2018 AFL Season

[Brodlach]

If Tom Lynch (GC) headed to Brisbane they could be anything. Just need a big powerful forward as their last piece.

They are inexperienced all over the ground. Need another 50-60 games with the current group while replacing the stalwarts that don't have that many games left.

Does anyone else think it’s weird we are playing Richmond at Etihad in our next game?

Rather it at the G, but it makes zero sense...

I think it’s ridiculous Geelong have to play a home game at the G.

[MW]

Do they HAVE too though?

[Spargo]

All MCG tenants play one home game at Etihad IIRC
I’m pretty sure Geelong choose to play certain home games at the MCG for money reasons.
When was the last time Collingwood or Essendon played at Kardinia Pk? Would have to be near on 30 years ago.

[Wedgie]

The Cats aren’t unhappy about playing a couple of home games at the MCG. Their point — as enunciated by president Colin Carter — is that this should be their choice, rather than the AFL’s.

Geelong president Colin Carter has called on the AFL to honour the club’s wish for all its home games to be played at Simonds Stadium.

Speaking to SEN before the club’s win over Collingwood, Carter outlined that the club wants its home games to be played at their preference, Simonds Stadium.

“There is no competition that I know around the world which ever takes a game away from the home team to play it somewhere else,” the Geelong president told SEN's Crunch Time..

I’d love for us to go back and play at KP and think Geelong should play every home game there. Are Geelong willing to give up Easter Monday and be treated the same as an interstate side in regards to membership etc though? Will they then also complain that they only play 2 games a year at the MCG like interstate sides do?

"Non-Victorian", not "interstate".

We have to learn to play at the G just like everyone else if we expect to win the premiership. While we didn't win yesterday at least it was a step in the right directon. Just need to stop selecting the likes of Gregson, Parsons and Zuthrie. When Parsons was the late in I knew we were going to get done right away.

Christian finds the Martin contact with the umpire as careless and not intentional.

Look, even though Martin turns around and walks back to demonstrate to the umpire what happened in the contest and makes contact with the umpire doesn't mean it's intentional. It's careless. Also says he took into account findings of the tribunal on other matters like this and even though this was very similar to the one May got suspended for he felt it was only worth of a fine.

At least the new system is better.

I reckon Parsons sits somewhere near the no 1 worst player to reguarly get a game in the comp. Duryea, around the mark. Who else?? Not Toumpas Carey, he doesnt get a regualar game. Neade is up there. Cripps at WC

Id be happy to trust someone to do away with all this careless and intentional crap and just look at the incident with commone sense and say yep thats worth a game or thats worth 2 or its only a fine.
I still dont think there has been an incident this year that is worthy of a suspension. They can still be found guilty and reprimanded, does that give the required level of protection to the AFL from players down the track launching legal action?

Cripps at WC wins. Jackson Trengove not far behind.

Atkins, Jenkins, Duryea, Mackay, Neade, Houston, Murdoch, Willams, Wright, Blair, Mayne, Pearce, McCarthy

That’s just off the top of my head.
