Autopsy Roast & Toast v West Coast Round 8, changes for Geelong

[Rubber Hips]

He had a ripper year last year but this year other than this game he's be down on form.

Let’s hope Shai has clicked and from here on plays like it’s 2022

 

[shaky]

Agree Cotchin's just hard at the ball he is no sniper, never seen him go the man.

I think he did a few of those soft gut punches one year and was part of the reason they cracked down and made it a 1 week suspension for striking.
I’m sure that was probably retaliation for the treatment he was getting though.
He is hardly what I would call dirty or a sniper.
There are definitely those Essendon supporters that don’t like him because he got the Brownlow when Jobe was done for drug cheating.

 

[shaky]

No they understand

I’m sure Wankley would complain about it

 

[LTT]

Why would we play Young forward when he's showing great promise as a key defender?

Because we have multiple players who can play as kpb and only Jack and Sampson Ryan who are even competitive as kpf. Young to his credit will at least always compete

Forward line has the potential to feel like the moon to young. If he plays, he plays his role down back.

 

[LTT]

He kicked straight sure but his goals were due being in the right place at the right time. They either came from the hard work of others or horrendous mistakes from West C.

He was in the right place because he pushed forward. Same with Hopper and Toranto The mids have been playing to defensively IMO

Precisely. Was playing a different role

 

[Triggering Tiger]

So which Cat player is going to take out which Tiger this time?

We had Danger knocking Vlastuin out in the GF

Hawkins pushing Balta square in the back into Soldo, taking him out of footy for 18 months

Stewart absolutely taking Dions head off last year

The Cats have a real habit of injuring our players….

It must have been a gutless king hit just like stewarts last year because the bloke is a complete wuss and here is the proof of it below!

That was after he milked the 50.

True, but I'd rather he has a couple of games in the VFL as a forward first. There's Bauer who could be tried there as well.

 

[Stars align]

I would put Milller on Hawkins and put Young forward. What do we have to lose? If Soldo is not available then bring Biggie in as second ruck.

You want Hawkins to kick 6 play young on him
I think Balta has played okay on Hawkins in the past

…remember when Porkins pushed Balta in the back which caused Soldo to do his knew…what a campaigner

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Id rather punch myself in the balls continuously for 5 hours than watch that............

 

[Lacustrus]

It was Astbury that collided with him the next quarter that gave him concussion. Please find that incident

Cotchin or Astbury? Who caused Shiel's injury?

MRP faces biggest decision in years, with Grand Final spots on the line

if he knocked Tom Stewart into next week in the 1st quarter and received a 4-5 game suspension

I would not hold it against Trent Cotchin if he knocked Tom Stewart into next week in the 1st quarter and received a 4-5 game suspension

m8 if he did that i'd let him hold it against my duodenum

Me neither

Actually it was about 45 seconds before the first quarter siren

Forward line has the potential to feel like the moon to young. If he plays, he plays his role down back.

He was very capable playing in the forward line and in the ruck last year in the reserves

 

[aislegi]

I have a mate who played with and against Richard Lounder in under 17s and under 19s. He was actually quite skilled and mobile for his size and played some great early football for Centrals in the SANFL.
Not saying he would have been a star or anything like that, but his failure to carve out a decent career was all about conditioning, preparation and his lazy attitude.
Remember, these were different times in the AFL/VFL. Players trained three nights a week after work or study. It's not the full-on, full-time commitment it was these days.
The Flea Weightman references some of the issues in his book. Lounder would simply not turn up to training some nights and would always have an excuse, such as 'my car has broken down ... again'.
Apparently one night a club official turned up at his house to see why he hadn't come to training and Lounder was on the couch with a lovely looking lass with dozen or more VB cans on the coffee table.
He wouldn't last four weeks these days in the system, let alone the 15 months he did back then.
Make no mistake, he had ability, but zero application and work rate.

Wow, just wow! So many things I didn’t know. Makes a lot of sense, though, because my recollection was that that period was just about the lowest of the low, for the club, and a career of just four games is a real indictment in that context.

 

[aislegi]

Yeah, from what I recall if he didn't take a mark he was completely useless (apart from knocking out slow witted opposition defenders of course). Really, really slow. I can remember people referring to him as The Tree, such was his mobility.

The limited statistics I can find on his career seem to bear that out because just about all his possessions were from marks

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Payback.
It's payback time for Stewart's gutless hit on Dion.
In an ideal world, Nank would run through Stewart, but Miller has the bulk to do some serious damage.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

They showed the Coleman stats.
Jizza and Pork have kicked something like 50 goals.
Obviously two key players to shut down.

TS tripping over Miller and knocking his head on the ground rendering hisself unconscious...
