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

    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: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
