Watching the 2nd Qualifying Final on Friday night I had to lament that Geelong still seem to lack a plan to overcome the frontal pressure tactics that teams like St Kilda & Collingwood use. Now let’s face it Bomber and the coaching staff have known they will be playing the Saints for several weeks and [...]

Is this Gazza’s Last hurrah at Skilled Stadium this week as a Geelong Player?

Most of us are too busy pondering form and injuries for the upcoming finals series to be worried about the coming and goings at the club. But the soap opera that has been Gary Abletts contract negotiations between the Geelong [...]

Mark Blakes future at Geelong seems to be a little shaky after Mark Thompson’s comments in a prematch interview before the game against Sydney last weekend. Bomber was asked by the Channel Ten commentators why Blake had been dropped suggesting it was for a rest when Thompson surprised everyone by saying, “Blakey probably wasn’t in [...]

If there is one thing that this weekends results have underscored is that it appears Geelongs period of dominance is coming to a close. The truth is they have caught us up, and when you see a team like Adelaide begin to employ the tactics of choking down our run from half back successfully, then [...]

Our Sponsored player Travis Varcoe had a terrific match in the Hawk game last weekend and none better was his rundown and tackle of Hawthorn Star Buddy Franklin.

Go Travis!

Geelongs year so far has been very good with 10 wins out of 12 games and a percentage of 155% sitting them nicely on top of the ladder a game clear at this stage. To top this achievement off they have done this with several Premiership and All Australian players out with injuries. The [...]

As the ‘A Team’ lights up the big screen currently I am reminded of that well worn catchphrase, “I love it when a plan comes together!” The Big Footy Geelong Board has sponsored Geelong player Travis Varcoe now for 5 years and we are just so chuffed to see him play so well. The wait [...]

The media has been cranking this issue up recently and everyone seems to have an opinion or someone “who Knows someone” chiming in the endless merry-go-round of Gary Ablett speculation. Gary Ablett is a Champion of the Club and no doubt an elite midfielder in the AFL. The truth is we may not have him [...]

The stage is set for first versus second on a Friday night at the MCG. No one doubts that Collingwood and Geelong are both the form teams of the moment.

Collingwood has been superb in recent weeks even I have to admit that. Although their game plan has not changed much what has seems to [...]

One thing that marks a good club is its depth of players. It’s great to have an A squad that can take on the world and win but if your A team begins to get a few injuries or form slumps then it is more often than not the quality of the B team players [...]

You would think that Geelong fans would still be over the moon with their teams’ hard fought battle to win the 2009 AFL Grandfinal. Yet we have seen some not so minor controversy this off season at the club that has burst the bubble somewhat. Firstly all the chatter about Gary Ablett and the Gold [...]

The endless merry-go-round of rumors and innuendos surrounding the Geelong Football Club at the moment is something to behold. It seems a drug story has journalists frothing at the mouth trying to unravel some sinister club plot to cover up a much wider problem. Recent comments by football commentator Brian Taylor on 3AW calls [...]

It was the last time Collingwood played at what was then called Shell Stadium. The game was Ben Grahams 100th and Tom Harleys second at Geelong. Back in the days when Harley had hair yeah yeah! The last year of that much hated coach Gary Ayres (the mullet monster). Geelong went into the last [...]

I remember back in 2000 I had a seat in the Brownlow Stand at Skilled Stadium and I was fortunate to sit next to an ex-player of Geelong and he was a top bloke to watch the footy with. One moment always comes to my mind when I think of that season. I can’t remember [...]

As the 2010 season slowly creeps closer and closer I am reminded that this year is the last year we will see AFL under its current format. From next year the AFL will begin it’s journey to include two more teams into the fold at the Gold Coast and West Sydney. The Cats have been [...]
