considering carlton have 25,000 adult members and we have 21,000, i'm not sure we fare so badly when you consider the mcc members we have.

so is brent harvey, so was craig bradley, so was paul couch........that list goes on

guys who use the ball well off half back are not exactly a dime a dozen at our footy club. he's a must keep.

tenace is a dud. just because he's on geelong's list does'nt make it more likely he'd get a gig elsewhere.

valenti should never be compared to harvey. valenti occasionally gets a hard ball.

exactly. if harvey is having a crack at him after the game it tells me he didn't like the attention, and thats a good thing. considering dunn is in his first year in this role, he's doing a fine job without pretty much all of his better midfield teamates there to help him.

speaking of no improvement, i'm struggling to see where bell is going to improve. who would have thought at the start of the year that chris johnson would cement his spot in the backline and look a real part of our future, and daniel bell would battle to stay on the list.

i reckon Bailey should sit him down, show a tape of that marking attempt 10 times over, then ask him which way he wants his career to go.

if memory serves me Colin Silvia's under 18 coach rated him the "most competitive beast" he had ever seen. i bet he now wishes nobody remembered that comment.

Funny they didn't mention anything about how bad a player colin garland is, as they did in the last match preview. i wonder why.....

doesn't matter where we finish as long as we we win under 4.5 games, but this year it will "only" be a second round pick around 18/19

and those who thought a priority pick in early second round was worth little should have a re-think. we should end up with 3 picks in the top 20 which is huge given the talent available.

big sook. he's entertaining, but i'd hate to have him in my side. as for kicking 800, he kicked most of them by cheating in the goal square. If he's a champion we don't set the sandard high enough.

yeah he does that quite a bit, usually when he goes for the huge punch over the top and either misses or it skims through the back. i think he'll start hitting them cleaner with time. what i like about him the most is that he will get beaten on occasions on the lead, but he rarely gets out positioned one on one.

lol. i think that means he's a star already.

i would say he played half forward pushing up, therefore he didn't get heaps when the flow was against us, but he had a big impact in getting us going imo.

harsh on silvia, i actually thought he made a very good contribution and used the ball particularly well.

i have higher expectations because he was a first round draft pick. thats not bell's fault, but i just want to see something from him to justify why c.c thought he was worthy of first round.

a head case full forward with an ego.........well i never!

terrible comparison....nothing like jamar's sandy performances. silvia has been good for the demons this year overall, in previous years he's been injured and has never played at sandy for an extended period.

unless your talking about melbourne......... we had plenty of 6-7 game losing streaks and still made the finals. it is a nasty habit we have.

my first thoughts when i read taylor's comments was that his very dry sense of humour was at play. are you sure that wasn't the case?

amazing how positive you are when you aren't talking about melbourne. reality check; waite is a freak athlete.....want me to retrace some of your comments about naitanui being a freak athlete? o'hailpin is getting there.....hmmmm...thats not ok according to you for most of our players. thats 2 suspect key-position players, and they gave up their best to get judd. i don't even need to address the fev comment, i assume your joking.

yep,at least............ how long does it take to develop those key position players? and i could be wrong but i just can't see a headcase like fevola in a premiership side.

congrats mate. i took my kids to their first game on saturday at halftime, and they now call the men in yellow cheats, and they think the dees always play like that.
