Not sure if Nick is a member here, but want to thank him for sharing this clip on X

Surely a top 5, if not top 3 highlight of Stewart's career so far, and with game #150 tomorrow night, seems a fitting time to share again

That chase still gives me goosebumps.
The stats will say 1 tackle only but man what a piece of play.

 

[Mr Meow]

I think a few of our older players would make excellent subs

Tuohy, Duncan and Rohan especially

Agree on Tuohy and Rohan for burst players.

Duncan is still one of our best ball winners and users (yes he miskicks the odd one now but he's still all class). We need him from the start.

 

[Mr Meow]

I'll be on the hill for this one

Pray for me

If your name is Billy that would be perfect .

Also don't cheer too loudly in that environment!

 

[D BRIDGE]

We ain’t that good of a team that we can be having players as good as Duncan sitting on the pine whilst being fit.

Not saying he should be the sub every week but every now and again to manage his load

 

[Play it Sam]

I'll be in the seats in front of you

I'll be trying to use the cheer squad as protection

Do you go plane, train or automobile?
I see Paddy weeviled his way into the Captains seat on Virgin.

 

[Mr Meow]

Maybe further down the line but if it got to the stage where he needed a rest I'd rather they just give him the week off. 19 or 20 full games on, 3 or 4 weeks off (plus bye) would be a dream scenario for us.

Whereas Tuohy and Rohan I wouldn't mind at all having multiple turns with the vest.

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

Expecting Dempsey to play like he did last week every week?

Absolutely !

Previously I've done bus from Geelong -> Adelaide -> Geelong, in like 24hra

That's dedicated.

 

[cats_09]

That's dedicated.

It was the Prelim final here - the club organised buses, and had 5 buses make the trip over

Bloody hell. Leaves the midfield a bit thin!

EDIT - Mannagh you would assume plays full game in the midfield.

 

[Hamingja]

I know people don't like Parfitt but with a light weight midfield I would be playing him ahead of Mullin.

 

[Jeff76]

Is it just me that thinks someone other than Mullin could come in? He does nothing for me.

It won't be Mullin.

Mannagh into the 22. Mullin to sub.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Bruhn missing is already hurting.... BUGGER!!

Team selection just dropped.

[D BRIDGE]

So we already put a fork in Parf.
Now we stick another one in Bews.

Hopefully Mullin can get the job done, I think his defence could be solid but he hasn’t developed much of an attacking game yet.

The club clearly believes in him though.

Clark will need to have a solid game whilst this midfield is so thin.

Long break until we play the Dawks, I can understand the conservative approach.

You'd think both Bruhn & Bowes will play by then, so while we look thin through the midfield this week, you can understand playing the long game here.

Mannagh can probably replicate Bruhn's performance for a week, he's got some tricks does Shaun, and he's looked well at home at AFL level everytime he's gotten a shot.

Mullin will end up the sub, and probably comes on with a quarter to go to just run blokes ragged and provide and option.

F*

Yes agree. Shaun to play.
It's a bit unbelievable that Bruhn was sent back out for 3 quarters, and now seems to have aggravated an injury that keeps him out.
Must have been a tight call, but maybe better to have stayed off v STK? Suppose that's fine in hindsight.

 

[catempire]

We ain’t that good of a team that we can be having players as good as Duncan sitting on the pine whilst being fit.

Nor Tuohy or Rohan.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

It's the perfect time for Parfitt to come in at the last minute.
He's had a BIG preseason.
Show me what u have done son.

Good thing don't you think? You've been big on the next generation and the MC not playing favourites, I've been pretty happy with their decisions so far.

Parfitt & Bews are classic examples of the old "If its neck and neck, pick the younger guy" selection policy.

They're never going to be any more than what they are, and the kids are going past them (and quickly) while at this stage the older guys haven't missed a beat.
