    Fraser Gehrig back

    No, Dogwatcher is correct. Fraser nominated today and all players who nominated by today, if they were on a list in 2007, are eligible for this Saturday. Players not on a list in 07 had to nominate by last week's deadline.

    west coast,freo,crow and port fans over 30 years old - did you switch?

    I have two teams. The Norwood FC (hence Rogernumber10 for the great Roger Woodcock) and the Geelong FC.Norwood was the team I got to watch most weekends as a kid and Geelong were the big boys on tv I got to see once every few years on a trip.Gotta admit, since I got older, and especially since I...

    The AFL and its 'maximizing' crowd policy

    Every club has to play one game at the G as a key requirement. That was port's game and it will be a small one for crowd, just as if Melbourne hosts Fremantle whenever those guys play at the G. MCG can't get every big game.

    Official 2008 Fixture Thread

    Re: Next year's draw worries Cats We've got 18 games on free to air and seven Friday nights, because the broadcasters like the club, now that we are playing well. If that's a bad result, well, I've missed it.

    Who is Tom Wills???

    Legends in the Hall of Fame had to be purely for playing record, until it got changed two years ago to include coaches, with McHale and Smith since going in. While Wills' record is long and stellar off the field, and apparently very good on the field too as a champion of the colony way back when...

    Collingwood will never have to travel more than 4 times a year

    The other point is that Collingwood, over the journey, gets a disproportionately high number of home games against the non-Vic sides, because they are strong enough to sustain a larger number of one-team crowds, and not have it impact them financially. Only Geelong gets nearly as many, which...

    AFL Draws biggest surprises

    The broadcasters specifically wrote into this contract that Collingwood and Essendon on Anzac Day is a key part of the deal. It's why they pay 780 mill and not 650 mill, when they get to write in requests like this one, like the fact that the Friday night match must involve one Victorian team...

    2008 Heritage Round

    For various questions: Round 19 is Heritage Round, but named Tom Wills round, in honour of one of the founding fathers (whatever the arguments about how big was his role) in the 150 year. Melbourne plays Geelong on the Friday night, so that the oldest club hosts the second-oldest club, 150 years...

    Top 5 Memories since you have been a supporter?

    1. Tom Harley saying 'We are Geelong" at the end of his GF speech. That was just a 'moment' that summed up all the waiting through a lifetime. 2. Visiting KP for the first time as a kid coming over from holidays in SA in 1980. First ever VFL game about round 20 against Pies (we won by a couple...

    Sad news

    yes, wore 21 back when he played and hence the link with Mooney. Was given honorary life membership this year of the 200 club, because his career was interrupted by the war. Was going to be a guest of honour at this year's GF in the official function, but wasn't well enough to make the day and...

    Sad news

    Cut-down of AFL media release AFL Chief Executive Andrew Demetriou today said the AFL wished to pass on its condolences to the family of Joe Sellwood, after the former Geelong player passed away last night at the age of 96. Sellwood had been the game's oldest living premiership player, having...

    Had you ever lost hope?

    That Pies game was second-worst Geelong moment ever for me. Worst was being in Pakistan in 1994 during the finals and making the effort in Karachi to get Radio Australia to listen in to the GF. Hocking is off early and it's a complete disaster. Never felt so alone (couldn't even get a drink to...

    When did it click that we were going to win?

    On the day, didn't feel good about anything until 3 mins into the second half, when finally allowed myself to believe we would win. Watching the replay that night (after taping it), it pretty obvious was all over 15 mins into the first quarter and the Ottens run-down was the sign it was going to...

    Best Grand Final Side Since 1990?

    Best Grand Final Side Since 1990?

    Just happy the Cats are finally part of a debate like this. Personally favour either Essendon 00 or Carlton 95, who both dominated their home and away season and then blitzed all their finals. We were only into the GF thanks to Ottens, but were rampant in the other two finals and for 18 weeks of...

    The Judd Bitterness scale

    "Value" of Pick 16

    Get Westhoff in the weights room, so that he's not lunch for Scarlett or any other of the big boys for too much longer, and put 16 into a kid that can surely be better than what Schulz can offer.
