Preview Rd 20 Geelong v North Sat July 27 2024 145 pm @ Tassie

[Art Vandelay_]

Sounds like a bunch of Kim Jong Un wannabes around here with the amount of rockets people want to fire at players

I only need one. Aimed at the sun

 

[Cataholic]

Stanley just has to stand up and run with Xerri the best he can. If we want the same thing happening to SDK as happened to his brother, well leave him in the ruck. I certainly don't see that as a positive.

I'm not a fan of SDK in the ruck full stop, and I get your point, but Stanley's ability to run with Xerri is questionable according to eyewitness reports.

 

[frggr]

Maybe Blitz goes with Xerri - but we're going to be undermanned against North's midfield.

Wardlaw, Sheezel and LDU are all weapons

Thankfully Norf does run out of steam in the second half but they will be a handful in the first …hopefully the team doesn’t let them get too far ahead and back their fitness in the second half

Agree Wardlaw and sheezel look the goods but if Dangerfield and Stewart can’t get on top of a 19 and 20 year old then geez we may as way throw in the towel.

Any meat tray that keeps Clohesy is good.

Any meat tray has him out getting banned.

this is the way.

GO Catters

He deserves a full game, particularly if Axe is still sore.

I really liked what I saw from him, even if it did come as fresh legs.

In a week where we should be prioritising effort and accountability after last week's debacle in that area, he deserves at least one full game.

 

[winty]

Out: SDK (rested), Parfitt (dropped), Clohesy (dropped), Duncan (managed), Knevitt (dropped)

IN: Stanley, Bruhn, Atkins, Neale

Going to give North an advantage by playing one less player? You've named 5 outs and only 4 inclusions.

[Vdubs]

Out: SDK (rested), Parfitt -injured, broken hand, Clohesy (dropped), Duncan (managed), Knevitt (dropped)

IN: Stanley, Bruhn, Atkins, Neale

efa.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Has you Murdoch been travelling emergency before? Looks like he got on the plane

Edit; ignore words look pictures

Those pictures are taken at St Mary's oval across the road.

Duncan eluded to the fact that we'll likely be training elsewhere due to the KP surface in his interview.

Ahhhhhhhh I see

 

[Cursed Cat]

Clearly that’s not going to happen, which is my point.

I’m still seething about Jeremy Cameron’s game at the weekend.

Jezza has always got a free pass because he's Jezza, but in reality the bloke needs a rocket, too much laconic laziness of late needs to work alot harder and actually compete when the opposition put a good player on him.

Ah, not just me then ...

Has a touch of Stevie J about him, when things are coming off he is a match-winner, but when he's out of touch some of his efforts and execution for such a talented player can confound.

 

[frggr]

Scotty confirms Tanner is back

Scotty confirms Tanner is back

Need him, especially this weekend.

Don't think it will really matter. Sheezel, LDU, Powell and Scott all dominated in round 5 and we still won by 75pts. Our 23 is much better than theirs.

You could say the same for last week or any of our other losses this year.

We're 15 weeks on and they've got 15 more weeks experience playing with each other under Clarkson (well, minus the weeks he was banned). They're better than they were then and it's at their cheat ground.

 

[Footy Smarts]

They're better than they were then and it's at their cheat ground.

They need a better cheat ground. They're 1-10 from their last 11 and the only win was against a team that is now on a 16 game losing streak away from home.

I have been out of action for a couple of days…is Holmes inj?

In their post match report on Saturday, Krock mentioned that Holmes spent the last 10 minutes of the match on the bench and he was getting a fair bit of treatment on a leg issue

We know he's had hamstring issues in the past, so I'm thinking that if there was a bit of tightness or a reaction that needed a bit of work on night, and if he's not 100% during the week that maybe they'll take a conservative approach this week rather than have him fly to the cold of Tassie

 

[numbwombat]

For the snags:

Out: Parfitt (dropped), Rohan (managed)
In: Neale, Bruhn

I suspect Knevitt goes too but a bit unlucky
