Would be good to hear from Kingy post this intraclub. He hasn't done a lot of media which is fine, there probably hasn't been a lot to say but I think it would be good to hear his thoughts now.

41,252 as of today. Looks like the membership campaign has got +1,000 in a couple of days. For those who haven't signed up to even an armchair membership, why?

He found the footy a bit but has no authority when in possession. I'm sure it will come with confidence but he needs to drive forward with his legs and with the football.

I couldn't agree more with all of the above and it's probably why you need Windsor or Kozzy in the centre bounces with Sparrow.

Sparrow was terrific. His impact has always been solid but his production has increased. Could be a break out season as a genuine mid.

I thought his highlights looked really tidy with plenty of upside but that's exactly what they are - highlights. There must be some serious flaws in his game to have that much talent and not get drafted, rookied or SSP'ed.

He's a certain starter for for all the reasons you have mentioned above. With regards to his very light preseason, I'd say he's able to guide the club on how to best manage his body. His off-field habits are also elite and this gives him that bit more leeway when it comes to actual training loads.

Particularly after the club were happy to take supporter $$ to get Gosch’s extended to MCG sized. If I recall correctly, Peter Lawrence put up ~$100k.

Looks like he has a girlfriend who is a local, which is the best way to retain interstate talent.

We don’t fit under one roof but we’re a 5 minute walk in the great southern stand of the G. Do the players really need to be seeing the corporates day in day out to be a good football club! It’s an absolute furphy for mine.

I could not agree more. Casey is a class facility now. AAMI suits the players. I don’t see why this needs changing unless Caulfield isn’t coming to fruition?

Waverley is not a long term solution. It’s dated and that’s why Hawthorn has left it. It’s also closer to Casey than the G

Waverley definitely happening (unfortunately)

Great report @Brenno Completely agree regarding Gawny burning runners past to kick himself. He’s not too bad of a field kick mostly but it slows play down. Not sure King will want him doing this. The point about lack of interest from McAdam. It would be hard to get motivated rolling into the club every day to run laps while you watch your teammates play footy. Why isn’t he doing even the basic warm up drills? If he can run at a good clip for 90 minutes then surely there are some drills in which he can partake. There doesn’t seem to be an integration plan with him and unsurprisingly the club have said nothing about him.

Drivers Depot officially now our Co-Principle partner alongside Zurich. A slot which requires much more $$ than Penrite front top and back top spots. Will be interesting to know more about Drivers Depot and who is funding it.

Sorry I had misinterpreted the initial post.

Latrelle Pickett is so dynamic. An awesome fend/ shrug followed by an agile baulk with about 5 minutes left in the session capped off an exciting effort. Hope it was captured by the media team for those not in attendance. I haven't seen this before but there were times when Jeffo was aggressive. Someone on the forums called Kolt unfit in another thread. He dominated the running at the end and even had Sharp covered. He might not have impacted as much as we'd of liked but he definitely isn't unfit.

Deakin have poured a heap of $$ into their facility for Geelong footy club at the Waurn Ponds campus. Couldn’t see them wanting to be involved with us.

Was that comment by MRC Chair made at Caulfield yesterday? If so, that’s as positive a titbit as we’ve had in a long time. It must be government funding given the secrecy and that we’ve established other stakeholders are on board with the exception of the MRC who wouldn’t be able to stop the project. Nice update RL. Appreciate it.

This post is spot on. Even if it’s not progressing like we had hoped, let us know.

Penrite have no lube left after it was all used on the MFC by Drivers Depot who have secured a spot on the back of our once famous guernsey from a back room of a flat in Craigieburn.

Kolt will be a star! The high half forward/ pressure role is the hardest to execute, especially for young boys coming in. Add to that our horrible style of the last year or so. No doubt for me a bit more freedom in his role and our ball movement will do him the world of good. Many of us wrote of ANB around the 2-3 year mark.

Perhaps the clubs announcement of a new major partner will have some context on this start up. Oh wait.. not like the MFC to keep us in the dark 🙃
