Watch the other clubs copy Geelong next year (not that what we have done is truly unique). But this could result in a shift in focus from speculative 18 year olds to mature aged recruits. Call it Gen Y football. Teams want premierships now and not in 5-10 yearsMenegola would be well up there too.

Tutungi continues to fight, working hard on improving his range of movement and mixing work for Geelong with time with his wife and daughters, Asta and Louttit.
One of only 2 players I gave a pass last night.
Crameri was the other for the record.
Best 22 in the AFL. Lock him in for AA 2018This bloke is best 22 right as of now, late July 2018. He is f*cking BRILLIANT.
Will the AFL's ridiculous commitment to decide on the All Australian team last week cost Tom his spot? He looked quick and sharp on his feet, back to normal AA level yesterday. His injury came at a bad time for the premature selectulation schedule that I'd say no decent competition of the planet would even consider.

The back half has Alex Rance and Jeremy McGovern as the key defenders, three attacking type defenders in Lachie Whitfield, Shannon Hurn and Rory Laird, leaving one spot for whatever type of player you favour.
I went with Port Adelaide’s Tom Jonas because he defends strongly and is powerful overhead.
He beat out Hawthorn’s Ben Stratton, Sydney’s Jake Lloyd (another running defender), Tom Stewart from Geelong, Richmond’s Dylan Grimes and Collingwood’s Jeremy Howe...
...If the All-Australian selectors can cut corners by picking the team, as they did, before Round 22 is played, then my allowance is Patrick Dangerfield on the other flank. He is a mid-forward who No.1 of any mid-forward for disposals, metres gained, contested possessions, inside-50s, clearances and score involvements.
Seems he is underselling Stewart there, but his "justifications" do get betterAnother champion, Alex Rance, has become the easiest selection in these teams, because he’s a fair way ahead of the next best full-back. Rory Laird, too, isn’t a tough call in the back pocket, given his unmatched ability to win the ball as a small defender.
Hawthorn’s Ben Stratton ranks as one of the game’s most undersold guns. How many defenders can subdue Eddie Betts AND a key forward? He’s just pipped Grimes and Geelong’s Tom Stewart for a medium defender slot.
I know the article was originally published yesterday but that last one is a joke - in 2018 Hawins kicked more goals than Buddy (58 vs 57), he had more goal assists (24 vs 18) and he had more score involvements (172 vs 160). If you like Buddy better then just say that, but to come up with some bullshit reason makes it a jokeIn attack, I’ve opted for the contemporary game’s two key forwards, one hybrid, three smalls structure, which leaves no spot for Tom Hawkins or Ben Brown. Lance Franklin has been sore, on occasion he’s been subdued, yet without him, the Swans wouldn’t have a prayer of playing finals. Buddy’s had more scoreboard impact than anyone in the AFL.
I've seen 2 media "journo" AA teams this past week and shake my head reading through their justification.
This is Robbo's AA team:
No mentions of any other Geelong players, and reading through the public comments on the article the biggest criticism is the selection of Rance (I think only Richmond people agree with that) - https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...y/news-story/17ef4411ef47509158723204b599d5e8
Jake Naiall's AA team looks like this:

Buddy is averaging more goals per game then any other player in the comp this year and by a bit of a gap too. He is also top in terms of goals plus goal assists per game combined narrowly beating Hawkins who is second. Riewoldt is a decent way behind those two. Franklin should be the first forward picked. Hawkins should be the second. They are the clear best two forwards this season.AA has become a media profile prize and nothing more.
Rance shouldn't even be in the squad but no doubt he'll be starting FB, likewise Buddy for the above reasons.
Even Martin, he's had an ok year yet all the media continue to talk up his AA and Brownlow chances.
Fact and reality take a backseat.
