Preview Geelong v St Kilda Sat Aug 19 725pm @ Marvel

[Gee Class Loco]

Bewsy was ready to go last week.
Was peeved off he wasn’t selected.
He’s right to go.

 

[Vdubs]

Last time he was in the ruck he was doing it 50/50 with Blicavs and was pretty good.

Maybe we leave Sav on King and tell him to man mark the whole match, he has the leap and athleticism to out gun him. And we rotate SDK and Neale in the ruck.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

 

[you pick one]

SDK on King

Esava on King

I wouldn’t be that excited about Conway being emergency. It had to be him or Foster as back up for another injury to a tall player. There is no other options available. Unless I am forgetting someone.

Theres no chance they are playing a guy off missing almost a month of footy that has only been able to play 2 completed games with significantly managed minutes all year, being emergency means nothing.

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Better throw Stewie up forward

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Can't see us winning with that selected side.

SDK on King

Funny but he clearly hasn’t watched DK this year.

Injuries have been the story of our season from round one and will likely end our season.

To enter a must win game against a team with a very good ruck in Marshall with none of Stanley, Blicavs, Ceglar and Conway fit to play is a disaster.

He is playing vfl for sure. SDK and Neale to share ruck duty in afl.

being emergency is a nice reward for him having to do a lot of rehab this year and sticking at it (and reflecting they have no other tall to put emergency just in case). If we lose however it is not out of question that we see an exciting debut against bulldogs (tough first game against English!)

And Rohan.

With all our unavailable, there is no side we could pick that would be any better-bottom line, agree with you.

There is. Parfitt, Knevitt. We're lacking proper midfielders still.

 

[bulletproof]

Can't see us winning with that selected side.

It is a much stronger side than we had on field for 90% of game time last week.

An effort similar to last week would comfortably win.

Dangerfield and Cameron will have to lead from front again.

I’m expecting SDek to be our main ruck and Sav to take King
Which is scary

I’d worry more about SDK on Marshall more than I would Esava on King.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Marshall (resting), King, uh.....Jack Higgins standing on Dan Butler's shoulders....the list goes on!

Sharman, Owens, Membrey and Phillipou can all take a grab.

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Sharman, Owens, Membrey and Phillipou can all take a grab.

Sure can - but they're not (to my limited knowledge) hugely tall

 

[Shell]

Does anyone know when the GA starts on L3? Like which rows are reserved, then GA?

We'll have to get it out of the middle first and with Neale as the ruckman and an average midfield it'll be tough.

Parfitt/Conway - at least one should have played for O'connor.

Conway should have played at the expense of Neale or even had Neale as sub.

Neale isn't a ruckman.

You are going to throw Conway in off no footy in the last month and like 2 vfl games in 18 months? That's a no.

MOC out for Parfitt is kind of line ball. Won't move the dial for us. If we've lost this game it won't be because we didn't debut an injured kid or bring a mid who has played like trash all season

Yes I am. Sometimes you need to bite the bullet and realise you need to play a Ruckman, which Neale isn't.

Play Neale as sub.

I don't think the ruckman as sub thing has ever really worked.

You can only dance with the shoes you've got.

 

[goyoucatters]

You can only dance with the shoes you've got.

Absolutely. Given the five absolutely essential players who will be missing for us this weekend (Blitz, Guth, Jack, Chucky and Rhys), this team is probably as good as you are likely to get. The marginal calls that could have been embraced to include players like Parfitt, Knevitt or even a surely underdone Conway simply aren't going to have a significant positive influence on the outcome of the game.

It's basically this simple. If our top-liners that are out there actually perform, we'll be winning. If we don't, it will be season over. And no amount of tinkering with the players chosen between 20-23 for this match is going to change that.

 

[No Quarter]

I reckon this is a stamp our authority game, we'll win by about 47pts and then we'll drop the game next week after getting everyones hopes up.

 

[iameviljez]

Bewsy was ready to go last week.
Was peeved off he wasn’t selected.
He’s right to go.

He'd only played one VFL game (I believe on managed minutes), then had a week off. Bluntly put, he's not elite enough to be picked off the back of just that lead-in.
