Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

Ratugolea is garbage.

Not as 4th in line he's not.

 

[Cromulant]

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.

 

[Mostyn]

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 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.

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

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

Hard to stop given his athletic prowess...surely you've seen his speed on the lead and his caability to stand on heads and pretty much a deadeye dick in front of goal.

Yeah, but you have multiple options of who you can defend him with - and without other key forwards to take defensive attention, he's going to have a lot of opposition focus on blocking his leads and muscling into his marking contests.

He's not any good.

Come on, lets not turn him into something that he isn't. He's never going to be one of the most dominate big men in the AFL, he will be a really good solid forward for them - but I would not call him someone who has 'athletic prowess'.

I would so we'll have to agree to disagree I guess.

 

[StonesThrow]

Georgiades plays taller than he is and I agree that he's pretty athletic. Has potential to be a decent main forward or a very good second tall.

[Gtowncrow]

I'm happy to play Port any day with Esava in their team.

Awesome athlete but should have followed his Fijian roots into Rugby.

Great guy though by all reports here.

You mean like Modra was stoppage because he was only 1.88m...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yes.

 

[Gtowncrow]

It never mattered much how tall Modra was. It was the height of the shoulders he was standing on that made him the brilliant spectacle he was.

Hence my comment.

Georgiades may not be Modra, but he is very athletic!

Anyone who doesn't recognise this, clearly hardly watches him play.

Or they aren’t wearing a Crows jumper

And sticky hands that would make Spider-Man proud.

Was there a smith & wesstern involved?

"Georgiades may not be Modra", **** me that's an understatement.

He's good, absolutely. But as an undersized key forward who's an above average athlete, he's going to find it a bit tougher when he's the number one focus of a club's defensive attention.

He already was last for a fair bit of last year.
Did very well without Dixon in their side. 18 goals from 7 games.

Wonder if that means Warner has said no? No way they can afford both without giving up significant cattle.

I guess there's multiple future picks - and maybe it's the year to trade Darcy?

Have they already given their futures with Bolton this year?

Without knowing their salary cap situation, you wouldn't think they can afford both without shipping off a big name or at least a couple of very good players.
