Absolutely. Considering we had to cut Bundy and move on, this deal has ended up being an absolute triumph for us. 120+ games already in the hoops. And a premiership ruck now as well.has delivered in spades
Gary Rohan about to Tonya Harding Rhys in the KP carpark lmaoAt his best and when “on song” he is elite. Until mid/late 2022 we only saw this form sporadically, IMO.
At the team presentation post GF Chris Scott admitted he has his favourites and Rhys is one of them
Not meaning to take anything away from the admiration for either player, but I think J Selwood has changed forever the type which we should now consider a "classical" Geelong footballer. Humble, hard-working, selfless, uncompromising..I think Rhys is like JC, a classical Geelong Footballer. Highly skilled, very entertaining, lovable, easy-going superficially, sometimes goes missing, but very glad they are our players.

Really? He might be flawed, but he helped get us to a premiershipA flag can really make people forget.
Yes, he contributed to the flag and played his role last season.Really? He might be flawed, but he helped get us to a premiership

Imho, He is a no-brainer for best 22; just a matter of fitness and lack of injury. He is the best we have in that position, and is finally fresh and fit.Biggest knock on Stanley has been a lack of physicality in comparison to his strength- He went in hard all the way through the finals. If he keeps doing that gonna be tough to dislodge him from the best 22 this year.

The eye's still shut, but from these photos & videos, you can see what gives Geelong an edge for those wanting a tree change during their careers
That's his farm on the outskirts of Geelong. Mount Moriac in the background so he's not far from Hawkins, who also posts and often has same outlook in the background. Jezza not far from there on a property at Freshwater Creek. They're all around a 20-25 min drive to GMHBA. Not many clubs can sell that to players ............ Surfcoast / Torquay also home to a fair chunk of players about the same distance from the club.Where is that?

Yeah saw that. Wasn't the comment attributed to the angry little man Clarkson?I had to laugh yesterday when they were talking about Tasmania ...... and one comment said Geelong had an unfair advantage being so close to rural yet basically a big city and not far from Melb. The observation was Tassy could be the same.
I thought much of the same and I suspect they’ll mimic the same sort of recruitment with the senior players seeking that lifestyleI had to laugh yesterday when they were talking about Tasmania ...... and one comment said Geelong had an unfair advantage being so close to rural yet basically a big city and not far from Melb.

I think he's on the right path actually, and there will be a reasonable attraction for players to play and train at a world class stadium, and be away from the spotlight of Victoria, or even Sydney and Perth for that matter. It won't appeal to everyone, but it will be a factor for some.
All of that shouldn't be confused with what's happened on the Gold Coast. it was never set up properly from the start and was doomed for failure. I think Chris Scott spoke pretty well about that yesterday in his press conference. But was very careful with the language he used. Unlike the bogan Sicily from Melton.
Plus the locals much like Geelong will look after the players very well while giving them privacyI was just out on a short drive this morning, around the Bellarine Peninsula and when you get that little bit out from the built up residential to the more rural area, I was thinking exactly of the above and of Rhys's post
Geelong may have a slight advantage over Tasmania/Hobart in that we have a few more guys drafted from the region who may be more open or looking to return to the region earlier in their careers - as we saw with Bruhn & O. Henry.
And while I don't doubt there's a number of players that would have a similar mindset to Sicily & that Tasmania would be a bit too quiet for them, especially from say the younger guys who want the experience of the big city lifestyle.
I also have no doubt there's a number that wouldn't mind a quieter lifestyle out of football, the opportunity to live not far from where they work but also in seemingly another world just a 20 minutes drive away - whether it's those that have moved on from wanting the big city scene, to those who were never into it, or those looking to settle down, family & considering what life after footy will look like
I'd give Tassie a better chance of recruiting players than either GC or GWS
they need to put together an offseason rodeo out thereThat's his farm on the outskirts of Geelong.
