forgot to add, leopold had about 50 to 60 at a team meeting tonight. How will they go next year, they seem pretty keen to do well. I dont know much about them.
In my opinion Leopold along with Grovedale and to a lesser extent Newtown are probably the only sides outside the top 5 that could maybe sneak into the 5 next year.. Although they would have to recruit very very well to displace the current top5 who were a mile above everyone this season.

But I've heard they are losing Collins, Lynch & Wright so aren't they only replacing what they are losing? Pressure is about due on the Lions. They seem to pick up some good recruits every year but every season seem to finish around the same spot on the ladder without making the finals.
St Albans were throwing some big coin to big handy ruckman Tom Perry from Barwon Heads who won BFL Reserves B&F. He would have accepted it if it wasn't a 2 year deal. Is a really good player when going but only problem with the big fella his heart isn't in it and would rather have a kick for shits and giggles. His having a year off next year.

If St Albans are throwing money at a BFL reserves ruckman then they are in big trouble. A guy who cant even get a game in an average BFL teams senior side surely could not cut it at GFL level. Surely this cant be right.

Have you seen there recent record in regards to recruitment? Narowki, Potter etc.. - It sounds so stupid it would almost be true of St Albans.

Collins, Lynch retiring I'm guessing? What about Wright?
You're right, sounds like they are replacing what they're losing so far, but a few different players can always add a different element to a group, hopefully bring some positive energy to the place, and a few early signatures can't hurt in bringing about some more signatures.
Little birdy told me Purton was looking to travel north, any truth to that?
With all the recent redevelopment of West oval I beleive now is the time for Football Geelong to scrap the idea of playing finals footy at Skilled stadium and take our show piece event on the local footy calendar back to a local ground.
When you look around the other regional centers of victoria, noticebly Ballarat and Bendigo, our grounds have got nothing on there's in terms of character,history,atmosphere etc. West is starting to get a bit of that with redevelopment and i'd personally love to see the ground host GFL grand finals again. Opinions???

Ask the bloke who broke his wrist on the velodrome where they should be played! - Need to sort that out first.
Do agree that it needs to be moved from Skilled though.
Very true about the veladrome being a problem. Does anyone know if its still used or do do we have another veladrome?? Sounds stupid i know but i know nothing about cycling and wouldn't have the slightest if there's another veladrome in Geelong or not!!!
coach aaron greaves' job was advertised in the paper on saturday
Going to country footy maybe? or where the money is better ?x

Not really that much of a surprise. Seems to leave then re-appear every couple of years or so.
Grovedale meeting with exciting full forward Julien Carr this week. Seems like Modda and Grovey will be fighting for his signature. Would be a very good signing for Grovey if it happens...
Is that that same Jules that played for Modda a few years back? Where has he been playing recently

Is this the ex Belmont Lions Julian Carr? If so I wouldn't bid too high for him!
Yeah same bloke mate, not sure where he's been recently tho.
Yeah look he's probably played to much in lower leagues eg- Belmont,Modda,Forrest or somewhere in the CDFL but he is a very talented footballer who did play for the North Ballarat tac team so he could be a good get if he decides to have a real crack, which he'd have to do if he decides to play GFL.
