He scored 2 or 3 goals for carlton nearly killed us. Too slow WITH the ball, sure he is fast withiut it but with it OMG.
OUT: Blake, Geary

The ball moves faster than the man. All teams looks low if their ball movement stagnates.bobmurray wrote:Interesting that the ABC commentators,Parkin and Schwab,thought that the one area StKilda was vulnerable and could be exploited was their lack of pace.....
Are there any players with pace that could come into the side if changes were made......
Now, I wasn't able to watch the game last night and I haven't had the chance to watch the replay just yet, but did having Gwilt out of the side mean more attention was able to be put on Kosi, contributing to his quieter game?AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:I was pretty disappointed that Gwilt was dropped, although I hoped that meant that we'd try Sam Fisher, or Gilbert across half forward. But to have none of them playing there last night was ridiculous. We had about the shortest half forward line in history. Playing Fisher on the wing seemed pointless. We ought to go for the jugular and try him across half forward, like Carlton did with O'Hailpin last night. He did really well there and Fisher has more ability than him. So does Gilbert.
If we refuse to move one of those bigger guys up there from the backline, we ought to bring Gwilt back in, as he was at least giving us a half decent marking option across half forward.
don't agree. saw the game on tv and it was very fast. last year the saint shad a lack of pace not this year anywhere near as much. Though it would be nice to have another small indiginous(spelling wrong) player running through the foward or back line like davey, garlett.bobmurray wrote:Interesting that the ABC commentators,Parkin and Schwab,thought that the one area StKilda was vulnerable and could be exploited was their lack of pace.....

did you watch the game? for the third time this year (as well as brissie and essendon) we were put onto the back foot by the pace of the opposition. what do these members of carlton's best last night have in common?James wrote:Montagna's quick. Milne is lightning when he wants to be. Schneider has shown bursts of pace. Dal Santo is pretty fast. Goddard gets wings when he wants to. Gram is really fast too. Jones was touted as our "pacy" mid. And we recruited Ray mainly because he had pace.
I don't see where this argument comes from - we have a lot of speed in the side - and the gut running to back it up.
good point. while our tall defence has a lot going for it (conceding fewer points than any other this season) we ought to be wary of going in too tall.bergholt wrote:we went in with a really tall defence and were shown up for pace back there.
that's an issue that the coaching staff will address in the next couple of weeks. why? because stokes, varcoe, chapman, johnson, byrnes, ablett have kicked the majority of geelong's goals between them. that's why.
What's it gonna take for some posters to regard Blake as a first 22 regular?Has played every game in the back six of one of the most miserly defences in the history of the game.CaptainReiwoldt wrote:whats it gonna take for BLAKE to be dropped?? Losing a game completely off his own bad decisions???

What Tassie said.TassieJones wrote:Out: Geary
In: Armitage for balance (VFL form pending), I'd prefer to see Goose come in but we'd be too tall.
Geary's had some great matches this year but he's too young to keep it up and is clearly running out of petrol. Needs a spell in the twos to recuperate and give someone else a go
Have you seen Maguire this year? If not, how would you know he is better than Blake?rexy wrote:Out: Blake, Geary
In: Maguire, Eddy
See what happens, Geary is not having much impact and Blake is not as good as Maguire IMO. McEvoy should get all 4 weeks that King is out unless he actually has a poor game, not saying he was really good but I dont think he was poor.
