Afl reserve sides in a competition that is not quite the national reserves comp that's fair is the problem Art Vandelay! Afl seconds sides is all based around development and growth for the drafted players from season 1 to how long they're on before being delisted.Some of us expect better than the loser culture that infested this club during the time your shit truck display pic represented us.
We've had a reasonably manageable I jury list all year leading to strong AFL representation at VFL level. Straight sets is unacceptable.
Look id drop blicavs and play both but that wont happen.
On stanley its a valid question. Earlier in the year i thought his knee was cooked and he still might be but he looks much fitter the last month. Maybe with the week off he can get through 2 more finals.

Defensive numbers never tell the true story with the exception of Stewie and Zuthries intercept numbers, but Blicavs in defense this season has been better than SDK in defense this year and last year just as SDK in the ruck has been better than Blicavs in the ruck this year despite putting up similar numbers in both circumstances.
But Stanley in the ruck is better than SDK.
In 2022 we had SDK in DEF, Blicavs mobile tall, Stanley ruck and Hawkins FWD.
This year we could easily go Blicavs in DEF, SDK mobile tall, Stanley ruck and Neale FWD but then who do you drop to facilitate that? Mullins is already likely out for Stewart, so who else makes way?
But the locks right now for me are Blicavs as a KPD, Neale as a KPF and Stanley in the ruck. And unless Stanley gets injured or Neale has a putrid PF and I doubt they experiment with SDK as a KPF in a GF if we make it.
How did Jeka go on Saturday? I like having him as a tall defender backup, and he can play forward if necessary, but he doesn’t impose himself on the game despite his height and skills.
So if previous finals selections are anything to go by, sounds like it will be Guthrie in for Stanley, then...I’d take any of those 3 at the moment as much as I love Guth.
Losing today pretty much ends his season now though. You cannot bring him back off 1 VFL game unless it’s an emergency.
The only way I would consider it is if we had a serious injury to a mid or if it was pissing down with rain in the prelim and we need bigger bodies in the midfield.
No good.
He won't make it.
Heron was on Gold Coast's list and got delisted, trained with Geelong VFL to get a senior spot but they didn't want him, went to North VFL to do the same thing but same result.Was just looking at the stats for that game, Crossley 71 hit outs. Appears Ryan Gardner was the dogs second ruckman but still. The guy looks like he could beat Mumford in a sausage eating contest but gets the business done at that level.
Heron who looked good on the outside against us had 13 tackles and 8 clearances in the wet conditions this week. Guy definitely profiles a bit like a Mannagh, albeit without the same scoreboard impact. Interesting to see if he gets picked in the draft.
There must be some mistake. Hardie should be up there
Yeah I was just on a fishing trip don't mind meGeelong sucked for the first few games did we not. Then we went on a tear. You'd expect Hardie to be in the mix 15 rounds in and then not poll a lot towards the end.
Surely a high finish increases his trade value
Surely we need a 30+ disposal mid. We are no chance of making a prelim without oneStill a chance for a debut
Do the Hardie groupies still exist
