He cops it twice as hard because he is slower. No doubt if he was quick he wouldn't be roasted so much
Rubbish. If he didn't make the same mistakes week in week out he wouldn't be roasted as much.
don't bite catman - cm35 loves woja so much he has to find a way of bringing him up at any cost....even lingy's.
No, it is not rubbish. You know for a fact he cops it harder because he is slower.

Fact? Where does it say that he cops it because he's slower.
I'd quit whilst I was behind empire man. You're tying yourself in knots.
Touche`
Good to see you using the word in the correct context, Catman.
No need to get the dictionary definition. You know it as well as I do.

I'm waiting until our next loss when everyone bags Ling like they were before Saturday nights game. Maybe Stevens just had a bad night?? He has played extremely well for several weeks and was due. I think the decision to put Stevens down forward only helped Geelong too...
From memory, Ling only had 3 more possessions than Stevens anyway and probably made more errors. In a dominating side on the night, is his performance a little overrated??

I think maybe the way Lingy played is what people are getting excited about. He tended to kick a bit longer and even pushed forward to kick a long goal.

No I don't and I think you are kidding yourself if you think he receives criticism purely because he's slow.
Never said purely - it is definitely a reason, though.
I reckon he went back to the style of game that he is best suited to - principally being responsible for shutting a top midfielder down. Hopefully he can do that on Sunday against probably Travis Johnstone. It was also encouraging to see him playing a more positive game, in that he was looking for an option forward rather than back or sideways.
It was only one game - he will need to give us a similar standard game for a few weeks yet before silencing the knockers. He did still make a couple of pretty ordinary clangers that need to be cut out of his game by the way...
I'd like him to stop Bruce. Travis Johnston does not look fit at the moment where as Bruce looks very dangerous.
From memory, Ling has a reasonable record against the Dees.

This is what really gets me more annoyed than anything about Ling's game. The defenders run it out well and he totally ruins the tempo by holding up play, or giving out a hospital handball.
I know that, but think of the other footballers in our team who have these shortcomings, yet are a little quicker and avoid the spotlight.
but this applies to woja as well, our whole team has disposal or skill issues, not just him.
Yep, disposal has never been a Geelong strength. Doesn't mean to can't apply the blowtorch on certain players.
But Wojcinski thus far seems to have turned a corner. Hopefully it continues.
where would that blowtorch end?
i cant think of too many of our players who would be left!!!
