an artisan ceramic non-symmetrical cups that were hand crafted by a half blind gypsy woman in a small town just outside of Mansfield that you've never heard of *deep breath in* that offer better value for money than what GWS are paying Cogs. The players getting paid less than Cogs reads like a 'who's who' list of AFL stardom - Max Gawn, Jack Macrae, Christian Petracca, Ollie Wines, Sam Walsh and Gav Urquhardt.

Averaging less than 15 touches and kicking just one goal this year from his 7 games, there was even a push to trade him to Freo which was rejected immediately because (unbelievably) Freo don't manage their list that badly. It seems to be a case of the AFL media reading Wikipedia, working out he was from WA, and making up a link to the team that could afford him. The media have made up a lot of stories over the years - Clarkson would definitely coach Hawthorn next year, Michael Talia 'lost his phone' and David Hille having a girlfriend were some of the sillier ones.

Cogs was a gun cricketer in his younger days and had to choose cricket or football as a teenager. He ended up chosing football because he has an aversion to sandpaper. Aside from football, Cogs also runs some restaurants and has a 'keen interest in fashion', which is reminiscent of every footballer in the 2000s starting a T shirt company.
Cogs also won the Jim Stynes community award in 2019 making him one of the few decent people who play for GWS.

Cogs, enjoy the off season and welcoem to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Player #19 - Josh Caddy
1636335633417.png
Pictured: Josh celebrates with Trent Cotchin when Brooke lets Trent out for drinks that weekend

Josh Caddy was drafted at pick 7 by Gold Coast and like most Gold Coast selections has played a lot of football at clubs that aren't Gold Coast.

After 2 years at Gold Coast, he was chased by St Kilda and Essendon but eventually went to Geelong. Rumours persisted that Gold Coast players were not sad to see him go which is weird as most of them left anyway. Gold Coast's club song really should be written by Taylor Swift.

Caddy spent 4 years at Geelong and at the end of 2016 reports of 'player unrest' (coincidentally starting after Dangerfield arrived) meant he decided to look elsewhere. His older brother Saul (who was rumoured to be kicked out of a suburban club mid-season under 'interesting' circumstances) had a chat to Brendan Gale and Josh then decided to join Richmond.

After a very good year in 2018 (46 goals) he's... been left without much of a position. Described as a 'utility' Josh just doesn't seem to have a position to play. Since Tom Lynch arrived, the forward line works better without Josh. He lacks the pace to play much midfield and has been tried on a wing with mixed success. Injuries have hampered him too but at 29 and without a set role to play at AFL level his best chance is to hold on for a year or two with the Tigers and head back to Geelong.

Fun fact: Josh is very good friends with Nadia Bartel and was spotted leaving her home one Sunday morning in August, but in fairness he may have just been looking for the bathroom and was given directions by Steele Sidebottom to find it.
The two are 'just good friends' which sounds like a well prepared line, something Nadia is known for.

Good luck for 2022 Josh and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Credit to yourself and Nadia for preparing this line. Shakespeare wept at its beauty.

A mention of 2016 without talking it up as the best year on record? I think we've got an impostor on our hands here...

Not sure what you are doing here Mofra. That was basically factual with some drive byes at Geelong and GC (so low hanging fruit). Pick up your game.

But well deserved entry
