Preview Rnd 12 Geelong V Richmond, Sat 1st June 2024, 7:30pm @ KP

[Art Vandelay_]

Tony proving it's 5 o'clock somewhere

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Need to win this Saturday we've got some highly losable games after it.

Sydney SCG
Carlton MCG
Essendon MCG
Hawthorn GMHBA
Collingwood MCG
Bulldogs GMHBA

The way we are playing we would drop most of those games, even the Hawthorn one.

Yeah Hawks have fought their way into the middle order now. Won't play finals but could decide who occupies the lower rungs of the eight.

Also, if Scott Pendlebury plays every game from now until Collingwood play us he'll play his 400th game against us. Bit of a milestone!

Pendlebury is out for at least this weekend with a bicep injury - not sure if they have a timeframe on his return

 

[Chinacats]

With the increased capacity they really need to send down big clubs to the cattery…… maybe the big three Melbourne clubs next season…..
Tommy breaks the record No. of games again this week…. Get it done for the big cat!

 

[year of the cat]

What is it with this board and average footballers? They're adored more than people's own mother's around here.

You haven't met my mother.

[cats_09]

Logical. Well done MC.

I might have gone with another mid, but with Rohan in I wonder if we'll see "The Swarm" of Miers, Close & Stengle pushing up into the midfield at times

 

[foxdog50]

Pathetic changes.

I agree 100% it's

 

[cats_09]

For those unaware, there's also a VFL curtain raiser on Saturday afternoon

Geelong takes on Richmond in a double-header this Saturday at GMHBA Stadium, with first bounce at 3.30pm for the VFL match and 7.30pm for the AFL match.

The event is fully ticketed. General admission members are urged to upgrade to a reserved seat to secure their spot, subject to availability.

The match will also be broadcast on Channel 7 and streamed through Kayo.

I was just wondering how Rohan fitted in.

 

[calder_daddy]

Parfitt, O’Sullivan and Mannagh emergency’s

Maybe let’s get those people so hell bent on getting Hardie a game to focus more on him making that list for a start.

#hardi#hardiehardlyworthacrack

 

[D BRIDGE]

Should have done Hardie a solid and delisted him before the mid-season draft.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Hardie not even an emergency.

Well kudos to match committee for backing in experienced players. I hope they know what they’re doing.

Duncan named as one of the followers ……..can’t see that happening.

Hearing Stewart will spend more time midfield to find some touch and break the heavy tag. That might have cooked Hardies chances?

Definitely the thinest midfield I can remember us ever fielding.

One of MOC, Mullin, or Touhy for sub you'd think

 

[STPer18]

Concern is the midfield again obviously but I assume they'll give Bowes a full game this week to offset the two guys coming out.

 

[Grimoz]

So who the **** is going to extract from the midfield, no Danger, No Clarke, No Parfitt, no ****ing idea!!! We lose this game Scott should seriously consider moving to Brisbane.

 

[cats_09]

One of MOC, Mullin, or Touhy for sub you'd think

Or maybe they go Rohan as sub - if they go that option it could send a clear signal of a forward being a tactical sub should there be no injuries

 

[winty]

Love how Richmond know our midfield are so depleted they can afford to manage Dion Prestia

Clarke hasn't pulled on the hoops for 20 years, so not sure why it'd be a problem now

I'd take that, adds speed and a big body without PFD.

With Holmes in there too there's a bit more of a point of difference.
