With those talking about Cotton on, all I Will say is that when Covid hit, some Geelong staff got jobs with the DC and worked shifts whilst stood down. But it is very much a place where friends of employees get work. So it’s not exactly a place where it’s how good you are but who you know and what schools/local teams you belong too.

    And good on Jeremy for finding himself some part time work away from his Geelong gig.

    So much for their policy of paying 'unders'.

    That could easily shut the door on GWS matching (who reportedly offered a few hundred thousand less) so Geelong get to keep all those juicy first round picks.

    Goodwin and the FD need to get themselves sorted, now. 

    How much longer are we going to chant this mantra in tolerance and patience of proven mediocrity from Goodwin and the hallowed FD?

    We have - or are - or maybe are not but remain forever disingenuous - conducting a resounding Club analysis through the top to the chewy-packet openers. If retention is being justified it ain't good enough.  The broom must come into play now, sweeping away the cause of recent histories at the MFC to embark on a total build of success 'in an instant'. 'Getting sorted' has already been an annual mantra for years and has proven to be far from achieving.

    You have to wonder whether it is a variation on the Carlton play last year with Martin.

    Load the first year so the departing club won't match it thus protecting your draft picks.

    The system is so easily manipulated it's almost comical. The Cotton On job for his wife if true smells but I have great sympathy for the role of what are known in the expat world as "the trailing spouse".  So as long as the position is justified based on salary and experience I'll let that go.

    and as long as her job is not some made up consultant or special advisor role either.

    Why do Jeelong spell their name with a “G” is more the question...?

    Sydney did it over 9 years. Alot different to Jeelong 

    This is paperbags and jobs off the record  for a number of players...

    The thing Geelong have historically done well is not paying overs because guys are happy to head home. Sneaky little land package opportunity and they’re happy. 
     

    If Cameron is on 900k the question is how much is that overs? Not sure it really is for a big key forward. 
     

    Their list is light on depth, light on young up and comers who get big pay rises and heavy on over 30’s who have made good money for a long time. It’s a good strategy if you want to always be in contention and constantly restocking with talent. And with so many players keen to head down to sleepy hollow they have a steady supply

    There's a lot in what you say....

    The next European visit to the area was by the explorers Hamilton Hume and William Hovell. They reached the northern edge of Corio Bay – the area of Port Phillip that Geelong now fronts – on 16 December 1824,[23] and it was at this time they reported that the Aboriginals called the area Corayo, the bay being called Djillong.[11] Hume and Hovell had been contracted to travel overland from Sydney to Port Phillip, and having achieved this, they stayed the night and began their return journey two days later on 18 December

    Agreed. If talent is going to keep bleeding out of feeder clubs then the Geelongs of this world need to pay with their own blood.

    Damn right, well played GWS.

    Well well well, I always thought @Sir Why You Little was acting like a 12 year old. BUT it turns out he is ahead of the curve and subversively requesting colonialist names be removed, nicely researched @Diamond Jim

    If memory serves correctly, Cameron gave Tom Boyd a parting swipe on Twitter for leaving the Giants.
    Not unhappy to see this turn a little bit bumpy for him.

    With GWS matching it means the timeline is no longer in the FA period and falls into the Trade period ie until November 12, more than two weeks away.

    It has the potential to hold up a range of other deals with GWS waiting to know what picks/players it gets back so it can decide list needs and whether to use those picks for other trades eg Preuss, TMac etc

    To spell it with a D would be even more intriguing!!

    Yes, potentially huge ramifications.

    If Daniher, sometimes brilliant but quite fragile, netted Pick 7 (albeit by compensation, not trade) which equates to 1644 on the AFL Draft Value Index, then it can be argued that Cameron's value should be more.

    Possible scenarios (equivalent value in terms of AFL Draft Value Index):

    • Almost Pick 3, GWS get picks 13, 15 and swap 30 for 37
    • Almost Pick 4, GWS get picks 13, 20 and swap 30 for 37
    • Pick 5, GWS get picks 15, 20 and swap 30 for 37

    I was also thinking that if GWS get Ratugolea (who reportedly they want) they are less likely to want TMac.  And we could be waiting for GWS trades to do North (or other) trades.  Just guessing but we and other teams could be held up by GWS matching.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
