Also,

This disrespect towards Duncan is off the charts

His been a awesome player for us... and a great club man. But unfortunately his just not the player who once was and to keep playing at AFL level.... just because people say that doesn't mean it's disrespectful

 

[foxdog50]

Depends what need it's for.

If both forwards are down I'd pick Rohan over Duncan. If we needed some mid assistance it'd be Duncan.

Both can be useful.

But you only can choose 1 for the 2025 season. Take all what you said and choose 1

 

[foxdog50]

How did Bruhn and Atkins go in the prelim?

Well Bruhn was injured that game... And reports said he would of struggled to come up if Geelong made the GF

I can't understand the commentary that he's more cooked than a guy we've been actively managing through the season for two years.

Duncan.

Rohan gets injured at the drop of a hat, so at least Mitch can provide some backup.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Averaged more disposals a game than both Bruhn and Atkins this year and can actually hit a target. Duncan on fumes is better than some of our full time midfielders

Not sure we actually have a full time midfielder

 

[cats_09]

I’m no lawyer but I would assume unless deemed medically unfit to play that Oliver would need to play to satisfy his requirements of the contract to be paid. I’m not sure he can just refuse to play for them.

Cam McCarthy sat out the 2016 season when no trade was agreed to between GWS & Freo - do we know what happened to him in terms of his contract and salary?

 

[cats_09]

Someone is obviously new to the sport of AFL, doesn't understand the history of the AFL or literally how they changed the drafting process of F&S selections following Geelong's acquisition of Hawkins with pick 41

Agree, I’d have Duncan over Rohan. I know Duncs has slowed down but footy IQ and skills over pace.

 

[iameviljez]

Couldn't he just go do a ton of blow again, cite mental health issues, and sit the season out? It might not be planned, but it's certainly not implausible as an eventuation, if he really doesn't want to be there.

If Clayton Oliver does that, he will never play AFL again. I think people have learned from the Cousins and Carey sabbaticals - and Oliver is no Cousins or Carey.

 

[iameviljez]

Agree, I’d have Duncan over Rohan. I know Duncs has slowed down but footy IQ and skills over pace.

I'd have Duncan over Rohan as well.

Yes, he's not what he was - but he can still get his 20 touches off half-back or through the middle, he's still decent by foot, he still keeps a cool head and he can still play in a variety of roles.

The writing was on Rohan's wall when he got donuts in a VFL final. The guy also only plays one position at AFL level.

 

[supahoops]

If you had to choose 1 player to play in 2025. In Mitch Duncan or Gary Roha?
Who would everyone choose?

Oisin Mullin

Yeah Nah...
Time is up.
Old age, a slowing body then add to that a faster game, it has taken it's toll.
He'll get gifted the 2-3 odd games to get to the 300 club in 2025.
Well done! The Club has done the right thing and congrats to Mitch.
For me he was always the 4th even the 5th midfield amigo in my book.
He was part of great teams, a great era, magnificent midfields & was a fantastic foot soldier that complimented them well.
But that's my opinion and we all have them so I'll just stick to that and mine.
I and i'd say WE as a collective Wish him well.
I thank him for his contribution to a mighty era that the club went through as he was indeed an integral part of it.
As with many of those boys who were part of it we cheer off Mitch & Hawk as they are the last of the MOHICANS!

I’m not sure but that’s as close to a precedent that we have.

No opponent helps to pad that stat.
So i hate to say it.
Stats do lie occasionally.

Lol was only a matter of time

 

[dont stop me meow]

How did Bruhn and Atkins go in the prelim?

...death, taxes and a Warhorse drive-by directed at Bruhn

 

[bruce lindner]

I don't think the coaching staff really knew how to effectively use either Rohan or Duncan this season as aged champions they were with their own individual deficiencies. It seemed like either of them were not great sub options and it was hard to hide them or get them into the game against more highly skilled, quicker opposition. Both were okay at times against weaker opposition who were less efficient, played less continuous footy and also allowed us to get it on our terms. Statistically, Rohan seemed to have had a bigger drop off this season evident by his noticeable inability to impact games seen in his reduction in tackles and contested possessions which had made him so dangerous in recent years.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

But you only can choose 1 for the 2025 season. Take all what you said and choose 1

I would choose neither. Both shouldn't be in our side now.

So you've used your lowest bar. Your whipping boy so to speak.
And somehow used it to praise up another bloke with it??
C'mon man. You're one of my favourite scribes on here for your many differing posts.
But you've tripped yourself up here buddy.
But i'll help you up.
Have another stab at it.
Mitch Duncan is/was.... {insert here}.
I'll help. For me.... "One of our finest foot soldiers in a golden era"
Cheers Bud. Keep punching!

 

[year of the cat]

Kid called Gabriel Stumpf has tested very well in the combine. Tall forward who hasn’t been given much mention in draft discussions. May be a possibility with one of our late picks?

...death, taxes and a Warhorse drive-by directed at Bruhn

I’m surprised he didn’t die of auto erotic asphyxiation on Friday evening

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He has to play but he can just phone it in and play at half power all year.

He could but it wouldn’t reflect well on him.

No disrespect intended, but at their current outputs, Rohan can be a difference maker in a position we don't have a lot of depth in.
