thats crap!! no bizz or CJ... but room for Ferg and PJ....

Surely the only way we can beat the cats is with some pace and dash... not anymore how top heavy are we going to be here

HOLLAND, FERGUSON, PJ, JAMAR, WHITE, MILLER, CARROLL, WHEATLEY....

Where are our runners no pettard, Cj or Bizzel is a joke... well done ND...

GEELONG

B: Mackie, Scarlett, Enright

HB: J.Hunt, Egan, Milburn

C: Wojcinski, Bartel, Byrnes

HF: Chapman, Mooney, Kelly

F: N.Ablett, Ottens, G.Ablett

FOLL: Blake, Ling, Corey

I/C: Prismall, Hawkins, Varcoe, D.Johnson,

EM: Selwood, Gardiner, Tenace

IN: D.Johnson, Tenace, Kelly

OUT: Selwood, Gardiner

Its a pretty reasonable selection, given the circumstances - CJ unfortunately has been invisible and needs more time to get his body strong enough to allow him to win his own football at senior level - We need talls to counter Mooney, Ablett, Hawkins and Ottens - so Ferguson Carroll, Holland and Wheatley are needed, you could argue we are still overmatched for defensive height and PJ comes in as Neitz replacement. Yze shouldnt have kamikazed himself after round one, where he was not in our worst 11 players, aside from the droped mark howler, and comes back into the side to provide some proven goalkicking power. IMHO Bate is lucky and Bizzell unlucky, but cause he didnt play any football last week, thats prob why he misses out. Its an ordinary team, but I can understand it...Newton is very raw and needs some more time...he will get his chance and Petterd and Buckley are pressuring Ward, Brown and Bate.

I am happy to see PJ back!

just remember, his season was ruined last year when he performed AN INSPIRATIONAL ACT up at the SCG on ANZAC day

The man is a goer, Ill take him over Jamar any day

'Yze_Magic', don't you sleep?

I'm happy that PJ is in.

I would have thought Bizzell would have been a better option than Ferguson.

I would've chosen Bizzell over Ferguson too, but in the end they're both the same kind of misfit player -- extremely limited defenders with, at best, very dubious claims of being able to play forward.

Did anyone see Ferguson last week? Couldn't pick up the ball to save his life. At least 2 or 3 times the ball went straight through him for opposition goals. He had a god-awful nightmare of a game and has been rewarded for it. Ridiculous. And if anyone thinks CJ was amang our worst last week they have to be kidding themselves. NO_ONE was good. WHY WAS HE SINGLED OUT?

You're right.

Ferguson wasn't great for Sandy last week.

Bizzell didn't get a chance to play for Sandy because he was an emergency.

Perhaps a little unlucky he didn't get a game for Sandy then. You sometimes see players who are emergency a couple of weeks in a row miss out when another player has good form in the 2's, but from the sounds of it Ferg didn't play well.
