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

[Pavlovs Cat]

This game has a "lost at selection" feel about it. Very disappointing. How does Higgins and Dahl earn the gold pass. Real Adelaide Crows stuff this.

I’m not usually one to complain about team selections but I cant for the life of me work out why Narkle has been omitted. Extraordinary decision.

It's easy like Jack Steven last year you don't drop players you bring in from other clubs at Geelong,so the likes of Narkle mis out.

 

[Seeds]

Just disgraceful. Scott will spin some crap to try justify it.

The crap he spun was narkle is just incredibly unlucky!

unlucky!

no he is out cos you and the Mc voted him out. There was no effing luck involved. You made the decision. Scott can’t even own his own decision pretending luck was instead involved.


how the f** does the MC work? They pin the tail on the donkey. roll a dice.

Still think we can get the job done,it will be one of our better sides to lose post bye if not.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Odds on Zuthrie will be the medical sub.

Thats evil because its true.

 

[year of the cat]

Just speculating, but maybe when Narkle/his manager delayed contract talks they indicated a preference to look elsewhere for future contracts, and as a result the club has then preferenced selecting those committed to the club

Yet Scott can’t even look straight when asked about the Collingwood coaching position today. Would be monumental hypocrisy if he’s penalising Narkle for considering his options whilst at the same time considering his own position at GFC

Certainly seems that way.

 

[frggr]

Gotta justify bringing Higgins in, I guess

 

[Moley Russels Wart]

I'm tipping Oconnor a late out
Narkle in.

I like Mark but he's not better at his best than Narkle has been playing. Touhy is the other one who doesnt have a position, shouldn't really be kept on imo

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I was there and you are spot on - we were outcoached/out disciplined on the night

Yeah me too, I was just off forward pocket and you could see him coming a mile away from my seat. Taking a mate who is a Hawks fan was a bad call

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No Narkle? Hah surely not.

Right?

What?

......

*internally screaming*

 

[The Casey Cat]

Gotta justify bringing Higgins in, I guess

####ing hate it. As others said is just like Steven the year before and it's absolutely rotten. Higgins and Dal getting a game over Narkle and even Holmes is pathetic and stupid.

Then on the other side of the coin we play Sav over Stanley where I wish it was right to go with the younger player but it's completely inappropriate after last week.

 

[cats_09]

Esava is the new Zuthrie

I know some say Zuth gets a free ride at times, but not sure he's ever really got this much of a free ride

This last period of 5 games which included a run as the sub, is the first time since 2017 that Zuth has played 5 consecutive games

 

[Munich]

Narkle should be absolutely fuming.

 

[JohnZ]

Not too worried. Why have we lost to Port in the past? Not converting I50s. Narkle doesn't change that fact

C'mon, you'd need the brains of Barrett to contemplate that one. Who the **** would leave
geelong for Collingwood right now?

Somebody with an ego bigger than fat Ed?

Scott would come pretty close.

 

[cats_09]

narkle 71 disposals in his last 6 halves of football.

dalhaus 25 disposals.

Good thing they don't play the same position

 

[Moley Russels Wart]

10000000000% this.

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

Cough, Johanissen, cough cough...

 

[Down at K Park]

Good thing they don't play the same position

Can shuffle the field if necessary.

But imo menegola should be the one in the gun. Hasn’t done much this year.

Tuohy has returned to the backline over the past month or so and that's coincided with him hitting a really good patch of form, so think we'll see him continue in that role

I agree

Not sure if the shoulder/AC injury in round 1 took him some time to get over, but while he's continuing to find the ball with regularity, it doesn't feel like he's impacting matches as he was last year

 

[Generalissimo]

Q is either carrying a niggle of some kind, or he will be a late inclusion.

After I finished melting I figured this is pretty likely.

4 injuries coming in, 2 long term, is too many for a must win game

Sorry to interrupt your melt, but the hypocrisy you describe above is more a Bomber Thompson circa 2010 thing.
