Next Year is a clean slate ......

A good pre season ....anything can happen.

club especially being aware of his problems let it ride because he was playing good footy.

Same reason AFL is ineffectual .

The AFL brand + name players + interstate protected clubs = Dimitriou a total wanker

NOW will the AFL actually do something ??????????

sure the AFL will de register him

I suspect they are too weak ..

by strange co incidence ..my daughter actually created the original posted while working for ESP.

Geelong not doing other clubs a favour .....
but real reason is the double edged swors of performance based contracts ......

"Possibly. Having 9 AA players on incentive-based contracts may have stretched the budget unexpectly as well "

Still we did well .....

6 games in 2007 is he any good still ????

A view from a few weeks ago ....... GEELONG ADVERTISER 01Oct07 A MONTH ago there was doubt over whether experienced ruckman Steven King would be at Geelong next season. Today, King is a premiership ruckman and has declared that he wants to be a part of the Cats' line-up in season 2008. The 29-year-o...

Fixed our RUCKING problem ?

But for a kick Girlong could have been out of the GF ....
Finished 3rd.

Lets not overrate their GF win. They f@n struggled against the Filth

St Kilda
35 Andrew Thompson 221
31 Fraser Gehrig 255
34 Matthew Clarke 258
29 Brett Voss 170
30 Aaron Hamill 190
TOTAL 1094


Do we have a comparative problem loosing this experience ?

I guess not , will miss Gtrain more than the rest ...

just imagine if Harves had retired !!!!!

Tough nuts like Bakes are not exactly our strong suit atm...

We need him .....end of discussion

Sad but an obvious decision.....

He gave 110% .....thanks for the memory

Only just got over Pies

Big wake up for fat lips next week.

Power easily.... Bummer to sook

""Not sure if he has worked hard enough to earn the right'

Silky skills but .....

Butterss = HISTORY

Birss is Ok
gardiner cheap

But take the point stay away from hacks.

PS Fev ... no way .....our moody FF just retired

"I want to see the players get some mongrel about them. Hard at the footy! "

Get back to the intensity of 2005

Last nights game showed what intensity at the ball can do.....
I am no fan of Collingwood but they gave Girlong a real run for their money..... could have won

"Isn't it a disgrace that the AFL and their media mates don't recognise Harves as the champion he is ahead of Buckley, Hird and others. " Harves avoids publicity as we all know ...... He is so modest .and just seems to enjoy the game . I bet he is nightmare to interview !! Who cares if he ...

Forget Judd.

Make sure we keep Goose & Montagna

Yet to sign .....

Come on get them signed up asap ....

Get out the (selected) videos of past games ....

RL has had a year ..... He has tried a few things ,(hopefully flooding is to be forgotten). He now should know what he has to work with . What we need is to start pre-season early and get a solid pre-season in. Start 2008 with a reasonably complete injury free list . Just concentration on fitness an...

Wasn't that Grant Thomas's view also ..... Was he right all along ?

Isnt it more important to get the ball away than the actual tap receive ?

Quick mid fielders negate a ruck.

Repeated Failure to run out a game .

string of lost final quarters.

ALSO ...... badly need more goal kicking training / practice .

In 2008 minus Gehrig ......who will deliver ?

He will play on , I am 100% sure .
