Preview The Curious Case of the Two Grand Finalists Geelong v Sydney at GHMBA

[SM]

Probably. I’m just all in on CHB Blakey, the key defender of tomorrow's football.

Agree.

 

[rustycrate]

Agree.

That is curious. Key defenders with no shoulders to speak of? Or is it the running style?

I think he's great in the air and his strength lets him play tall when needed, with his speed off the mark a great asset to take advantage of his more lumbering opponents, much like Fox.

 

[Punts]

Hicky will get up

I was just having a bit of fun. Blakey does not scream prototype. Not playing on the big boys.
He was left lying on the ground last week over the line. Then scragged by a nobody. Cheap shot on Blakey.
I like him loose as a lizard. But he played well last game as a key tall.

Was the second best rated game of his career, reckon he went alright.

 

[Donza]

Hicky will get up

I reckon he, Rampe and Clarke will come in.

I'd like that.

 

[wills2g]

One of Errol or Chad will be completely taken out of the game by Blicavz so Parker & Rowbottom needs to step up this week

 

[Tedeski]

McInerney is the one that is getting rewarded games with no pressure on him from below.
The Cats will highlight his poor form this week.

 

[Artygunner]

Yep. We have reached out to let Matt know we are advertising the Barwon as a pre match venue over on the FB group. Goes for everyone in here too, come for a bev before the game if you were lucky enough to get tickets.

I’ll be there from about 3pm before I head into the ground. Hopefully his boys still come down for the trip.

I’ve sunk enough piss in that place I reckon Matt should get me change room access hahah

 

[caesar88]

How many predominantly defensive players can we run … at the moment we have Parker, Rowbottom and Harry. I really am not looking forward to a Clarke selection even if he just replaces Harry.

A stretch to say Parker is a predominantly defensive player. He did so on the weekend but I can't recall him doing it at any other point this season. Given we lost our last game against this mob in the midfield, I could easily see Horse unleashing our most experienced mid to get us going against Geelong.

 

[caesar88]

What is Horse going to do when Hickey's ready for senior footy? Cause the two ruck thing might not work, and I'm not dropping Ladhams.

Was about to that

I don’t think the 2 rucks will work as neither are 2nd forwards

Hate the idea to be honest

 

[Maddo11]

Blakey on Cameron, husky boy Gould on husky boy Hawkins. Let’s go.

No no no, Fox to Cameron. Fox shut him out of a blow out for more than 3qtrs last time.

Whoever goes to Hawkins is going to get monstered, we've really got nobody with the 1v1 capability. Might as well give Gould a crack at it. Literally nothing to lose

Expect Mills to play a fair bit behind the ball to help out our wrecked defensive set up. Will need a big game from Parker and Mills in the guts to have any chance

 

[Punts]

To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s hicky last year
Played some good and poor games last season

Injury prone

Ladhams has played a reasonable amount of game time as a forward for port while he was there and in our situation beggars can't be choosers. Play Hickey ruck and Ladhams as the tall forward in place of McClean. At least Ladhams can move. Unless the ball is on top of McClean's head he is rendered useless.

Give yourself a slap. We don't deal in Fact around here.

Don't want to offend any of Justin's many fans here.

Ladhams has no forward craft what so ever imo

Imo has t got much on his shoulders with smarts

That's good because it's pitiful how people can't handle their favourites being critiqued.

He is going shithouse and that's a fact. Anybody who can't see that his form is nowhere what he is capable of is in denial.

No doubt Ladhams is a space cadet but what is McClean adding as a key forward ? We need to try something a bit different is all i am saying if Hickey was to play. Not as if we are going to be any less mobile with him up there instead of McClean.

 

[Jewelsbon]

I reckon he, Rampe and Clarke will come in.

Can't imagine there'd be three changes after such a strong win. Francis for Amartey, that's it.

Would almost rather francis

 

[momentbymoment]

Both Stengle and Stanley out for Geelong means that when we win, it’ll only be because of the Cats’ crippling injury toll.

There are 3 junior designers working on the graphics as we speak. “Courage cats overcome injuries” … or something like that.
