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.

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…..

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

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…

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!

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/anglesea-cliff-collapses-with-a-huge-boom-like-a-mine-blast-20211021-p5921e.html

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.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres
