KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
… We are just not used to having star players are we?

I like how it’s not attached to a percentage of the cap!

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
Pickett for a decade is a no brainer because he can age gracefully into a fwd pocket if he speed goes or if he can’t maintain being a midfielder. Same with CP5, the ones that may end up biting us are one dimensional mids that may be literally surplus to the requirements of a modern midfield.

I have no time for another app, no time for your antics; Kozzie is about to sign! Why it’s Kozzie signing rumour maybe actually true day!

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
If Pickett is going to stay, someone on big coin may have to go…

That sounds a bit upside down…

Congratulations Daisy Pearce - Inducted into AFL Hall of Fame.
Very proud moment for her and the community that this club represents. Whether some wanted to or not - the club spent a lot of capital forwarding the opportunities of women in our sport and I was proud then of the stories we were to enable and prouder still of the names Daisy and Erin and whoever is next…

PREGAME: Rd 14 vs Port Adelaide
Pick the best 22 but also gift games to KPFs that are the definition of struggle… It’s not as black and white as an ‘either or’ - but is not far from it.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
We are not a good team. We are getting better with what we are working on but progress isn’t linear - that last qtr decision making from CP5 and CO13 is a step back. Can they make two steps forward later in the season in a close game? I hope so. Because we are applying consistent effort and are letting ourselves down with execution I am satisfied that we may not waste this season. But we need our senior players to age into graceful decision making golden years like Pendles and Sidebottom.

What its the best structure
Unfortunately, I think we have plethora of NQR tall forwards atm.

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
So we ended up winning expected score. Now to litigate… 🤞

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
I dunno, I think we are a chance to pinch this on expected score… 🤞

Stats File - 2025 edition
Quite. The key to getting our front half defensive game going (the keeping territory part) is getting it in there without an immediate intercept. Having kicks that are to the benefit of your teammate - what a novel concept… I am still amazed at that CP5 stat… No wonder most think he and Clarrie can’t hit the side of a barn.

That Petracca stat is laughably pathetic. You want to know why Rds 1-5 happened - there’s your indication - he (and others) were dumping it in there, and we would have probably had players leading to spots that were rarely used due to the hangover of the territory game. Now we have a better sense for what we want to do and how we want to enter the 50.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
I tell myself that he has excellent technique in going in with his shoulder and hips to pick the ball up but it is always a risk in our 360 degree game that a late hit in a marking contest from a boy out of his depth is what he cannot avoid. All we can do is hope for the best and if the worst comes - accept it with grace.

Time to go Goody?
That First Crack vision was really insightful. Looks like the ANb role has been democratised and platooned with Langdon the headline act. and it is a way for Oliver to tic-tac with CP5 and get CB attendances for Rivers with Oliver shadow boxing as a forward to release Petracca. I am sure this is a evolution that isn’t hard to think up, but to get buy in from established stars to do this is always impressive to me..

Time to go Goody?
And the shorter/shallower looks into the fwd line - you could see it in spurts last year as you say. Habits are hard to break and harder to form - the notion this turns on a dime is as laughable as those Carlton supporters who think they can do the same. Unless you have been hammering that Plan A gameplan for 12+ months, nothing is suddenly going to ‘click’ across 23 young people trying to execute their roles. It’s edifying where we are at now - frustrating it took to the heartbreaking end to 2023 to make us change. But that is a story from a time long ago in a galaxy far away…

Geelong to be fined over 3rd party payments
This is protected corrupt behaviour. Know a Geelong coterie member who is also a drunk and they are so up their own you know what’s that they think it is justified. Wasn’t there a lawyer on here having a go at me about this last year? Vaguely recall something.

Sinnema to hold down wing in the AFL in 2026? Getting out ahead of your ski’s here.

Time to go Goody?
Apt username. The old game plan was entirely territory based and would generate 72 Inside 50s in a final against Collingwood that would produce 60 points. The team had no space and just hoofed it in there hoping for a different outcome in line with the definition of insanity. Now the team is making the ground bigger, moving it with more boldness off the backline and we are generating better looks with a maligned, if effective, forward line.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Neither, which is why I am intimating in my posts that if his form doesn’t recover and/or he doesn’t evolve - he is going to be moved on.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I literally said he didn’t tag against Sydney in the post you quoted. Tag/Run with - basically someone whose first instincts is to make sure someone else does not get the footy at a contest. There is no such thing as ‘tagging’ as meant back in the Simon Godfrey days. So it can mean ‘run with’ now.
