PHIL READ

Posted

I have just read that Phil Read will be playing for the Geelong VFL team this season. What happened here? Was he not required at Sandy or did he get a better offer from Geelong? Maybe he just didn't want to be associated with Melbourne after being delisted. Does anyone know the full story?

 

Originally I heard he was going to play in the EDFL, but apparently he somehow knew Cameron Ling and the Cats approached him and Geelong appealed cos he can spend more time down the surf coast.

I remember Ling last year on The Footy Show talking about how he thought Read was unlucky to be dropped at one stage.

It would make sense if they are mates.

Thouht that he announced his retirement after the GF win.

Has he / Geelong dome a Mal Michael / Bummers type deal????


Hopefully we wont see an Armstrong out of him now

Can't happen cause

1. Cats are no good

2. He is not on the Senior or Rookie list.

 

I can tell you straight out that his decision to play for Geelong is souley based on one thing; he likes to surf.

Armstrong was lucky he is an average player and always will be, like 'wotsisname' who went to Sydney and played in a flag

I think u will find Jolly is a sensational player and one of many mistakes Melbourne has made

I agree it was a mistake however he is not a sensational player, most swans fans blame his poor performance for their GF loss last year, and if he really is that good why would they get Everitt?

Edit: Woohoo, 500 posts!!

Occo, it is these sort of comments that make me wonder whether or not you are an agent provocateur.

Allowing Barassi to go to Carlton - a big mistake.

Jolly to Sydney - yawn.

Ok our ruck ATM is ordinary. Infact i think we have one of the worst ruck players in the leigue. Yes white is great and has been sensational for us for many years but he is older and the limitation of running into the ruck has ruined his game (as he needed a runup due to his height). I cant see Jamar ever being that good and with Jolly we would look very good. Yes jolly left on his own terms so its kinda pointless argument but he is a very good player

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
