Discussion Thread - Round 2 vs Geelong

[Big Bad Buddy]

Not trolling.
I hope you guys have a crack today.

If you get within 10 goals I will be amazed.

6 changes is massive. Hopefully it has the desired effect on the 16 that kept thier spots. Good luck

If Geelong get under 10 Free kicks i will be amazed

I'm getting nervous and excited .

Wallace on Fox

Says the club focused on the NAB game against Brisbane as a sign that they can do things well.
Referred to the article today that said those who want to compete will get games. Spoke about Tambling missing out due to Hamstring tightness (not a tear)
Asked about King tagging Ablett, very coy.
Asked about Couins, says he should be back by round 4, more like 5.
Says we only laid 2 less tackles than Geelong last week. Says it was more worrying that we turned the ball over.
Hinted that a number of changes will be made to our starting line up with youngsters likely to start up forward.
Says that he knows Lids will be in for a tough game against Ling, hopes he can overcome this and have an impact.

TW just said King will likely lineup on Ablett when he goes forward so I assume Jackson or Polo to take him in the middle. On another note, love today's strip.

 

[magic_johnson!]

any1 got a pic of the strip?
listenin to krock from japan and they mentioned it being all white with a couple of cm`s of black.

how does yellow and black clash with blue and white?

Young key forward Mitch Brown was the unlucky player.

For those who aren't watching on Fox, seems fairly windy down at Geelong today with the breeze blowing straight down the ground towards the left of screen. Would be nice to get first use of it and put some scoreboard pressure on them.

Feel sorry for him ,

 

[Barnzy]

RT Mitchell Brown wasnt listed as playing :S, So what happens now. Do geelong = get another player or, I'm totally confused at the moment .

No they don't it was just one of their VFL players who is a good prospect so it's unlucky for him.

Feeling more nervous for the boys than I thought I would be. Feel like if we can come out and get on top early anything could happen but unlikely we could run with them for the full 4 quarters. Also hope we are competitive as a big smashing could absolutely dent the first gamers confidence which can be a thing that takes some time to overcome.

No Polo it seems...

 

[coke_zero]

bloody hell i turned down plans so i could watch this game and now my brother has raided the lounge room with his mates.

 

[Barnzy]

No Polo it seems...

What makes you say that? He's playing...

 

[_RT_]

Polo playing and we're kicking with the wind in the first quarter. Time to step up to the plate boys and earn some respect back.

 

[Danog]

NVM, just saw Polo.

 

[Toadvine]

travis tuck plays for us according to FOX.

Jack Hawkins playing for Geelong apparently according to commentators. Haha King just whacked Ablett, calm down son.

 

[one eyedtiger]

Rance on Rooke.
Polo on Gamble

 

[Barnzy]

Schulz, no awareness.. should of cost us a goal but Geelong can't kick for goal.

 

[_RT_]

A good sign Rooke missing from 15m out almost directly in front, which is followed up by us turning it over on the kick out.

 

[one eyedtiger]

Goal Foley!!

 

[Barnzy]

Umpries are trigger happy for Geelong early.

 

[one eyedtiger]

Moore misses a sitter

 

[_RT_]

Where is the 50 for Rance being tackled after a mark?

 

[Barnzy]

Geelong look like they're going at half pace to be honest.
