WE ARE [censored]

They going to do this all night on the rebound. We look so vulnerable.

Garbage

Hard to believe isn’t it.

Umpires being [censored] wits

He needs to spend another season in the 2s - not ready

Kolt having a shocker

Where’s the 50. Clear as day

Kolt ? Wtf

True and i'd feel much better if in any 20-30 year window every team was able to win at least one premiership. When you have the likes of Lions, Hawks, Pies & Cats taking 80% of the premierships in the last 30 years ( i made the number up but it feels about right), then it just feels like you have to work extra hard and things have to go extra right to win one. Lions - in the modern era, handed a number of top 5 picks as F/S and academy players Pies - fanbase and subsequently fixturing gets them a better run that every other team Geelong - blatant cheating with a narrower ground, extra salary cap and the head of AFL commission bending over backwards to give them every possible advantage conceivable. Hawks - I feel like they are just bread to win premierships. no particular advantage springs to mind, but an ability to attract the right people.

He was horrific tonight night. It was way over the top for a player known to have games like this. His best and worst are miles apart.

Geez Freo is such an uninspiring side. Hope Kozzy is watching thinking why would I want to play for this mob.

Agreed practice matches should have counted as they are AFL umpired and suspensions incurred carry though to the AFL season so it should count.

I see Logan Morris as a similar player to Nate Caddy that ultimately turn into a Brody Mihochek type which I think is the model forward of the modern game. The Sam Darcy’s of this world are a unicorn.

What happened to North since they played us? They are incredibly poor. No wonder Trac cracked it.

JVR has been extremely poor all season and playing a poor Tigers team last week was hardly the test for him. Lets see how he goes against Sandy on the weekend and if he can back it up (albeit a scratch match) then i think he is look in for the Hawks game. I'd also like to see a Turner / Petty combination up forward. Milkshake will likely play a negating role on McGovern. Big test for TMac and May playing on Waterman and Allen. Allen is miserably out of form - i think May takes him. TMac to Waterman is a good match-up i think.

im not sure the teams are final. The AFL site still has "Full teams to be announced". Some clubs with TBC etc.

i wonder if Jake Nial's piece today on the failed Oliver trade and then the news that Oliver will not play have any connection. Jake is not the first person that comes to mind when you talk about poor journo's but i find it really tough to believe this is a sheer coincidence. I cant see the MFC pulling Oliver from the team as a result of this story. Which begs the question that TheAge chose to run with this story knowing he was going to be 'managed' this week. You wont be able to prove it, but i genuinely wonder whether there are any credible, ethical and moral journo's actually left in the AFL industry.

The one missing from your list is pressure without the ball. Done it well last 2 weeks. The other watch from me is no Oliver impact. Does he have a positive, negative or neutral impact in the midfield.

I’d say the club has given this info to him voluntarily - not exactly earth shattering 2 hours before it’s official. Also allows the the club to control the narrative.

JUH says thanks Oliver. Watch the vultures feed on this.

What a stupid article. What is the point of further examining a trade that didn’t eventuate. Maybe it’s another Geelong attempt to create some disharmony within the club and pick up a bargain in Oliver.

This was my initial reaction and still somewhat aligned to it. However, this is their workplace and i think everybody has a right to chose their workplace. The media have been far too aggressive in the past few years especially post covid and you have the personalities such as Morris, McClure, Corners, Barret who are disrespectful and at times stoop to gutter trash levels of reporting. As a society we have to recognize the impact that social media is having of people, footy players are no different. The AFL should absolutely be looking at the behavior of some of these journos and their employers and asking for a please explain.

Kentfield looks like he is about to rip Langdon to pieces in Pic #34.

Amazing design. Really impressive.
