Cherry picker eh? That would be taking uncontested marks out wide and not those of the contested type from opposition kicks. Don't be fooled mate. He has an opponent every week and this is his soul focus. Once they have been demoralised or, in the case of R. Murphy on Sat moved to the...

Flex, you have no idea what influence Tom has within the football club and to what extent this influence had on the success from last year. No outsider would....utter rubbish. Tom's position in the side is safe. Not because he is Captain but becuase he deserves it. Simple as that.

Re: Tom Harley lays some shots across the bow of the SS Martyk... Flex/Marty K/sh*t for brains...whoever you are. You've found out by now not to shoot your mouth off when you are so ill-informed. Just something else to chew on re: supercoach and how they score: POINT SCORING - HERALD...

Harley has been solid if not good all year. To think he wouldn't get a game is ridiculous. Missed 8 games last year and finished with exactly same number of Carji votes as said All Australian CHB. Martyk, what's this statistically bottom 5 rubbish? Gee, some supporters are unbelievable...

I think Otto's tendon has snapped already. He was doing some running or something and felt it go. There was rapid improvement from that but now seems to have hit a wall, preventing himself from being 100%. Ego's injury management hasn't been wrong. It's just a prick of an injury. Very...

I concur with Adelaide Hoops. Martyk et al should quietly go away...no idea what they're talking about (as rock solid rebuttal of outrageous criticism suggests). Tom is as healthy as he has been since 2004, so look out for steady improvement from last year. I couldn't think of anyone...

It wasn't a case of Tom being uncomfortable. It's just that he's not a self-obsessed, self-promoting w@nker like most that go on the show (Lingy excepted). Only reason he did it (after much hounding) was that he had to be in Melbourne that night anyway and they put him up at Crown with a nice...

They have premiership caps for that. This is 2008...moved on from '07. This year it's Footy Full On! Must admit, I'd have the GFC logo (either one) as the prominent feature and the slogan less so.

Yeah, that was it.....not! Tom's influence must not be underestimated. His work ethic has always been exemplary, but as the main man he could really impose this on his players. He gave them a sense of "belonging on the big stage". He set up the processes and made sure the players followed...

Director of Coaching at Uni Blacks (amongst other things!). Brilliant football mind and motivator....when he speaks, you listen. Has forgotten more about the game than most would have picked up in a lifetime.

There seems to be a lot of talk cutting down the theory that GFC of 2007 was mentally weak. Saying that about the side is silly. GFC of 2006 could be considered mentally weak but that was rectifed with major changes to the football dept and leadership. I can't add attachments (bloody stupid)...

Re: Are Geelong Supporters.............. Were hunted from around round 10 last year....handled pretty well (lost one game by 4 points with 2 starting mids out - Ling & Bartel). One thing is for sure...we will not have the same success as last year. However, our average winning margin was...

We will field a pretty full-strebgth side for the first NAB Cup game and then take the foot off a bit after that...... I'd say Harry may even get a go in that first game, given the extended interchange and the absence of Ego.

Few good signings at Blacks......P. Bowden, M. Bolton, M. Pask and a few others. Considering how Brighton and Collegians went last year, straight from B-grade with some good recruiting, looks like Blacks aren't there just to make up the numbers.

Gee, that's an interesting take on it!!?? Probably the most non-sensical bit of rubbish i've heard for a long time.....thanks for the laugh though. Fact is that Harley motivates his players, keeps them focused on the processes that got them the minor premiership without buying into other...

Totally off the topic. Simpson is a ball magnet, yes, and he's probably a good captain, just pointing out that he didn't have control of his charges that day. Roos players went for Mooney....fact. Must have thought that would unsettle him.

I'd agree and say Sam Mitchell will be a fine Captain.

Simpson couldn't control his players before the qualifying final against Geelong when the Roos tried to unsettle the Cats by starting a fight in the warm-up..... Result = 100 point thumping, great Captaincy Simmo! Harley must be recognised as one of, if not the best skipper in the...

No, i ran 51.9....so Motlop got me there. To be competitive in the 400m, you'd need to get down to 45-46 sec mark. To drop 5 secs is pretty hard to do....especially when Motlop ran his time in pretty peak fitness. He made the right choice....

Sorry, my bad. I thought she runs around the 51 sec mark (which is what i ran at school) and so isn't all that remarkable...... If he's running 48 sec, that's pretty handy. I'd go a footballer over an athlete any day though. That's not to say that Chris can't pick the game up to the...

Running the 400 quicker than Freemen is nothing to get excited about. I'm no champion athlete and did that when at school! I think you'll find most blokes on an AFL list could run sub 53 secs for 400m....

Re: Training Report Wed 9th Jan Nathan Djerrkurra is known as Djidi (pronounced Jiddy).....not Diji or any other derivation of that. I have seen people refer to him as everything other than Djidi on here. It's an Aboriginal word from up his way and means "black magic". Minor detail, but it...

Doesn't look too menacing to me. Everybody has big guns when they're in the middle of a boxing session..... Still rate him highly though.

Good shots. That grappling with Lingy and Gamble? is one of the hardest things you'll ever do.....very effective though. The boys did most of their testing on Tues and everyone has improved and much fitter than this time last year which is scary! Instead of the traditional 3km time trial...

I do like the look of Everitt....showed plenty of promise last year and if he has bulked up and even grown a couple cms, then he could have a good year. Don't know about holding down a key position though....yet. Pretty happy with our first pick last year though (Selwood). Could have the...

Selwood - Just super impressive in everything he does. Class act on and off the field. Will Captain the club. Jimmy B - Gutsy and hardworking with no shortage of class. Top bloke to boot. Harley - Does everything to get the most out of himself. Courageous and integral to the team's success...

That's not a admirable attribute. Looks like it will be a while before you win a flag then if you can't win when expected. Some could say that was GFC's problem in the past. A major change in attitude and a sense of belonging on the big stage was a major factor in them going all the...

People come and go at the end of every year...nothing new there. Apart from Nathan, the core of the best 22 will be there again. The fact that a couple that did go were longer term teammates and good friends is not ideal, but this group knows what needs to be done to win a flag and they'll...

You keep thinking that mate. Enter Tom Hawkins. He will provide at least the same output NAblett, so no worries there. Gardiner can't make our side, but i bet he'll slot into yours. PLayfair can't make it either, along with King. Would've liked to have kept Kingy, but he was always going to...
