Geelong’s continued assistance from state, federal, and local govt
We don't have a proposal yet? How about holding your horses until we actually see what we get WHEN we figure out where we can even build our home base.

I'm pretty sure they do have a GA section its just not very large. If Melbourne had 60k members we could theoretically make them all reserved seating and have no GA at our home games either (when you exclude MCC/AFL Members reserves)

Welcome to politics - you never heard of "pork barreling"?

It's their home ground, why should they accommodate opposition supporters?

It's called politics - "marginal electorates"

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Maybe he's put a ridiculous price on his head because he doesn't want to leave Collingwood
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
Why? He has a 2 year contract on big money. He can keep his current salary as well as his spot on an AFL list, he doesn't have to sacrifice.

Football Program Review
Maybe he will be ok but the problem is our forward structure is deplorable and one of the worst coached areas of our side. Our forwards do not know how to create space, how to work for each other, how to set up and play as a unit. Stafford does not have the experience to teach that particularly with Brown coming in fresh, Weideman needing to take the next step and Kossie needing guidance if he is to become a key part of our team moving forward. Instead of someone with experience and a fresh perspective we have just moved one of our existing staff sideways. Similar to the "review" of 2019 there is hardly any new blood in at all, all just shuffling deckchairs. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating though and ultimately the results early next season will tell us if this has been a success or not. No second chances, if we don't improve in 2021 (and by improve I mean show real evolution in our gameplan and structures and a dedication to playing every minute of every game at the required effort) Goodwin will be done and so will the rest of them bar Yze I would imagine.

Football Program Review
I don't like it. The structure seems wrong and there's hardly any fresh blood (Yze the exception). We need to refresh our coaching structure, we need a real forwards coach not a makeshift one who has been moved sideways. I'm not really sold on Chaplin either, he's never filled me with much confidence but I guess the defence performed well this year whether that was on him or the playing personnel is to be seen. Mahoney has gone from being in the race for CEO to having his role split in half and given a token task sitting on the committee to sort out the new base. If he's not up to the role of GM of Football then move him on for someone who is up to it. Richardson has been appointed to the other half of the role by the mere fact he was already contracted so we had to do something. The club needs to be aiming for top 4 next year, anything below top 6 is another fail. This "review" does not fill me with any confidence whatsoever.

Joe Daniher
How much is Daniher getting from the Lions? Chip was given a big contract which is why we got band 1 compo

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Geelong have 3 first round picks don't they? Probably can work a trade for a player with one to a 3rd club.
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
Overrated because he's at the Pies. Still nothing special.

Isaac Smith
I'm not that sad he's gone to the Cats. I don't want us to be a super plan for past it players.
