AFL news items for Geelongfootybarracker in the USA?

Question

Has anyone got any t*t bits of preseason news from any AFL clubs for GFBarracker. Recruits,body damage,mind damage(Ha Ha)coaches stuff,anything of substance and trivia ???

Answer 1

GOOD NEWS.... is that Geelong is not really a religious outfit.    Even though Bobby Davis prayed for 40 years for another flag, Sam Newman's name backward is Mas, 3 Lords ( Alistair,Stewart & Aaron)  played for them, they had Devine intervention, to replace Tommy Hafey as coach,HOWEVER the best secret  is out, Garry Ablett was only named GOD because he is ...Garry Of Drouin.

Answer 2

Well, I'm not sure how much of this you've heard...

Steve Johnson was booked for speeding... he was clocked going 128km/h in a 50km/h zone.  It is unlikely he will be sacked from the club but he could lose his licence for 12 months.

Wayne Carey has been arrested over a domestic dispute and is looking to spend time in jail.

Chris Judd has still got a groin niggle and might miss a few weeks for Carlton.

All Australian defenders Scarlett and Egan will miss preseason matches due to injury.

Just off the top of my head.

Answer 3

Paul Couch's son is playing for the Woodville/West Torrens (Eagles) footy club in the SANFL.
