Where I think we are a chance at a win/loss, I have awarded us the win on half the occasions, however, unless something charges drastically, I don’t think we will be playing finals football this year. 2007?

I know there will be people saying Sydney won a premiership after a 2-4 start, but how many times has that happens? Once in over 100 years. Spare me!

Thoughts?

So you are saying we will be lucky to make finals. A 50/50 record might get us in.

I say bugger it lets play for draft picks. I would rather finish 14th-16th than 9th.

Likewise. It's not all bad at the cattery. We won our first trophy in 40 years and this year sounds like a cracking draft. Maybe we can start re-building. See you in 20012.

 

[Kent_Kingsley]

yeh not a bad idea....get a priority pick (ie a gun midfielder) aswell as Tom Hawkins and then prime ourselves for next season

 

[TheTimeCometh]

is this a joke???

how can you even begin to predict wins and losses??? thats whats got us into this speculating bullsh1t to begin with :

y'know - WE SHOULD BE 5 AND 1, and we should beat this and that.

who says we should be premier fav's - the :en media and yer en heads!!!

Einstein,

It's based on current form, which is the only form we go go by.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

yet current form means looking 16 rds ahead?!?

how much have you learnt about trends, sporting ones in particular?



i am bemused by this.

 

[Renegade]

Yeah let's go for a draft pick. We severely lack in young quality players.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

Dear Nostradamus,

Having observed your keen eye for predicting future events, i would be delighted to have 'in' on this information as i am really struggling in the office tippin' at the mo'.

kindest regards,

Albert.

 

[Soupy]

how many times are we playing the swans this year

 

[TheTimeCometh]

i think the user with the out-dated internerd parody name has got it right this time - 3 games fer 2 L's and a win.

 

[Bartel'sNo1Fan]

ridiculous thread.
playing for draft picks? Seriously, come off it.
So we have lost four games on the trot. We saw a similar slump last year and started the same way the year before that.
We dont need to play for draft picks. We have a fantastic side and pretty soon they'll be on fire again start putting a few wins together and it'll all blow over.
Have confidence in the players we have now, we all know they can play WELL and beat any side on any given day. Its not like we need to start ditching players (apart from Gardiner!).
All our players are great contributors

 

[TheTimeCometh]

EXACTLY!!

ANY IRRATIONAL SPECULATION, BE IT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, IS JUST THAT - SPECU-IN-LATION!!!!!!

gardiner really is a worry tho'.

The priority draft picks have gone now. You only get the first pick if you finish last with less than 5 wins

 

[jess_555]

I actually sort of agree with the Hoff on this one... in a way. I posted my predictions for the rest of the season in another thread and from my predictions I decided that we will make the 8 but probably finish in 7th or 8th. I'm hoping so much that the boys can turn things around and blitZ the field... although the way they are going at the moment who know whats gonna happen.

There is a very real chance that we will miss the finals if they continue to play that crappy footy they have been playing over the past few weeks (excluding a few quarters of games).

Find the passion boys... NOW!

 

[Copernicus]

If we ever played for draft picks I would be ed.

Give me 9th over bottom any day. Our club needs to have more pride than that, nevermind how annoying it is to finish 9th.

Anyway, it's hard to judge which way the season will go now. We'll know more in the next few weeks. Get a few wins and it's a different story.

 

[Jack-Packenham]

Start again.

Trade Tenace, Kelly, Enright and King for a gun midfielder (aker or cousins) and a couple of high draft picks.

Make an example

You've got to be kidding....

Kelly, Tenace maybe, but Enright and the Captain of our club. What kind of an example would that be setting? 'Come to Geelong, we'll turn on our leaders'.

I understand attempting to get a gun midfielder, but Aker, an over the hill brownloaw medalist that has clearly played his best football with a monster mouth and Cousins has already had his chance to come to Geelong. Why would it change now?

Enright is a star and i would be shattered if he left our club.

 

[Jack-Packenham]

Enright is a star and i would be shattered if he left our club.

Corey "Apple" Enright a star. I have heard everything now. He is an average player. I would prefer to have kept Moloney.

He shouldn't be captain. But that's just another hard decision that bomber has dodged.

The bloke would be in the starting 18 for every other club in the league. Moloney has struggled for a position in a injury ridden club. What does that tell you?

I'm a bad judge !!!!!!

However I am the only geelong supporter who thinks a centre half forward should get more than 2 kicks a game, so maybe your the bad judge.

p.s. When looking at the brownlow votes for the melbourne game you may see

3. C Enright (melb)
2. C Bruce (melb)
1. B McLean (melb)

Yeah, Great call pal. You've got to be the most negative Geelong supporter i have ever dealt with.

If you are targeting Enright, you've got issues... He has been one of the better players for us this year. Last week, he had a shocker, most players do.

What do you think of Rooke, Trade him? Ablett, Delist him, Chapman, Sack him?

Tell me, when you played AFL, did you always have 30 touches and snag 6 goals each week?

Stick to bagging H, he atleast deserves it at times...

My career playing for Doutta Stars under 10's

15 games 2 goals
averaged 4 kicks and 2 handballs a game
I don't think I ever marked the ball (allthough I did provide a target and structure)

Sounds like I am a prime candidate for CHF for the cats

 

[TheTimeCometh]

hahahaha jack!!!!!!

just get those 'worry' eyes of charlies dartin back and forth and you'll be a shoe in!
