Pre Season SnapShot - Geelong

[HTM]

GEELONG

Medical room: At present, Geelong's rehabilitation group consists of Marcus Drum, Ben Johnson, Jesse Stringer, Steven Motlop, Travis Varcoe, Mitch Brown and Josh Cowan. After suffering a broken leg in 2009 and a dislocated shoulder during the 2010 season, Brown, a highly-rated young forward, is expected to be the first of those players to join in full training when the team returns from its break.

Who's burning: The Cats have been really impressed by the four youngsters - Billie Smedts, Cameron Guthrie, George Horlin-Smith and Jordan Schroder - that they picked up in the NAB AFL Draft. "The draftees seem to get better and better every year," Geelong assistant coach Brenton Sanderson said. "They're just ready to step straight into it." Of the players who were already on the list, Taylor Hunt and Daniel Menzel have had outstanding pre-seasons to date, and both are expected to play plenty of senior footy in 2011.

Draftee watch: Geelong was able to recruit 198cm big man Ryan Bathie outside the draft because he had not been a registered footballer for at least three years. The 23-year-old, who hails from Melton, spent four seasons playing college basketball in Louisiana before returning to Australia where he was on the Melbourne Tigers' NBL roster and played for Kilsyth in the SEABL.

Cats on my radar:
Chapman

2011 will probably be the year i have the least Geelong players.

[MajorLazer]

Looks the same for me, Junk. Might just have either Selwood or Chapman.

[MTTY]

Chapman
Bartel
Selwood
Duncan
Menzel
Hunt
Mitch W Brown
Kelly

[Knowall]

Cats in my consideration Kelly, Bartel, Selwood and maybe T.Hunt, menzel, duncan see how they go pre-season theyre decent players but just need game time.

Does it seem like Mitch Brown looks to be getting his body right.  So he may be a chance to crack into there side?

[BoredSaint]

looking at menzel and selwood..
probs not chapman cause he burnt me bad late in the season..

[bomberboy0618]

[Samm79]

[dylsta05]

Same for me but Kelly for Enright. He seems to have dropped off after an up and down season last year at times, Corey for unique.

[Maca24]

Cats im considering.
Kelly, chappy, bartel.

[Torress]

he is inconsistent but what do we think of stevie J?? he aint got that bad of an engine could be due for some midfield time now with gazza gone?

but chappy i can lock, not sure what else

Johnson is good but very inconsistent as you said. He could get more midfield time but you`d think Chappy, Varcoe and others would get more mid time than him.
