Yes, hadn't thought of that, Machiavellian.
Bit tough on the bloke (presumably Blicavs) who misses out on a game, but all's fair...etc.
Anyway, we'll know Saturday morning.
Ask David Clarke about that sort of stuff when he went to the Blues.

Well I tipped they'd retain Blicavs. And he's in the side.
I don't think they'll bring Vardy in. He was less than impressive against the Giants.

Disagree, Blic is a proven performer all year, we know he is robust, fit, resilient and fast. Vardy would be an unreliable option as a ruck, albeit #2, needs a LOT MORE game time to prove his hips don't require him to be rested alternate weeks. I'd be more than comfortable going into a finals series with a FIT Simpson, assisted by an even fitter Blicavs.
Love TV.
But in my wildest dreams I can't see him as sub.
Not the type of game to rack up possessions and do damage.
He's either fit or he isn't.

If it rains it'll make things very interesting.
Varcoe as an emergency intrigues me.....surprise inclusion? Maybe.

Something like....
Parkin still says its one of his few regrets. Promised certain things when he went there. Come GF day stripped and ran out with the team , just to confuse the other side. Came back in and change back into his civies. Dont think DC was overly happy about it.
Actually waiting Meto comment.
Starting is probably better than Sub for iffy players. But just not sure what he would be like with so much time out.

Trav won't play guys. Meto has already struck a trade for him. Gone.
And yet super impressive against the gold coast.....go figure.
Vardy will play at some stage, so will West and so will Macintosh. Going to be interesting who gets nod come finals
All you can say though is the current rucks are there entirely on merit.
Would rather Vardy in for Blicavs 'this is a big boy game' but I yet again admire Chris Scott's methods of sticking with players and giving them confidence.
Varcoe as emergency is playing to the crowd, more a wink at Clarko than a serious contender to play.

When you think of it, if Varcoe is fit and been given the all clear by the doctors, then him coming in as a sub has real merit. He would probably have had only limited game time in the VFL regardless - why not chuck him in the 1's - surely an underdone Varcoe would have more impact as a sub than Murdoch 8/10 times?
Something delicious about the prospect of a Geelong v Hawthorn game with Varcoe and Thyril as the subs too....both come on simultaneously early in the 4th quarter with scores level....!

Because this game doesn't matter as much as Varcoe not getting re-injured first up.
Let him gradually come in through the VFL not first up in a pressure game.

Varcoe has been out too long to come straight in for a game this big. VFL for Trav this week.
There is no way Murdoch should be holding his place, especially in a game like this. Smedts in, Murdoch out.

I seem to remember that King was suspended back then, and didn't play. What about Mumford last year, the first game v Swans. Although I would not really call Mummy a discard. Did Scott Thomson play any senior games with Geelong?

They would want to wrap him in cotton wool for the rest of the year. Do not want another 9 week injury...

Not sure about that. Word has it he has been training really hard recently so the feeling is he's ready to play.
He was never listed, unfortunately.

Tv breaks clear towards to 50, Cyril is about to get him and.....TWANG!!!
I know you're not meant to gain pleasure from other teams players injuries but........
