Preview RD 16 Geelong v Essendon Sat Jun 29 730pm @ MCG

[cats_09]

And official as per the club

 

[cats_09]

I had heard Henry might have a niggle with the hammy.... does it say he was injured?

So glad they put Neale in (and of course Mitch - so deserving)

To be honest the ins are exactly what I hoped for but wasn't confident would get!

No idea from 7

Waiting on the club's team sheet

 

[Hamingja]

Good changes. Humphries and Knevitt both well overdue for a run.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Henry listed out as injured.

 

[patience]

Sooo who is rucking?

 

[CHAWKTS]

I really hope they have 2E as sub and start Knevitt and Dempsey on the wings!! Not confident but hopeful!!

 

[cats_09]

Just don't make Lawson or Mitch the sub

 

[cats_09]

Sooo who is rucking?

SDK

 

[CHAWKTS]

Sooo who is rucking?

SDK with blitz helping.

I like the fact he is getting another shot...

 

[cats_09]

Same

Would have meant last week was useless if he was straight back to FB this week

Let's see what happens and go from there

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Goldstein not playing as per the inferior Scott today.

Brad been learning from brother Chris and has pulled our leg... Goldstein named.
SDK will get creamed.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Those ins are pretty exciting

 

[Baudolino]

Finally Humphries gets a game!!!

Team Selection | Round 16

The Cats have named their team for Saturday night’s clash against Essendon

[calder_daddy]

Just don't make Lawson or Mitch the sub

Sadly I can see it happening and that I’m not here for
Both have deserved a game by now and Knevitt has deserved more games over the past 2 seasons.
Very excited if they both start in the 22

We have asked for change and we got it, albeit a forced change with Hawk but good youth change none the less.

 

[Mr Meow]

Happy with those changes, even if I'd liked to have seen Conway back in.

Henry has been "off" lately anyway, I'm not sure how recent this niggle is but Rohan, Neale, Cameron could be an okay set up.

Happy to see Knevitt get a go even if I hold reservations over him. Ultimately he needs more games in the 1's so we can see.

Delighted for Doritos, obviously.

 

[fpm84]

Brad been learning from brother Chris and has pulled our leg... Goldstein named.
SDK will get creamed.

Here is Brad yesterday, sneaky Scotts.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No mannagh is stupid but predictable given his trade papers are stamped.
Knevitt in is an improvement (he better not be sub) and hopefully he stays in for the year now.
Swapping mullin for humphries is overdue.

But what the hell is tuohy doing staying in when hes cooked?
Equally i dont agree with leaving conway in the vfl when the bombers are playing 2 rucks.

Oconnor and rohan can count themselves lucky.

 

[wcadams88]

Have a great feeling we win this by 40 points

Essendon have had wins and Geelong you would think would be due we aren't that terrible. In for a show here.

 

[PzBlinky]

Great changes - not overkill, but exciting to see Humphries get a run and Mitch was well over-due.

Interesting that Stanley's listed as an emergency and Conway nowhere to be seen. They either seem to prefer him developing in the VFL or using SDK as a more flexible option.

 

[Willo_]

Well better prepare early

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

We have asked for change and we got it, albeit a forced change with Hawk but good youth change none the less.

No idea why they even brought the sub back in.
It’s far better without.

 

[STPer18]

Would like to get more looks at Conway in the AFL but otherwise I like that they've rewarded the young guys who've been playing well all season at VFL level. Give O'Connor the sub vest.

 

[catters_28]

Happy enough with the changes but am wondering why Conway isn't getting another run

 

[Finknottle]

Essendon going with 2 ruckmen, Goldstein and Draper, probably to ensure they dominate the clearances which they would have anyway. Seems like overkill.
