I'm still waiting for any journo to talk about Tanner Bruhn and his mystery injury. Fascinating how much control Geelong have over the media.

Ahhh... the mysteries and intrigue that surround Midsomer-Barton ......

You'd reckon it would get some coverage in the digital media.

I believe as this is a criminal case, there is a lot that can't be written in the media until his case goes to trial. So it's a legal matter.

Still, lets remember that journalists don't reside in Geelong, and anyone who does is a mad Cats fan. So who is filming or reporting players doing naughty things in the bubble of Geelong? Nobody. That really helps when players behave badly.

You can't tell me that ol' Smithy was caught more than once on camera doing the nose snow while at the Dogs, but has totally changed his ways since moving to the farm... please!

I forced myself to watch Chris Scotts weekly presser.

He was very happy for Steven King.

Gave him a glowing reference apparently.

I despise Chris Scott, but the man knows success.

It was certainly made before King's appointment. As have all these list decisions.

You would expect he was told in his exit interview, but it's only coming out now.

(Actually, it's not even only coming out now, this was being floated in the media nearly a month ago. Looks like the club/May are being a bit more proactive, perhaps hoping they'll get a few more bites.)

Nothing to do with King.

Kings appointment has even made the Geelong Advertiser.....dont ask what I am doing reading that

I remember Malthouse being all praise for Neeld too.

Not saying King is a Neeld but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

Basically confirmed in the Leaks thread that May was told in his exit interview back in August.

No King no Cats

He might be starting Monday.... just sayin' 🤔🙄

Or not 🤔🤷‍♂️🤔😆

Haha I hope he and the cats make it, I live down here and gotta say I hate the other teams so much more and am just rooting for our new coach...GET SOME KINGY!

This turn around is all on King

Weddle (not wettle, as the commentators say), is having a stinker (he’s not alone).

Also helps that there is bugger all to do in Geelong.

Drag Chol and substitute him out. Has been a massive liability.

Please update us regarding this

I told him Demon supporters happy with King, he came back with typical satisfied with 2nd best, so couldn’t resist the Buckley turned premiership team into a losing team. But he was then onto Guerra missing on Essendon CEO role, so just had to laugh!

Wet the beddle?

Am I in the minority in saying that King should not be involved with Geelong?

The minute you are appointed as coach of the Melbourne Football Club, Geelong and the other 16 teams are instantly a rival.

Doing Geelong any form of favour is in contrast to the fiercely competitive elite clubs who don’t have room for niceties. See Sam Mitchell.

Do we then end up with a world where you can’t talk to/interview assistants until their season is over?

I would hate if a dees assistant left in the middle of a finals campaign.

Play on.

Absolutely spot on.

The minute he was appointed with the MFC job, he became a Melbourne man. The guy was so clearly elated and proud to have won the job. And then he goes back to enemy territory.

It’s just a bit weird.
