Bazlenka and Butters pic on Insta having a drink was creating increased blood flow.
Maybe the two new neighbours in Bellbrae were discussing life on the land and the smell of salt air.

You mean on Bailey Smith?
Look all I posted was what I was told. Deal will be done and I think even those who were skeptical now acknowledge as much. I made a call on the weekend and they were expecting something "mid week" which is why I went with 24-48 hours when I posted. The only thing I...
No interest from our club I'm told. "There are other deals that are the priority"
Lord has been talked up but a few people I spoke to say he's a "looks like Tarzan - plays like Jane" type. One of the many players that probably sit in that uncomfortable space of good VFL player but just not...
Botanical Gardens Melbourne. I've got someone tailing his every move.
Spent an hour sitting down on a picnic blanket reading what appeared to be a contract. Followed that with a walk through some ornate garden displays - helped an old lady cross the road - did some Japanese origami - rescued...
Smith is a done deal and just waiting on a formal announcement. No change from that in the last few weeks (or more). But the Zac Butters thing seems a bit left field if I'm being 100% honest. Not sure if we might be talking to similar people connected with the club but when I raised the Zac...
Smith can probably choose between #2 or #3 unless he wants to go higher for whatever reason. But yes, the way it works is that he would most likely get first pick on a number and the rest sort themselves out.
Bowes will be more suited as a good ball user off half back. Duncan style replacement with a few midfield minutes.
I think that falls into place nicely if we find midfield stocks like Smith and someone else.
Humphries can hopefully lock down the other half back and Holmes more time inside /...
Nah I'm not having much luck.
There's always a degree of inevitability this time of year with Geelong attached to a whole list of trades that never get done. I think we've been open about wanting to strengthen our midfield and it's had plenty of media focus. When names like Butters and Oliver...
Yep for sure.
Give it a few days and I think a few things will start to "leak" out. Particularly once the club starts to announce list changes. It sounds as though we are into a couple of established midfielders outside of the Bailey Smith discussions. Oliver and Butters are names that keep...
SDK is going nowhere. It's all misinformed media speculation and guesswork. Built largely on the fact that they think he was "overlooked" for our finals campaign. Whilst he was overlooked - it was because he was underdone and the club did not want to risk further injury. Will be announced...
Bailey Smith news sounds like it will be incoming in the next 24-48 hours. Given there's a bit of competition for media focus this week I'm being told most likely post Brownlow tomorrow / Wednesday.
That's all I'm getting.
I don’t care if he gets suspended or not. Low level of concern.
Just happen to think he’ll get a week. Two actions - tackle then sling - players head hits the deck. Blokes have been done all year for that.

As bad as Neale was (and he was bad) he did have a few “almost” moments that suggest he just needs a breakout game next year and he’ll be away.
If the alternative was Hawkins then I’m not sure he would’ve had any greater impact. He’s been a champion but is completely done.

Would have been easily beaten next week. No Danger or Holmes.
Couple of immediate observations.
- Duncan had a terrible last 10 mins. As I’ve said all year, it’s passed him by. Run down close to goal (burnt Jezza without hand balling) and turned over the handball to Ashcroft for Lions last...
He's clearly had a rethink, or like last year, the club has convinced him to play on.
He told players 6-8 weeks ago that he's most likely finish up so it will be interesting to see what's changed. Perhaps the club has seen the upside in holding him back for most of the year and just releasing...
I think the weather will play a big part in the final decision on SDK. The forecast rain is now pushing out to Sunday morning but I suspect we're looking at dewy / slippery conditions later in the game.
Danaher has only kicked 1 goal in his last 3 games as you point out, but I recall 2 of those...
Can't recall Cam Mooney being "dropped" over his last 4-5 years at Geelong. But it happened in 2011 when an ageing Mooney was left out and replaced by a young kid called Hawkins. Scott will make the right call for the the club - not the player. He has form as recently as 2022 when Holmes was...
