Actually heard Frank Costa interviewed on SEN the other morning and he was encouraging the boys to keep pushing for the AFL to keep the father son rule as is because Tom Hawkins has a younger brother back home. Not sure what age he is or even if he plays footy but he is out there.......

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure those were (and possibly still are) the height and weight of Mackie when drafted....

The worst thing is he's had 4 years to improve but is still not capable of stringing a sentence together. Hopefully is contract ends this year and Channel 10 destroy those photos he has of some executive which has allowed him to kep his job for this long.

Hi Heals, You must be very proud of your cousin Nathan the tennis player. He did really well at the Australian Open and I think would have even more girls after him than Will Slade. You may need to have a chat with him though because when the crowd was chanting "Healy" I don't think he dealt...

Once again Grant surrounding himself with assistants that don't have the potential to go on to become senior AFL coaches. Whilst McGuane may have a good footy brain I can't see him ever being offered a senior coaching position. Isn't it funny I still remember after Blight was fiven the flick by...

I know Grant will sprout the usual waffle that we are developing 22 leaders on the field and those more experienced players not in the leadership group are still leaders but....how could Milne be listed in this group. Other then providing comedic humour around the club, what does he actually...

Does anyone know if the victim was related to Holland?:D Stamp out the abuse 11:15:37 AM Mon 21 November, 2005 Danny Lannen Geelong Advertiser Geelong Football Club president Frank Costa believes Channel Nine's Footy Show producers should strongly consider turning their spotlight to...

Hurn reminds me of Luke Shackleton, solidly built so stood out at junior football but little scope for improvement.

Yes and according to Unit the only reason Nathan Ablett got on Geelong's list was because of the name. Poor old Joe Bloggs is missing out quite a bit. I bet Unit was wishing we had picked up Joe in round 21 last year when Nathan kicked 4 against the Eagles. Also apparently the only reason Marc...

Luke Hodge, Stephen Baker, Amon Buchannan, Nathan Foley, Paul Lynch, Lachlan Veale (from the infamous Veale deal) and our most famous export....the man with the great moustache...Austin McCrabbe.

You scared me for a second there. I thought James Rahilly may have come out of retirement to take up a position down back.

It may be a prerequisite of the job but many don't adhere to it. Being an eagles fan you may wish to pass this on to Mr Gossage, Wilson and anyone involved with 6PR. An unbiased call is always provided by them :cool:

Someone needs to explain to him that special comments are meant to occur during breaks in play. I lost count the number of times the game was taking place and Malcom was off telling us one of his "theories". An example of this was Tenace taking off and having three bounces and a shot at goal...

Big Ted did you even watch the match? There was no flooding, not even a loose man in defence. How dare a side be within 10 points of the almighty saints at half time...well they must be flooding. The fact that St Kilda made a number of skill errors and missed easy shots wouldn't have had...

No he just pointed the finger at "training services" because their "processes" weren't adhering to the structure that Grant had put in place.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is officially the 10000th time that this comment has been used here on Big Footy. Quite amusing the first 2000 times but maybe time to move on now.

Thanks for the tip. When we got to a ten goal lead I got a bit excited and the tissues came in very handy.

I can't wait until his Monday press conference when once again he'll say that his senior players have let them down again and there will be changes only to drop some kid who has played less than 10 games. Obviously Jobe Watson was one of those senior players to get the axe from last week. Look...

Yeah saw it too. It was taken off ABC radio today with his father saying that Jordan wouldn't be at Carlton next year and off to Collingwood. His father saying that this was coming from someone (didn't catch the name) at Carlton and also that he knows Eddie quite well and the deals already done...

What a shame the big Unit won't be able to watch his beloved eagles play for the rest of the year. Apparently he is picketting Tabcorp's head office furious at the fact that they dare put up odds that have any team other than the eagles favourite. Then after his week long protest there he heads...

Considering he virtually runs everything down there I don't think THEY will act either. I could have sworn that after he pulled the knife out of Blight's back and appointed himself coach he stated that he would only coach to a better alternative came along. Obviously Terry Wallace and Rodney...

Just a question for the Richmond supporters who continually raise how Geelong made such a terrible decision by giving up Moloney for the Ottens. If you rate Moloney that highly then why don't you question your own club's decision making when in fact Richmond could have had Moloney themselves...

Why is it a disgrace? It's his life and he's not affecting any of us by letting himself go. I'd be tipping there are a few people on here for which the term pot/kettle/black would apply when it came to a weight issue.

Well according to one person there is only one match of the round this weekend. Last Friday night a certain commentator/president on no less than 5 occasions kept pumping up next weeks Friday Night Football!!! blockbuster on Nine as Collingwood vs Carlton. Being a cat fan I knew it was Geelong...

I think it's a great idea for the Richmond players to wear numbers that are hard to identify. After yesterdays performance I know I wouldn't want to be identified and want to keep as low a profile on the field as possible.

What does the AFL umpires feel they have the depth to rotate their best umpires now.....Mathew James and Corin Rowe not getting a gig in the first week. I hope they're injured because if not I can't see why they would be rested for round 1.

As a cat fan I was disappointed to see him leave because I rate him very highly and know he would be in our best 22. However at the same time I agree with the decision the club made. We needed a key forward, and even more so now that Graham has left. And while many will say Ottens isn't a key...

Ok TP to save yourself from typing the same thing over and over again we'll take it as said that any thread that remotely relates to Geelong (which this one didn't) or even has the letter g in it, we will automitically assume that there is to be some negative comment about Nathan Ablett inserted...

Because I was invited to play with an AFL club my father played for but had not progressed through the traditional path of U/18s and feared that Total Package would take out a vendetta against me as he has against similar players of my ilk. Oh I did consider changing my name to Brad Smith in the...
