Can’t we have both ?😌

So, if it occurred after curfew we would all have to stay inside and die - earthquake is not one of the exemptions to go outside.

It was seismic forces protesting against being locked down far longer than safety tolerances. WorkSafe Victoria will undertake an investigation with findings released after the next election.

Don’t agree - he is a hard nut but not a thug along the lines of Hardwick and his mate v Green (2000 GF) or Matthews. He sure will fly the flag though.

Mmmmmm.

Given the state of our club at the time, Wines may have flopped and Toumpas may have won a Downlow elsewhere ?? 🙄🙄

Have been watching updates from time to time - I have watched the count in the past and found it as boring as watching grass grow, or like American Football more stop than start. Clarrie, Trac and Max can go for a three way tie for the Norm Smith.

It is just yet another AFL knee jerk rule change - like the deliberate rushed behind (one GF circa 2007), the pre finals bye (one failed 'resting players' in round 23 circa 2015) , statue on mark for ? whatever reason. Some administrators just think they have to make changes for the sake of it.

Should have gone down the highway to KP.

Gil / Hocking ego > brain?

Agree entirely with paragraph 2. His was the best debuting have ever witnessed, and he has rarely if ever had a bad game. Yes, he has become even better this season, off a high base. Well done, Clarrie …. looking forward to a Norm Smith medal to purge the Norm Smith curse.

…. as playing coach. They need more pace.

Thought you said doggy prawns. Very happy for them to do so.

MadAsHell - your plan may be a bit better that the train wreck 2020 (unforeseeable) and 2021 (highly foreseeable) fiascos, but still does not take into account the state border issues that despite predicted high vaccination rates and the apparent abandonment of the obviously unattainable donut figures, could well come into play yet again in 2022, given the propensity of State Premiers to play oneupmanship with each other. Add in the fact that the majority of VFL players still have to hold down “real jobs”, scheduling multiple interstate trips just makes no sense. So, VFL for Victoria, SANFL (+/-NT if they like) and Q and N sort it out for themselves. May sound harsh but could anything be worse for everyone that the farce of 2021?

Exactly. I get so peeved off on Anzac Day when that announcer with the “important sounding voice” talks of the heroes showing the Anzac spirit. Nauseating actually. There is no correct answer. 15 games would exclude Tomlinson; all on the squad would include Nietschke who never had the opportunity to run onto the training track. I would say on balance all who played a game.

One would hope after the past two train wreck seasons, the AFL would decide that the “seconds” competition would be state specific given the propensity for snap border closures. In other words the VFL would only feature stand alone clubs plus Victoria based AFL teams. NSW and ACT in particular may well [censored] about unfairness but stuff them.

😮🤦 🤗 Maybe Hibbo and Melksham and Nev would fit the Geelong demographic, and they could pass us their top 2 picks for them. 🙄

Sam is about a decade too young for the Cats.😮

I don’t recall the media highlighting any incidents so maybe he didn’t even realize that there were any matches on?

I am sure it would be on the agenda, but easier said than done I am sure, in our current club mindset, Petty, like anyone on the list, would be putting in 100% into any roles he was asked to play. I was wondering if anyone knew if Tomlinson had ever spent any significant time forward, or in any other role? As I recall he was recruited as a wingman to complement Langdon.

How does one regain confidence? One option is to move to another environment, another is to try again. An old hobby horse of mine - do we have a sports psychologist? Or is Mark Williams filling that rôle? In the inner reaches of the club, they will know (or have a good feeling for anyway) if he appears capable of redemption and I will leave it to their collective expertise. They have done well thus far. GO DEES. ❤️💙

10 months on, how prophetic. 🤗❤️💙❤️💙

Behind May Lever Tomlinson Petty and maybe Turner? Tom is contributing more than his raw possessions stats show and I wouldn’t describe him as cooked - that said Weid would be worth hanging on to, if mutually agreeable terms can be reached.

Sure sounds like a talent. Given the farce that the VFL season was always going to be even pre Covid, and the absolute cluster [censored] it ended up as, has he had enough exposure especially for Casey watchers to have a stab as to where he could fit in? Is he vying with JJ and Sparrow, or Kozzie and Spartacus? Nice problem to have the way our young smaller guys have been going recently.
