The Jackson FIX

It was later scientifically proven that Sam Blease was the worst top 20 draft pick in the history of any sport. Ever.

I don’t really know what that means

So far this trade period we have; Kosi, Trac & Oliver on the way out Tom Campbell and Wade Derksen coming in. I’m drinking more in the off-season to cope than I did during the season proper.

I’m ok with listening to ‘reasonable’ offers for him but Geelong’s top picks are 15 & 35 in this draft… doesn’t help any perception of stability we’re trying to build when club’s without the assets encourage stories like this

Looking forward to this thread becoming dormant. It gives me zero joy.

Was thinking the very same thing… there have been some great Irish players in the last 15 years and we’re nowhere near them… feel like we could’ve leveraged Jim’s legacy for competitive advantage in appealing to the best ones too.

I believe he was the smart play for us. His position and ability to move the ball quicker/smarter/better into our mids and forwards is most important one we need to fix if we are a chance of a flag in the next 5 years (which I believed we were).

People are highlighting examples of trading that didn’t come off eg McAdam/Fullarton/Grundy to rationalise their anger at Lamb but my guess is no Geelong supporters are displaying anger that experiments like Dahlhaus didn’t work. Geelong‘s list-management success lies in their ability to pivot effectively over the course of a few years, albeit with a leg-up from their attractiveness as a unique destination eg Jeremy Cameron. Lamb still deserves that chance to show he can pivot (although he is running out of time) but it isn’t just the role of Lamb, it is a football department accountability. I’d have head of football under more pressure than Lamb is right now

Spoke really well, wouldn’t have been easy. Love him.

The irony for a side that gets so well looked after by the umps in a game

Should have a bet on him, put to $5 to win

3-ish years on a 5 hundred-ish contract would be end of 2nd round is my guess so early 40s

In Noosa

Bec Maddern, please stop.

Diggler has chosen the Dees!

And walking from table to table handing out his sizzle reel

They’re hardly Robinson Crusoe on this

He’s more advanced than that. Been training with a functional trainer called Max Pertzel for at least the last few weeks and judging by their socials he seems to be lifting decent weights already.

The mind boggles how he won an award for journalism.

I’m not sure if finally developing a home base for the oldest professional football team in the country he governs is a stupid enough idea to qualify for Albo’s support

Isn’t Hind delisted and Stringer on the way out? Doesn’t feel like there is a lot in this…

I don’t think that is correct… or at least he wasn’t on the article showing 2024 free agents on the AFL site

Is our 2nd rounder about the right price? I haven’t seen lots of him although watched closely as he carved us up late in the year.

They can’t read/write particularly well but a collection of indignant cave drawings of a similar theme has been discovered

You’d be pretty disappointed if you wasted even a micro-payment on that article
