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.

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…

Posted (edited)

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
