he's been forced to retire as a result of an act of thuggery. i want a first round pick.

i want a first round draft pick as compensation. i am filthy. poor bloke

insert many swear words here. half of them are about maynard.

problem is we start with sydney and both adelaide teams away, as well as brisbane. dogs and hawks are no pushovers either but we should be beating them if we are to make finals. honestly if we are 3-3 i think thatll be a pretty good start. 4-2 and ill be pumped. the fixture does get a touch easier from there in terms of travel etc but its a long way home....

Field kicking an issue.

When I went to training over summer we were missing targets doing lane work. Things have not changed

Well we looked good for about 15 minutes before Richmond showed up. No idea why we didn't have a crack at Jacob Koschitzke in the trade period either

Revive his afl career? Redemption? Far out the media can ride a horse called [censored]

this sent me on a curiosity chase. geelong's average age in 2022 was 28yr 7 months Pies last year was 27year 9 months ours in 2021 was 24yr 10 months our semi final last year, our average age was 26yr 5 months. (the blues were 6 months younger than us) oh, and for reference the youngest team to win a flag was the pies in 2010 at 24 years and 2 months......younger even than the baby bombers. what does this mean? i dont know.

With our draw? Me. Absolutely.

Please excuse the screenshot, was just the easiest way to get our fixture in one place. Our first 6 games are very tough. Syd adelaide and port all away and brisbane. The hawks and dogs will be no pushovers either. I'll be very happy if we are 4-2. 3-3 is no disaster but going 2-4 which is very possible is.

Can still buy online. Must admit I saw the email and thought they'd done a collaboration. Which would have been super smart lol

Honestly it depends on how hungry we are. Is the team as hungry and angry as us fans are? Do the last 2 years burn like a furnace inside? Or are they happy with winning a flag a few years ago?

We need a backup ruckman who can play 15 games a year and allow max to only play 7 or 8 after this year, letting him rest but be fresh when he does play. Like brisbane did with their ruckman in their treble. Is that person english? Na he'd want to be number 1 and fair enough too.

I like thursday night footy... when it's not us. Living 2 hours away makes it very hard to get to, drive home and then rock up to work at 8am friday.

Also i thought noah yze looked very good. Small forward but was agile and elusive.

Hunter was doing run throughs most of the session. I thought the skills in general were quite poor. Although perhaps a wet footy might excuse some of it.

Right, as of now he doesnt exist and has knee soreness

Yes but my point is that its injuries that make it a horrible pre season. And we have very few, touch wood.

I think the one we had in 2019 where we only had about 16 or 17 players actually training at one point would qualify as that though.

Ok but seriously what injury issues do we actually have? Hunter apparently Petty on the slow return Melksham knee but back running Smith and clarry missing.... any others?

Liam ryan is having surgery Some poor kid from the bombers has done his knee But lachy hunter has a mild calf strain and its the preseason from hell

I'll tell you 10 minutes into round 0. If we are as angry and hungry as we should be, lookout. If we arent, well...

Remember that freo comeback game when we were 50 odd points down? Well, leaving that i ended up walking behind the southern stand with the great man. I was rather excited at the time but he was just as happy. "Itll give the boys such a lift". Will never forget that 50m walk.

Future captain imho
