He's not bad for an enigma kicking 65 plus goals. According to you, if he was more consistant to be in the All-Australian side, he would have to kick over 100 goals just to get in. He was way better than Cameron Mooney.
The side is a joke!!!Comment

Buddy and Reiwoldt had brillliant years and at least one of them should have got a start instead of the Geelong love-in they served up.
Makes me hope they get beaten even more this week."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

Couldn't agree more. Brisbane in its Premiership days were better than Geelong currently is and yet they rave about Geelong and include 9 of their team. Interesting observation when you look at Malceski's stats they compare favourably to McLeod's. Bolton definitely should have been included and I would have Buddy before Johnson, on Johnson's performance this year. I reckon they selected the team at the half way mark so anyone that was crap at the start of the year missed out.Comment

We're all biased on here - not point denying it - but Egan's selection ahead of Bolts does rankle a little. Sure, he's been very good on the power forwards but he's also been surrounded by two other players deemed good enough to be AA and another, in Harley, that might have been nominated had he not been injured for part of the season.
Bolton's been almost as effective on those same power forwards and led a defence that conceded the second fewest points in the league. His rebound figures are far superior to Egan's and he hasn't had the luxury of even his normal defensive unit around him (LRT, Crouch, Kennelly) nor a dominant midfield ahead of him.Comment

Talk about 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' though. After more than 40 years, they might win another premiership and you hope they choke. What did you think of people who said similar things about Sydney?"As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

Originally posted by Dr DiabolicalNo, they deserve it because they've had a great year. However, it does seem churlish and petty to hope they choke - no different to people hoping the Swans would choke after 70+ years. Particularly seems petty to barrack for Collingwood for this reason, or to barrack for Port so that the "Melbourne Media" is 'punished'."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

They can put the whole of Geelong into the team for all I care.
Our guys can do with the rest. We've had a pretty full two years.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

My sentiments exactly. Who cares. Just means we have to work harder next year. More players working harder means more wins for the Swans.Comment

I've never liked Geelong except for God, I always enjoy seeing a favourite be cut down to size, I despise the fact the Melbourne media and public have already annointed this Geelong side as the team of the century despite last year demanding Bomber Thompson's head on a platter, and the fact that this would be one of the greatest sporting chokes of all time makes it irresistable to go for the underdog - even if that means supporting Collingwood!Bloods
