Re sign our captain now.

What a leader.

Impossible to get another captain who would help the kids develop just by his inspirational acts and overall professionalism that you get from this bloke.

Our kids are showing so much talent so early  in their career and no one better to learn from but this inspirational captain.

He wont play games like he has in the last month all the time and whether he is there or not when we truely challenge next doesnt matter - this great man has done everything he can for us has given us the best highlights in what has been a generally unsuccessful period but he must play out his days with us.

Honour this bloke for what he has done for us show with an extension - must finish his amazing career with us.

Amazing what happens when its not all left to him and he is surrounded by hard tackling fleet footed young players that are providing raw energy and sped - the bloke brownlow odds are coming in each week.
100% agree.

The young ones love him too, they were all over him at the end of the game, Jagga did his big cuddle again, Billy and Flynn seem
To always be around him.

And best of all after some
Of the crap he cops, he has never once become a bitter ant about it. Absolutely love him.
And an extension now to finish his career with us would be sweet news.

Half time
We've probably forgotten this was on.
I've only just picked it up.
Geelong lead by 11 points
O Keefe just missed running in from about five yards out

Lord 17
Ben C 16
Chesser 15
the leading possession winners.

Only going on stats and Riley is doing most of the rucking.
Not going so well are Moir 3 disposals and O'Keefe 4 touches.

I'm not aware of any vision, but Hayward said after the game that he was worried because he thought it looked skinny. Also, if you notice the goal umpire runs quickly to his right as the ball sails through the goals, so i don't think it was right through the middle.
Yeah, just left of centre, but the banana kicks can be deceptive if they curl a lot, technically they should go through towards the curl side of center which means the error is all inside the goal opening. For the same reason golfers play with a fade or draw, to eliminate the error to one side or the other. If a banana from in front curls and goes through the middle you've probably started it outside the goal face and if it didn't curl you'd miss.
