They could've been 0-5.

Yeah but you're forgetting the most important thing: my tipping. Have some empathy mate.

 

[Quinz]

They could've been 0-5.

They'll be 1-5 now.

 

[ep2018]

They could've been 0-5.

We'd have been their first win.

 

[Keys]

Brisbane are bloody horrible, we should win by plenty.

Until we lose the toss and you decide we're ****ed

 

[Ochre]

Until we lose the toss and you decide we're stuffed

What a negative fellow you are

Winning the toss is cricket goes a long way to winning.

That Ebert bloke goes alright

I missed the game, but saw the highlights...BOG performance in his 150th?

He was good but his second half not as good as the first. I thought Boak & Gray were the 2 on ballers for them that stood up the most in the last quarter.

That said, over the whole game Ebert was very good. 22 possessions and 3 goals and got involved forward, back and through the middle. It's his versatility and ability to take a mark and kick a goal that'd be handy. He'd have been in the best 2 or 3 across the game.

He's also clearly a leader, who seems to do a lot of the pre-game and in game talking and organising you expect from a captain

Webb from last year's draft was one a few of us were keen on for maybe our round 2 pick. Debuting for the Bulldogs right now - made a few errors but looks like he'll be a handy player.

 

[Johnno22]

Luke Hodge 25 possessions to half time. If only the Hawks had taken Judd in that draft.

 

[WCErevival]

Hodge thinks he's Colledge

37 and 2 goals to three quarter time.

 

[Quinz]

Luke Hodge 25 possessions to half time. If only the Hawks had taken Judd in that draft.

Then we'd be minus one Kennedy and one Premiership.

 

[Biggie]

Geelong look a shell of their former selves

 

[Johnno22]

Hodge has led the Hawks to 3

Then we'd be minus one Kennedy and one Premiership.

 

[ep2018]

Gold Coast playing decently against Geelong. Could put Freo's win in perspective.

 

[WCErevival]

All Geelongs older brigade are cooked. Doesn't look like much coming on under them either

If that's an ACL to Bartel, then sadly I think that's the last we will see of him.

Has 3 flags, a Brownlow, a Norm Smith and will be 32 at the start of next year so what more has he got to prove coming back? Will be a sad end to a great career.

This has been fun but 10 minutes till the channel changes

2015 AFL Season ‏@theafloffseason 3m3 minutes ago

BREAKING | Tony Sheahan has tweeted that TWO more AFL Players are set to announced as ‘early as this week’ to... http://fb.me/6mJxxaBIK

2 more players from 2 separate Vic clubs are in trouble like the Pies boys.

We haven't heard any more of this. Not happening or the system is just overwhelmed by the Essendon situation delaying everything else?

The other 2 were named. Cant remember who they were though. Waiting on B samples. Should be revealed this week.

Yeah 2 were named, but the talk was another 2 also gave +ve samples.

 

[kane249]

Yeah the additional 2 rumour turned out to be bs

Looks like just an MCL, but he'll be out several weeks.

I disagree with the poster who said it doesn't look like Geelong have much coming after the old guard retires. Caddy has looked better this year and Thurlow is improving. Guthrie is a good young tagger. Gregson looks really quick and creative, and Cockatoo is getting a regular run at 18. Bews, Walker and Lang also chipped in with some handy play today. I actually think that Geelong are well suited to turn it around pretty quickly, with the amount of young talent they're giving regular playing time to right now. Plus once guys like Enright, Lonergan, Bartel, etc decide to hang it up, they'll have a lot of salary cap space to poach free agents or young guys who want to move back to VIC.

ASADA decide not to appeal the 34 players verdict, what a complete waste of time that was then.
