Review Cats cloud out Suns by 60 points

[iameviljez]

You're correct that he's not a good contested player, which maybe suited him better with our old gamestyle with fewer contests. It'd be great to see him just be 20% more physical and willing to hit contests, but you can't hope for too much with blokes as light as him.

I agree that he could be more physical, but I don't think there's any benefit to that. He doesn't have the size to move AFL players off the footy.

Where's that dude who doesn't rate Parfitt lol

I reckon Tuohy or Close might be due to be managed.

They all have a week off following our clash with WCE

Unless someone is unavailable due to injury, illness or personal reasons, why would you manage players the week before they get a forced rest anyway...

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Good win, but I do hope on the bye week we work on our set shot goal kicking.

Especially Dangerfield. He’s terrific at snapping goals, poor at set shots

 

[iameviljez]

I hope so because the only side I'm worried about is Collingwood.

IMO their winning streak has been a freak event - you can't lean on fortune that much. If we lose to Collingwood, we'd have lost to Sydney, Melbourne, Richmond...

 

[Zouz Kitty]

You might want to be careful, Miss Kitty might start getting jealous.

Very happy to share the love for My Boy Miers

Agree we are beyond the rest/manage stage now. They will put forward the best 22 available for this weeks game (not sure WC match ups are dramatically different so will probably get insight into clubs views on those tough choices we have been debating on the board)

The only reason someone misses this week is for injury (Rhys) or genuine niggle/soreness that could benefit from a 2 week specific training block (not sure if we have any of those).

So this week ins and outs are hard given Cegs will come in as ruck (and he probably isn’t in the best 22 finals)…as the only forced change…

In Cegs, Duncan, Smith
Out Stanley, MOC (sub) and I DONT KNOW

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

Is he actually injured?

 

[Munich]

Where's that dude who doesn't rate My Boy Mirers lol

I don't rate him in big finals that's for sure.

 

[cats_09]

Is he actually injured?

I don't think he's necessarily 100%

It may not be an acute, in game injury but rather something they're monitoring & nursing him through for finals

 

[dont stop me meow]

Sydney?

 

[CHAWKTS]

Is he actually injured?

Maybe not. Bit at least it seems like fits into that niggle category. So a couple of weeks (almost 3) getting it right with training rather than game might make sense. And of course getting Cegs another game so he is more ready to come into team in case of emergency.

 

[dont stop me meow]

Of course we won’t! It’ll most likely be at the MCG. Mind you, of all the teams we could justify an actual Home Game in Geelong with, Freo are 1 of maybe 3.
Still. Profoundly unlikely with the construction.

Ahh yeah but tigers, blues, pies and demons all call the MCG home don't they?

I think Atkins gets a rest this week - he's been awesome , freshen him up for the QF

 

[CHAWKTS]

Sydney?

I reckon (with no science) we have sydney covered in melbourne. It is Richmond who if we play them worries me the most. Not because they are better just because it is their last dance and will through caution to the wind.

i know we could argue that sydney and melbourne have better midfield than us but I think the way we are using ours (all getting about 65% game time instead of 85-90%+ for other teams midfleid) has mitigated this issue a bit in terms of fresh legs and sustained intensity.

so i am more comfortable than ever we can beat the good teams - just worry about a wildcard

Nope
MCG home tenants: Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn & Richmond

Marvel home tenants: Essendon, Carlton, North Melbourne, St Kilda & Western Bulldogs

Does he need two weeks for that though?

 

[dont stop me meow]

Nope
MCG home tenants: Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn & Richmond

Oh dang! My bad, wasn't sure about the blues and google gave me a bum steer

 

[Munich]

Nope
MCG home tenants: Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn & Richmond

Marvel home tenants: Essendon, Carlton, North Melbourne, St Kilda & Western Bulldogs

A final against the blues at the G would be full of them though. So it's their home ground for sure.

 

[JohnZ]

Nope
MCG home tenants: Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn & Richmond

Marvel home tenants: Essendon, Carlton, North Melbourne, St Kilda & Western Bulldogs

Essendon and Carlton are joint tenants. Dons played 4 home games and Blues 5 at the G

 

[cats_09]

Oh dang! My bad, wasn't sure about the blues and google gave me a bum steer

I think like most, they use both for home games, but technically their home ground is Marvel

No idea how they worked out those things when the suburban grounds closed

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Zuthrie Rohan I don’t think are going anywhere, both important pieces. Miers seems to be reveling in the linkup chains but is probably not as hot defensively as his slow.. so makes for an interesting one.

O’Connor should be the one on the peripheral now

Miers is in no doubt.

I love Zuth but I think he'll be out barring injuries. Great sub option. MOC out

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Miers criminally underrated on this board

I would say we're just slow to change thinking in response to new information. Hardly Robinson Crusoe there.

The new information is that he's played himself into form the past 3-4 weeks weeks

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No.

Good
