you could be right they covered some ground.
I think so too, but as a Sub, I think it will be okay once the sting is out of the game.
I can see a lot of midfield rotations this week, don't be surprised if Duncan, Tuohy, MOC and Simpson get rotations in there, as they have some experience at it.
Maybe, but remember our bench is almost entirely inside mids who can't really play other positions. We have Dempsey as a potential forward rotation but it's hard to see them pulling Simpson out too much (no Close, no Rohan, no Stengle). MOC probably will. They may use some of these names but 6 as your "main" stoppage midfielders mean anything else will be bit part roles.

Chris Scott Presser Takeaways | Round 9
Chris Scott on… Jhye Clark
I am going to keep my word, and I said I won't talk about Jhye Clark's potential to debut until it's about to happen and it's about to happen so it's great news for our footy club, our supporters. Especially those who have been watching him play in the VFL, they'll be completely across the fact that he's ready to come in and play well for us on a big occasion, Friday night at the MCG against a team we respect very highly.We always have our eyes closely on the up-and-coming Geelong based players at underage level. Unfortunately, a player of Jhye's quality, we often watch them closely and see them disappear early in the draft to other clubs and this is one of the rare situations where one of those players we were coveting actually ended up at our club.
His junior footy showed he's a really competitive inside player, great agility, good ball user, really quite a complete young player.
Chris Scott on… Team Changes
The forced changes with (Patrick) Dangerfield and (Brad) Close, so Clark will come into the 23, Brandan Parfitt will come in as well, which we're excited about.Parf's been a little bit of a victim of the players we've been choosing to play inside. We think his best position is inside for us and he'll spend big minutes in there as well tomorrow night, so talking about (Mitch) Knevitt, Jhye Clark and Max Holmes almost makes Parfitt seem like a veteran, but he's not, he's still early on his journey and a young player and it's great to see him in the team as well.
Chris Scott… Brandan Parfitt
I've loved his attitude and I feel this way about all of our players but he's a hard person not to like, Parf.If you go back to last year, and it's rare that I do this, but I will elaborate on Brandan's situation; in my opinion he was in our A-Grade inside midfield group about the half way mark of last year and had a significant hand injury which meant he missed a lot of football and that coincided with a period where we made some changes to our midfield and some players came back and they started playing really good footy together and it became difficult for him to get back into the position where he was mid-year.
Fortunately, in my mind he found a way into the Grand Final team, had a good pre-season this year and just circumstance has kept him out of the team.
Chris Scott… Patrick Dangerfield
There's a plan that the physical performance team have put together.For my part, and conveying it publicly, I would just emphasise without stepping on our medical teams' toes, it is minor, but we will manage everyone's expectations with that. He will come back into our senior team well and truly after he's ready which sort of mimics what we did with him last year, but it doesn't speak to the severity of the injury.
Probably a little bit similar to Mitch Duncan earlier in the year.
Chris Scott on… Shannon Neale
He had complications from an initial ankle injury.It was one of those situations where the procedure he had wasn't clear cut but once he had it done, the surgeon was very happy he did do it, so it meant a little bit more time on the sidelines than it otherwise would have been the case but has really reduced the likelihood of any recurrence so again with all our young players, we think that's the best approach.
We'd take an extra month or six weeks if we could get them right long term every time, so my understanding is kind of post-bye proposition but starting to move around a lot better.

Geelong has confirmed 2022 draftee Jhye Clark to make his debut against Richmond at the MCG on Friday night.
Clark will be the substitute for the clash, after Chris Scott shared on Thursday that the Geelong Falcons graduate would make his first senior appearance.
Brandan Parfitt will also come into the side after another dominant performance in the VFL, while last week's substitute Ollie Dempsey has been named in the starting line-up.
Patrick Dangerfield will miss with a hamstring strain, while Brad Close will serve his one-match suspension.
First bounce will be at 7.20pm local time at the MCG.
OUT: Patrick Dangerfield (injured), Brad Close (suspended)
DEBUT: Jhye Clark (Queenscliff / Geelong Falcons)

Mullin emergencies
Poor Foster missing out
Gets him some experience of being around the senior team, but that's got to be our weakest emergency list for a long time - we know Clark will debut as the sub, but between all 4 guys they have 1/4 of senior experience... That's telling for where our injuries & unavailability is currently at
Madness wanting people to drop Ceglar because the best teams this year have solid 1st and 2nd rucks, and the teams that get smashed lack those options.
Ceglar in, Blicavs second ruck, leave Esava in defence. Hawkins rucks the f50, let Ceglar sit in the middle of the ground or CHB.
Even though OBrien was the better ruck last week, Ceglar was hardly bad, and got way more of the ball than I expected. Had more clearances than OBrien as well and matched him in a lot of ways. Just not mobility.
But unless Ceglar is against a ruck like Grundy who pushes forward every chance he gets, he won't get punished badly.

Our selected 22 is the same age as the Tigers. With Clark to be the sub at 18 years, our 23 will likely be younger than theirs.
Thats a very experienced line up Rich have got - a hell of alot of 100 plus game players their
Well done to Clark of Geelong - just 18 years of age - to make his debut inthe AFL - a really good effort
Geelong obviously because of injuries and suspensions - but i reckon on paper that is the weakest side Geel have fielded in about 10 years
