Preview Geelong V Carlton Sat July 29 2017 725 pm @ Etihad

[Cataholic]

Agreed. Stoked with this team. Leave it as is and give it time to gel now. Only ins would be Blics and Menzel when right. Kolo needs to do better but not much to replace him with til Ruggles is right.

Either Kolo or Lonners has to go.

Can't carry two slow guys back there, turning the ball over.

 

[Cataholic]

Of preseason training? Wow he really is slow.

Like those sliding stones in the desert.

No-one actually sees movement, but it occurs. Apparently

Yep too indecisive with the footy and sides can leave them free and manipulate the ball into their hands then press up like hell on everyone else. Lonergan at least good one on one. Most of the time Kolo not good enough there either.

Lonergan has been amazing one on one for many years, but Father Time has taken his toll and once the ball spills it's swept away far too easily now.

Kolo is like a rabbit in the headlights.

 

[cynical]

like these changes, but agree kolo/lonners needs to go

dont know if we will win, carlton are due and that is a lot of changes

 

[Brains Trust66]

Good to see Buzza back in instead of Stanley . Buzza is the future and he needs to be given time to work while Hawk is still playing well .

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Disappeared for weeks and they haven't updated him in the injury reports.

He's hit the nets just in case the pay dispute isn't resolved. He's going for the Premiership player and baggy green double.

I like the changes, and would've also liked to see either Kolo or Lonners go, but perhaps enough changes and should win regardless

 

[BobbyDavisGo]

Motlop - managed? Yeah, Geelong managed to get him off the park!

 

[Grimoz]

Who?
Almost forgotten about GHS, Ruggles and Cowan

Need him fit and firing for trade week

Very raw, but already like the way he hits the packs with abandon and creates an uncertainty for opposition defenders not seen in many years.

He starts clunking a few, and we get a few smalls around his feet picking off the crumbs, and we might just be onto something

 

[Daniel McL]

Just had a quick look at the changes, absolutely love the ins. Excited to see Thurlow again & where we play him, I'm hoping on the wing.

Mostly happy with the outs, Blicavs unfortunate with that injury. Glad we dropped Stanley too so now we can see how the Smith vs Kreuzer battle goes with Buzza as 2nd ruck when Smith needs rest. Plus it gives us more run.

Menzel being rested is fair enough because we obviously want him fit for finals. Sad about it because it's the only Cats game I'm seeing live this year and can't see my man Menz play

Think it'll be a close game, hope we can win, go Cats!

plus he knows how to tackle, unlike stanley and menzel who offer no pressure

 

[BobbyDavisGo]

Note that he is not omitted, but managed

And you believe that? Hope he manages to get onto another list next year, not ours!

 

[Cataholic]

ah, the vigour and enthusiasm of youth.

Menz I understand, but Stanley could offer more, no doubt at all

 

[GeelongFTW]

Geelong players from Launceston-2 (Kolo, Thurlow)
Geelong players from Hobart-0

We must have absolutely stripped Launceston bare.

 

[Vdubs]

Why not?
Stanley was omitted.

 

[GeelongFTW]

We must have absolutely stripped Launceston bare.

I should have been drafted last year but I spent too much time on bigfooty.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Just saw the sides.........some good ins, and some ever better outs.
Call it what you want, but it's great the club finally put their foot down and dropped Motlop!
Buzza has a real chance to grab a spot here and keep Stanley out of the team
No complaints whatsoever.......that is the best side we have available and you can't ask for more than that

 

[Lewy]

Scott said today that Motlop has been carrying an injury and will need to be managed leading up to the finals to get him right.

Was Motlop dropped?

And something tells me there's more to it that 'General soreness' for Menzel.

 

[BotsMaster]

When a mod does it, Daniel McL isn't allowed

Even then they can't get it right!

It's Carlton's home game ffs

 

[Gavin Excell]

Agree with that, Menzel is a defensive liability and Motlop not much better, teams will eat us alive in september if they both play, real concern. Cant just rely on Menzel to kick goals, needs to do more

Agree. They run off him far too easily.
