48 Year Now

Quite a few I wished returned.

Big call and can’t really argue as he is super skilled and has the flag. Jeff Farmer in conversation though.

If you only comment here occasionally usually get jumped on.

How does it work dazzle. We just cave in?

If Kossie wants home we deal with both WA Clubs and look at everyone st Freo and not just Jackson. Nice bitten twice shy with him.

If Billing’s can get someone to sort his kicking he has as much improvement to give as anyone on the list. Johnson is undersized but has heart. Lindsay cameo on boundary all class. Langford will make progress this year. Turner is going to be a handful with Fritta, Van Rooyen and Kossie firing. Lot to like, few negatives but I’m staying positive.

Interested you have Billing’s ahead of Langdon on wing. I know it’s only semantics. Are you thinking Billing’s for a good season

Yes, Robbie then daylight for me too. And how about when he played for Victoria. We all knew he would be a star amongst stars. Only saw he slightly beaten once, a much younger Blue in Peter Motley just got him at Princess Park one day.

Anything he brings will be a bonus now. I hope he can start afresh this year and be back up for injuries.

Gee if we don’t get him then it will test my 60 plus year loyalty. I would at least have to go and watch his first few games. If we get him and he makes it then I will be nearly as happy as when we won in 21. Oh to see that run and carry down the wing again.

I like the look of the squads, well done, and will only add that the team could be even better if a few Casey boys really step up , earn a spot with a hot run of form. No one in particular in mind. Maybe hot form from Jefferson or Seston ? Let’s see.

Anything from Tom will now be a bonus to our list.

Agree that he can still make it. Am I reading it that he missed his final junior year due to Covid. If so that makes it even harder to judge.

Something a little unsettling about this article.

I think all of us who played at any level always had one very talented kid at the club who was a bit wild off the field, didn’t often go to training and got by on natural ability. It works for a while and has for Oliver up until the past few years. He was a Melbourne great, always will be but I question whether he can dominate like he used to, he will still get possessions but needs a lot of work on kicking and hard balling as he ages. Let’s hope another club step forward with a decent offer

No loss based on past few years.

Gees, good luck with your projects Geelong Jack Martin- injury prone, third club Bailey Smith ego and self obsessed Oliver - ongoing issues not resolved.

Could be deep, could be meaningless.

I was never impressed with Perts resume prior to joining us but met him once and he was pleasant. I congratulated him on his part in the 2021 Premiership as a 60 year plus supporter. Strangely he immediately moved the conversation to..and how good were our girls as if for a supporter who has experienced misery for decades cares equally for the men’s and women’s game.

Clod light of day Pert shops Oliver around. Oliver sits and talk with Geelong they sell strong Football Club strong coaching group talented team Modern trading facility within 20 minutes of beach lifestyle deakin University for his course of study If we don’t make Geelong pay by getting a player they don’t want to lose we will be walked over for years in and off the ground.

True but I noted we ran Port to within a goal late in the year with an ineffective and injured Oliver and Trac out injured. Clearly we would need to bolster the midfield at the draft.

If I was in charge I would be thinking something similiar.

Time for the Empire to strike back. Petracca and Oliver want out. That must net us 4 first rounders.See ya later.

Like many here I have had family in ICU and with illness. Roffey doing a simple gesture of which there are many such as a phone call/ text, send something to the house is an act of human kindness. To view it through the lens of her responsibility according to the Club hierarchy is not the way to go if that puts restrictions on her reaching out to Trac.
