football has lost a comic genius and a major talent a couple of seasons earlier than it might have.

i suppose he knows what he's doing but the club should do everything to ensure that this is what fraser really wants

believe in and exploit the draft. best available player regardless of type.

if we trade, his best football must be in front of him; not behind.

no washed up dud hacks please. we shouldn't look at anyone over 25 unless he is a gun and going for a song.

what would we have to give up to get fev. imo they'd want dal santo.

no way

fevola is a d*ckhead and just what this club doesn't need.

has to be kosi. potentially a 100-goal full-forward and one of the few guys in the league who can consistently take big contested marks ... the only certain way i know to beat the flood roo could do it well also. but why would you use a guy with superhuman endurance in the most static position on th...

Brooks is gone. Sorry to all the people who think he is a ruckman but Blake is Polly Farmer compared to Brooks in the ruck. well play blake in the ruck. he's been very effective and him not being there much of this season has cost us bigtime imo. gives us plenty around the ground and i'm also of th...

keep brooks and play him second ruck in the seniors. with fraser retiring (way too prematurely in my opinion) kosi must play full-forward permanently. this opens a spot for brooks and, hopefully, gardiner will come up. there's always blake, who is a very capable ruckman, rix, who is a depth player a...

only yesterday i posted how we should start grooming kosi as full-forward and move fraser out to half-forward or forward pocket. wish i hadn't said it now (not that it would have been a factor, of course). i genuinely believe he still had a couple of good years left in him and the club should make s...

football has lost a comic genuis. he used to crack me up with some of his antics.

has retired two season too early. i guess only he knows why.

fraser, you're a long time out of the game mate

don't suppose we can talk him out of it. i reckon he still had a couple of seasons left in him

were were constantly told that gt couldn't coach a pig to be dirty, anyone could coach this list to the finals, he wasn't the man to take us forward etc, etc, etc. This is what I don't get. People believing what they are told. Everyone's excuse for getting stuck into the board/coach about going bac...

I expected a hell of a lot more. were were constantly told that gt couldn't coach a pig to be dirty, anyone could coach this list to the finals, he wasn't the man to take us forward etc, etc, etc. it's way too late now but i have fond memories of the gt era ... they were exciting times and september...

has harvs done a hamstring. that could be it

it means we MUST find a ruckman. kosi straight to full-forward. sorry to see the end of fraser. has been a fantastic player for our club

if i was RB i'd be on the phone to his geelong counterpart organising a joint protest in the strongest terms

this makes me very angry. policy on the run again by demetriou

Big ground. Sunny September afternoon. No win/loss pressure. Why not mix it up a bit. Take some risks. Move the ball straight down the middle. Exploit the marking skills of our 3 key forwards. ie kick to one on one contested mark situations, rather than play "keepings off". No backward or...

Very thin draft this year and I believe Ross will do some heavy pruning on our list so don't be surprised if we pick up some recycled players from other lists. i've got no problem with "pre-loved" players with one proviso. Their best football must be ahead of them ... not behind them like...

i'd like to see kosi play ff next season. give him that responsibility and watch him grow in the job. move fraser out to half-forward alongside roo or just keep him in the pocket as a handy goal-kicking decoy. only problem is we'd need to find another ruckman. clarke clearly wasn't the answer and ri...

Wasn't expecting a fairytale premiership but wasn't expecting what happened either.... this list has the capacity to AT THE VERY LEAST make finals abnd we didn't.... its actually quite disappointing. i agree. we went backwards in 2007, there is no denying it. let's hope now that RL has had a good l...

We have no real tradeable quantities besides maybe Xavier Clarke or Dal Santo. If the offer on the table is good, I say take it, especially for X. We can't give up Roo, Kosi, Goddard or Hayes, but maybe Gram or Fisher should be used as bait, as both play the runnning back role. don't trade any of t...

I would love to see a new fitness regime next year. Go all out - even interrupt their eating lifestyles yep good point. all too often we were unable to run out a game. perhaps the "numbers behind the ball" tactic of which RL seems so enamoured only serves to knacker our guys by the end of...

here's a few more dispense with the ultra defensive, negative "accountable" gameplan and let the guys with flair play with flair. most of the season our blokes were more worried about their opponents than getting the pill. make them "accountable" for getting the ball. draft, rath...

i agree. how our talented list (which has made the finals the past three seasons) missed out so badly has me puzzled.

we have underperformed this season given the talent available to us.

our list isn't perfect ... the on-ball division needs work ... but we should have made the finals.

we seem to have fallen back into a meek acceptance of mediocrity

i'd give us a e. we went backwards. let's hope we can turn it around in 2008.
