I Agree

Carazzo - Captain.
Simpson - Vice Captain.

imo.

Carrots is just too much of a kent.

Simpson and Jamison. Doesn't matter which is which. I don't care if you don't want the responsibility, the club needs you, you're the MF'er, you do it.

A Carlton loss, a Carlton loss to Essendon, a complete Carlton capitulation to Essendon, free beer, the look on your mate's face when he hands said beer over.

No need to think out loud. That's winning enough right there.
Last year was amazing, Waite 7 goals and essendon wins and the last round when we had nothing to play for we still won. It was a small victory for me considering our 2013 season.
 
Brown did peak early. 3 premierships by the time he was 22 gave people a belief he was going to be one of the all time greats.

He was only AA twice (2007 - 2009) so you have a case, but a three time club best and fairest could have a case to be one of the best of this century (not that there has been many true 'greats' as yet).
One of the key things about Brown was also that he played his best football in 2006, where he nearly won the brownlow from 10 games.
 
Upsets go both ways. If they take what's on offer they're a fringe 12 through 6th side like a few others.

Of course, which is why I didn't factor upsets in at all. Win some, lose some.

I think they're a 5-7 side based on what they've got to come, not on how good they are as a team.
 
Can anybody tell me why there is an apostrophe in @Old Dark Navy's username?
Tackling the big issues!

Many would ask where the 'r' in my username is. You know, between the 'd' and 'o'.

Are Geelong as good as everyone says they are?

I personally don't think they have that air of invincibility that they once had. They may still have the stars like Stevie J, Selwood, Bartell but they are still allowing even mediocre sides (yes, that includes you Collingwood) into games they should be putting them away in.

The future does look ok for them with the next gen Cats kids looking the goods at this early stage. Duncan, Guthrie, Motlop, Christensen all have played some good footy already. Add in Murdoch, Thurlow, Sheringham, McCarthy, Walker, Kolodjshjni and the future looks ok.

Geelong is OK. The current issue is that next generation of players ready to step up such as Christensen, Vardy and Motlop have long term injuries.
 
Funny how Nick Riewoldt's had amazing form either side of Watters' tenure isn't it.

Wow

Riewoldt has been good the last two years, especially 2013. He is one of the most consistent players going around. Rarely has a POOR game.
 
Oh, mercy.

Caro just claimed that Richmond's problem is that they've had the off-season from hell and that it's all Jake King and Dustin Martin's fault.

Oh dear.

Oh, dear me.

Geelong these days rely on individual brilliance to get their wins ie: Steve Johnston,Bartel etc imo.

There is an element of this but they are still a well drilled team. It's the group of 22 to 24 yrs olds who need to step up.
