Preview Changes v Geelong, Sun 14 April 1:00pm at VicGovFundedKardinia Park [Zurhaar (calf)/Shiels (GS)/KDaws (ankle)/Stevo OUT; Sellers/Big/Laz/Drury IN]

[Devington]

Well to me that says that Sleevo (shit long term form) is out and Drury (great trainer) in.

 

[davefromjerra]

Curtis Taylor is available for selection. Good to know.

 

[DuckYeah]

laugh all you want campaigners. $10 multi nets me over $1000.

Are you ready…

You gotta try and enjoy yaselves, its just a game and its out club we love. Have some fun, we are battlers, always have been. Lets goo

 

[TheKanga]

Last time Geelong had 70 inside 50s to 39

Also they won 20 centre clearances to 4

We were lucky to only lose by 62pts

 

[danj]

Interestingly, the last time we started 0-4 heading into Geelong was 1975 Our Maiden Premiership! We also lost to Carlton in Round 3 and the Fitzroy in Round 4.

Thought it was a crazy coincidence.

$50 on at 500 to 1 thanks for the heads up

 

[Skarrz]

I remember an article from the Shaw era that training starts on time and there’s a big clock or something keeping people accountable

 

[danj]

Should have said turned over 70ish players but its actually 84, 83 not counting Lynch! We've turned over nearly two lists in that time.

So we’re really good at something

 

[Flawed Genius]

Well to me that says that Sleevo (s**t long term form) is out and Drury (great trainer) in.

I know the media team is not told of changes or anything beforehand. But holy Christ alive if we are genuinely considering going SMALLER and we want to bring in Drury and/or RHJ to compete with Henry & Stewart, I might actually begin to lose faith. Larkey might do a Vontae Davis and retire at halftime.

2016 - start cut the 4
2018 - reset over produce and top up
2019 - reset sack Brad
2020 - reset sack Shaw &Hub disaster
2021 - reset Noble & Roos
Early 2022 - reset Lose Roos
Late 2022 - reset Clarko
2023 - Semi reset - lose Clarko have Ratts
2024 - here we are

If we have 24 months of one voice without hitting the f***ing reset button we will be in a much different position to where we are now.

What a f*** horrid period.

Even if the Hawthorn bullshit never happened, Clarko and Viney were always treating last year as a "see what we've got to work with" season with a view to the new gameplan being embedded in 2024.

 

[bennymate]

Throwing the C on Stewart in my SC. Will take 10+ marks for sure.

I think the swap could be managed while also bringing in a tall. Simpkin as the close-to-the-contest winger and one of the underperforming wingers outs. Or something like that. IDK. All I do know is we have both structural issues and underperforming players in roles with less structural importance. Oh and Corr, who is both structural and shit. In fact everything is shit. We're shit. Tip some of these shitters out of the team for the love of god. I'd rather Drury, who busts his arse, than literally the worst version of Stephenson we've ever seen. What's he going to do? Play worse? Hahahahaha.

Please don't play worse.

Our list manager must be awesome

Managers.
One went nutso.
One was Scott's ballwasher.
One was addicted to supercoach.
And then there's Rawlings.

 

[Horizons_00]

I’d prefer if our number 1 priority was learning to kick and handball to a team mate.

Cant do that whilst we are under immense pressure from the opposition

Which you know… we should be doing

And in effect, thats this year

 

[Del191229]

And in effect, thats this year

It most certainly is

 

[DuckYeah]

It most certainly is

Thats why we saw Lazarro play against the top 4 teams and CCJ and Jy in half forward, and Comben in defence etc.

 

[The Unforgiven]

I used to live there yonks ago and the reality is no.

Be prepared to Park and walk 20 minutes

To anyone who has been to Geelong, is there anywhere good or recommended to park near the ground?

Hi,

I agree with the poster above. There is no "go to" spot to park that is better than any other spot. However, there are a few unconventional parks around the Rex Gorell dealership precinct close to Barwon River.

Depending on how early you plan to arrive, you may be able to get a park at South Geelong station. It's about five minutes walk to the ground. That carpark usually fills up pretty quick, though.

Otherwise, I recommend at least trying to park on the eastern or southern side of Kardinia Park. Avoid parking on the western side of Latrobe Tce as it's always super-congested after a match.

Just pretend ya car is broken down, talk to the lovely inbred folk that work at apco, they’ll let ya leave it there

Went last year, got a street park near the South Geelong hospital. About 800m walk to the ground. No limits or fees on a Sunday.

Auctioning off the guernseys for our soon to be record breaking loss at shithole stadium, my my we are ambitious. Depreciating joke about our shitnes aside, we're destined for a loss, maybe save the auction for a game we actually have a chance for IDK.

So much for being ECO, I seem to just be bitter instead of angry lol.

 

[Bowski]

Use our terrible skills to our advantage, make every inside 50 a scrubber along the ground. Can't mark 'em that way!
