He could lift maybe in the foward lihe. He can not ruck. It’s never going to happen in the ruck. Stanley was bloody good last game against Grundy.

Would love to know how the MC justified keeping Menegola in over Narkle

Three talls and Rohan is never going to work
So don’t play him then.

I wonder what Sav's doing that they're liking at the moment. I'm not upset Stanley's out but Fort is stiff again
I like that Sav's getting games but I don't think how they're playing him does him any favours. Weird role where he just takes centre bounces then vibes around across half forward. Even put how he's playing aside, it's not worth having a player in the team to do that as far as I can tell.

And Danger will play 50% up forward too
We did this with Mark Blicavs for two long seasons, why can't Ratugolea have games pumped into him as well?
Narkle has been in the top 3 players at the club since he came back into the team. Only selwood and Stewart could make a case for being better.
there are 22 players picked. He has been top 3.
do not give me positional rubbish. It stinks to high water.

I hope so, if only because it seems a bit risky having two long term injuries coming back into the midfield at the same time.
Think the Stanley call might be a reasonable one. Keep Esava in against Port's second string

Sav isn't a ruckman. He isn't doing much anywhere else either for that matter.
Our ruck is either Stanley or Fort, backed by Blitz.
We persevere with this set-up and it's going to bite us later on imo.

Didn't see that coming.
esava 0 marks, 4 disposals, 8 hitouts and 1 goal.
Stanley 7 marks (most on the end of long kicks), 16 disposals, 15 hitouts and 1 goal from 15 percent less game time then sav.
yeah it’s totally reasonable.

It's true that I didn't "see it" with Blitz until basically his BnF year but there's a simple answer to that and it's his elite running capacity. He didn't look like a footballer to me but he was running kms other players didn't have to. Sav doesn't have that aerobic capacity and he's playing a role that makes us look like we're down a player
Maybe I shouldn't complain because I have advocated for looking at Sav in the ruck because I thought he was the only option who "could" be good enough to win a flag. High risk, high reward. But how they're doing it, it doesn't make sense to me. And off Fort's VFL form this season he's probably the guy who deserves the chance.

Fort against Port's second string would've been better. He's shown form in the VFL and this would've been a good chance to give him a run in the seniors - and give Stanley a rest if that's what they're up to with him. He went ok last week.

Is he doing that at the moment though? I agree in principle but he doesn't seem to be getting to those contests to me. If they're asking him to do it he's not executing
or dalhaus or Higgins or how the f*** does an underdone oconnor get in ahead of him.
Zuthrie is out, melts avoided.
That’s what Stanley did against the pies. Numerous marks from long kicks
We are going to miss those crucial 2½ contested possessions I think.

Will O’connor be tagging?
narkle 71 disposals in his last 6 halves of football.
dalhaus 25 disposals.
dalhaus 25 disposals.
We aren't picking players on output which is disappointing
Geelongs depth is becoming a great problem... we need to be blooding our young players (i.e. clark, narkle, holmes, simpson etc) but this 22 doesn't even include Cam Guthrie and to a lesser extent Gryan Miers. Who would Guthrie and Miers even replace should they be fit next week? (luke dahlhaus is the obvious one but scott seems to have him cemented in no matter what)
