Okay so I watched the game live last 2 1/2 quarters so I'm only gonna talk about the VFL team. Oscar Riccardi has IT. He played a bit loose, roaming role on the wing, helping up forward, he runs around looking to create impact and he definitely knows what he's doing, when he fills out and can...
That is a real interesting Question and observation. My guess is it's Tanner Bruhn playing on ball giving them more speed through the midfield and I think they cut it because they are copying a little bit of the Magpies '22 spread with speed concepts and don't want to give away their thinking...
Interesting how the Cats are aware that they will need a new game plan with new guys coming in, mentioned Esava down back. Gotta keep ahead of the pack and very open minded to see what they do.
2022 we erased all the doubters in one foul strategy defying swoop, the esteem of our club has never been higher, a monumental day, the Selwood emotion, lil Levi's smile and a comprehensive game plan that left most in awe of what it actually takes to win after a decade of finals disappointment...
Tanner Bruhn (great instincts, his upside is electric, if he can rotate through the middle we'll have our own Nick Daicos) , Max Holmes (Danger thinks he could be best player in the comp + we owe him a flag), Mark Blicavs (if he can keep it going he's the most special Chess piece in the...
Excerpt from the Irish Examiner:
Speaking to the AFL Exchange podcast, Wells also said a chance meeting played a part in the move. Several Geelong Premiership winners travelled to Ireland in early October to watch Mark O’Connor’s Dingle in the Kerry county championship. That night they met...
Honest, tough and one of the highest floors of all the players selected, Cats did exceptionally well as did other clubs picking before us, now we gotta knock the magpie outta of him like we did with Stevie J, expect intense midfield competition amongst those drafted before him, future looking v...
My predictions:
1. Cadman GWS
2. Ashcroft BL
3. Wardlaw NM
4. Sheezel NM
5. Tsatas ESS
6. Humphrey GC (will seek a trade to Geelong in 5 years time)
7. Phillipou HAW
8. MacKenzie GEEL
9. Ginbey WC
10. Clark StK
my guess is with our preferred options Tsatas and Humphrey off the board we get the...
I think their midfield board post top 4 is:
Tsatas
Humphrey
Clark
Ginbey
MacKenzie
Allan
I'd absolutely be happy with anyone here, with Mackenzie being the most overlooked talent in our discussions thus far. My guess is they really want the power game that comes with Tsatas and Humphrey and...
I'm 100% gonna be happy with whoever Wellsy selects. I prefer Tsatas slightly over Humphrey & a fair bit more than Clark (he's a mad magpie supporter and I think he'll go to the Saints fwiw) and If we trade back for Ed Allan or Jed Busslinger and pick up an extra pick I'm happy with that also. I...
There's a real interesting moment in that second video where the young lad @12:26 asks Phillipou "if you could have one player for an hour to pick his brains, and not in a zombie way, who do you choose?"
And the answer is: "Gary Ablett Senior"
And the young lad replies "Oh, not the Junior? The...
Any confident dude with serious intention about his career is going to say pick me at 1, I'd be surprised if any of the top ten prospects didn't say the same. If they didn't as a recruiter I'd ask why do you think they are they better than you?
in any case despite your insiders gossip, I have...
I know nothing about his character and will let Wells vet them and not rely on gossip, but on footballing ability he's the best option from what I can see, especially based on projection and versatility.
I think the pick will be Matteus Phillipou, just outstanding size and attributes, versatile and dynamic, gives you a bit of everything, will be a beast after a few years development, I think his upside is enormous.
I would rearrange it slightly so the change room version went like this:
We are Geelong, the greatest team of all
We are Geelong; we’re always on the ball
We play the game as it should be played
At home or far away
And when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
Stand up and fight like hell!
Re: Big pick swap in the works. Brisbane looks set to send pick 25 to Geelong in return for picks 38, 48, 55, a future second rounder and a future fourth.
Wow what a creative and all encompassing trade that is, it's basically leaving us p25 to trade for Ollie Henry, leaving us two later picks...
Nice pick up, very good future projection, he will battle for midfield time and after one full season he will be right in the mix. It's important to get real competition in the midfield spots, it's the engine room for success, I wouldn't worry about who amongst our young core misses out, it's...
Trade Radio Matt Rendell saying we offered Pies p38 for Henry accusing Mackie of lowballing teams and that other teams are pissed off and may not deal with us down the track. No round 1 offer for Bruhn either. Rendell is urging clubs to reject our offers and call our bluff. Now stating that...
Great updates from fpm84. My impression/prediction from listening to the chat with Andrew Mackie: Jack Bowes is the big one, he's interested in us based on what he can do for us, (which I think is fantastic) I expect he'll slot straight into midfield rotation, Cats are aware that midfield will...
I can see Joel being involved in some sort of ambassadorial role slash community engagement slash player welfare development role before he dips his toes into the coaching waters. Whatever he chooses he'll be great at it. Go Joel! Go Cats!
Re Jack Bowes: I remember what Joel said yesterday regarding his pay packet: "You don't play for this football club for the money, you play for the experience." I'd be reminding Jack of this and if he needs to take a haircut like the rest of them then he measures up in my eyes. Like many have...
I will never ever ever forget all those games that by his sheer will and on ball brilliance Joel dragged his team across the battlefield to victory. No other Geelong player has ever shown that level of determination and self sacrifice, and no other Geelong player has the winning record he has...
