With Geelong breaking the salary cap rules with J Selwood, does it mean we are the 2022 premiership team?

does anybody know what has happened to No 23 Ned Bowman seems to have vanished from the AFL/VFL team list against Gold Coast
i was really looking forward to seeing him perform !?

He's injured, according to the injury list on the AFL website (quad, 2 to 3 weeks). I have no idea when that happened.

When and where is this from crackedactor?

One fascination for the weekend will be the captaincy.

Last year, Rampe filled the breach but would not be surprised if we moved on, with all respect to the great man.

Rowie had the job against the Gold Coast on the weekend and wouldn’t be surprised if he had it again. A great reward if it happens.

We should invite TheBloods back onto the site to get his views …

I could probably do a pretty close approximation of his views, without inviting him back to the site, if that's any help?

Impossible for Geelong to be charged with breaking the salary cap when they don't have one.

[dejavoodoo44]

Please noooooooo!!!!!

Sure. Although, occasionally I do get slightly tempted to create a sock puppet account, just to increase "engagement".

Its been alleged that between 2012 to 2022 Frank Costa paid Joel Selwood's salary outside the salary cap rules.Still under investigation.

King and Bretton both tip us dropping out of the 8 this year. Keep an eye on them through the season

We were very good last year, except for a couple of games ( I won’t mention the war!) so unless we have a really bad run with injuries, I don’t see what these guys base their opinion on. Have other teams outside the 8 improved that much? I don’t see it. Cox will get the best out of our lads, I’m sure of that.

Yes, the journalists on the AFL site all have us making the eight, although none of them have us making the grand final.

The other relevant thing for us, is that a couple of them have Chad winning the Brownlow.

On the flip side, Matthew Lloyd has tipped us to take the next step and win the flag. He cited our coaching change has come at the perfect time and liked what he's seen from Cox. He also mentioned we were clearly the best team in the H&A last season.

That makes me feel better about the season. Brerton is the worse judge in AFL history. Just check past predictions.
