I hope Mykelti can be that stop gap forward until the likes of Faul and Armstrong are ready to steer the ship .

Yep absolutely, should be fine.

Lynch 1 more year.

Lefau until they're ready.

lol, we may have enough key forward who just need games. Whilst we are trying to win games I believe the club is investing in development first and that’s not by having a list clogger taking games off the 18 year olds.

He looks plenty shorter than what he is billed at. Some of his efforts on Friday were shocking.

I worry he’s gonna be a reboot of Tyler Young

He looks more athletic and skilled then young imo

Agree.

With Dow injured, it would be crazy to bring in Prestia before Sonsie. For developmental purposes but also the fact that Dion has missed half the season and hasn't played a full game at VFL yet.

This is just typical, not only of Geelong but of the AFL itself!  Fines mean guilt!  Failure to declare payments is cheating the system! 

As a former bank employee I was expected to recognize that one number is bigger than it should be, that its over the limit - that when people write cheques that over-draw their account we are expected to 'bounce' those cheques.  Its not our problem, its the client's problem!  Its really quite simple, black & white with no wriggle room.

Fining the club is only the beginning, taking something away from them to balance the books is the next step.  When their salary cap is clipped will they still be able to field the same team?

My inner skeptic expects the AFL  to accept Geelong's rubbery accounting.  Pay the fine & it will all go away ...

Give him a month. Decision making most definitely the problem.

he's also short, terrible in the air and not particularly great at the hard stuff.

Can improve upon all of that but he'd wanna do it in the next 12 months

Thankfully he's below 200cm though, wouldn't want to surpass the 'too tall to be a useful key position' limit
