No Selwood no Geelong wins in the tight games.

Geelong will win plenty of games but Selwood won / saved so many tight games for the cats over 16 seasons.

Extremely hard player to replace.
His longevity,his consistency.Forcing contests around the footy
Geelongs midfield been split open first two games without Joel.

 

[philthy05]

Oh so it turns out Guthrie is not the star midfielder cats fans have made him out to be.



He’s Dbj if you played him in the midfield, but worse.


A bloke who works around the ground and gets the ball, and then you wish he hadn’t gotten the ball.

Ban stands

As it was always going to.

Crows sending their high powered silk in to argue legalise on every aspect of the charge two nights running was showboating.

Even if you win the arguments you will never win the case and the 'my KC is better than your KC' stuff is playing straight into the AFL honey trap.

Because unless you are from Melbourne where everyone knows where everyone else's bodies are buried in the AFL world, you ain't got a chance in hell.

The rules are just there to make it look like there's a level playing field. And getting high powered lawyers to argue footy tribunal cases, as if the rules of the game are legislation and decisions of past tribunals serve as precedent, gives the farce of AFL adjudication a credibility it doesn't deserve.

Finding that I hate Geelong a lot less, is it the Carlton reach arounds from the media, is it no Selwood? Bit of both I reckon

I think it's because they've made Dangerfield captain, and that we all know exactly poor a decision that will end up being.

 

[VineValerian]

Voss carrying on a bit for a minor round game.

Raised fist salute to the crowd, beaming like he'd won X-Lotto.

Players whooping it up and celebrating like it was a GF.

Fast forward to Round 23?????

 

[Doctor Feel]

They are appearing to be on the right track, let the baby have its bottle.

 

[Grave Danger]

Carlton have 5 very winnable games coming up - the hype could be at fever pitch by the end of April.

 

[dirty2]

is Carlton good now?

 

[Doctor Feel]

is Carlton good now?

If they are, we need to sack hinkley. If they are shit, we should also sack hinkley.

Didn’t think it was a great game of footy at all. Neither team looked impressive.

Nice to see this for Geelong for once.

[Expat power]

Suddenly our draw doesn’t look so bad playing Geelong twice

If Stewart, Mitch Duncan, Jack Henry, Jake Kolodjashni, Sam Menegola play and Cameron, DeKoning and Hawkins don’t play injured they’re a completely different Geelong.

 

[Expat power]

Ratugolea is a poor man's Aliir.

A very poor man's Aliir.

Do not want.

Agree, but I reckon he could have worked well with Alir. Is he a poor man’s Jonas?

 

[TeeKray]

Geelong will be fine. They're without Stewart, Duncan and a bunch of other decent players and still only narrowly went down to Collingwood and Carlton, who will both finish top 6 IMO.

Their next 3 are SUNS, Hawks and Eagles so they'll go 3-2. Then they've got 9 of their last 18 at GMHBA. They'll still get to 15 wins minimum.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Don't cry for Geelong, their next 5 games are:
Gold Coast
Hawthorn
West Coast
Sydney (in Geelong)
Essendon
Adelaide

Win the premiership and then get 6 of their first 8 games against non-finalists to start their year off. I'd like to say unbelievable but the sad thing is it doesn't surprise me at all anymore. I hope they **** up this dream fixture they've been given and fall in a heap

But I don't want them to be fine TeeKray

How the hell do the reigning premier's get such a soft draw.

Suns, Hawks, Eagles, Sydney, Essendon, Adelaide

Basically all the bottom sides from last year except Sydney, and they draw Sydney at home.

They'll be 6-2 in a heartbeat.
