We should not evaluate our trading based on whether it's better than the stupidest trade period by a club in 35 years. It sets a very low bar.
True. But we can evaluate the quality of a post by whether they judge Geelong's trades more harshly than the stupidest trade period by a club in 35 years.

This is as good a place as any.

I've just realised for the first time that clubs must contract 'water boys' from the afl.
I had always thought it was club people that ran the water.

But the girl who ran the water for us on Friday is currently doing it for north.
It makes perfect sense to share that resource. But the idea had never even entered my head.

The Dees when on... play absolutely cracking footy to watch, they have a great mix of hardness and flair IMO.
Agreed. A number of players who can work through congestion and a good number who can punish turnovers. They work hard hard both ways when they're on. Really enjoying this game. Some good old fashioned biff. Great stuff!

A lot of young but super talented players.. they will still have ups and downs but are absolutely heading the right direction.

I reckon Goodwin will be a better coach than Cameron and that may be a very important thing in a couple of Septembers...

I don't think it's all that sensible. I'm surprised they aren't supporter volunteers. I thought that at times they passed on a message or two like how long till the siren. Maybe that's why they are contracted so that there aren't messages passed along making the runner the only club aligned non-player allowed on the ground.

AFL Twitter apologising for an "insensitive GIF" earlier - wonder what it was.
Know what it was now. Accompanying the message of "West Coast trying to exit Essendon's forward line is like:" was a GIF of a tsunami coming straight down a highway towards a car.

I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to give messages. And really, you'd trust a water boy to deliver a message?
And it makes sense because you aren't going to fly 4 water boys to Perth. Complete waste of cash.
