I said that. Michael Clark you dummy.Didn't someone say that Clark had announced his retirement? ??? Last night ??? Game Day thread ??? Or was I affected by beer goggles?
Thanks for that, Jimmy. Much appreciated. A bit disappointing right across the board, by the sounds of things, rather than us just not finishing well, etc.Saw the first half and parts of the third quarter.
The three players who stood out for me before half time were Gore, Cunico and Bates.
Gore seemed to find the ball pretty easily and I thought he used it better than most out there.
Cunico and Bates both found space and took a few uncontested marks helping to set up some (rare) movements forward. Both lacked polish and decision making at times.
Was watching from the forward pocket so didn't get a great view on some of the contested stuff in the middle. Didn't think Jansen did a lot but his stats were quite good.
Vardy was well beaten - was involved in a lot of 1 on 2 contests though. He went to ground in marking contests a lot which was disappointing. Looked a fair way off AFL football even allowing for the testing conditions.
Menzel played most of the first half as a very deep forward. Didn't get a lot of opportunities but didn't really win any contests. Looked better up the ground and almost solely created one of the goals.
Cowan was pretty solid but not outstanding.

Surely JJ isn't far away, if not this week then maybe next..? Been consistent this season, (from stats, if not actual visual), tho the visual from limited views is impressive.@GeelongVFL: Tackles: Sheringham 7, Rees 6, Jansen 5, Smedts 4
Mitch Clark - no 'e' so I thought MitchI said that. Michael Clarke you dummy.

Just hard to see who comes out from a team that recently beat finals contenders *shrugs*
I think last year's draft is looking much better than other recent efforts. Gregson looks a lock, Cockatoo has a lot of flaws still but looks a very special talent, and both Gore and Cunico have had a real impact at the lower level.
We needed a good draft and I think we might have had one.
This Gore bloke needs a run in the AFL side. He has done enough (and come back well from injury to boot).
I am certain he would provide more value than Cockatoo or Stokes ATM.
I'm awake 'cos I'm scoffing the end of a bag of chipsWhy are we still awake I don't even know...
But regarding VFL I say Stokesy should be in the VFL the rest of the year, I'd rather GHS get a full game over him, and also would prefer Gore to get some time in the seniors even if it is only sub.

Why are YOU awake? It's almost time for you to get out of bed!
I'd love to see Gore get a run- he deserved a run early in the season before he went down. Would be great to see him have one now.
Goodnight! Get to bed. I'm off now, too![]()
Haha she's gone back to Canada for a holiday, lucky her! Wasn't much to report, pretty ordinary outing by the boys, though at least everyone got through all right. Ground was pretty soft, & that combined with the wind didn't lead for great conditions for high scoring football.Any updates in game much appreciated….
Take that Cannuk with you!
