Just finished my celebrations after that victory. What a win ;) ;) :roll:

In all seriousness, i can not believe people are reading anything into that. The only thing is, that maybe the Geelong kids are not as ready as people thought they were after last weeks win against the suns. Thats about the only thing to read from that game IMO


There's nothing wrong with Geelong's kids, it's just that no club can field so many at once and not have it affect the performance of the team as a whole. It's one thing beating the Gold Coast but it's another to beat a near full strength side that is arking up it's pre-season preparation because they have a tough early draw. The big worry for mine was the form of the senior guys, not the kids but as the old saying goes flags aren't won in March...unless you're the Weagles or the Cows.

PS - Get out of our thread. ;)



Chappy would be the bigger worry out of those senior players, although he could of just needed the run and will definitely be better for it

The lesser teams in the comp (Adelaide and Port) get their own, so why shouldn't the powerhouse team?

Not until just now, with time to reflect upon it, have I noticed the uncanny almost frightening similarities.

It's all relative, isn't it? He's done what's best for him based on all the information he has at hand. I'm sure you did the same.

Geelong, like all clubs, has spat out players as part of a yearly routine. Every so often the players get one back and supporters carry on like it's a crime.

If you want to follow AFL, accept the fact loyalty in either direction is no longer an emotion - it's a commodity.

So Gazza's contract sets him up for life right, no financial woes ever.
Hypothetically, a straggler, like Port, offers him 2 million a year once his contract expires, forget greener pastures, because he is already rich as all hell, he should go for it because loyalty is dead? Stuff that joke.
