As if Jee-long would want a 22 year old.

Hahahahhahaha zero picks in the first rnd, dangerous indeed and not knowing for 2 to 4 years if the players are any good, good one Purple. 

Not knowing for 2 to 4 years if players are any good can apply to first round picks these days according to some judges of draft prospects these days.

 

I watched the prelim last night. Geelong weren’t even bad. They just could not run and are so reliant on their older players. Literally their handful of younger players were absolutely putrid.

Also their game plan doesn’t hold up in finals, but it’s the only game plan they can execute with the age and lack of speed on their list. They would die after 10 minutes playing manic two way running defense like we do.

Yes, their talent is like the elves in lord of the rings; their time has come to an end, and they will soon move to the undying lands.

Which of course is Fox Footy.

Doesn’t apply to Jackson, Bowey, Rivers, Kozzi though 🙂

Oh Wells is dangerous alright...

Barrett should just give himself a week off if he doesn't have anything to write...

Sliding Doors: IF you sack some people ... THEN (afl.com.au)

Ok, so what is Wells record of recruiting (not father son picks) good to great players in this pick range (2nd & 3rd rounders)?

Is his recruiting mastery another of those AFL myths?

Seems the Cats have had a big leg up from Father/Son and trading along with some good first rounders early days.

Having a look through 'rpfc' original post, over the last 10 years Stewart was a great get...Kelly.

Very dangerous indeed, an AA defender and a mid who's no longer there. So one player.

But they could trade him for two 44-year olds. It's strategic.

 

Interestingly, talking to a cats staffer yesterday who had asked Wells after the prelim if he was aware of Fristch and tried to draft him. His answer was that we’d gone to great lengths to keep Fritsch well hidden. I find this response quite amusing. I’m fairly certain he was playing regularly at Casey, demonstrating  exactly the qualities that he does now, in the same role, and 3/4 of this forum knew we were keen on him.

Having said that, they did get Tim Kelly before Fritsch, but I’d have Fritta over Lachie Fogarty.

Please elaborate on why you despise Gary Pert so much…..

That team looking at a Cliff: your friend's experience with spuds should be invaluable...

jeelong's chance for a flag passed in 2020 when 16 minute quarters and 17 game seasons were played

 and they failed at the last post.   it was only going to get much harder after that,

they've left their rebuild too long now and will pay for it for some time

hawthorn,  geelong, collingwood and probably richmond in the same leaky boat

loving it......schadenfreude

They might have to resort to this to win more games:

Wells was probably afraid to admit that no-one at Geelong actually knows where Casey is.

Even I could see that Fritta had AFL potential.  Sounds like just an excuse.  If he was hidden it was in plain sight.  Perhaps he had some baggage.

Can i say that I was amazed that a player of this caliber was still available so late in the draft (usually means you have picked a stinker).

FYI 

When we belted Cats last week they had 1 player 21 YO or younger, Melbourne had 7. Great signs for our future. I think it will be 5+ years until the Cats, potentially, will be a force. Suspect Brian Cook (pretty smart fella) saw the writing on the wall and jumped to a list with huge upside - the big bucks Carlton would have thrown at him helps :) Mind you, he still has to deal with the most disfunctional Board in the AFL

Good luck making Carlton work. Have heard this every year for the last 15. It will take at least another 10…

I'm actually quite surprised that a team as old as Geelong (I mean the age of the club, not the players) and as successful as it has been recently, has only won 9 VFL/AFL Premierships overall.

The problem with Geelong doesn’t stop at it’s list, but off field as well. Cook may have been onto something… may have…

Don’t think for one second with the exit of Scarlett, Enright and Matty Knights - there is ‘nothing to see here’.

What makes Chris Scott tick?

If you believe the rumors, coaches and assistants don’t see eye to eye 👁 

Let’s just say there was a bit of frustration in the last quarter of the Round 23 encounter in the Geelong coaches box. And a lack there of … proactiveness, much to Scarlett’s frustration.

Is it any wonder, Scott is now putting up his hand, hollering for a Ross Lyon!

A section of cliff near Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road has collapsed into the ocean.

The kicker is that the area is known as Demons Bluff.

Authorities expect further collapses to occur in the vicinity of Kardinia Park over the next couple of years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
