Are Geelong leading the field with there new trading strategy? It has never been done before, it could be as smart as north Melbourne where in the 70's with the new 10 year rule, will other clubs head down the Geelong path, it could be a stroke of genius.

We have AFL and AFLW already. AFLM is the logical next step and Geelong have well and truly got the AFL Masters covered...they could even bring back Gary (maybe both of them?).

    Everyone in the media are creaming themselves over Smith a higgings coming into Geelong, I can see a cliff coming for Geelong, the walking sticks will come out at about round 18.

    Yes, and depending what GWS can prise out of them for Cameron, it may be that Geelong will hardly be touching this draft.

    Higgins got North pick 30 at 33yo, surprising.

    A lot of Geelong’s recruiting begins years ahead of the actual move. They’ve been chasing Higgins for 10 years plus, and into Cameron for the last 5 or so. 

    Their regional setting and links to the far reaches of the south west through the falcons, mean they have an inherent advantage to recruiting these types.

    Whether it’s a good strategy or not remains to be seen.

    How Geelong does it???

    Well they haven't since 2011 and don't look like it any time soon.

    Chasing a flag & topping up with 2x 32yo in Higgins & Smith to add to how many 30+ yo on their list? High risk?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
