Preview Faceoff: Round 22 vs Geelong

[Igloo]

Is he on the extended bench? May still not being in the final 22.

Yeah. He's on the bench. We can have hope

thanks vital for posting this early

don't worry about it, just here to help/

 

[doggies ftw]

Markovich? Really? It's harsh but I think its fair to say Austin, Talia and even Roberts (on age) have passed him.

As Igloo said, reasonably happy with the ins but not the outs.

Thanks Vital!

You're welcome Vital!




Nah I'm kidding. Cheers for the early post.

Markovic, Grant, Skinner, DJ, Cooney = FML. That is too much dead weight to keep scores within 150 points.

Why do these shite players that have strung together so many shite games get so much chances.

 

[Zgope1]

For an eye to the future i'd LOVE a big day from Liam Jones. It sounds like they're happier with his defensive efforts and so he's earnt the call up. The sooner this bloke turns the corner the better..But i think my head's in the clouds. it'll be a while

 

[Smiley Boy]

Lol i wish people would give up on Panos he obviously isn't doing enough at VFL so therefore doesn't get picked. The way people blow smoke up his ass here is sickening.

 

[adam10]

Why is Markovic in this team when we have Roughead and Lake?

****ing hope we don't play Roughead forward again.

 

[adam10]

Grant, Smith, Skinner | DJ

Would love Campbell to play to have another big body up there for Jones.

 

[Werewolf]

Escape? In the context of our season a loss of under 100 points can be considered a win!

To be fair, our worst two losses have been 92 and 82 points against the top team.

Within 10 goals would not be such a bad result (though still depressing )

Williamstowns had pretty horrible conditions for key forwards. Panos does very well considering the conditions.
dont be suprised if he has another big finals series for williamstown

Yet Campbell rucked well last week, jones worked really well and took some good pack marks and grant was ne of the better players, who seemed not to be affected by the conditions, even willy listed James wall was just about BOG

Not too many on here blow smoke up his arse. It's more a desire to not die wondering about him. Plenty of guys have got games this year based on pretty average Williamstown form.

Great chance to get a look at this list this year and we have all except 2 players....just not sure what we had to lose.

I suspect Panos is not going anywhere. Neither is Hill in my view. I think that both will be retained on the list and we'll get the opportunity to see them both next year (if not in the last game.)

 

[StringyDog]

My guess on bench would be;

Smith, Grant, Talia SUB Cooney

You would think DJ is surely gone off bench and I think heads would explode at Williamstown if they were left without a ruckman again with Campbell, Scarlett/Mackie will be BOG if Skinner plays as they will be able to run off all day long knowing that Skinner will be too puffed half way through first quarter to catch them.

True, but still sad. We did actually play in three successive PF's only two years ago didn't we? Seems like a very distant memory now.

Perhaps while we're down at Geelong, we can find whatever the hell it is that has allowed them to win three flags and be a premiership contender for nearly a decade now. Just give us a drop of whatever it is please!

And James Podsiadly was far too slow to be an AFL footballer. Sat under our noses for near on a decade at Werribee while we dreamt of having a full-forward to take us that next step.

Then became a premiership player in (possibly) the greatest team of all time.

So you'll excuse us for wanting to find out if this kid can play or not while we have a shocking year. Shithouse players like Markovic, Djerrkura, et al, who are no better than VFL footballers get continual AFL games yet this kid can't.

It's utter bullshit.

Podsiadly is garbage, the most useless player when the ball hits the deck, worse than most rucks. One dimensional obsolete mark and kick forward too that would have struggled to survive in anything other than a dominant Geelong outfit, almost tailor made for the modern age defender to zone and rebound off. I am overly critical of missed opportunities but Podisadely is not one of them, him in any of our 2006-2011 sides would have made us worse.

That is complete and utter garbage.

Come the final quarter of the 2009 Preliminary Final, when one more goal would have put it to bed - and we had an empty forward line with both Gilbee and then Giansiracusa running forward and missing bombs from 40-50 - Pods would have been a MAJOR asset.

come the 2009 final, fisher and gilbert spoils every ball to podsiadly, they carry the ball off whilst pods is left ass on the turf biting the dust as they rebound for a goal each time. We lose by 100+

Well 2 different coaches have had a look at him neither of the 2 have given him a game so i don't get what the massive hype about him on here is.

He hasn't even kicked over 30 goals in a season yet people sook up and whinge on this like he is going to be our forward line saviour who is going to come in and kick 50+ goals a year!

Give it a spell

 

[Smiley Boy]

Wouldn't have thought 2 TIB out of 18 and a 1 goal per game would warrant a senior game.
