What is your rational?

Imo their core is good and young but it is their players on the periphery who are lacklustre, that poor bottom 6-8 that kills you in finals but not at the lower standard of the H&A season.

And I'll add that despite fielding a younger team than Hawks they're relatively experienced in finals

They got thrashed …they are a fair way from being a threat they had a good run late in the season and snucked in

Have to be honest, I don't mind a good troll every now and again but I'm pretty frustrated with the amount of garbage Geelong has received by opposition fans this year.
This whole Bailey Smith saga . . . there's been some truly appalling commentary. It's brought out the worst in all supporters. Don't mind if Doggie supporters are disgruntled by we are copping from Richmond, Hawthorn (were dead silent for a few years and now they're back and chirpy as f*ck) and Carlton.
Carlton! Do they not remember they recently got done for salary cap rorting and here they are hanging sh*t on us.

Nothing worse seeing clubs tank, poach all the best talent in the land for years on end, rise back up the ladder and start mouthing off. As if they should be respected.

This. I do like the melting but those 3 clubs in particular seem to have the worst fans.

Hawthorn fans only support for the Glory, they are nowhere to be seen when down the bottom.

Carlton are hard to respect with the cheating past, getting players from being rubbish and still can’t win with all the gifts given. At least Melbourne won a flag after being handed everything.

Richmond well…. We’ve all seen them around here. They are scarred from many years of torture it seems.

Agree. Some of it has been unedifying - read pathetic. It accompanies being successful I guess - ie envy.

I think it's a good pick up, they have a young but solid midfield, worst case scenario he replaces Houston down back, best case scenario they have a working forward line. As long as they don't get smashed with injuries next year they should make the 8.

Guy was drafted to the wrong club, at pretty much any other club he would have grown into a franchise player.

People bash lukosious but i think with the right role and coach he could be bloody good.

He screams the type of player scott would turn into an elite with.

I could see scott using him as a roaming intercept type across HB and using his elite kicking to cut through the corridor.

He is not a key forward at the elite level from what i can see, but a roaming back half utility/winger with penetrating skills.

I've been firmly in the "do not want Oliver" group of supporters but if the club do go after him this final week, can only back in their better judgement and be all in for the cause.
I guess if anything, having a strong bull still in their prime can only be beneficial to Clark, Holmes and Bruhn.

That's the issue. I think too many see him as he was years ago when he was racking up best B & F trophies. That said, I trust the movers-n-shakers to make to right call and on the right conditions. Doubt he'll be in the hoops next year though.

Me too - but i must trust the club as much as I hate it . . .

 

[Stokey]

Do the Demons want a player that has checked out on their books for 6 more years.

Whatever Oliver's issues are, very rarely are they solved by staying in the same place. Starting afresh is always the first step.

I think the Demons are saying all the right things but I reckon Geelong showed Oliver the greener grass. There's usually no way back from that.

I really expect him to end up with us in the end.

Surely if Port acquire Lukocious they will deploy him in the F50.

He, Georgiades and Rioli are something to build around without putting all their chips in with frailer prospects like Marshall and Dixon.
