Theres a Simpsons quote for all occasions ,eh.
Just on Ben,my opinion is I dont think he was ever a superstar but more a handy player who could hurt a side with his kicking at certain times. Once sides stopped him running off HB using that to kick over lines he became IMO a very average...
I agree with everything you say here and you can never plan for the unknown. However you have to insure against it which is why I think Thurley should hang around.
I believe the best way to solve this No 5 issue is to give it to Cameron Ling now. You would find it would'nt worry him in the slightest, as in being under pressure, as he has proven himself already.
Yes there would be a Hoo-hah about it at first, but it would all quickly be forgotten as Lingy...
Very amusing.
He kicked a big goal against the Bombers one day too. Gee its hard to remember much isnt it?
His last game for Geelong he kept turning around smiling at the crowds abuse, its a wonder no-one jumped the fence.
I think they said it was some sort of tryout. Whats the lifespan of the NFL punters , I thought it was high 30's. Gives him plenty of time to get over there.
Some footballers are natural,
Some are taught and made.
But no-one has the talent,
Of good old Willy Slade.
He came in blaze of glory,
Attitude strong and firm.
But he never fully recovered,
From the blast he got from Derm.
So now He's been delisted,
Cause of oesteo fatigue...
So we need a name that takes in Geelong city, Football club and some sort of a sponsor. How about,
GEELONG CITY AND FOOTBALL CLUB ALL( LORRAINE) STARRS STAND.
My memory is an one that is argued by many as not a mark, but it was paid so it doesnt matter.
1994 ( I think) vs Collingwood MCG. Got away to a big lead early only to have it pegged back to a couple of goals mid 4th Q. I think it was Mensch kicked it high to the goalsquare then everything...
I would think it will take on a name that involves the Geelong community as well as the footy club due to council involvement. No idea what that could be however.
I always had Farmer / Ablett in my mind too. How about Geelong legends stand.
Interesting to note this was your prelim year (2001) I think. Cant kick Goals when the ball is at the other end or being held up by uncertain and poor delivery. Ottens will be playing in a much better side than he ever has before. I hardly think Geelong recruiting Ottens compares to Tiges...
