Their not just running goals, sprinting while avoiding opponents for over 50m and having the composure to nail the goal is quite a skill and an ability a value it more than just a great kick with little pressure.
I agree with Lucky Lee Lipinski's role of last year will be hard to replace, not only does he make excellent use of his possessions but is a hard running mid who often runs the full length of the field supporting the backs and linking with the next assault. It's going to be interesting How Fly...
I hope Varcoe remains in the side. The crunching tackles he applies are just what are needed in finals and his run and link play into the attacking 50 is just exciting to say the least!
I'm from the Greening generation! ^ Easy to say we inflate his abilities. If you'd seen him play you can't help but idolize the man! have this vision from a game against the Blues where he flies into a pack and he was out the other side in a flash, or beating everyone on the wing outmaking them...
The game is going to be won there, unlike the last game, our best midfielder and Captain wont be ricovering from a viral infection and will be able to play out the game, huge difference if we looking at pieces in the puzzle.
Smith, does have other good traits, good kick, excellent in contested ball situations, and they are the main reasons he is playing in our defence, although I am also disappointed Aish is not in!
^ I like what you wrote but if you want to banter you need to post this on the Tigers board! They would be biting like tiger sharks on a dead whales carcass.
here is a possible 22
FB: Brayden Maynard - Lynden Dunn - Jackson Ramsay
HB: Jeremy Howe - Ben Reid - Josh Smith
C: Will Hoskin-Elliot - Adam Treloar - Steele Sidebottom
HF: Jesse White - Darcy Moore - Chris Mayne
FF: Alex Fasolo - Mason Cox - Jarryd Blair
R: Brodie Grundy - Scott Pendlebury -...
Couldn't agree more with you but If anyone saw Daics Snr. play in the centre I would go as far as saying he was an even better midfielder (before his knee reco) I saw games where no one could lay a hand on him, saw him kick six in a quarter against top of the table side north, all weaving his...
From what I saw on saturday he was given a defensive role. He laid some nice tackles and a few times would have to have done something miraculous to stop Freo getting over the top. Not much ball went through his hands as his stats suggest but didn't see him waste it! You wonder what role the...
BringouttheGimp your up there with Cris Mayne with your defensive talents taking on quite a few of us are admirable. In six weeks time we will see how our forward line works with Mayne defensive qualities to the fore.
We won a premiership on defensive forward pressure! Just look at how we disposed of the cats in the prelim of 2010...... Sure you've got to kick goals but when four or five are kicked from direct result of forward pressure then you realise how important that aspect of the game is! Mayne is a bit...
Nothing in that tackle! Very clean with no checking or pressing Treloar, A classic tackle to lay in training. Smith is a good tackler ! not many people can lay a tackle on Treloar front on ........
Buckley and Co are clearly looking at building a quick mobile forward line not so reliant on two KFP! Thus the recruiting of Mayne, Hoskin Elliot and most importantly Wells. Moore and one of White or Cox will provide the tall targets and will be competing for the high ball coming in, but the...

Thanks for the link to you tube, good quality replay!
just adding to the exciting moments;
2:00:11 Geelong supporters spitting the dummy........... someone should tell them its only a NAB cup game
Not only wash your mouth out! But read Aussie Rules Footy for dummies!
Two different players with different strengths, here we go!
Tooves can play tall or short very few defenders in the league can play that as well as Tooves. Both are agile but for me Tooves looks the better, both are quick...
:) We did get done by The Scum the last time but this time around we have the Q, he will alone be good for more marks down forward and will stretch Jamison and co a lot more. We will miss Beamsy and Ball. J Thomas is a must as he will compete well at stoppages. It's critical that Goldsack...
Totally agree. We missed the Krak last year, our forward strength Cloke and now Lynch needs a specialist crumming forward it's a perfect combination! I would not worry about a best 22 but let selectors choose on a horses for courses week to week basis. I see the future of footy heading down in...
I hope they both loose! But if I had to have a choice, The side I hate twice as much as Essendon!!!
