Opinion Changes vs Geelong

[finbarr]

ill just say this now... we are in big big trouble.. make it 2 in 14 games we have won. Amon polec = soft *****.
We are playing the best inside mid side in the comp.. we lose two of our best inside mids.... we bring the small forward and a defender.
Hinkley.... god mode... tell you what though if you want easy money,cat's paying 2.55 i think; load up because where f*-ked

It always amuses me when armchair critics refer to players who, on a weekly basis put their bodies in situations most of us wouldn't, as "soft *****".

We have brought in a defender so Howard can play ruck while not robbing our defence of one of it's key pillars.
We have brought in a small forward so Gray and Wingard can spend more time on ball to counteract the absence of Sam Powell-Pepper.
Geelong are not the best inside midfield team in the comp.

Polec had 12 contested possessions against Essendon for the record. Third highest in the team behind Gray (19) and Wines (13).

Now that is a Thursday melt. Hat's off to you. I like it.

I don’t recall seeing any of his previous posts, but it was enough to get him to the 3rd poster on my ignore list. Polec soft ****?? Maybe a troll account

 

[Pedro59]

Everyone is getting a little carried away with how much they think our inside ball winning is going to be effected because Rockliff is out... he’s barely pushing 60% game time and he’s hit double figures once...

We have Gray. Wines. Ebert. No shortage of contested ball winners. We will be fine.

Polec is actually quite good in tight too...
And Boak..

fair enough soft ***** was harsh, i would say they are heavily outside players, as such i believe getting the pill will be an issue. would have had atley in.

Gray would be one of the competitions most elite players in traffic.

Polec's goal in the dying seconds of the Freo Semi was simultaneously one of the most hardest, poised and skilful things I've seen.

If there's any severe knock on him it's his lack of defensive consistency.

But as others have said, he absolutely knows how to win his own ball.

Good thing Polec was the only one on the goal line defending vs Brisbane at the death.

Who knows if this website would have survived the possible outcome if Polec was lollygagging on the wing somewhere.

That goal was a thing of beauty. End result was 3 Freo players mesmerised and falling over, and the ball sailing through the goals.

You ignore someone on one post? Where is the fun in that.

Quality use of "lollygagging" there.

The biggest knock on him is he has a face that always looks like whatever he dropped is just about to kick in

 

[Tibbs]

Billy should be playing... Full stop! But we all knew that was'nt going to happen. Quit the Neade bashing people, it's resume! He has been it great form in the Maggies. Amon on the other hand? That's another story.

Hombsch looks like he is in the same form as his early years ... Good inclusion. So for what it's worth, I am happy with the two ins, not happy with Amon getting another undeserved game, and not happy we haven't got the balls to give Frampton a go.

And then wheeled away celebrating like he'd scored for England at Euro 96

Life's too short. I could go to Facebook or watch ch7 news if I want to waste my time getting angry with ignorant dickheads

 

[PJ Power]

Rockliff out is a forced change that does us a significant favour.

IT'S COMING HOME, IT'S COMING HOME

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Neade actually makes the forward line more mobile whether he touches it or not

Time to read some melts. What page should I start at?

For once a forced change really does help our team. Doesn't happen often.

Hopefully once Rocky is fit, our footy department uses their brains, then he come in through the Magpies first.

Ken Hinkley thread, changes thread, Geelong AO thread.

Actually it's been quite measured.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Seems like I am one of few that are happy about these changes. Both make sense. Would had like to seen SPP, but probably right the distraction probably would had impacted on his game.
Happy with Hombsch have been impressed with his magpies performances
Neade for rocky makes sense as well considering rocky was playing mostly forward

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Thursday's aren't the same anymore. Mellow melts is the new full melts.

Give it a few more weeks, it's bubbling away nicely.
