Doesn’t look like Tom McDonald is starting judging by the club’s instagram stories.

90% chance of a thunderstorm at 5pm in Ballarat according to my phone

Terrible timing at the start of the season and in an out of contract year for the kid 😬

Not really similar cases considering, as you say, Stewart did a full pre-season. Bowey’s not going to have that behind him, he hasn’t even run since early December so don’t expect him to come back being his best

So Jefferson is out injured not replaced by Kentfield as was ‘reported’

The mistake was not trading him to Geelong a year earlier for a first rounder and nearly a million off our cap ! Now we pay 700K for him to plod around Sydney for another six years or whatever it is, disaster!

Who cares? Get over it

If there’s one team that couldn’t give a stuff about pre season games it’s probably Geelong

He’s not just ‘missing early rounds’ though is he? He hasn’t had a pre season. Been injured, hasn’t even run since December, that makes a massive impact on a player’s year. Not to mention, he suffered one of the worst foot injuries you can do, it’s changed and ruined people’s careers. To think that he’ll come back from that into last year’s form is ridiculous really.

Interesting

How long has everyone been saying this though? It never happens. They were in a grand final five months ago. They’ll have an ordinary year this year then bounce back again.

Geelong and WB would have been preparing for this for over 12 months. They’re not going to miss this opportunity by not having room in the cap for him. This sort of stuff is meticulously planned, they both can do it. He’s not leaving Port to come train at Casey or Dingley, all the talk is he wants to be close to Bacchus Marsh, where he’s from.

Doesn’t even bare thinking about to be honest he’s not coming to us it’s bulldogs or Geelong

The game is not until tomorrow at 4pm it is on Kayo and fox footy

Type in the AFL website all the information is right there it’s easy

Were they expecting May to find a home? Is that why we seemingly had to pass on Derksen?

10 touches and 4 intercepts in the first quarter

The other comment is referring to Elijah Hollands

Think this guy is the reason Kolt’s being trialled down back. They’ll want to get games into Matthews this year. Chandler, L Pickett and Matthews the smalls.

We’ll regret not making a spot for this guy.

Don’t love that we’re playing Kolt at half back over Xavier Taylor just get games into him would’ve been my thought

Except for 2 or 3, that’s not where our players live though? Most are based around Carnegie / Malvern and Bayside, it’s a terrible drive, and I’m sure part of the reason we struggle to attract good talent from other clubs. Young people in their 20’s with money don’t want to move to Tooradin or Mt Martha just to be close to Casey Fields

So you’re trading a future first because of these guys? Don’t think so

Who?

Not to mention out of contract. JVR’s 5th year. These two aren’t babies anymore, have to show something
