Sadly a rubbish beer. However, if it were VB...

Its a great day out. 

 

And you guys have only lost once(?). Having said that throughout the years we've gone from losing to you by 20 goals to i think the last one was about 15-16 points.

Was the last one when we played on that rock hard patch of grass across the road from Olympic Park? That was a shocker! The game at Glenferrie years ago was good fun though.

So you think we’ll take him?

I had to read that sentence a couple of times too. Looks like Daz changed his mind three times while he was writing haha.

Very savvy move from the recruiting department. Professional!

Not surprised he got snapped up so quick - good on Nev. The CFC are lucky to have him.

On the other hand, it's going to be tough seeing him in the black and white next year.

Unfortunately, I had some of the gloss was taken off my week by a team of lowlifes. Got scammed to the tune of $9.5k, but at least I’ve been able to take my mind off the crap side of life, by watching replays on repeat.  Thanks for providing the joy Dees!

Sorry to hear that mate, do you mind if I ask what kind of scam it was that got you?

2023 they will make the big jump. Next Season they will play some good games

You're probably right, they're coming from a fair way back. Carlton are another that I wouldn't be surprised to see bounce back in a big way next year.

Anyway, back on topic - hell yes we'll be winning again in 2022!!!

Bet on Melbourne premiership into Adelaide making the 8. Burgess can transform teams, Adelaide will be good next year. We will still be the best.

I was thinking this about Adelaide yesterday, I'd be surprised if they don't improve massively.

Garry Lyon said that a new definition needs to be found for the role Jacko played.  I agree it wasnt pure ruck, he left Martin and English near the centre circle after competing for the tap, and become another ground ball midfielder.  Mind blowing performance !

It reminds me of the way they spoke about Natanui early on, and although he plays that way at times, early predictions never really came to fruition. Jacko is certainly playing that way at the moment, a true freak.

Geelong will go again. Please and lol. 

Yet another band-aid solution... that wound is festering and one day soon, they're gonna plummet (I hope).

I think it was more than the spray.

There was a good interview last night with Goodwin on OTC.  He made a lot of tactical changes after half time to get the contest back on our terms and take the heat out of Daniel and Bontempelli games.  The changes took 15 minutes to kick in but once they did there was no stopping us.

I feel as though Goody's cool, calm, collected approach and Choco's 'pizzazz' compliment each other so, so well.

Sorry to see Jay go. First saw him out at Casey in 2018 where he was runner up in their B&F. Was thrilled when we picked him up and that he was given an opportunity to play at the top level.

Has a good combination or run, skill and doesn't take a backward step either. Also has the ability to play back, forward and on a wing. Really hope he gets an opportunity at another club. He'd walk into a team like Carlton.

Said it in another thread but he's looked really promising at times. I'd be surprised if he didn't get picked up by someone else - not being able to break into the best backline in the competition isn't the end of the world.

Lockhart’s been let go. Or do you mean a shot at another club?

Sorry that wasn't clear, yeah I reckon another club will pick him up.

I'd say Lockhart will get another shot - he's looked pretty good in patches.

Going forward I reckon we'll be fine between Smith, Hunt and even Bowey and Rivers pushing back when need be. Maynard though will be a good pickup if we can make it happen and will slot right in.

When we're allowed to have the G at capacity they need to have a day there. 

Big screens on the oval so we can all sit in the stands and watch the replay. Then as the game finishes we're allowed on the field and the players and cup are presented to the crowd.

100%, would be unreal. 

Hahaha that was sensational.

I don't think an actual gold fist will be affordable each year, so I propose a rubber fist spray painted gold. Much more economical.

And that way we can also include Haymes @TRIGON

Picking Toumpas over Wines will always go down in history as one of the bigger drafting stuff ups by the club, but as many have said here it's a sliding doors moment for the club. If he comes to us maybe we're better in the short term but don't get the opportunity to have the mix we have now.

Well done to him, he's had an excellent year.

I see an alternate reality where we nailed some of those picks, even taking Martin over one of Trengove/Scully. But we fail to develop these players to the point that they're at (or have been) and end up a mid-tier side for the next twenty years... making finals every second or third year but failing to have any kind of impact. That would suck too.

If we take Wines we may not get Petracca or Oliver.

Things turned out ok in the end.

Que sera, sera 😇

Also WE HAVE TO KICK STRAIGHT.

God I'm nervous but I think the squad is just too hungry to be denied.

Dees by four goals.

Double barrelled surname, perfect.

Viney for sure.

Petracca and Gawn a hot second and third in my tips. Clarrie up there too of course.
