Must admit i'm not up to the player list for Geelong and apart form
the main guys i don't know which is worth how much.
They kinda caught me by surprise, even though last year gave a glimpse
of what coudl be coming, they just arrived on the scene and started
knocking over teams that i thought they shouldn't have..

Yep, but beware, this is what i and many other have thought of the
Pies for the last two years. Well, we did avoid the wooden spoon, but
surely there is more than that to be done ? :)
Only excuse is that the backbone of the team(Buckley) and the guts of
the forwards(Tarrant and A.Rocca) were out for most of the season. I
think Frasier was missing for about 6 games too. However, missing four
players should not break a team as it did. IIRC, we had 4 losses by
over a century. That clearly sucks.

I have no porbs with him, never did, not even before he became the
Pres, but i've been a fan for almost 25 years, one Eddie won't stop me
now.

I didn't realise the Aussie cricket team needed line backers, or did
you lose some bulk ? ;-) Mind you, if you knock over Flintoff and a
couple of their better batsmen, beer is on me. :-)
