VFL VFL 2024 - Geelong & the greater league

[Pure_Ownage]

It has been reported we've offered him a contract - the delay could be whether it's a direct promotion to the senior list this year or a third year on the rookie list

Maybe he is already on the senior list? The club did never announce which one of him or mullin got promoted last year.

I'm sure we've offered him a deal I just think if he hasn't accepted it this late in the year it indicates another club is involved otherwise he surely would have signed it already.

 

[dazbroncos]

He's ooc so he's leaving it late to sign. Could be WB?

Hope he stays - adds grunt and while not a high ceiling you never die wondering about his effort.

Team needs playes like that and after the PF a few could take notice of that style.

GO Catters

Does this reinforce a bit stiff for jeka not to get another year? Understand unlikely to make it in afl but handy depth and seemingly handy vfl player

I expected him to get another year based on skills alone. Not hung up on delisting him either though

To be depth you have to be playable at AFL level,

Is Patrick Hughes a chance of being drafted? A young inside midfielder, I believe.

The decision to move Blicavs to defence late in the year probably didn't help his chances of another contract.

 

[Turbocat]

No

What did it take Atkins… 2 or 3 years of outstanding performance at VFL level to get drafted. Or Stewart? Who knows in the future… my bet is we are more likely to look at the Premiership side for matures..

Some are one and done others take a few

Chalcraft wasn't even looked at. It's a high bar.

I watched a bit of Jeka in the 2's, some of his decision making with ball in hand was truly awful. He was constantly taking super high risk kicks across goals and more often than not, turning it directly over to the opposition for easy shots at goal.

Was a decent mark, and could find the footy, but just made far too many dumb mistakes..

Update on a former Banker

[CatToTheFuture]

Bit of a surprise, didn't think he was that bad. Bit more vfl time he might have convinced a club to give him a second shot

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Will be sad to see him go he was quite good this year. Vfl side will be a bit short of tall timber next year (depending on our afl draft and vfl list choices).

He was a very selfish footballer. I got sick of him blazing away at goals, instead of hitting up a leading teammate.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Lazzaro delisted by North. Former falcon.
Would be looking to VFL list him to bolster our squad.

 

[Hamingja]

I think it will be back to struggle street in the VFL next year with all the raw talls.

The one thing I like about it though is that the club have really thrown the gauntlet down for Clark, Knevitt and Clohesy by clearing out Parfitt and Hardie.

Step up and lead the midfield to bang the door down for an AFL spot.

Who they play in the guts will be interesting including some of our draftees.

We will be recruiting a couple of mature vfl listed mids surely. Hopefully Herbert stays.

A lot of that depends on them choosing us right?

When do the trials for a list spot begin?

If Clark, Knevitt and Clohesy can't absolutely dominate at VFL level next year then they should be moved on.

 

[OzeSparky]

For VFL spots?

Yeah don't the usually invite a heap then create the list from there?
