I don't want to sound critical of Jeff's excellent analysis but there were 4 shocking and uncharacteristic mistakes in there by Brisbane - Fort's dump miskick out of D50, Payne's fumble on the wing, Ashcroft's absolute clanger kick across goal and Payne's terrible 10m fluffed kick in their D50. Fagan will be livid with that last quarter. But I guess all of those mistakes were in part due to our pressure and set up behind the ball so we'll take it. Great last quarter Dees!

JVR is the new Roger Dorn. One handed [censored]

Tholstrup looks so disinterested. Clearly having a sook in the VFL. Going to be a long 3 years until his contract runs out

A. Not currently - can change B. A few worth looking at in the VFL (McMahon, Garoni, Mason) and in the WAFL (Clarke, Hunter, May) C. Unknown quantity with uninspiring previous goalkicking stats in the WAFL

Try the last 32 years! We have only had 2 decent key position forwards since then (Neitz and Hogan). And even now when it is patently obvious that we still don't have a good KPF, the club refuses to look at recruiting one in the mid season draft. Maybe we are gun shy after all the failed attempts at recruiting and developing one

What about a key forward??!! We have had 2 decent ones (Neitz and Hogan) in the past 32 years. Hetherton or Ludowyke please!

How long has he been "working on his fitness"? We've been saying this for almost 2 years now! He looked completely shot on the weekend. He did a good job on Newcombe but it will be an absolute disaster if he has to tag this weekend against better running midfielders in Neale, Ashcroft, McCluggage and even Dunkley. He won't be able to keep up

Doubt it. Viney out again this week

Extraordinary: https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/afl-footy-boss-laura-kane-considering-building-a-training-venue-for-west-coast-and-fremantle-in-melbourne-c-18635580 "The AFL is investigating the option of building a specialist training venue for travelling clubs in Victoria to end the problem of them constantly searching for an oval to prepare for their games at Marvel Stadium and the MCG."

And a key forward. Archie Ludowyke kicked another 2 for the AFL Academy today

Finally won the tackle count! Effort, effort, effort. And it's amazing what message is sent to the rest of the group when big name players are dropped. Go Dees!

Sorry, missed that. Still, a 1 second brief mention of the most integral guy in a 30 minute interview

Barry Prendergast says hello

Didn't hear Scott mention Stephen Wells once, the person most responsible for Geelong's list over the past 30 years. Still can't believe he picked a kid (Humphries) at #63, whose last game before being drafted was in the WAFL ressies GF. Nor picking up Atkins, Blicavs, Close, J.Henry, Z.Guthrie and Dempsey all in the rookie draft. Wells is the real mastermind

Yeah pretty easy to attract players when you have $300m+ worth of facilities paid for by the taxpayer

5 games into his third season and he has effectively taken only 1 contested mark so far this season. That is a massive concern for a KPF. Sure the delivery to him has been poor overall but there have been enough entries inside 50 (249 in total) to work with. He needs to go back to Casey and work on his marking and regain his confidence

And the search for a decent KPF goes on.... 32 years since the debut of Neitz 7 years since trading out Hogan 2 days since the demise of JVR Potential option for the future, Archie Ludowyke. Kicked 3 goals against Richmond VFL on the weekend in a rep game from limited opportunity. As mentioned by @Chelly5 months ago, most likely a top 10 draft pick this year. How are we going to secure a top 10 draft pick for this kid?

Wooden spoon won't matter. He has a lifetime free pass like Adam Simpson. He'll go when he wants to

Learn to take a mark again....in the ressies

Cmon, the home base problem has been dragging on since 1965, when we were forced to share our home ground with Richmond (thanks to Ray Dunn and the MCC). Multiple boards over the past 60 years have compounded the problem but the current board is now in a pretty good position to finally solve it with the Caulfield plan

It's Mr McAdams fault

With soccer balls

And only 2 contested, one of which was a blatant push in the back by him on Guthrie. He must be dropped
