God dammit Brandan. I told you to stop hanging out with Clayton Oliver!!Parfitt missed the VFL with "hamstring awareness"(?) - so not sure he's really an option this week
God dammit Brandan. I told you to stop hanging out with Clayton Oliver!!
Wishful thinking to get 1 dropped. Would take an act of god for both to get dropped.I know Tuohy isn't the most popular player around these parts, but why do people think that both/either Tuohy & Duncan are going to be managed/omitted/delisted ahead of Saturday?
Both have just come off their late season break and with another break in 3 weeks, not sure the MC is going to unnecessarily rest them again this week
Patrick "Almost-done-field" picked up 10 coaches votes on the weekend. Did you see that?Freo had a terrible game plan. Missing Darcy and Treacy probably played into that. Treacy is a weapon. When I saw those two outs, and they are massive outs, I thought we should win. Freo totally dominated in terms of disposal numbers and marks but they were not effective going forward. Geelong's pressure was impressive, haven't seen that for a while. If we bring that pressure against St Kilda we should win.
Hardie would be the stiffest bloke in the world for Clark to come in ahead of him... and it very well may happen.
Under the roof suits us ok I think. Moving the ball cleanly and quickly across the ground in predictable conditions opens up the forwardline.Don't know if it is imagination, but we seem to play larger grounds better that smaller ones these days. So playing at Marvel is a bit of a worry.
Marvel is the same width as Perth and 5m shorter. Should be fineDon't know if it is imagination, but we seem to play larger grounds better that smaller ones these days. So playing at Marvel is a bit of a worry.
I'm sorry but it's almost certainly neverWith Tanner Brhun to miss its now or never for Mitch Hardie. I am thinking he gets his chance.
Love that to happen but that ship has sailed. We’re managing to get some wins with some really poor efforts from some of our midfield but can’t see them changing that now.With Tanner Brhun to miss its now or never for Mitch Hardie. I am thinking he gets his chance.
He broke a hand v the Dogs in 2022Yeah, not sure it's anything like that
Following the clash with the Bulldogs in which he was subbed out, it was reported he had broken his hand - he played VFL against North but had his second lowest disposal count for the season
Can't remember where the hamstring issue was suggested, but think it's more likely that he's hand is giving him trouble
No current season stats available

I considered him but to my eye he hasn't made the best of his limited opportunities to date,another big preseason to come and hopefully he can take the next step in 2025.I think Knevitt will be near the top of the list to come in. Had a massive game in the VFL on Saturday with 32 touches and 2 goals.

Mannagh from heaven: Forward playing key role in Cats' charge
Riley Beveridge assesses Shaun Mannagh's impact since the forward's return to the Cats sidewww.afl.com.au
View attachment 2077884
According to Champion Data, Mannagh has rated 'elite' across his last six games for AFL Player Ratings points (14.5 per game), contested possessions (8.2), pressure points (58.8) and tackles (5.8).
In terms of his AFL Player Ratings points – Champion Data's most definitive statistic to measure influence on a game – Mannagh's average of 14.5 rates just fractionally outside the top 20 players across the entire competition within that period.
Champion Data also points out that Mannagh rates 'above average' for disposals (16.2 per game), score assists (1.2), score involvements (5.0) and goals (1.2) since his impressive return to the Geelong side.
Mannagh's campaign has been an interrupted one. After making his AFL debut as a substitute in round one, he then played a full game in round two before being dropped to the VFL where he spent a large portion of his season.
But, despite that, his average of 12.7 AFL Player Ratings points across the entire year still ranks him No.2 among all forwards across the competition. Only Adelaide star Izak Rankine (17.3) rates higher for influence.
It also puts Mannagh clear of All-Australian contenders like Hawthorn's Dylan Moore (12.5), Geelong teammate Tyson Stengle (11.9), Melbourne's Kysaiah Pickett (11.8) and Brisbane's Cam Rayner (11.8) among general forwards.
A large part of Mannagh's influence is sourced through his pressure. Since his return to Cats coach Chris Scott's plans, his 58.8 pressure points per game mixes it with the League's best pressure players.
The extra couple of big body's out there will be advantageous if we decide to run Dangerfield at half rat power over the next couple of weeks to conserve those hammies.I know Tuohy isn't the most popular player around these parts, but why do people think that both/either Tuohy & Duncan are going to be managed/omitted/delisted ahead of Saturday?

I would have considered giving him a run to reward performance during rounds 9-16 when we we're losing. But that ship has sailed now.With Tanner Brhun to miss its now or never for Mitch Hardie. I am thinking he gets his chance.
He broke a hand v the Dogs in 2022
No it wasn’t. They obviously wanted him to work on a few things that are now paying off.Was criminal he wasn't playing during the year.
Was banging on the table for him to get games and his form proves it.
Broken thumb in the 2020 grand final
Broken hand against the Bulldogs in 22
And reportedly broke his hand against them last month
Yeah just wondering if it's the same claw/paw.
Yes pressure acts and tackles are elite….. that’s his base and everything else has flowed from that. Top effort!![]()
