In the past I was in favour of playing weed down back. I'm not sure of the NSW distancing rules but can we now train as a team 2-3 days a week? That will make the biggest difference to our "connection"

When I saw the inclusions I thought the plan would have been to provide defensive pressure to lock the ball into our forward line,? Instead we see the ball chipped around to loose Geelong players. It is hard to judge our backline when they are exposed so easily by the lack of upfield pressure. In other games I was frustrated that our forwards were not in the forward line.I can only hope that we are "rusty" and that at the end of this season we will see what our side can do.

They are mates who have come through together and I believe share a house as well. I could be completely wrong that it may affect Rivers game, but he has played just one game to date. I also realise that bIgs take longer and that Rivers may hold his place now.

It is difficult to know what the plan for this year is unless you are inside the club. Our problem has been the lack of games the KPB and KPF have played together since lever and may were recruited. I do think that the presence of Omac allows the others the ability to play their strengths. TMAC needs to be coming out of the square or running his man around to create space for the others. Jackson will require someone to mind him. As far as selection goes could Jackson and Rivers have been told that they were getting a taste this week but not playing the following game? I think that Rivers may find it hard to play without Jackson there? If Omac comes in and Jetta is replaced by smith that would bring structure to the backline. Are we treating this season as the preseason for 2021? I'm not sure wholesale changes will be made as I think the aim is get continuity as well as blood some youngsters.

Great players! Loved the flash, who invented "forward pressure" There is some vision of flash sidestepping a few players in a forward pocket. They were mesmerized! Wheels was tough and none can forget that hit on hird!. Congratulations and well deserved!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines!

Love the 7 early games at the G. Great for us country folks!

Have the best people in our medical/conditioning department now. I would be concerned for him if they decline.

Difficult for GC. Carlton in the box seat unless GC select him in the PSD.

Ok. So he is not a restricted free agent?

Isn't he a contracted GC player? If there is no trade he needs to wait another year? If they let him through to carlton they get nothing. If they take him in the PSD then they get compo for him and get something. It seems that they need to take a stand as a club

I am thinking that Melksham and Hibberd fit will make a huge difference to the team

If we are down for just this year, we need it to count.

A 6 in disguise?

Mason Wood?

We have leverage with pick 3. We should look to get a good deal and a good player that suits our needs.

SEN reporting that Tom Papley wants to come back to Melbourne and that he doesnt care who he plays for. Surely we should be looking at him with pick 3?

Without knowing what the rationale for recruiting Tomlinson is I suspect that he is a solid citizen who can release other players to play in other positions. May playing marking Wing/forward. I suspect that we will be developing a number of forwards from within which should include OMac and Petty

This is the point. We could have any number of picks and concessions but still screw it up. Not unhappy that GC is getting help, p!ssed off that we can't manage our club properly. Better start in 2020

Any chance at Bentleigh? Resident issue there as well?

I had a suspicion about this and now it is confirmed. At least we can do something about it now!

Branding? or Our Brand is ect

If Vandenberg can get out there we wont need him

He was one of the geelong players that stood out for me in the elimination final last year. Big bodied. Reminds me now of vandenberg. We need one of these players in our side at least

Very well said TK. I'm hoping the fitness guru will give some players the ability to play roles that we have only dreamed of. That said we do need specific role players brought in and then look out in 2020!
