the balance act for every team is to be at or near the window, on the way up , in 2026/27 as that is when Tasmania will get the draft benefits 26-29 so you dont want to be sliding or rebuilding at that point in time as you will be down for a long time in the cycle. Collingwood for example could be i...

I like the idea of what Geelong and a few others have done recently of getting 20+ reserves games into player when they need to before pushing them up to Seniors. Some dont need that long but appears that Keeler is one that does, as does Heath. Patience will be important so when they get their chanc...

Out: Windy (sus), Bonner (The Baker) , Caminiti In: King, Collard, Garcia Richmond with Lynch out are not overly tall forward so cant see how schoenmaker gets a run no match up. B: Stocker, Cordy, Wilkie HB: Sinclair, Battle, Nas C: Hill, Steele, Brynes HF: Phillipou , Membrey, Wilson F: Butler, Kin...

Young people, middle aged people, and even older people take recreational drugs. They're everywhere and it's a reality we have to accept. The drugs that really count are the performance enhancing drugs like EPO and this is where the testing should focus the most. Most recreational drugs are not per...

The AFL brand has been tarnished Headquarters wants it's servants to be all singing the same tune In all the interviews with coaches that I've heard so far, they are basically saying the same thing. One of the common theme's is that they weren't aware of any of their players being told to fake inju...

Once again the spin doctors are at it. Melbourne ex doctor, hung out to dry by Pert for questioning drug culture, discloses that they tested players mid week and kept results secret and stood down players if needed. AFL response yes we knew but its ok as all about health. The AFL drug policy is a jo...

OUT: King , Wood, Henry
IN Jones (to 22) Butler, Shoenmaker ( and Cordy plays forward) or Camminiti, Sub either Hastie or Collard.

only way i see him playing is if King gets rubbed out - surely low impact and a fine,- and Cordy plays forward.
Jones in for Wood
Perhaps Crouch for Henry
Hastie the sub

5 Nas
4 Windy
3 Higgins
2 Steele
1 King

Hit outs are some what overrated. That said how many complete ruckmen are there in the league- centre square , around the ground and possessions. Considering there are on average maybe 25-30 centre sq ball ups it is a trade off to some extent and he wins some of these, so say it is 10 v 20 but Roma ...

One thing at the end of Round 1was that most likely 9 teams were going to have lost. Really don't understand the negativity though. Geelong are a side in the same bracket of teams as Stkilda 5-10 IMO Geelong have Superstars in Cameron and Stewart and the new protected species of the league in Danger...

No . Serial offender who IMO has foregone all his 3rd and 4th chances.

Does the name Lovett ring any bells for people.

after 40 + years of membership would be enough to see that streak end.

If you don't stand for something you stand for nothing.

Head says no.
haven't won there since Loewe Harvey and Burke were still playing

That said will make a statement if we do regardless of where Geelong end up

Pots and kettles

*round 1* B: Stock, Wilkie, Shoen/Cordy HB: Bonner, Battle, NWM C: Wood, Steele, Hill HF: Sharman, Owens, Henry F: Higgins, King, Membrey Foll: Marshall, Pou, Ross I/C: Wilson, Byrnes, Crouch, Garcia Sub: Collard Missing: Sinclair, Windy, Clark, Dow, Jones, Webster, Howard.

been off line for the off season. Where do we need to pay?

Simon's security blanket Gil is no longer in charge so the gun to our head has been lowered somewhat.

Met Heatley at a mutual friends party a few years ago now. Cracking bloke happy to talk about footy and time at the saints. Best kick for goal I have seen. Was a real barometer for the team in 1997 and I can't recall a game where he got taken off and we won. I think may have been Alves whipping boy...

Reading both the Melbourne papers it appears that once again the off field St.Kilda has found a way to turn a positive thing such as the DFC into a poor PR position. While the details are sketchy it appears that the club is now charging for services and rent to the charity. Surely if this is require...

happy to go again and show the loyalty that's often mentioned on here to RB
