Game Day Round 3: West Coast v Geelong (let’s christen our new stadium with a win)

[former lurker]

You also missed my point. My original post was responding to a wish by some on here to get rid of the so called excess of tall forwards.
I offered an example and our friend jumped in and attacked the point in isolation.
My example was that because Jakovich and McIntosh didn't end up super star forwards should we have traded them or do what we did and turn them into AA defenders. So I guess you jumped in not realizing the start of the conversation.
And yes I played 13 years as a forward in regional football and I knew how to get the ball and kick the odd goal.
Boy! I sure miss that.

No I didn't miss anything. Not trying to be a smart arse, but as I said, I had to jump in on the point that McIntosh struggled with consistency as a forward. I was simply making the point that consistency is hard to measure as a forward. Playing so many years as a forward you would be well aware of that. Anyway, game day, good luck us.

Excited, want to see Redden stand up with Shuey and break even in the middle, we can do it with Lycett and Naitanui.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

McIntosh late in?

 

[Biggie]

Well thats ****ed that

 

[Biggie]

Lets keep this trend happening

Geelong rank 18th for tackles and forward entries through the first two rounds #AFLEaglesCats

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Well thats ****** that

Put the bloody moz on him now. 1st bounce Naita to Shuey to Darling 35 out straight in front kicks a point....

Won’t argue further but will admit that Jackovich was probably a better example than McIntosh.
Happy we didn’t trade either. We don’t get too many father/son selections.
If my memory serves me correct that McIntosh was our first.

McIntosh late in?

Just kicked a goal for Richmond.

 

[bombard]

To be fair, I've never kicked a point for West Coast. Beat that assholes.

 

[Bouq]

Hutchings is in for Duggan

 

[Biggie]

Hutchings is in for Duggan

 

[bombard]

And with that, Hagdorn is wrong, yet again.

 

[Avalor]

Hutchings is in for Duggan

Makes sense ... more a mid and can tag.

 

[Biggie]

No real ruck for geelong

 

[ArdentEagle]

Hutch will tag GAJ

 

[Biggie]

Nic Nat & Lycett should help nullify the mid Trio Geelong have.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

No real ruck for geelong

Amazing. They are basically playing with three talls, they can't expect to play the Fijian kid and Blicavs in the ruck and survive.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Stanley was barely a ruck to begin with, but no idea who they're throwing in there now

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

No real ruck for geelong

Blizcavs ?

 

[FKASC]

Wow. They’re going small af. I don’t like it. Seems fishy

 

[squashface]

How will we survive without Duggans 12 disposals

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Selwood to tag shuey

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Wow. They’re going small af. I don’t like it. Seems fishy

Its seems strange considering the weather

Mitch Brown late in?

Hutchings to forget the tag and go head to head with Danger, show him how to really play football!

I think Hutchings is a good choice because his preseason form warranted midfield time. I'd like to see him have a real crack and also hurt the other way, not be too Ablett centric. Expecting Yeo to line up on Danger as he has the same explosiveness and could probably run him down or at least effect any clean disposals.

If Shuey is tagged that's fine, the other rotations need to step up, our rucks are massively important here in so many ways! At the stoppage they'll provide some big body damage, around the ground they must hold their marks against undersized opponents and up forward they need to have an impact as well. Very important and not impossible from Lycett and Naitanui.
