I would have thought that was a no brainer and the easiest way to stop it being rorted when they introduced the sub again
That's almost Blazing Saddles-esque. Where Hedy Lamarr (that's Hedley) has been shot and is looking at the footprints of some early action hero.but he has such tiny feet, if he had proper sized boots he'd have kicked a few hundred more by now surely.

Holmes seems extremely low on that
Going to make next weeks game another classic set up.We're a game clear on top now boys and girls.
not sure too much of this famed managing will happen (although having stewart and Parf to come in maybe isn’t managing but omitting!).
Well, of course Geelong has the easiest draw. It doesn't have to play Geelong!
Hard to see how cats don’t finish top 2 now. Game and %. And good other top 4 all drop at least 1 game each from here. Cats can lose 1 for sure. Maybe even lose 2 of 4 (which they shouldn’t) and still finish top 2
so no history says it is about being in form, not injured (And for Geelong age fresh) over next month leading into finals. Good place to be
I think we would win that game anyway

We have breathing space now though melbournes loss means we can afford to drop one of the last 4 and still get top spot. Would like to win all 4 though.

They were going to do that like the concussion but then relented and let club doctors decide.
No, that's the only game I can get to this season!

I don't think anyone could knock Neale for his effort. He isn't really a ruckman, and inspite of that his tapwork was ok- problem is he didn't really know where to hit it- he made contact just fine. Got pantsed in the 3rd quarter but tightened it up in the 4th. Solid gold experience. Same for SDK. Got beaten tonight, but something he needs to have happen to improve.
Fantastic game- Also should have been a three goal win given Danger had one stolen off him. Was also the first game when I thought we really missed Stewart- Aleer was excellent and really highlighted what we are missing with him out. Rohan did a great job on his as well though-Played a defensive forward role on him some of the time, and also kept him totally clear of JC and Hawk for the whole game.

Stewart for zuthrie
Parf for moc
Menegola for Miers (unlucky)
Then obviously ceglar if stanley was injured.
Is what i expect to see.

Neale hasnt been rucking in the vfl with our other rucks there. Considering that he did ok. Just highlights how important it is to have ceglar as backup for stanley neale is just a kid still who has barely played a season of vfl he is tracking well for his age. But cegs will get the gig in finals if anything happens to stanley.
Doggies pretty good tonight-another tough contest ahead.
That's like the Four Word Film Review of the movie Kramer vs Kramer - I bet Kramer wins.

This was my understanding- He has done a bit of part time ruckwork in the VFL but his understanding of the systems we use in the team would be pretty low im betting- would have been a much more honest showing if he was playing as a KPF. Given that, he did a decent job IMO.

Bring it. The more forging we get in the season pre finals the better.
brought on by 50% DE and 2 CP

That was a pleasing, sturdy performance. I can forgive the 3rd quarter in a win like that. We are showing ourselves capable of withstanding an opposition run and getting on top when it counts.
Although Hawk ended up with 4 and Cameron 3, I thought the game was really setup from the back half in the 2nd quarter. The way we are moving the ball from back there after an intercept is a thing of beauty.
The midfield was a strange performance for us. We dominated the ruck and shaded them in clearances but the long period during the third quarter where Guthrie, Dangerfield, Selwood and Atkins had virtually no influence. Port really got on top and I kept waiting for one of ours to step up but it never happened. Quite disappointing at the time.
Speaking of the ruck, I was quite pleased with Neale‘s effort first time out at the level in that role. Nothing I’d seen at VFL level suggested this was going to be easy for him but he competed really well, got first hands to the ball and, if our midfield had been more switched on in the third, would have been viewed as an influential period for him. The goal Dixon created in D50 was a learning experience for him, you could see it on his face. He got quieter as the game went on but overall I’d give it a pass mark. Handy to have someone who is clearly more suited to a key forward role show that he has some future in the ruck when we need it.
And speaking of young talls, that was probably the first time I felt Sam De Koning got beaten for a whole game. Still some nice glimpses from him but he was really challenged by Dixon’s bigger frame. Nothing at all to worry about and as with Neale, a learning experience.
It’s all been said already about Close and Atkins but my word we are lucky* to have them. I heard Scott speaking of the team being misfits during the week - the Steeplechaser, the two Irishmen, the St Mary’s rookie, etc. - well these two fit that mould really well. It’s quite a list management miracle that we keep managing to unearth players from odd places and they perform to such a level.
Onwards toward the Minor Premiership.
