Review JLT #3 - Geelong d Essendon by 22 points

[Cataholic]

Wanna see Cocky play a full game in the middle.
Would like to see Murdoch play as a hit up forward for the whole game just to see how he goes.
Wouldn't mind seeing Bews playing another game forward too.
Piss off the tall CHF options and just try a forward line of Menzel and Murdoch as hit up targets completely out of the way of Hawkins space.
Motlop, Bews crumbing.
Maybe even give GHS a half forward too. See if it could be another option for him. Can kick a goal.

Would be interested to see this too

Stewart Lonergan Taylor

Thurlow Henderson Tuohy

Duncan Menegola Lang

Cockatoo Stanley Motlop

Menzel Hawkins McCarthy

Smith Dangerfield Joel Selwood

Int: Guthrie Blicavs Horlin-Smith Scooter

Emg: Black Mackie Cowan Parfitt ZGuthie Ruggles

This is how I see the lineup for the final practice game v Essendon with the fringe players given time to show if they deserve a place.

I have assumed Kolo is not ready.

I have not heard much, but does anyone have news on McCarthys shoulder?

No. It will go one of two ways:

1. Silence for a few weeks before an Addy journo tweets something like "Luckless McCarthy out for four months" (also a chance someone from BigFooty sees McCarthy in a sling at a renowned shoulder surgeon's office)

2. He plays on Sunday and we can relax

1. Silence for a few weeks before an Addy journo tweets something like "Luckless McCarthy out for four months" (also a chance someone from BigFooty sees McCarthy in a sling at a renowned shoulder surgeon's office)

2. He plays on Sunday and we can relax

3. rest this week - play round 1?

If he doesn't play this week my spidey senses will be off the chart.

3. Steve Hocking says there's no need for surgery.

My spidey senses will break the scale if that occurs.

Well, the good news is that Hocking has said it's a sprained joint and nothing too serious. Or is that bad news in these parts?

off-topic but man was toby Maguire's spiderman spidey sense bloody terrible.

but when you can stop a speeding train...

1. Silence for a few weeks before the club writes an unrelated puff piece and ends the article with "oh btw, McCarthy is out for another 8 weeks with a shoulder."

SH: "...but it's unrelated to his shoulder issue from the Adelaide game."
Journalist: "Is it the same shoulder?"
SH: "Yes."

I'm gonna pencil in another loss this week, I don't expect we'll see more than 75% output form the boys.

Should be an overcast, gloomy day in Bendigo on Sunday.
Much better conditions than running around in the constant heat so that will see the players maintain their energy levels for a lot longer.

Probably hot playing in those t-shirts too.

I'd like to see a bit more progress from Thurlow this week. It's a long patient road but if he's making my supercoach team then he needs to play week one, he hasn't quite cemented that spot for me yet.

He looks underdone. VFL for a few weeks?

It was quite warm down at richmond oval on sunday bobby....by the looks of my sunburnt glow on monday, it was a lil more than warm. Seriously I watched the game in the terraces between the interchange gates, and most of the players had that wincing look every time they came of for a rest or for rotation purposes

The combo of the source being k-rock and the Hocking quote means we will be lucky to see Linc again this year, possibly next

 

[CatRiot]

This might sound silly, but I hope we lose again so that they are fired up for round 1, and also the premiership odds blow out a bit.

They may as well experiment as much as possible with the side, play fringe players, rest the guns.

You're right. It does sound silly.

 

[BotsMaster]

Is this game free entry if you're a member?

 

[Ray Donovan]

Apparently but who knows...

Seems like through the VFL would be the best. No point rushing him through JLT especially with groin issue at 21. If he misses a rd or two of the season we havr plenty of key position cover.

 

[Ray Donovan]

Feels like it won't happen but I'd love to see Motlop dropped. He needs to actually earn his way into the side and based on today Horlin-Smith is ahead of him.

He is a senior player so it could be just working quietly into the season haven't checked his game time. But he hasn't looked very sharp all pre-season to date hasn't moved well. No real impact in games I expected a huge pre season contract year could leave we will see

 

[4quarter_cat]

need to find a small forward as the best two prospects are out for at least half the year

Why what happened to McCarthy?

I don't know. I assume if a player is selected they are ready and if they're not they're not.
