After a good team effort and win I don't see any reason to change the side just for the sake of change. The team balance was good. I see only injury enforced changes

Key forwards these days are generally eased into the side playing 3rd or even 4th target, often for a full season or so. Calsher was asked to play as the main target from his very first game. And this still at only 18 years and physically underdeveloped. It's quite extraordinary how seamlessly...

Such a strong performance across the board. Everyone played well and had moments. This team is growing before our eyes. So exciting.

Surprised Geelong players dont become airborne they flap their arms so much

Phillips is behind all of Frost, Sicily and Scim. If they are all fit and available it really shouldn't be a surprise that he has been left out. Despite him having a solid game last weekend. The obession some have in moving Sicily forward to accomodate all of Easy, Scrim and Frost does my head...

If we play both Gunston and Breust together then we need Watson's pace more than ever

It seems Ginni has changed his approach to milking frees in the last couple of weeks. The arm lifting is generally still there but the automatic dropping of knees and flopping to ground with every contact has disappeared. It looks like he is taking the Selwood approach of shrugging off and...
