Preview Geelong v Port Adelaide Rd 13....somewhere...sometime soon...maybe

[Cataholic]

I think you’ll find his “admission he still isn’t 100%” refers to the fact that it will take a few games to be back to the full match fitness only playing an AFL game can bring. More weeks off won’t solve that issue.

True, but he did suggest some lingering problem with 'pushing off' if I recall correctly.

I'd still like him to have another week regardless.

Start picking blokes based on performance rather than reputation.

10000000000% this.

Seems straight forward. Bevo does it. Why can't Scotty?

 

[frggr]

Eddie Betts turns 34 soon, surely watching his progress closely

I reckon he'll be good til 40. Sign him up!

Know any Dogs supporters? They are constantly infuriated by Bevo’s selections.

 

[Frappe]

Hawkins kicked 0.5 last time so even if he kicks 1 goal it will be 100% improvement.

depends on your metric.

Seemingly opposite problems though - Bevo too quick to drop established non-performers, perhaps, Scott too reluctant

If you need a good gee up before a game in Adelaide, I highly recommend this:

I think this MC has another melt in them tonight. Close out? Zuthrie stays in?

Duly delivers. Rhys out

 

[Seeds]

Stanley dropped to keep 4 touches esava in.

narkle.

disgrace.

scott needs to go.

 

[foxdog50]

Based on performances over the past month, would a single person here select Higgins over Narkle?

I agree... Goes to show the coach doesn't have any balls to do that

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Our players back allows Higgins to go back to the role he was actually recruited for, I'd back him to be more useful than Narkle there.

Thats all it really is. As a mid narkle deserves inclusion but with danger back he would go to HFF and they think higgins dahl etc are better in that role. I disagree but i get why theyve done it.

narkle.

disgrace.

scott needs to go.

It's a bloody joke

 

[Cataholic]

How are they persisting with esava?

They're going with his bumbling over Stanley's stumbling

Wow that made me want to jump on a plane and go to Rundle mall it's all the go

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Sav sure as heck better lift. No excuses with lycett out.

 

[calder_daddy]

Esava is the new Zuthrie

 

[BUSTER29]

I'm tipping Oconnor a late out
Narkle in.

Stanley dropped too.

This annoys me more than Narkle getting dropped.

We've had a month of Ratugolea in the ruck and there has been nothing to suggest he's the answer, or that we can win anything with him as our #1 ruck. Rhys came in against Grundy and was more than matching him before Grundy's injury.

Rhys - 16 disposals, 1 goal - 64% TOG

Sav - 4 touches, 1 goal - 73% TOG.

Rhys is our best ruck option, despite his weaknesses we need to play him. We will not win a flag with Sav and Blitz as our two ruck options.
