At the end of 2023 and 22 full seasons of AFL since 2000- 19 times we will have played Geelong at State Government Stadium. 21 home games to Geel in that time….the big three playing at Geel in the same period ? .- ESS 1, Carl 3 Coll 0 Ffs 🤦‍♂️

Can't complain that the Twitter writer isn't positive. Not sure glimpse is the right word!! Very poor - kicked first goal inside a minute and kicked three for the rest of the game. They were far too strong around the ball big heavy set players smashed their opponents. The forward line played four talls for 80% of the game and it just didn't work. Could not hold the ball down there and they waltz out when they felt like it. Terlich and Lumumba got plenty of it but got caught it turned it over especially Terlich. The only positive I thought was Mitch King who looked OK in the ruck and got better the longer the game went. Max King struggled unfortunately. Weideman I think I am right had one kick one mark for the day late in the last Qtr. They way they kicked it to him was putrid. Count on one hand how many kicks hit targets. Quite disappointing the day to be honest.

7.4 to 4.2 Williamstown in front at half time

Seagulls right on top 7.3 45 to 3.1 19

Willy getting on top early in the second. 4.2 26 to Casey 3.1 19

3 straight to 2 straight Casey in front. No18 for Willy just took an absolute screamer to kick their second. 16 mins and last two MFC to add are Hulett and Mitch King. Baker has 2 of the 3 goals for scorpions

Terlich kicks the second after a four bounce effort from half back. Add stretch and Michie to list of MFC players. 2 goals to nil 7 mins in

Goal to Casey in first minute

Hasn't started yet just out of the rooms. No team sheets left but so far I can see Weideman, Neal Bulleen, Mak King, Mitch white, Terlich, hunt, & Lumumba

I'm not smart enough to know how to format it better from the table it came in !!!! Will have another crack It does look terrible

Imagine if that poor excuse for a journalist on AFL.com who was real clever showing a side we apparently missed out on, did some research. Rather then showing blokes who were picked 16 picks later how about try the next pick as that shows who the next club thought was the one we missed out on. Makes a whole different story 2006 12.

I originally thought the same thing but watching him he was giving it everything and not everyone can be running machines. We have had many blokes that run like the wind in pre season and can't get the pill when it matters.

could say the same for Tappy .................................. Nah positive thoughts for 2014 time to turn the corner !!!

Went down for a look. Quite a few players stayed inside (or I assumed they did). Absent from the outside stuff were Clark, Toumpas, Watts, Jamar, Dawes, Tapscott, Barry, Kent, Clisby, Brynes, Blease Frawley, Terlich, Gawn joined in stages. Viney did 95% as did Hogan and Michie Spencer and McDonald did laps Tyson and Garland did lap after lap running. Tyson pulled away from Garland on every lap so I reckon he ain't far away from full training Bail, Grimes, Vince, Cross, Dunn & Jetta broke away and did some timed lap running that was exhausting. Bail led them from Cross, Grimes, Vince Dunn & Jetta Strauss run laps on his own Nicholson did a very small amount of training Roos and all the coaching staff were in the middle. Solid session from where I sat went about 1and 1/2 hours if they started at 9.30am

Got down there for about 90 mins this morning. Hopefully if I forget anyone others that were there may post. Without going any further the highlight by far was seeing Mitch doing some 1/2 pace run throughs for about 30 mins and then kick to kick with Dawes for about 20 mins. Was using both feet with his kicking. Even better was when he was finished he stayed out on the track to watch the guys do a full length training drill. Itching to join in he was. The only player i couldn't see out there was Grimes but everyone else was out doing something. Evans, Dawes and Hogan did laps as did Dunn. Sylvia and Trengove with Gillies and two others did about 80% of the work I saw. The new draftees were doing 3/4 pace run throughs on the far side of the ground before they joined in some of the ball work drills. They along with Tynan and Barry then went to athletics track for fitness training. Plenty of those 150 - 200 m sprints with the majority of the group doing those. Standouts Mc Donald, Nicholson, Howe, Jones, Watts, Blease (relative to where he has been) Magner. Couple of full length kicking drills with fast ball movement with hands to carry the ball some beautiful foot skills on display from Jimmy Toumpas and Dom Barry doing this drill that got Neeld excited. Toumpas looks like an absolute jet. Everything he did looked athletic, smooth and with control. His kicking was superb. Then some full length drills where basically it was "chaos calls" by the coaches and working really hard on transition from defence to attack or vice versa. Guys i noticed included Howe, Jones, Taggert, Blease and Jetta. Viney was involved in everything to today but was really blowing hard afetr the 200m sprints. looked quite distressed however motored on for the rest of the 90 minutes I saw. Jack Hannath trained the whole session. Any questions happy to try and answer They were still hard at when I left.
