On a whole I was quite happy with last night. Limited injuries & a win. I thought we might go through the Billy Ocean’s with a long season ahead bit that certainly didn’t occur. You can tell that those on the fringe, (Webster, Bytel, Hunter, McKenzie, Wood) were desperate to impress and push the...

Long is a frustrating player for mine, he has brain fades and is prone to giving very silly free kicks up. But I agree with Scollop in that his good outweighs his bad. People only look for the negative things he does. When he runs and carry's the ball he can kick with both feet and be more challengi...

Let's judge now. Being in and out of the side is disruptive to the team. We're better off having a reliable B or C grader in the side, in his stead. It's a physical game - his body can't take it. Respectfully - I absolutely 1000000 x bazillion disagree with this. A team of reliable B & C grader...

The big issue with Webster in my opinion is that he lacks the ability to break the lines hence why other younger players were preferred. He is also very one sided, opposition know that he is limited a left foot that can be hit & miss. Webster was part of the sideways Richo ball movement days. I’...

In my opinion if Geary play’s back we will find it extremely difficult to win. The biggest fault on Geary in the backline is he panic’s under pressure and quite often our other defenders become nervous when he is nearby. Up forward he has been brilliant in a number of games firstly stopping his oppo...

I suspect the knee injury he suffered in round 1 is limiting his usual output. Up until half time he was close to our best player. I believe his lateral movement and kicking penetration has been directly affected by it. He had 22 disposals against Collingwood and was far from our worst. He may have ...

1. Plugger - miss the old Moorabbin days with the big man at full forward 2. Nicky Winmar - I have a signed footy record with “9” circled the day he kicked a bag against Melbourne at the G 3. Jason Heatley - loved watching him in 97 at Waverley, beautiful kick 4. Lenny - who doesn’t love Lenny 5 - G...

The McEvoy trade is an interesting one. I could be wrong but I believe he was one year away from being a restricted free agent when he was unwillingly traded. In my opinion, at the time our salary cap was still at the absolute maximum due to poor governance around the 2007-2011 period. At this stage...

People forget that we were 23 inside 50s up on Geelong at half time of the Grand Final. Still finished +16. Eddy didn’t get a game in the 09 GF side either. I’m not sure Ross can be blamed for Schneider missing from the point of the square, McQualter from 20 out, Milne not making the distance when h...

It looks like Sean Ralph-Smith in the photo. Game appears to be the 1991 game with Lockett kicking 13 against the blues

Dunstan finished 8th in our b&f last season & was very good in the back half of the season. He is a slow burn is Dunstan, the acquisition of Hill & Butler as well as hopefully a fit Hannebery will allow us to better utilise his skill set. He has runners with foot skills to distribute the...

Very sad situation. At times in 2016 if you take out isolated highlights of some of our games you could see Paddy was more than up to being a very good player. Unfortunately concussion issues have prevented that from happening. For the club it is just stiff number 2s. No different to Tom Boyd having...

There is a reason why Geelong are happy to let him go. We are like the lost dogs home.

No interest in picking up discards from other clubs who cannot get a game

Absolutely agree on the whole “Mad arse supporter of a club” meaning stuff all. Look at Tom Lynch for example. As one eyed pies supporter as you could find but when he had a choice of club back to Melbourne he went Richmond as the $$$$ and term of contract was more rewarding not to mention marketing...

In my opinion we as supporters severely overrate Bruce. He had 18 goals on the board after 15 games this season. Granted he had some injury issues but that seems to happen most years. Someone said he is a hardworking GOP and that is spot on. Has he ever had a high finish in our b&f? I rate Membr...

The main issue IMO is Big Boy was 1 year off becoming a free agent at a time we were about to rebuild and at that time not a lot of cap space. Hawthorn most likely would have been in the premiership window & would come at him with a huge offer. We likely cashed our chips in early before free age...

We are years away from even contending for a flag. Surely we all remember the Monkhorst, Matthew Clarke, Capuano debacle in the early 2000s. Gun player Goldy but getting on in years & bringing him to the club in my opinion is a woeful decision. I’d rather we took Draper & use King eventually...

I'm on the Caracella bandwagon as well. At the very least we need to interview him. Played his footy under Sheedy, Matthews and Malthouse. He has been Neil Balme's right hand man at both Geelong & Richmond's premierships this decade, anything he has been involved with has been successful. Someon...

This was an enjoyable win against the Eagles back in ‘92. Didn’t get there until quarter time but gees.... that was a bloody cold day at Arctic Park! I also went to the famous Brisbane game at Arctic Park when it was 8 degrees with hail so thick you couldn’t see anything. Those were the days... Yes...

Went and saw the full game. We need to keep our expectations low on King for now. Today was his first serious hit out against men and not boys. I couldn’t have been more impressed. He flew for a ball on the wing in the first quarter and the crowd just went “whoa”! It was like in the movie “The Blind...

Watched on TV, my dad went to the match but I stayed home. Poor old Pater Caven his nose in, I always wondered what reception he gave Plugger when he joined the Swans. I have a feeling it can't have been too good a reception given a couple of years later he was at the crows playing a premiership ag...

Remember when Scott Watters tried to turn Stanley into a full back! His best position moving forward was always going to be as a ruckman. I recall him having a huge game against Kruezer and then a week later ripping a hamstring in the first quarter against Natuanui at Subiaco. At the time we had McE...

Paddy was allegedly out practising his goal kicking yesterday with a specialist coach.

If that is the case, I don't think he will be announcing his retirement anytime soon and will at some point attempt to come back.

Lachie Henderson and Zach Tuohy have been pretty handy players to request a trade from Carlton in recent times
