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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
