They'll make them play a game of rock em sock em robots to decide who gets the first call up

 

[Johanpetro]

Yes.

And Mullin is a travelling emergency with the AFL squad.

Well if the club agree with previous poster then why wouldn’t they just name him in the team

You'd have to ask the M.C. about that one. But they definitely have form in this area.

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Yes but the last time Blicavs played FB at Opus Oval in Perth was that horror PF walloping defeat to Melb

And his direct opponent Ben Brown apart from absolutely destroying Blicavs , he marked the ball and looked like John Coleman - and Brown has played about 5 good games in his life , and that was probably the pick of them

Please no Blicavs to the backline they will just have to find someone else , and Kolo allways plays tall , alot taller than his actual height

Understand GOB.
Jackson is a real worry though - he is tall with a very good vertical and can have sticky hands on his day.
Good Kolo and JH might be OK but would need us to create rushed entries into our D50 to minimise damage.
Intriguing contest and Longmuir is a very good coach who is probably underrated outside of the West.
Hope we are up to it , Go Catters

cheers I’ll message Scotty now

 

[catempire]

Please do not put this into urban dictionary

I urge a re-think

 

[CatToTheFuture]

That is not what the internet tells me and we need to move on.

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Our best midfielder is also our best defender in the same game. We're spaghetti in the middle and in defense, honestly have no idea how we're even in the 8, Geelong by 77.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

I dont want Mullin as a late in

Right at the present time ( im not suggesting at all that it will allways be like this ) Mullin has got Savs problem , he doesnt understand the game

And this is an absolute must win match for Geel , so you dont want players who have presently got L , plates on

 

[And_ROOS]

If we bring Mullin in we are playing a man down and it sends an absolute shit message to guys in the VFL that your form is irrelevant.

 

[Pollywaffle]

You keep going down this path. I agree with you on most things but not this one. And I say this as someone who has absolutely loved Tuohy's time at Geelong. He's had a great career.

He's had a so-so year bordering on poor. Very hit and miss across the season and within games.

I think you asked the other week why people think he's been any worse than Duncan and besides the eye test, I provided a fairly hefty case for why Duncan (who cops a lot of heat) has been leagues above Tuohy this season just like he was in 2023.

As for the comparison to Bews, well I'm not one of the people who thinks Bews is still in our best 23. O'Connor has been up and down himself but he's the one I'd play in Tuohy's role, with the added bonus of tagging midfielder being in his arsenal. Mullin is still a bit too raw. But we are still doing things like playing Bowes as the sub (I know you don't rate him at all), so who knows. Tuohy is definitely still rated by Scott et al.

Tuohy has looked very ‘rushed’ with ball in hand this year. A sure sign that Father Time is catching up.

Mullin traveling as an emergency doesn't mean he's necessarily first choice as a replacement option

It could simply be that the club feels him traveling with the team is good for his development, and maybe slightly less concerned about him missing a VFL match say compared with Knevitt who they may believe will benefit from the continuity of matches

 

[catters05]

Geez if we could win this one…..

This. Knevitt needs gametime.

Mullin and Bews both travelling when they play the same role I expect means Mullin is over there to visit Perth for the first time and go take in the sights like the historic Gaol.

Maybe he wanted to go see the site of the Catalpa rescue?

 

[CHAWKTS]

Sniffing a late change. And a potential BF melt

Perhaps one of his relatives escaped.

Cameron out

Mullin to play his first game at FF...

Well that would be a melt -down!

I think half right (which based on comments will be enough of a melt)

Dare I ask who's in doubt?

You can (in fact maybe you just did )…but I dare not make a suggestion.

I'm going with Dangerfield or Blicavs with a leg complaint
