Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?

The way he treats women is utterly disgraceful. He should never play for an AFL club again.

If we pick him up, I’ll hand back my membership.

Re: Top 5 Finals Games Memories......

Just watched the entire Bulldogs 09 Prelim 1) We were a star studded team with half a dozen freaks 2) Umps were important for us 3) Raph Clarke was enormous as was Dawson 4) We had several important role players. It remains the most intense game of footy off ever seen. I could never watch it again ...

Re: Tsadis / Phillipou / McKenzie

From the short clips I've seen, I'm very happy with Phillipou . Could be anything. I wasn't convinced about Tsatas's kicking at all.

Re: Tsadis / Phillipou / McKenzie

I like Phillipou from the limited footage I’ve seen. So quick and such a beautiful left foot kick. I think he’d give us that class and outside run. Not sure about McKenzie. He reminds me a bit Gresham. Gets a lot of it but disposal looks a bit limited. I like the kid from SA with our second (Keeler?...

Re: Ross Lyon?

A few players like Jack Billings have only ever played under Richo and Ratts. If Ross the Boss comes back I think a few are in for a rude awakening. By round 3 they’ll be begging the club to bring back Richo. 😂 Lols. I almost feel sorry for Billings and Clark. They have no idea of the freight train...

We can't go back to Lyon - too much baggage. And I don't like the concept of a failed coach like Pike or Leppitsch (and I hate Leppitsch from his playing days). The best coach in the game is Longmire, but good luck prying him out of Sydney. We missed that boat when we appointed Lyon. It seems like t...

WE have better picks that last year. Care to attack our draft haul from last year?
We got lucky last year with academy picks. Not sure we can replicate that success given that we have to exercise more judgment this time around.

Re: How good are Geelong and how far away are we .

A big pile of talent, oddly enough, seems to be the common thread in winning one. The list of talent they brought in from other clubs is enormous. They’ve topped up nearly every year since Danger and Henderson came in 2016. Then it was Zac Tuohy, then Gary Rowan, then Jack Steven and Josh Jenkins, ...

Father/sons and academy players make a big difference in a very even competition.

Geelong also very lucky to get players who will play for less than they would if they lived in a big city.
