Cat B Rookie V CAT A Rookie? - Is a Cat B somebody who has essentially come from a different sport (eg Blitz, O'Conner, Mullin etc) while a Cat A is like your Brad Close, Zuthrie, Atkins (basically half our 2022 Premiership side)

All of those mentioned are the south - But the North is part of the United Kingdom Country and use the British pound and are under the king/queen - where as the South is self ruled and a republic and part of the EU - you'll see it in a map - they are in fact two separate countries - Majority is...

Guys - A forward Scout report from family in Ireland Cillian Burke (Pronounced "Kill"- "i" - "an") - Is a midfielder with good size (considered big at around 6 foot 1 - approx 185). He's from the same county (Kerry) as Mark O'Conner and Stefan Okunbar (remember him?) He is like Osion Mullin in...

Is it just me or has Sam Power become the new Adrian Dodoro?

Wonder if its the same staff who did the medical on Stevie J and said "No thanks" - or were they sent to Siberia?

Great summary - thanks for that - Agree with your views

Interested in your view Bald - The Dogs will clearly have a lot of money tied up in the Bont (and rightly so - hes a superstar) They also have a lot of money tied up in Naughton and English (not so sure about them two) and will soon have to do the same for Darcy and Ugle Hagan (I'm totally sold...

Dare I say it Tony Barber?- that would be a "Sale of the Century" .............. Sorry!!

How does anybody have to "punch above their weight"? - and how are the Bulldogs? - with the revenue equalisation? All clubs have the same salary cap All Clubs have the same soft salary cap. In 2023 the Bulldogs recieved $6M more than Geelong in Revenue Distribution You've landed the number 1...

I totally agree with Close being far more structurally important than his stats suggest - I spent a half of a game simply watching Close play (nothing else) - the amount of time he ran unrewarded up and down the wing whilst drawing an opposition player and/or being an option was incredible - he...

Ive got a feelong that for the next few days - spotting Clayton Oliver in locations and/or actions and/or with certain people that point to his trade to Geelong is going to become like Elvis sightings

Hi Guys - I stumbled upong this is twitter - Not sure if this specific info has been mentioned before in relation to a property purchase by Zak Butters half an hour out of Geelong or not - or the accuracy of the comment - it is in reply to a Sam Edmund comment by a Jimmy Fazz who appears to be a...

It was spoken about by Sam Edmund on SEN with Cornes. May have been relayed on here as well - but SEN is the originating source

There's no doubting that Stringer has talent (like many others have posted here) - The issue that I would be concerned about (among others) - is why a club that has not won a final in near on quarter of a century is not worried about losing him? They've basically said - "here's the best we're...

Chris Scott has stated on at least a few occassions that TPP management is the greatest competitive adavantage in the new brave world of AFL - looking at a few clubs, I think he is proving to be correct

I'm sure I read somewhere recently (the last month or so) that we are into another Irishman for the 2025 season - cant recall who or where I read it Anybody else read the same - or did I imagine it?

Interested if any VFL watchers or ITK type have an opinion on George Stevens - is he capable of developing into a contested "Inside Bull" given his leadership qualities and size - I really hope so

Paul Couch and Greg Williams -but I get your point, and they were a long time ago (pre draft days)

Hi All - Had the pleasure of meeting Lawson Humpries today - very impressive young man I quizzed him on his natural foot and he told me he was right footed. He said any shot at goal or kick is driven by the angle, wher the pressure is coming from, which foot he needs to be balanced on etc. I...

Good summary

Thats a really good point

Wouldn't the Bulldogs love to be as effective as Geelong at re-signings and keeping all the sh*te out of the news which fuels rumours, distraction and discontent What brilliant club - any wonder we are a destination place

And Holmes and Stengle as well The development over the next few years will be a real watch - If anyone can remember the 2002/03/04 discussions when Geelong and St Kilda were both coming through the ranks, there was much discussion about "who had the better kids and which team would ultimately...

Agreed - I think Danger could be like the 150K+ fast bowler who comes on for 2-3 overs and gets a quick wicket/softens up the opposition He'll be great for some real intense blasts - particularly later in quarters when the opposition are beginning to tire

I agree - I was a touch uncertain about Bowes last year - but after a year in the Geelong system, I believe he could be a real "Breakout" Contender particularly if given more midfield time - he really uses the ball well and he's tough - just the right age as well. We could in fact get a real...

Love the last line in your comment - Could just imagine Jez setting up the goal from Mid/Half back - and/or streamin back into 50 and snagging one himself That could be a real watch and a dangerous strategy

Great summary - I also see Henry maybe having a slightly slower year due to your views (hopefully fast entry into the forward line helps to negate that. I'm also hopeful that Bruhn can slowly improve year on year - much in the mould of Cam Guthrie who seemed like a slow burn for a number of...

Im interested in the forums views on our trades last year (bringing in Bruhn, Ollie Henry and Jack Bowes). Henry looked really good to me and I see him being a good long term player - whilst Bruhn showed glimpses of promise and Bowes seemed to do good things when he had the ball - but he didn't...

Correct - I thought of him after my post along with Lincoln MCarthy - and there's probably more It's more to illustrate how we seemed to use our early picks better to trade than select for a period of time - whilst at the same time we were hugely successful when picking rookies and later picks

Tom Stewart taken at pick 40 - he falls into the rookie/40 + draft pick group
