Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

6-12 months, poor bugger

Isn’t that if you snap it whereas this is a ruptured I thought which is a bit less but still most of the season.

Is Todd going to be missed much tho?

A rupture means a complete tear I think

Think you might be correct so probably the season.

Think you might be correct so probably the season.

It's apparently one of the trickier surgeries too, which is why the return times are so varied.

I remember reading a quote from one surgeon describing it as like trying to sew two wet mop heads together

 

[Cromulant]

Don't forget about Jack Whitlock, he coud easily be their 2nd Forward great pair of hands too

Not this early

 

[1970crow]

Nope. I don't think Jeremy Cameron offsets Geelong's poor midfield.

I think anyone claiming Geelong's 2024 finals winning team is better than (or equivalent to) Melbourne's 2022-2023 finals losing team, in player quality, is being disingenuous.

I tjoght Geelong had assembled the best list ever by using the Costa living allowance to cheat the cap?

 

[1970crow]

Don’t you guys know how to let an argument go?

Once they've finished my course on how to avoid being infracted, they can do your course on how to avoid arguments.

Correct

At draft day he looked like he needed 2 years in a gym

 

[StickerMan]

Remember a couple of years back the Power faithful claimed that Marshall was twice the footballer as the Fog?

Good times...

It's the sequel to Tex is an inferior player to Dixon.

Couple of guys at work saying it’s the best news they have heard all week. Harsh from Port supporters.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I think they'll miss Marshall with Dixon out.

 

[GROTTO]

More heat and pressure on Luko to perform with Marshall out.

Injuries saving Port Powah from themselves, Marshall is contracted for FIVE more seasons. What were they thinking

The club should've already retired him for his concussions, the guy is cooked.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They turn on their own quickly.

Marshall is a decent player, but his playing career was under a cloud with all the repeated head knocks.

Hasn't had much luck.

It's harsh and you feel for the guy, but I get the sentiment. There are certainly Crows players where an injury would save us from the coaches making a poor decision

I think they'll miss Marshall with Dixon out.

I doubt it. Dixon was a handbrake on the team last year and Marshall is very unreliable.

It gives Port the freedom to play Georgiades as their main forward (which they already should have been doing), supported by Luko and maybe a guy like Finlayson.

2022 Marshall looked terrific, went backwards in a hurry from there though, maybe related to the concussions, maybe not but either way the decline was significant.

No Dixon and Marshall is unfortunately good for Port, I would've preferred to see both go around for another year.

Bit like how Port supporters would like us to keep playing McHenry and Murphy.

Disagree on Marshall. I rate him. Been unlucky with injuries.

 

[footy4ever]

Whoops forgot Luko.

Georgiades, Lukosius & Lord/Finlayson/Ratugolea.

Actually think Lord goes alright. Think he could be really good for Port. Georgiades needs his body to be right but he's a quality player and should finally get a decent look in with Dixon not getting in everybody's way. Finlayson's been off the boil for pretty clear reasons. He's a way better footballer than he's shown recently, but him and Ratugolea floating around in the forward line as probably third and fourth bananas will stretch defences I reckon. Forward line looks ok IMO.

Not sure Finlayson has been anything more than a flat tracker, and yeah unfortunately for him and his family his priorities are elsewhere.

Ratugolea is garbage.

 

[footy4ever]

Ratugolea is garbage.

Not as 4th in line he's not.

 

[Cromulant]

Not as 4th in line he's not.

Yeah he is, or Geelong wouldn't have trialled him as a defender and then let him go.

Lord probably isn't good enough to play 2nd banana yet either.

Can Georgiades be the number one forward, with nothing much else around him?

192cm - I would have thought he was very stoppable.
