Preview RD 16 Geelong v Essendon Sat Jun 29 730pm @ MCG

[feelinfeline]

At last something to get excited about going to the footy!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Pleased with those ins

I really hope they have 2E as sub and start Knevitt and Dempsey on the wings!! Not confident but hopeful!!

And give Rohan a full game FFS

 

[you pick one]

Essendon going with 2 ruckmen, Goldstein and Draper, probably to ensure they dominate the clearances which they would have anyway. Seems like overkill.

The ruck is one thing both will tower over our defence when resting forward with SDK in the ruck.We'd want to pray for a wet night.

 

[year of the cat]

Nice to see some fresh blood.

Pumped for Humphries and Knevitt - need to play full games.
Big chance for Neale - should be targeted more with Hawk missing - grab your chances and FFS get to as many aerial contests as possible - either clunk them or bring it to ground big fella !

 

[Generalissimo]

O'Connor has had a really good few weeks. I know he only had 9 disposals last week, but he did some really good things. Looking strong too.

My gast was flabbered when Chris Scott had him guarding a back pocket last week, and not even the back pocket the ball was going to.

 

[cats_09]

No mannagh is stupid but predictable given his trade papers are stamped.
Knevitt in is an improvement (he better not be sub) and hopefully he stays in for the year now.
Swapping mullin for humphries is overdue.

But what the hell is tuohy doing staying in when hes cooked?
Equally i dont agree with leaving conway in the vfl when the bombers are playing 2 rucks.

Oconnor and rohan can count themselves lucky.

Or what if it's because they like what they saw from him playing in the midfield in the last quarter last week and want to give him an extended run in that role in the VFL this week - learn more of the systems and structures rather than just throwing him in the deep end in the seniors

Thats what happens when you sulk in the VFL

What’s been happening with Mannagh? Poor attitude? He comes across really well anytime I’ve seen him talk.

You do realise we won centre clearances last week right?

Body language in the VFL last week was terrible, no emotion when kicking goal, nobody went to him to celebrate, thinks he’s cracked the sads

And got absolutely slaughtered at clearances around the ground.

 

[Generalissimo]

Congrats to Lawson Humphries! Well deserved debut.

 

[Lana]

Hope they don't put Knevitt in as the sub.

Those changes should do heaps to free up our ball movement and off the ball work rate.

I'm really excited to see how we go.

-11 isnt really a slaughter, it was 50-39, if it was 50-25 it would be different

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm not.

If North want to be stingy they can stay small.

Yeah I think it's a bit academic because I don't think they'd give that up

 

[winty]

-11 isnt really a slaughter, it was 50-39, if it was 50-25 it would be different

Stoppage clearances were 35-22, and we just shaded them 15-17 in centre clearances, but their clearances were a hell of a lot more damaging than what ours were.

 

[Vdubs]

Previous post mentioned 4 of our first 7 wins occurred with Danger out there. That's 57%. It would be a stretch to draw any conclusions from that.

Stewart was the topic, sorry.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Yeah I think it's a bit academic because I don't think they'd give that up

I agree... because it's well overs for SDK.

That's why I said I'd take it without blinking if offered.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So do we think we can win this??

Yes

Given they didnt play him in the midfield except for the last 10mins i highly doubt it.
