    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.

    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.

     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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
