Missed his presser. I personally don't like him but good to hear he was magnanimous.

Selwood only has to turn up to attract the accolades of some.
Henderson.......Walker.......Kreuzer.......Buckley.......Everitt......Robinson.......Garlett.
Admittedly a couple of those guys may not have their head in the right place but at best are automatic ins................anyway.

Well you are right. Pretty solid observations from the duck, doesn't seem to buy into the prevailing narrative.
Impressive analyst.

Final thought before I sleep - despite the unfortunate injury, Menzel gives me disturbingly happy feelings
We have very different standards. He was bottom six for us today.
Ellard is terrible.
Menzel has elite aspects of his game. I don't see one thing that makes me think graham will be a 200 game player.
That's why I said Geelong were fortunate not to have faced significant scrutiny & did things smarter than Essendope. There is a reason why Bomber Thompson looks so jumpy at media conferences.
That's what a good coach can do, build self-belief and desire.
We don't have all the parts of the equation he wants right now but he will get them in time. But, in the interim, he's extracting every last drop of sweat and application from the players he has.
The players who are at the club next year will be better for it individually & collectively, and this will breed trust & camaraderie amongst the whole list. They are intangibles that win you big finals and very close games.
Justified IMO.

Everybody is playing to win out there at the moment. Despite the quality of those players, you'd want to make certain they are going all out for the win as well. Only takes someone going through the motions to spread apathy through a whole team sometimes. Even our guns have to work hard to get a game if this current attitude persists.
We know who you'll be dreaming about

At the end of the day I wouldn't say there was a huge difference in there output. Plus carrots destroyed the little shit the other way. But because it's selwood and Geelong won no one will notice
Sorry for Graham because he could hardly walk 5 days ago...........anyway.

You didnt watch last week?
Im overly critical of the list and would nearly cut it in half if I could, but I have lots of time for Graham

I do notice Graham not being used as much as he should. Possibly due to being new to the seniors.
His skill and smarts is enough to suggest he can develop into a very solid player for us.
He is also not as slow as people are making out. Although he lacks the initial burst of speed he is more than capable of weaving his way through traffic.

Not sure why casboult is coping a spray ... Everyone says his last month has been ordinary but he was crucial against north leading up the ground and opening space up for Waite and hendo
Thought he was ok against GC
And tonight he kept Taylor busy , he was beaten @ ground level but worked hard up the ground and his body position wad crucial on Taylor to allow white to mark and kick his goal @ the start of the 2nd
He will never be a big goal kicker , his kicking style is average but he is the best contested mark in the team and gives an option coming out of the back line
Reminds me a little of earl Spalding !!

His instinctive goal from the Taylor handpass in the goal-square was sheer brilliance !!
You can't teach that, a player either has that thought process or they don't.

Really what happened?
Injured in the GC match and hobbling about like a cripple on Sunday at Williamstown.
I absolutely loved our effort tonight, we lost our rotations but still kept fighting. There is a lot to like about our boys and right now I am gutted but I am very proud.
Ps I hope Thomas and Menz are ok.

Awesome game, feeling good about our progress.
Cotton wool time.
We have a few guys in the 2's that may not be AFL standard jus yet, but will bleed till the end.............It's time.
