AFL 2024

[Dutchy]

Port need more than a new coach to challenge for a premiership.
Their forward setup is average at best.
Marshall and Lord won’t scare too many defenders and Rioli is too hot and cold.
And there’s a good reason Ratugolea couldn’t get a game at the Cats as he lacks speed and his ball movement and decision making is Div 3 ammo stuff.
Need a genuine lockdown defender

Marshall is simply a high lead up forward, he should be playing 30-100 away from goal and never be inside 30, and has been a prime example of suffering under the current game plan.

Should've never been reported.
Walsh flopped, they're all doing it.

Seriously these guys need to do more neck weights like f1 drivers do.

C’mon mate , I think you need to watch it again with your glasses on.
Walsh had a 95kg beast tackle him and he could do nothing.
He certainly didn’t flop.

Have a really close look ....he could've kept his neck taut then his head never would've hit the ground.

Watch the game closely, someone's going to get seriously hurt by trying to draw free kicks for head contact.
Watch blokes wait to kick at the very last minute trying to draw a free after disposal. Some of them dropping the knees hoping to get hit high.

It madness, but it seems I'm the only one noticing it.....with my glasses on.

Just as well this guy didn’t play in the AFL then …

Amazingly, in all the coaches manuals I've read, all the coaches workshops I've attended (and presented at many moons ago), in the physiology or biomechanics lectures I attended at Uni (admittedly often hungover so may have easily missed it), never have I heard of the new technique of 'keeping your neck taut when you're tackled'.

Probably added to this years pre draft screening tests, vertical leap, agility test, 20m sprint and neck strength.

Game changing stuff!

Can happen if you don’t completely swallow the blue pill.

Or.....get a better acting coach.
Not Steven May's though, he really belongs on home and away.

Stengle signs on at Geelong for another 5 years at less than offered elsewhere.

Makes sense, he has a history of poor choices

If winning a flag constitutes a poor decision?

Was more so thinking the drug possession charges and poor life choices up until that time. But never mind.

Going to be an awesome run to finals with clubs from 5th to 13th all within 1 win/loss of each other. Fremantle & Essendon with a draw each keeping them in 3rd & 4th. Freo, Brisbane, Suns & Melbourne SHOULD be the only guaranteed winners out of those fighting for top 8 spots this weekend.

I think you mean he made the right choice to stay there

Totally agree - he could easily have been languishing back in the suburban leagues getting in trouble because he wasn't given a fair go (to which I dont agree). Geelong have certainly helped him in life - let's hope it for life.

[The Bedge]

Ladder is very tight at the moment, only 2pts between 3rd and 13th.

I had GWS and GC making the 8, but I'm not so sure anymore.. feel like Brisbane will take a spot, and then it's a raffled between the Dogs, Port, GWS, GC and Melbourne.

He sure has!
That's a great deal for him and he's obviously worth it to Geelong.

[Booney]

Do a ladder predictor, I reckon there's at least 4 games every week you can't pick with any confidence.

Tony Locket would struggle to get a goal in Port's forward line. Their disposal to the key forwards yesterday was possibly the worst I have ever seen in a game of AFL football. They were disgraceful.

Adam Simpson to get the arse today.
