Geez it’s embarrassing we are out of the finals with rubbish teams like the Saints playing

Mercenaries jumping ship.

Crap Just googled it. Hope it’s not true. Sad ☹️

Mental health issues with Polec? Feel for the guy just interested how you think that would explain some of their decisions?

One of my favourite footy memories being at that game. He would have got 13 if he played the last quarter. the best demons team I’ve seen.

Cameron by a country mile

He was a gun back in 2010. Not sure what happened. any player with trade value left during our most horrible years aside from jones. I think most people would do the same. After putting in 8 years, I don’t begrudge him. People don’t hate rivers etc for leaving.

No doubt if we don’t improve things could go downhill fast. The bombers though have lost the faith of their group from the drugs cheating and have lost their culture. So although we could lose a couple if we don’t improve next year we would still be in a better position than the bombers. We have a lot more youth coming through and havent traded in culture killers like Stringer

I’m sure we’ll all miss Brayshaw constantly calling Minchington the ‘human meatball’. ? you know coz he is short. Hilarious

Good to hear Pert is performing a thorough review. He needs to set the standards, do his job and make us successful off field to facilitate the on field

My new favourite thread. I will visit often. bombers are a rabble - their arrogance has been shown up. Simply expecting to return to the top coz they are a ‘big’ club. Saad going to their arch rivals is hilarious! They’ve lost their HB line and run. Also Their main forward. Their talls are old and their midfield average. And their captain is one injury away from retirement. no longer a destination club they’ll go to the draft and be bottom 4 for quite some time 20 years without winning a final? Coming up! Hahaha

Why do you say that? Sign him for 3 years. Then sign him for 2 or 3 years after that. What’s the difference?

Carltons strategy must be load up on Half Backs as their midfield is so poor they know they will lose all the centre clearances. clever

Agree with this. Oliver had a few poor games early in the season where he was flicking handballs around too quickly. Then he made the change to take more responsibly and run out of packs. Made a massive difference.

You bloody beauty! Massive piece of the puzzle locked away. Turned down offers and has shown his loyalty. I still think he will be the man to lift the cup for us one day.

Excited about Yze coming but being an assistant is very different to being the head guy. It’s more of a team manager position these days. Hopefully he can assist Goody and the players in being successful next year

He is a beautiful natural kick. Watch him before a game, doesn’t miss. He has a big case of the yips. A sports psychologist is needed. Get his head right and he could be a gun

Gotta feel for Ryder. Played a brilliant game. 32yo won his first final ever. Then does his hammy in the last few minutes. You couldn't script it

Yeah not sure why hat trick has come in recently. Maybe coz scoring 3 is a big deal these days? we have brought in so many annoying Americanisms like lace out and three peat, maybe they are starting on bring in European phrases now??

Smith is a very inexperienced player and he had a fairly poor season. he has only played 18 games in his career, so this signing is on potential. He has a massive leap, is 6"3' and very agile and quick. Obviously he needs to learn the footy smarts and quickly. but if he got some continuity and confidence I think he could be a player. Play on a small quick fwd and take intercept marks, similar to Howe. Before I get shouted down, I am not saying he will be as good as Howe, just trying to think what the MFC would be thinking with him.

I have been wondering where you are coming from, but I think you must not rate Viney that highly and I do. he might not be a star but he is one of our best players as seen in the BnF. I'd have him as top 6 most important players on the list. This might be the last contract of his career so I do not begrudge him at all trying to get a reasonable deal. No player is driven to succeed more than Vines so I feel confident he would not shaft the club by being unreasonable. to say he is holding the club over a barrel by demanding too much or not showing leadership is harsh imo. especially when we have no idea what is really going on

even worse Cats would not be top 4 without Hawkins. they look terrible when he doesn't play or plays poorly. they boring keepings off game only works if the the fwds mark it

Geelong versus WC. good lord, can they both lose? Cats will have 2 days rest on WC but I'd still back WC to get over the line in the Tim Kelly cup

What a choke from Hawkins. 4 behinds and one didn't register. he has had a great year but bottled it tonight Port are a better team than geelong, too much pace and flair. plenty of good kicking skills in their back half too

No doubt he and everyone else, needs to take the list and future success of the club into account but he deserves to get his share of the money. He is one of our best players and should be getting paid well above AFL average. comparisons to average Aussie income are irrelevant. So he should be ok with many players getting double his wage, some of whom aren't as valuable as he is? you must be joking? you really think quality senior players in the LG at Geelong are on 300K?
