Caddy needs an extended run at it. Don’t drop him and ruin his confidence
Cox will stay in. I’d consider bringing Roberts in. Maybe for Redman if that happens. MCG plenty of space and he’s a good kick. Seems to go ok at the hard stuff too.
BTW Hind stays in too. Rest Goldy for the following week.
Geelong won’t have Hawkins and maybe Dangerfield?
They will try and bully us. Here’s our chance.
Caddy stays in.
So we’re going to bring in Goldstein and punt Draper back to the forward line again.
Fk our coaches.
Draper needs to 1st ruck with back up from a part timer.
Why do we need to accommodate Goldstein??
Lets punt Caddy straight out of the team so Draper can be played out of position up forward in his place.
Chefs kiss. BEAUTIFUL.
Fk off.
No farking idea lol
We already played one tall too many imo, and goldy probs comes back in as well (though I’d prefer he didn’t)
Gresham in, Hobbs in. Probs Goldy in.
Caddy will probably make way, though I’d like to see him.
Gee whiz, Saad would have been handy. Who’s tagging Stewart? Kelly?
That wasnt the rucks fault more so mids being attacking setup.
Draper was a lot more lively thab Goldy even Wright too
Roberts?
Is this filthy mob going to wheel Joel Selwood out of retirement for this one? Stevie J too? With Hawkins and Dangerfield in doubt.
You know… all the old favourites who have terrorised us over the years?
Gryan Myers will kick 4 and have 45 disposals.
A new era begins.
Guelfi I’d imagine.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly the time where Geelong just continually raised their game level whenever they played Essendon.
We had our fair share of great clashes throughout the 1980s and 1990s without it being a rivalry or anything … but the arrival of Mark Thompson was definitely a catalyst. I know we were hardly world beaters at the time but the Cats playing group loved raising their level against us. Every single time.
They thrive off smashing us.
i’m assuming Cox may be rested/injured given the knee twist he had and already had other knee in strapping. Might be nice to be preecautious for a change.
Shiel doesn’t have the tank for a vfl game and has no agility to pick up a ball from the ground. Backup is backup.
Wish we had some selection pressure for our defense and need a big bodied mid. Would love Setters or Hobbs in for the pressure.
Not sure who to take out though.
Bomber used to tell his players to physically beat us up because we couldnt handle it, as it has been said many times on this website
Shiel has pace to burst away from stoppage and win clearance and should help us in the clearances.
he finally has played a VFL game worthy of maybe coming in.
And was probably better than the other midfield contenders Tsatas, Hobbs and Setterfield.
and they all have their issues too
Setterfield - can we trust his knee
Tstatas - kicking
Hobbs - decison making often slow moving ball on and caught HTB
Huge 3 weeks coming up. Need to win 2
You are underrating West Coast. They have a solid backline, Yeo and Ryan are classy midfielders, and their forward line go ok.
Reckon we did ok, given the rogering by the Maggots.
Theyre 3rd bottom and had lost every away game by at least 6 goals. Theyre rubbish
OUT: Cox
IN: Hobbs
- We look too tall
- He looks injured and got subbed out
