I actually think Clohesy has a brighter future at the Cats than Hardie.
I mean that’s not hard considering Hardie doesn’t have a future at Geelong as soon as VFL finals finish this season

I actually think Clohesy has a brighter future at the Cats than Hardie.
Which basically means he needs to build his tank.I think Clark and Mullin have attributes that will ( eventually) make them AFL regulars.
I'm all in on Bruhn but he does need to find more of the football - needs to be 20+ regularly in 2025.
I want to believe in Knevitt - 194cm , athletic and solid skills - ideal for the modern game.
It's all there except confidence and intensity , he looks timid in AFL compared to VFL where he digs in hard and is prepared to take contact. Time is running out though , must make 2025 a breakout year..................
Agree KGWhich basically means he needs to build his tank.
His possession per TOG% is fine, and his clearance total is exceptional per TOG%, but we need him out there for longer.
With a bigger tank, if he can provide what he did in that first quarter against Hawthorn early in the year regularly and across 3-4 quarter's he'll be a star in waiting.
All up to him now.

I've had a theory on him for a while that it's all confidence and mentality related.Didn't Knevitt make the top 10 in a few draft combine results?
I have to be honest, looking at him today, it's difficult to see how because he isn't that fast but he can take a solid overhead mark.
There's a long line of impressive tall midfielders who eventually tapered out to become nothing more than decent local league footballers.
We all remember Drum, Jansen & Smedts.
Menegola was pretty good and he would be the perfect type of player to accommodate this midfield right now.
Thats it F2G - it is like that big CHF for Freo , hes been their 15 years ( or it seems like forever ) and he still isnt the finished productAgree KG
Slight concern for me is he's been in the system a while now , hopefully he'll build more endurance over this preseason.
This is definitely true. But it's also damning Ted with very faint praise, I believe. Credit to Mitch for sticking at it and putting up the numbers he has throughout the year; hopefully another club might throw him a lifeline in some form for the future.I actually think Clohesy has a brighter future at the Cats than Hardie.

Looks like the Budgies have thrown in the towel - McGovern , Barrass , Ryan and Gaff to miss with Allen , Darling and possibly Waterman doubtful.
Not ideal for us on the eve of Finals , hoping for a full four 1/4 pressure game from us though.
I don't know if he'll make it as a mid but Knevitt's only weakness really is his leg speed. He could be a good key defender at his heightFWIW , i dont think Knevitt will make it in the AFL
Through the journey there has been plenty like him who just cant cut the mustard at the highest level , but when they go to a lower level they excel
The late Tony Gilmore at a guess would have played 20-30 senior games for the Cats , however when he crossed to Geelong West in the VFA , he was an absolute super star centreman , a ball magnet
Also re Mullin , of the young players he is the one to get excited about , he is athetically gifted , got a real turn of foot , good o/head mark and a very nice penetrating kick . If he can do 2 things , understand the game of Aust rules better and 2ndly take the attitude that yes i am a good player and i belong out their , i just think he looks to be in awe of some Geel players
If those 2 things happen , i think he will be a far better player than both Bruhn and Clark
Mitch Hardie for a Pickett style GF debut4 hours until melt time
So, for the last time in season 2024 (as I doubt we'd debut him in finals) - will Mitch Hardie be named for his senior debut:
Yes, or
No
?
I actually think Hardie will get given his game and will be our sub
Bruhn's biggest question mark so far is durability. Even if not all of them have caused him to miss games, how many knocks and niggles has he accumulated the past two seasons? Enough to disrupt form and fitness that's for sure, which is particularly seen in some of the stinkers he has first game back in the 1's.Which basically means he needs to build his tank.

We get a week off anyway so any good form or bad form means nothing.Looks like the Budgies have thrown in the towel - McGovern , Barrass , Ryan and Gaff to miss with Allen , Darling and possibly Waterman doubtful.
