Die Hard Demon

THIS .. We have lost all 3 games since he was made CEO. I have heard that internal people have serious issues with Gary Pert. Apparently Peter Jackson had no say in who was going to be our next CEO combined with Josh Mahoney being completely overlooked has seriously ruffled the feathers. I have a really uneasy feeling about how this might start to open up old wounds. I really hope I'm wrong and this isn't true – but time will tell.

Our side looks horribly slow with those ins. The only way we can compensate for lack of pace is precise and quick movement by foot. So we HAVE to be on and push hard into space throughout the game and of course Tyson must avoid kicking it at all times.

id be tempted to throw Vince in the middle and tag wines out of the game. Out: Pedo, Hannan In: Frost, Garlett (Frost to play forward as seen in training this week) We've matched up very well on Port in the past and also play Adelaide oval very well. It's narrow ground is similar to Etihad, which suits us to a T. Melbourne by 42 points. Go Dees!

I agree with the OP – Peter Wright would be a very handy acquisition. Not only as back-up if Gawn goes down.. But atm he immediately replaces Pedo and rotates more frequently with Gawn in the ruck. His height, great hands and booming kick are exactly what we need - we don't really have any players, maybe other than Melksham and Bernie who can kick goals from outside 50. The only question mark I have is his defensive mindset and endurance.. But still has tonnes of improvement as he's still only 21. I also think considering he's struggling to get games for GC we could get him for reasonably cheap. We are always complaining about our backup ruck stocks.. So why not?

your forgetting that one really important factor..

Whilst Trac has done some amazing things at times and he may well be playing his role perfectly .. I still think all this media hype at how much of a star he is .. is totally unfounded. Don't get me wrong.. he certainly has incredible talent and could be anything as a player.. But it feels as though he hasn't had a BOG performance yet. Once he taps into his full potential on a weekly basis .. LOOK THE [censored] OUT

Did that come from the same goose who said we were making a play for Zac Dawson back in the day..

Dom and our 2nd round pick (pick 36) for Carlton's early 2nd round pick (pick 19) ? Great way to free up some salary cap space, let Taylor work his magic on pick 19 and then get Gaff.

Over the last 2 weekends we've scored a total of 48 goals to the Dogs 10 goals. Unless Beveridge is in touch with Trump and is planning on building a wall to keep us out.. Might be tough for them to stop our avalanche of goals – It will be interesting.

Maybe .. just maybe we are playing so well that we aren't allowing the opposition to get a handle on the game. Our hands in traffic are incredibly quick, we're moving the ball so efficiently in and out of the contest. Our mids are putting immense pressure on the opposition ball carrier when we don't have the footy, causing turnovers etc. Then when we win the footy, we are spreading so well it doesn't really allow the opposition to shut us down. Even in our losses against Geelong, Richmond and Hawks we have been getting a heap of inside 50's .. the difference now is that we are converting those so much more effectively into scores.

I'm more worried about dingoes

don’t swear

Hmm possibly .. surely at least Ed's case has to be over-turned and given a week. The disgruntled coaches & media have made plenty of waves calling out the inconsistencies.. Would've thought the AFL would need to make a statement now that they've acknowledged they're not happy with the findings.

AFL officially appealing both Curnows' decision.

Dear god .. what is happening to us.....

19 inside 50’s to 13 yet we’re trailing.. has been the story of the year

Guys... Goodwin weaves his magic to keep Tom Mitchell under 40 disposals! That’s a win ?

hunt?

FFS MELB .... FINISH !!!!!!!!!!

We are still a far way off playing like a finals side. Our forward set up is messy, too many forwards flying for the same footy, not enough crumbers on the outside. The only time i recall a player lowering their eyes in the 2nd was lewis hitting up Trac. And our field kicking is sloppy more often than not. Blokes like Tyson, Harmes, Melksham & Lewis making costly mistakes. We are desperate for more class

Even though we were 7 goals in front, it wasn’t flash footy and was expecting us to ‘unleash’ hell after half time. And against a ‘crap’ team, we should have. To witness another capitulation in that third quarter, was an all too familiar sight and this has to stop!!!!

I'll be extremely gutted but relieved to be in Vietnam so I don't have to deal with the aftermath.

Geelong had 3 debutants and a bunch of kids making up most of their numbers. They were down a rotation early when Harry Taylor went down.. On paper, we should have won easily today, people need to wake up if they think we played well against a “top 4 side” today... Geelong proved today that it takes 22 players to win a game of footy.. We haven’t learnt anything from last year.. Relying on guys like Oliver & Trac to get us over the line.. No structure moving the footy, bombing the ball long, blokes completely misreading the flight of the footy, missed tackles, lost way too many 50/50 balls.. I’ll save the wrist slashing until next week if we don’t improve.. But seriously.. Horrible start to a new year when we’re supposed to be taking things to the next level..

who for geelong are injured?
