Omeara and hogan would have clubs softening to selecting these players we could do very well

if roos is out, move on to choco

I thought he has been improving, but then seeing a stress fracture during the pre season and having experienced one myself I can sort of understand the way it could be an issue. he is still only 22 and was a number 2 pick so plenty of talent

I am very confident at the end of their respective careers Jimmy Toumpas will have been a better player than Ollie Wines Wines was ready to go, but Jimmy was super impressive in my opinion today, tough conditions against the best opposition going and he stood up.

I understand your frustration but he is clearly playing injured, a stress fracture is something that could potentially be uncomfortable for a long time and I would say it is having an impact but he still is getting over 20 touches a game and had 5 tackles so he is justifying his place at this stage, to say he isn't good enough is making a judgement without a lot of information to really know what's going on with the young man.

I forgot about him for a second there, reminds me of a goddard/mundy type player and would be a really good get, now that you mention it I would be more inclined to take him and aish simply because of the potential go home factor with sheed

I certainly have nothing but respect for Crowley as a player but I feel that most of the trouble with tappy is he has never had a defined role within the team they should decide if he is a defender or a defensive forward or whatever and just stick to it, I personally think he is a half forward flank who can be injected into the midfield for abit of physicality and he is capable of being a good player, never going to be a star but that's okay.

I wonder how tappy would go in a Crowley sort of role? he certainly has the strong body to stand up in the contest and keep his opponent out

Just recruit gary ablett, jaeger O'meara and and an 18 year old simon black job done

I think he has abit going for him, more than some of the players on the list I would say will certainly be moved on, trade bait or kept on for one more year, i'd rather give him the one more year but if a good offer is made for him it would be a good option too.

For mine it's Aish all the way, he's all class but Sheed is my second pick, followed by Kelly, Billings and Dunstan if we get a PP and land Aish and Sheed I will be a very happy camper

We knew the second he suffered the stress fracture this pre season we could almost write this year off in terms of break out potential, I have absolute confidence that he is going to be a very good player for us 21 touches and 5 tackles today in such a tough game for every one of our players is a pretty solid return there are far more players worth worrying about in my opinion than trenners.

He is abit like Scott Pendelbury in that when he has the ball his skills mean he will be able to open sides up and do damage, Clark Dawes and Hogan are going to love seeing him with ball in hand through the middle for years to come.

dom sheed.

if nathan jones played for geelong he would have a brownlow medal absolute champion for 150 great games

1. nathan jones: well done one 150 quality games 2. james frawley: another great effort against a great opponent 3. matt jones: what a pickup he has been 4.jimny toumpas: signs of things to come 5.jack trengove: starting to find consistancy 6.shannon byrnes: solid game

still only 5 goals, we are a bit lucky

Toumpas seems to be finding the ball alright

trenners struggling abit?

tapscott would be handy in the wet

they are how good we want to be, get your note pads out lads

probably just die from shock

1.mitch clark: he is the one capable of kicking a bag of goals 2. nathan jones: spiritual leader 3. james frawley: takes on and often beats the oppositions best forward 4. colin garland: fast becoming our best and most consistant player 5. jack grimes: brave strong captain who bleeds for the cause ( don't underestimate his influence 6. jack trengove: our best defensive midfielder, will be top ten in the comp when he finds his speed and becomes a complete player viney, toumpas,howe,blease,dawes,hogan,fitz,terlich,m.jones,sylvia all have the potential to push up

ah, fair enough! all sounds pretty positive anyway, will be interesting for the next few days

didnt the coach searching comitee meet today?
