I guess the more west coast score, the better, if its Geel 130-30 WCE then if we lose by say 10 points they'll jump us.

Its always a pleasure to pick apart the stats Philthy and you present when it comes to Marshall.

Against Melbourne Marshall had 3 more SI's. Tick. He had one more disposal. I suppose that was the deliberate out of bounds tap that resulted in a Melbourne goal. Same number of marks. He had one tackle.
For completeness sake, Marshall in a full game against Adelaide in Rnd 8 Marshall had 6 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles and 3 score involvements.
Rat had 7 disposals (more than Todd in the first game against Adelaide), 2 marks i.e. the same number of marks as Todd in either game and 1 score involvement. He had 6 tackles which I doubt Todd has ever had in 1 game ever, certainly not this year. Also more contested possessions than Todd in either game and double Todd's ave for this season.
Admittedly Rat was well held in a game that didn't suit tall forwards. He was worn like a glove and struggled to get into the game and struggled to get clear. He at least laid 6 tackles and got involved in the game in a way Todd never could when he was having a quiet game. Tackles, contested possessions and physical presence.
Clearly inferior? Not so clear. No doubt Todd with double the number of games as a forward has more skill and is more potent when it comes to scoring. However he lacks what Esava has. Physical presence, the ability to win contested ball and contested marking power. Even though that it a breakdown in strategy despite being the norm in football forward entries.
I don't want argue too much about esava v Marshall.Its always a pleasure to pick apart the stats Philthy and you present when it comes to Marshall.

Esava passes the eye test over Marshall this year with ease.I don't want argue too much about esava v Marshall.
But I do think from the eye test Esava creates more and stops intercept marks via his physical ability, which he won't get a stat for.
I'm a Marshall fan but to be fair to Ratugolea I have been impressed with his follow up and tackling when the ball hits the ground. His physicality is superior to Marshall there.
Seems pretty obvious to me that Esava displays smarter forward craft. He leads out in front to smart areas and gives himself a good chance. Shame he can't kick. Todd tries to compete from behind and gives himself no chance.I don't want argue too much about esava v Marshall.

I'm pretty sure McEntee will play for matchup purposes if we got Geelong R1
Makes sense... I imagine the final side won't be known til moments before the game dependant on what we need to do to get 2nd.Hinkley says all 3 emergencies are going to WA.
Potentially, yes. He's done good against Stewart the last 3 games now tagging him out. Although cats may be more ready for that now.
Which makes sense why Narkle isn’t named as an emergency. Needs a full game under his belt then give him the sub role back for finals.Hinkley says all 3 emergencies are going to WA.
