Well I will say this: In terms of outright speed Joey is the only one with enough downforce to match GAJ. That's why Joey would be good as the 1/4back in a rebound role. Dal goes to Selwood. Hayes and Ling maybe. Then they have Corey and perhaps Chapman. You could bring CJ into the middle with the s...

Round 14. Geelong haven't seen him.

Ling, goal sense? please man Ling is a tackler. Ling exists in a role as a pressure player. When was the last time Ling kicked a goal? please, I would like to know?

GAJ would destroy CJ.

round 14 and on tom hawkins.
he should be employed specifically to rough-up hawkins.

says to geelong that we are intending on playing you in the grand final without showing them the ace card. puts the cats in two minds and gives him his 100th.

I think Dempster is a bit further away from senior footy than some people think. I think there is a quirk in the VFL fixture that sees Sandy NOT play for 3 weeks after this weekend. If there are NO games to play in, he can't get match fit !! Stupid VFL draw!! I think the Sandy two's still run aroun...

it's interesting. dal santo and selwood will almost certainly go together. i reckon there are two established quarterbacks:- montagna and bartel. montagna the only bloke who has the explosivity to stop ablett. ling is a tackler in every sense of the word nowadays. he doesn't even consider being an o...

good point Eastern.
I s'pose the rationale for that would be that you put your best tagger on their best runner and vice versa.

Just feel that there are a lot of midfield match-ups that need to be thoroughly thought through.

I for one would prefer that the game be held at Docklands, but that's just MY opinion and I doesn't make a difference what I think. I also believe that my opinion is what the broader population agree with. However, I don't believe that the game should be moved on the basis of what the disassociated ...

Rd. 14 DING DING!! The battle of the taggers. what does everyone think? For mine should Geelong continue to suffer suspension and injury and assuming their midfield output is somewhat reduced would it be a possitive objective to eliminate their best tagger in Ling and effectively take him out of the...

We'll always play finals at the MCG unless we finish 5th or 6th and play a non-Victorian club in the first week. Finals are too big these days. a good point. it just goes to show though that these things aren't always cut and dried. if it were sydney it would be in sydney and a WA team in WA. if it...

Good to get used to it in the 1st round of finals. and Round 22 is there also I believe. Its better to be more prepared for the prelim which we have had trouble getting past. then obviously for the Grandfinal. it's a good point you make Griggsy. you have to view it as a 'FOUR GAME BLOCK': GAME 1: M...

on topic: what ever happened to spud carroll. did he fall off the face of the planet. is he selling Oj to pubs nowadays? where is he? what came of him? seems like the entire football world forgot about spud. what's he doing, dont tell me he went bush? seriously... .... i have not heard a peep from t...

good question

is it fair to suggest that rapho and jimmy are similar in nature?
can we pidgeonhole them as being in the same mould as players?

... and everyone laughed at someone suggesting that players need rest.

geelong are one (1) injury [to bartel] away from being a very, very good team if GAJ went down with another ankle.

he is just elite on his feet.
whether it is the 100m dash or just running all day.
no-one in the comp can match his wheels. no-one!
guy is a very powerful runner.

guy is prolly the best endurance runner in the comp and for that reason is the captain of my DT.

Took a backward step today. The lions absolutely monstered us in this department (86-61), and a lot of the time we couldn't make our tackles stick, or they Brisbane players just pushed us off with ease. This raises the question about whether we can keep up our high tackling game throughout the seas...

I didn't think the umpiring was too bad apart from a shocker against Baker. well i thought the umpiring was putrid! i hate this bean flickers who pin people standing in a tackle. the rule on the tackle seems to be that if you wrap your arms around someone and hold them standing on their feet then t...

umpiring was disgraceful.
lenny hayes beaned for holding on his feet.
blakey done for the same thing kicked the ball in a tackle - beaned.
umpiring was an absolute bloody disgrace.
