Looking at how young Ashcroft is playing right now after recovering from an ACL, shows how it’s possible to bounce back. Every case is different, but that is the best case scenario and Bazlenka seems to be in full training so fingers crossed.

The Jezza trade ended up being picks 15, 18 and 25. We got back 2 picks in the 30s which we then traded the next year to the Bulldogs for pick 25 (Knevitt). So Jezza for 2 late first rounders was the biggest steal of all time. Incidentally, the same draft saw us use your Jordan Clarke pick...

First round 2024 and F2 is fair I think for Smith. I think deleting/retirements will be : Hawk, Tuohy, Stanley and Parfit Incoming : Smith, Rd2, Rd3, Rd4 Others in jeopardy on the main list are Foster and Willis. Maybe we delist one of those and upgrade Clohesy?

Can someone tell Tommy to get off the freakin road before he gets hit harder than a Gary Ablett hip n shoulder!

It was mentioned on SEN breakfast that Geelong give players the option to fly one or two days before the game. They trust them to go at their own schedule. So that would explain that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d keep an eye out on Mitch Cleary twitter feed. He’s usually good Geelong info. Nothing yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It can be a pattern where we name a normal best 23 player (like SDK) on the emergency list because there are one or two players with niggles who will probably come out. Time will tell.

Bews has certainly come from nowhere to be playing this final. The likes of O’Connor, Mullin and Humphries were to picked ahead of him early to mid season. Was beaten by Rachelle in the Adelaide game, but here we are. With Tuohy needed as a wing, I assume Bews is sub. SDK as an emergency is a...

I think they will go with SDK in the ruck and drop Rhys. Which gives us the same lineup and structure as the last game vs WCE. ie Tuohy on the wing, Holmes and Duncan in defence. Blitz in the ruck when Dixon goes there. As for sub, not sure? Rohan, Bews, Mullin?

Here is a 23 for next year that only has Danger, Stewart and Jezza as 30+ year olds. FB: ZGuthrie SDK Kolo HB: Stewart JHenry Holmes C: Knevitt Danger Dempsey R: Conway BSmith Atkins HF: Close Cameron Miers FF: Stengle Neal OHenry Int: Bruin Bowes Mannagh Humphries Sub : Clark That is only 11...

Watching the highlights of our last game v Port, our centre square mids where CGuthrie (lacking zip and form), Blitz (playing mid and was ineffective, Atkins, Parfitt and Clarke. Stanley was getting spanked by Visentini, so was subbed off, Blitz went into the ruck and Mulin tagged JHF. And we...

SDK hasn’t played a single minute forward this year. So expect him to line up at CHF this week and give Stanley a chop out in the ruck - sorry having flashbacks to 2019. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This highlights the crazy evenness of 2024. In round 10, Port had a miracle win against hawks where they kicked 2 goals in the last 40 seconds to win, including the winner right on the siren. If Hawks win that, they are 2nd, Port 3rd and Cats 4th.

There is only one naming option for this game : The Scratcher Neal Cup.

I’m thinking Tuohy will be sub. We’ll put Holmes back to half back, run with Blicavs on the wing, and rotate 5 midfielders - Danger, Stewart, Atkins, Bruin and Bowes. If, and it’s a big if, Stanley can stay fit and play to an OK level, this is pretty much our best 22. Just swap Bews with...

Can’t be a good sign for Guthrie that he has gone from 3 weeks to TBC. You’d have to write off any chance of getting Guthrie of 2022 back this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are missing Neale creating a contest and bringing the ball to ground. Too clever with our selections Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last 2 goals have been Henry’s man. He has conceded 4 of the 7 goals by my count Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Henry having a mare. Should not have been tricky and dropped Neal. As it is, midfield getting wiped anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Bernard Toohey Cup!

You know what else is awesome, apart from the great win? The Pies might miss finals, might finish 10th or 12th……. And they traded away their first round draft pick for Lauchie Shultz.

I think this is the fork in the road match for us. Win this, we will be on a roll and I think we win 5 of our last 6 after this (losing to Freo/Stk) and finish top 4.

My hope is Moore goes to Neale, as that leaves Frampton on Jezza. Yes please! If I was Collingwood, I would do the opposite. Down the other end, for once Kolo and Henry don’t have to deal with 2m forwards. They will have Krueger and Ned Long/McInnes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remember peeps (and media). Our trade with GWS wasn’t as bad as first looks. The headline was 3 first round picks. In reality, it was picks 15 (Stone), 18 (Angwin) and 25 in the 2020 draft. With Essendon and GWS 2021 round 2 picks coming back. These ended up being in the early/mid 30s (could...

I think we can be anywhere from 3rd to 8th. But I essentially agree with you. And hopefully our first pick, whether it’s 12 or 16, will be for for B. Smith, so any finals experience is great experience for about 1/3 of our team.

I hear you Mr Benaud. Hail Richie, hail the great man. Hail!

Midweek Tackle on Fox Footy / Kayo. Thursday nights episode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My god, just watched the episode and Ralphy is so salty to any perceived advantage or government funding that Geelong may get. A future midfield of BSmith, Clark, Bruin, Holmes, Bowes and maybe Knevitt - very promising. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn’t agree more. 5 points down with 4 minutes to go. Puts us in front. Thank you Chucky.
