In an otherwise [censored] morning driving to the Alfred, it was bloody awesome seeing Oliver out there.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 26th January, 2024
I would have any of those players you mention on the wing before Hunter. Agree with you our wing positions are a weakness. I hope Hunter doesn’t play many games and I won’t be surprised if Langdon gets dropped at some point this season. I think we have other players who can be upgrades.

If it keeps raining the grapes are going to be rotten.

Has the Big Bash improved at all?

He’s an unbelievable bowler, love watching him play.

Training Ground?
It will be very interesting who out of Collingwood and Richmond end up getting Gosch’s in the year 2050 when we finally move out.

Australian cricket pitches 🥱.

If we miss the final 8 next year then ...
I won’t be shocked. The competition is ridiculously even, last years premiership team didn’t make finals this year. Sure their list demographic was different but it won’t take much to go wrong for us or most teams that made finals this year to miss.

Warner has been outstanding in the field.

Our bowlers so far making the most of a pitch with some help, hopefully continues.

Mathew Hayden and Shane Watson are very average commentators.

2024 Fixture
Yes unlikely they will push back when they get an extra game the MCG. But I think they might and should if Carlton play GC again at the MCG.

2024 Fixture
Just read the Age article suggesting St Kilda are trying to get a home match at the MCG against Collingwood in round 2. I for one am totally over non MCG tenant clubs getting home matches at the MCG, I really hope Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood push back hard at the AFL on this.

2023 List and Contract Details
I wouldn’t rule out a further list spot becoming vacant.

The Pick 1 Thread
I am not against recruiting Reid because if the recruiters think he will be a gun then happy to go that way. Particularly with question marks over two of our best midfielders going into next year. But I also think our list could really do with two top end players. All drafts are important but with where our list is at this one feels super important.

The Pick 1 Thread
True you never know what your going to get but in Rayner’s draft Noughton was pick 9, Oscar Allen pick 21 and Sam Taylor pick 28. And in Rowell’s draft Hayden Young pick 7, Serong pick 8, Pickett pick 12 and Will Day pick 13. I would much rather two of those over Rayner or Rowell.

Tom Hawkins
He’s kicked over 60 goals five times two of which have been in the last three years. He’s not going to leave Geelong so doesn’t really matter.

Trade Rumours 2023
I know this is a rumour thread but sorry I have to address the midfield talk. I love the input both binman and his pa put into this forum and yes we have a very good midfield and yes you could argue that our best four our the best. But I for one don’t just look at four players as a midfield and for me when you include the wings and some rotations our midfield is not the best. Collingwood’s midfield is / was better than ours this year, their disposal efficiency in particular is much better than ours and they have a better balance and have smarter players than ours.

2023 GRAND FINAL
Not sure I would have called that game boring, not sure I would call it a great game either but it was pretty good.
