    Finals Team of the Week

    I'm a Geelong supporter but I'll be the first to admit, St. Kilda was probably a more inferior opponent to the Bulldogs. The form guide is misleading; St. Kilda had a very easy run home and they still managed to lose to West Coast. However, I would say Geelong really didn't play to their best...

    Who had the better first year?

    Selwood for me! Only thing going against Selwood is he has never been tagged at AFL level, unlike Palmer who at times has been Fremantle's no.1 midfielder and got the opposition's best negator. Palmer will have a good career, and probably win more Best and Fairests but Selwood is more talented...

    Changes for Prelim

    If Kelly fit, he will come in for Prismall. If not, it will be Wojcinski. What is this talk about Stokes? The guy was close to the All-Australian squad for god's sakes, I bet he wouldn't have been far off. There is no player in the current team - none - that has not at some point this season...

    side's after playing geelong?

    Well, they did beat us, so I'm not sure they would be as affected by the game after all... Does seem the Kangaroos and Bulldogs were shattered a bit psychologically when they played us - partially because we beat them both fairly comfortably. If you can't get any closer than 6 goals to the best...

    Boomer 4th in AFL MVP

    Re: Boomer 3rd in AFL MVP Yeh, thats completely inaccurate. Pavlich shouldn't even be in the All-Australian squad, let alone the 3rd best player in the league. Can't argue that he anywhere ahead of Ablett or Franklin but I thought he would be miles ahead in 3rd. I guess thats what happens when...

    2008 Army Award Final 6: Vote Gav!

    Meh, not that good. Overrated. Ottens made a similar sorta chase in the GF last year and its more impressive cause he a big lumbering chunk of a man.

    Lets win some money!!!

    Can you still bet on which team will get the most Brownlow votes collectively? Cause we all know who probably will ;) If you gonna back a winner, I would say Bartel. He has had a relatively underrated year, has been as good, if not better (probably more consistent) than Ablett and he is a...

    Tom Lonergan lifts Cats

    Imagine if we could get Egan back playing his best form. Unfortunately I get the feeling even if he gets back on the field in 2009 (which is nowhere near definite) it will take until 2010 when he will be back to his best form. By than, will our premiership window still be open? Let's hope so, I...

    My 2008 Brownlow Medal - Cooney and Harvey tie

    Fairly beleivable top 10, think your being a bit generous to Richo as I can't see him getting that many votes, probably same in regards to Selwood. Otherwise, I would imagine thats pretty close to the mark!

    My 2008 Brownlow Medal - Cooney and Harvey tie

    It'd be intersting to see the Champion Data leaderboard. It not always accurate, but it was fairly accurate last year.

    ... and the 2 best small forwards in the league are!...

    Steve Johnson is #2 in the AFL for goal assists with 24, and Mooney was #1 with 33. Combining the goals with their assists, Johnson ends up with 73 and Mooney ends up with 79. Motlop only had 9 goal assists so together he ends up with 66 while Milne had 15 which makes his collective total 69...

    FRom 12th to 3rd - Great Achievement Doggies

    It was a good effort, but I think everyone got over it because it was evident from your start of the season that you were gonna better your result from last season significantly, and it has been confirmed for about 6 weeks that you would finish in the top 4, and add that with your poor form...

    Buddy - AFL leader in 5 statistics

    I was just having a look at the AFL website, checking the final stats leaders for the recently completed Home and Away season. And one player just kept coming up: Lance Franklin. Goals Kicked - 102 (AFL 1st) Behinds Kicked - 84 (AFL 1st) Marks Inside 50 - 115 (AFL 1st) Frees Against - 65 (AFL...

    Will all the finals be live on TV?

    Ox's comments are edited? Dear god, I'd hate to hear the stuff they cut out ;) BLOODY CHANNEL SEVEN! They put on delay the two most interesting games, for God's sakes they have are pathetic. God, I'd do anything to get Channel Nine back, they looked after the football.

    My 2008 Brownlow Medal - Cooney and Harvey tie

    That's just plain wrong. As mentoined earlier, unlikely to see four players get 26+. What is the true indictator of this ladder's falseness is the fact Kane Cornes got 26 votes. I would be very surprised, especially considering he only polled 13 votes last year when they won 15 games, I find it...

    Will all the finals be live on TV?

    I know the night games probably will, but what about the afternoon ones? I was initially able to attend Geelong's final when it was on Saturday but now its on Sunday, I can't go. But than I realized Sunday meant Channel Seven which meant a good chance it would be delayed. Does anyone know the...

    He is one of those characters that you love to hate. Hopefully I will have little reason to hate him this Sunday ;)

    Mars' Tasmanian Team in SHS

    Yes and surprisingly enough for a team made-up of Tasmanians, they all have only two arms! ;)

    WCE v Geel: 215 touches, only 9 players with more than 10 possessions.

    Remarkable it was only a 99-point margin. That had been at Telstra Dome, I'm sure it would have far surpassed the 100 point barrier.

    AA - revenge of the Big guys (Fev99 alert)

    Does it matter? Nowdays, forwards play in both FF and CHF. Both Fevola and Buddy have played in those positions all year, it's really just a toss of the coin to see which one goes where.

    How many All Australians will we have..

    After the first or second week of finals from memory, I think its the second. Last year they announced a 40-man preliminary squad beforehand but I can't remember when. Would be out soon, possibly this week. I think us Geelong fans were overindulged with 9 All-Australians last year. Although...

    Kelly ruled out, Hawkins a chance

    And Hawkins has? He has only managed his bags of goals against Melbourne and Carlton, at least Lonergan has been able to kick goals against the better quality bottom 8 sides!!! This forum has a ridiculous love of the Tomahawk, like a reverse version of the Shannon Byrnes feelings. Hawkins had 10...

    Round 5, 2007 - the most important match in the club's history?

    True, thats when we took our first step from being a young team with plenty of potential to a serious contender.

    Geelong Vs West Coast (The type of game we usually lose)

    All I hope is we don't have another Matthew Egan.

    Hawkins - form

    I think there is a little bias for Tomahawk here. Now I admit, I don't often watch the VFL but all I know is that for the first 10 games that Tomahawk played in the AFL, he looked indecisive and would too easily drift in and out of games. Now from what I read here, he seems to be dominating in...

    Round 5, 2007 - the most important match in the club's history?

    Before the game today, they had a quick highlights package of the Round 5 game against the Kangaroos and I was just sitting in marvel and wondering to myself how important a turning point that game was. We have gone on to win 39 out of 41 games since. Now it got me wondering: could that game go...

    A new mark set by Cats

    What is most impressive about those two games for Selwood is one was his debut (Bulldogs) and the other he won the NAB rising star nomination (Kangaroos).
