The Landkreuzer

It has been another long winter in Victoria this year. The flu has once again hit people hard and now it has put a stop to race meetings Australia wide with the Equine Flu getting past quarantine.

At first it looked like pot luck but when watching the replay you will notice he takes a quick look over his shoulder before kicking the ball. Well done to Mooney on this fantastic piece of play this is just one of the reasons why Geelong are so good this season. [Read more]

The Priority Pick Debate

Well, it’s that time of year again. What time you ask? No, not the time when everyone comments how great our season has been thus far. I mean, we only have 13 teams who are a possibility to still make the finals. No, I mean it’s that time of year when we start talking about the dreaded ‘T’ word. ‘Tanking’. [Read more]
