Preview Round 4, 2023: Geelong v Hawthorn, MCG 3:20pm Easter Monday 10th April

[Strapping Young Lad]

Excellent result

100% the Logue bump on Day was a 1 match ban. Just Day is a hard nut, so bounced back up.

Check the comments on the tweets. North nuffies are not happy.

 

[James Buchanan]

All it really deserved when you watch it in normal speed. Slow motion makes it look like he held it back.

Rather he didn't risk it in the future though. Beat them on the scoreboard.

Nah, no doubt that was a bit of a square up for the hit on Day. I'd rather have players who are willing to go into bat for their teammates.

 

[Kuuz]

We should hopefully go into this game with zero pressure.

All on Geelong to perform and rid their rut. It's the youngest side vs the oldest side.

Hopefully we can start strong - exciting game

 

[MasterSamurai]

Arghh, here we go again, another year, another week and coming up against another club under heap of pressure!!!! I hope the boys put them on their arse but , I'd rather WE have access to Harley then THEM! Who knows , maybe they're tanking for the number ONE pick???
Let's ask Damo .

Hawk with cosmetic **** (again)

 

[kenneje]

Really cannot stress enough how much i hate these campaigners.

Hate the Geelong media cartel, hate majority of their players and hate so many of their ****head supporters.

Nothing would feel better than our young mids demolishing them out of the centre and hilariously subjecting them to one of the worst starts by a reigning premier of all time.

It's a big ask because the media cartel will exert pressure and have them fired up.

Wingard in is big.

 

[TassieGrown]

Need to run the cats of there feet, they looked slow all over the ground.

noticed a lot fumbling, thinking if we are close going into the last we can run over the top of them.

Week is a long time in football, 2 weeks ago thinking hope we can be with in 50 points. Big chance now

 

[WWSD]

I think Stephens is more likely to be in the frame for selection come Round 4 or 5.

 

[HedgeFund]

Would it be completely stupid to suggest we kick zero long bombs into forward 50? Just grubber every ball in and make the Cats play a ground game in our foward 50 to negate their intercept game??

Not a silly idea at all.

Keep the ball low / wide for all inside 50 entries. Whether it’s a kick to grass or low chips to short leads it’s got to be the way to go.

Kick around Stewart and make Ratugolea defend one-on-one at ground level

 

[The German Hunter]

Percentage boost game

 

[hawkman]

Welp...This is going to be an exciting match now; go head to head with a team that will be desperate for success.
I suggest we just do whatever Gold Coast did, and if we must kick more than 12 goals to win, so be it!!

Golden opportunity to put a dagger into Geelong's finals aspirations!

We could target Esava and let him do the rest for us.

Reminder to Handbagger fans reading this thread - your club is a pale imitation of ours by almost every conceivable measure.

Hope you made the most of last year's Pandemicship* now your mob of geriatrics are in freefall!

Didn't expect this match to be a 17th vs 18th when the fixture came out.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

Doesn't look good for Jai.

Arms bend that way easily though.
No potential to cause injury

 

[eldorado]

Just watching the replay.

I reckon Meek needs a game in the VFL...

Errr...

I'm not sure on the scientific validity of your comment.

Those muscles have a natural range of movement, seen in jogging, for example... but if they are forced beyond that, injury can easily happen. Particularly as there is no strength in those muscles to resist any external force.

 

[Bugs1977]

Newk fined and free to play against the Cats. Have a read of some of the comments on the Twitter link below. Agree it wasn't a good look but you'd swear he's pulled his arm out of his socket the way some of those galah's are going on

Hilarious , very clever

Surely Lynch and Reeves is worth a good look. Up forward, Lynch would be competitive, put his body on the line & create opportunities. We had no tall forward last week & he'd straighten us up. Oh ... and I reckon Lynch would at least score from a snap shot at the top of the square. That was bizarre.

 

[Howe Amazing]

So is SDK out for Cats?

Didn't seem to be a chicken wing at all to me. I agree if a joint is forced into an unnatural range of motion there's a chance of injury, or at the least discomfort, but there was nothing unnatural about that range of motion. It was a reasonable amount of glenohumeral extension.

The real danger is in the rotation of the joint and there was no real rotation there. This is the trademark Judd example where he's clearly putting force on the shoulder and the elbow to force the shoulder into an unnatural range of motion.



Or in the Selwood example here where he's very nearly got him in a kimura.

Good lord, just read some of the tweets + North board comments on it.

The Logue bump is clear as day. If you elect to bump over picking up the ball, and you hit them high, you get rubbed out. AFL is pretty clear on that these days.

I posted earlier about it.

Nothing Jai did was too bad, until the end, when he raised it up towards the vertical, the rotational stress you mention. That was the only contentious part of it...at least in slo-mo.

I haven't seen it in normal speed, tbh...

Thought he would be a lot more aggressive …. you’re a 110kg ffs you should be smashing them!
