Hamish Hartlett has been given the arse by Port

Cats have two options in my view. They have no next tier of young players to replace their 30+ players. So they Either double down on the aged star strategy to have one last dice roll with danger Selwood and porkins, or they need to seriously clean shop and bottom out. But not sure Scott is the right man to lead the rebuild and don’t know if there is appetite to spend 2-3 years at the bottom of the ladder.
I think last year was their best chance. They made the granny but couldn't get over the final hurdle....the mighty tigers. With their aging list they'll struggle next year before falling off the cliff in 2023.
Hard to tell with the Cats. You can argue last year was their best chance as they were playing 16 minute quarters and this year they played above themselves. Or, this year they ran out of steam jsut like the other prelim finalists from last year, and next year they'll be a chance after a good break this year.

Just looking at the VFL results, they must have some good kids available to finish the season 7-2 with a percentage of 167%.

Going to be interesting to see what they do over the preseason.
 
Is Hamish Hartlett too young for Geelong to recruit?
 
Harry Himmelberg kicked a goal after the siren .They played part of the Giants theme song after every goal they kicked throughout the game .

I backed us to win by 40+, as I did in all those finals. That’s the only one that failed but I didn’t know because Ch 7 was focusing on our players celebrating.

Pretty typical of Himmelberg to kick one that didn’t matter. It mattered to me, though.

Shows how significant us making a Grand Final was. I don’t think I’ve seen a broadcaster not bother showing a shot on goal before.

Bogan Pies supporting coworker was whinging about Collingwood appointing a "No name" in McCrae today.

Mate, have a look through history, many of the most successful coaches were "no names" when appointed 🤣

**** me, does the coworker even know about football? Have a look at his playing then coaching career thus far? Who did he want given Clarko was unavailable?
 
it was weird alright.
I think they kicked a goal on the siren, from my hazy memory. Could’ve caused the **** up.

Correct. Because there was no GWS crowd they played their theme song after every goal they kicked that night… and they kicked one on the final siren. Old mate in the sound studio wasn’t smart enough to realise probably best not to play it then…. but that’s why it happened.

Nah, if you go 2 or more years without a flag then that ends the dynasty i reckon.

Would be like including the 2008 Hawks side with their 2013-15 3peat side as the same dynasty.
If it's the same coach and the same core of players it's hard to argue against that being a dynasty. It's subjective anyway, everyone's opinion is different. Maybe Afls new head of football can put out a brain fart rule that somehow includes Geelong's 2011-?? dynasty based on the likelyhood of winning a Premiership. All the while the dust gathers in the Cats trophy cabinet.
 
He is no peak Dusty, but on current form he has surpassed him & looks set to have a few good years at or near the top of the tree. He is brilliant to watch & one of the most likeable players i can recall - he & Bont
LoL.
 
Players to have got the Dusty comparison in the last 4 years, that aren't Dustin Martin.

  • Jordan DeGoey
  • Izak Rankine
  • Christian Petracca
  • Cameron Zurhaar
  • Toby Greene
  • Jake Stringer
  • Matthew Rowell
Total premierships between them all = 1
Total Brownlows between them all = 0
Total Norm Smiths between them all = 0
etc.

Completely rent free in all their heads. Nobody ever says "he's the next Buddy Franklin". Rent f***ing free.
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is the next Buddy, hadn't you heard?
