Geelong may want to reconsider their List Management strategy. They may very well go out in straight sets. Ablett, Hawkins and Taylor are done. Selwood is well past his peak and they're losing Kelly. They also appear to have a lame duck Coach. Do they need an ageing mid in Steven? Their window may ...

And just to add...if we’ve learnt anything from our last fire sale; you just don’t trade away proven average to above average afl players in the prime age bracket of their careers for draft picks unless the player is a bad egg (Bruce is not, Carlisle probably is, but only those on the inner circle k...

If we trade Bruce, you’d think our forward line would be King, membrey and resting Ruck Marshall/Ryder...does leave us a bit diminished in terms of KP depth up forward, but if we keep Carlisle, I guess he or battle are forward options.

I’d like to see Bruce stay and let king come in as 2nd tall.

Wish them all well in life, no personal issue whatsoever but glad they are off our list. We have so many on our list who have made zero contribution the last 2 years it’s not funny. I’m hoping the cull is ruthless and we don’t bring in fringe players. Only proven good to excellent afl players in! Do...

I’d be stoked if we can get Ryder! We need proven quality. When fit he’s an afl standard Ruck who can play forward, exactly what we need!! We haven’t had 2 proven afl rucks on our list for nearly 10 years!! If we get 2 years and 20-30 games out of Ryder, pretty good outcome.

This just cracks me up - A club in the middle of a monumental rebuild ‘fail’ just hired the coach recently sacked for ‘failing’ a re-build to mentor/direct/do sweet F*** all for the said club in the midst of a failed re-build. And which genius thought up this pearler of an idea. This afl coaching me...

Didn’t hear the interview, just read the article on the afl website...Yes Watters totally discombobulated in his last year and he was simply the gap fill coach we probably needed to have as the list was stripped back...he was doomed to fail. But richardson had 4 years to mould the list, game style a...

From the afl article - Steven is a goner. Richo blocked him going home last year, reckon that led to him ‘sitting out’ a lot of this year, you’d have to think so. Geez Steven has done well to keep the narrative in his favour but reckon there was a ‘spit the dummy’ after being blocked?! Sounds like r...

I reckon we’ll ask for cockatoo after our high performance team convince Lethers they can ‘get him right’

Geelong have payed fair price for players they want in recent history, they’ll want stuv and we should try and get their 1st rd pick if possible given its only going to be in around pick 15

Out:
Mackenzie, Parker, langlands
In:
Paton, Steven, hannerbury

What have I missed? Since when does he want to leave? Since when would you offload a 4 x B&F winner who provides the pace and ball winning ability that we need so badly? When that player is getting old, no guarantee to be well enough to play again. Let’s not kid ourselves, he’s never made AA, h...

The 3 biggest dissapointments tonight for me were bruce, billings and Gresham: they all did some good things but when the game was hottest and right up for grabs, they really didn’t step up, Bruce with 2 set shots, Gresham just kicking so poorly at the moment and billings missing targets at importan...

The system is basically the same. Fact is we lost with the same issues as under AR Slow ball movement, Poor entries, Poor conversion 10 goals from 55 entries Nearly our whole list have only ever played under richardson with his game plan...I fear it’s going to take some undoing through both player ...

4-5 yrs of a pretty bad system will do that to a list

Too many passengers tonight and too many poor descion makers in our side at the moment

I think the single biggest thing the caretaker coach can do strategically is play players in different positions/roles; hopefully getting a better output. Everyone had opinions about who is best in which spot, no just forum guys, coaches too. They showed a great stat on Curnow and Murphy under Bolto...

I hope Harvey gets it! And he turns out to be a great head coach! Geez that’d be sweet! It’s probably worth a shot, we are such a low ebb, we need something huge to drag us out of the funk te club is in. I’m reading bomber thomspon’s Book at the moment and I’m finding his footy coaching/philosophies...

I can’t believe we drafted 2 18 year olds who were unlikely to play a single game of afl footy this season...I still just shake my head at this descion. We needed instant impact, we needed real tangible hope straight away. We couldn’t afford to take in two picks that we wouldn’t see in afl colours f...

Well first point will be on who is on the Selection Committee. Lethlean as a "best mate" of Scott has a clear conflict of interest and so should not be on it. If he is, the process will be compromised before it even starts. This is a good point and I agree 100%. If he’s on the panel, all ...

I’ve got a feeling we won’t enjoy the same ‘rebound’ effect that the Roos and Blues have enjoyed. I reckon we’ll go the other way in the short term...will be absolutely delighted to be proven completely wrong! Selection will be interesting to see if we see some of the old favs sent back to Sandy?! I...

Steven - yeah might come back and play a few games but he might not...noise Hannerbery...yeah not injured but DOMSY...this for a fact doesn’t last 2 weeks...noise Paddy...yeah went to the states. Got some clarity about things (how much clearer can - you’ve got a glass jaw, get KO’d easy so shouldn’t...

Good for the person on personal and life level...zero interest with regards a footy sense and we are still a mathematical chance for finals, our season is still alive, so don't care for the distractions that Roberton's return/McCartins trials and tribulations bring. Only interested in things that ca...

We need a proven winner who has win and all costs in his DNA. Someone who will drag the whole club on his Samsonian shoulders to the promised land, an old fashioned "Super Coach" ...that man is LEIGH MATTHEWS. I'll be underwhelmed with anyone else...bar Alistair Clarkson...or maybe at a pi...

The last thing we need...and I repeat...the last thing we need is an untried player with no afl experience. Unless we are rebuilding (and good luck selling that one without a member revolt), we need players with at least 50 games experience and proven good to excellent footballers that will walk int...
