VFL VFL 2024 - Geelong & the greater league

[cats_09]

Congrats to Mitch on his VFL Team of the Year honours, but I did have a chuckle that they could only find a spot on the HFF for him

 

[OzeSparky]

I did have someone tell me after the Freo match that we were no chance to win another game without Hawkins back in the team

I had someone tell me when I asked for the coaches to move Tom Stewart on the ball (way before they did) to please not.

That move changed our season around.

I would have said to please not. Turns out I was wrong.

Can Dom be caught…

 

[cats_09]

Maybe the umpires weren’t swayed by Hardie’s season either…

Hardie was on 7 votes after round 5, and has earned himself only another 7 votes across the next 12 rounds

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Will get drafted.

[And_ROOS]

I think they've finally give up for the season

Though I'm curious what happens come season's end and news of him being delisted comes out

Edit - I did see someone on FB say as should get him in for the prelim (not sure if serious though)

We are still here waiting for his Grand Final debut.

We are still here waiting for his Grand Final debut.

Has he signed with Werribee or GC?

Hardie polled a 5 votes across the last 4 games to finish with 19 votes and jump up to 4th

If Brew is to get his chance, thinking it'll be with North or Richmond

Yeah because he will be getting them in the AFL each week.

Maybe the umpires weren’t swayed by Hardie’s season either…

Hardie was on 7 votes after round 5, and has earned himself only another 7 votes across the next 12 rounds

Dempsey got same votes last year (14) playing 12 full games (other 2 he left at half time). In a team that didn’t win a huge amount of games.

Not to downplay Hardie’s year - he should be proud of coming from SANFL to show he can compete in VFL. But maybe shows that to make transition to AFL just need to have more impactful games rather than just be a strong consistent player

Just wait to see what happens if you mention Scratcher ...

He's ooc so he's leaving it late to sign. Could be WB?

TF he's contracted.

 

[cats_09]

It has been reported we've offered him a contract - the delay could be whether it's a direct promotion to the senior list this year or a third year on the rookie list
