New recruits unveiled??

[hbk_aus]

Have i missed something or have our new boys not been officially showed off to the media yet? All I have seen is a couple of articles in the Addy on Motlop and thats it...The other teams seem to be showing off all of their draft picks, so was just wondering if Geelong had already done that and i missed it?

 

[TheOutsider]

Dont think you have missed it I have been watching fox sports news and channel ten news every night waiting for this and haven't seen anything yet.

Our boys aside from Motlop - Brown, Gillies and Hunt - did a photo shoot together at KP a few days after being drafted. There were pics in the Addy. That's all I've seen of them, and I haven't heard any of them interviewed yet.

 

[rizzo]

They will be revealed to the members at the AGM, but apart from that.... not sure. It sucks how teams like Collingwood and Carlton always get the coverage, yet the team who has played in the last two GF's get nothing.

Yep, but bizarrely the pictures never turned up on the club site.

There are interviews with all of them on the club site, although i can't access them (can never access videos from Bigpond).

The media probably don't give a fat rats about clubs who didn't have a top 10 pick.The shots of the Carlton,Collingwood and StKilda recruits lined up looks like future police line ups.

 

[rizzo]

Haha those videos were good. Motlop was very short on words, but was a pisser during the quiz. Poor old Paul Couch. Would be wondering how he has been so easily forgotten

FF 3.0.4

The videos don't even load in FF, i also tried in IE and whilst i got the videos 'buffering', they never actually played.

I don't have any trouble with youtube or other similar streaming videos, it's only videos through Bigpond (along with videos on the 3AW site, which also stop at 'buffering').

Yeah, I use firefox and they don't play, however they work perfect in IE. Weird. Maybe you need to update your IE?

At the moment i've got 7.0.5730.11

Is that similar to the version you've got?

I don't use IE much, if at all, so i don't bother updating manually.

BTW I just tried to watch the videos again on IE, and it basically just sits on 'buffering' forever.
I've got ADSL2, so they should be loading up almost instantly.

I don't use it much either. Firefox is easily better. I'm running on 7.0.6001.18000.

Not sure how far behind yours is, but it looks like it could be a bit. Maybe try the update and try again. Or it could even be a java problem..

I updated Java and got the new version of IE, but still the same problem persists

I guess i'm not meant to watch videos on the AFL site.

Thats nuts! I actually just tried on Firefox and they worked.

I just went to try the videos again in FF and it told me i needed to get the FF WMP Plugin (sure i already had it, though).

I got it, but still no luck.

Thanks for your help though mate, i appreciate it.

this happened to me for ages... i swear i downloaded it 5 times yet it still said i needed it.

what it was is that i downloaded it but never installed it.

i dont know if its the same with you but when you download it a little box pops up which says downloads and it should be top of the list along with other stuff you might have downloaded before if you hadnt cleared the list. then just double click on the file. it says something about being an executable file and it might contain viruses or something like that which turned me off for a while but after getting annoyed once again after not being to watch videos i just did it. now i have no problems

 

[Exhale You]

I ran the plugin after i downloaded it, but unfortunately it didn't change anything.

COmmon problem in FF...

go (in FF) tools>add ons>plugins (up top) then disable shockwave flash. Re-enable it and refresh the page - it should work then.

Thanks for the tip, but sadly it didn't work.

For the first time it looked like it was starting to play (for a split second), but then it stopped.

Out of desperation i just upgraded to WMP 11 and now the videos on the GFC site work through FF.

Only problem is that i can't stand WMP 11 and want my WMP 10 back

hahaha out of all the problems it has to be one of the easiest. But as you saw 10 is better then 11

What did you think of the vids EY?

I upgraded to 11 when it was first released, and then went back to 10 in record time.

Now i'm stuck because i'd like access to the videos, but i just cannot deal with WMP 11, which both sucks and blows.

Loved them, mate.

It was great to finally see the players in more than simply a photo, and some of the answers were rather entertaining.

I know it's only a couple of minutes on each kid, but i really liked both Taylor Hunt and Steven Motlop.
Both come across as cracking, fun kids.

Typical Geelong. Why unveil them to supporters, they don't want to know about them anyway, and don't need to be told anything about them.

Remember, we keep everything a secret at Geelong. Supporters and members don't need to know anything.

Just rolled back to 10, and can still access the videos.
