[—coach— 3,466]

looks like @binman 's prediction of JVR making a late appearance this season is gaining momentum with JVR emergency!

Probably just an emergency so he can see the family perhaps

Kozzie at CHF , anb on the HBF.

They are taking the [censored]

I often wonder if they think there is one person out there that believes these type of team placements.

As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

Which is utterly ridiculous.

I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

Couple of big Vic clubs haven't played in Geelong for a long time, so you could argue they haven't played a home game

Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽 

Harmesy copped a knock early in the second. Not himself the rest of the game, no one had any idea why including the coaches. Apparently felt terrible the next day and then failed the concussion test. He's pretty flat about it by all reports, hope he's right and firing for finals - underrated team player.

It’s why it’s called a fixture and not a draw.

Thanks for explaining. I hope Harmsey is back to his enthusiastic, bubbly self sooner rather than later. Love that guy!

Who plays forward? Petty, Salem or Hunt? Or Jordon with Brayshaw to the wing?

That explains his single digit possessions and might explain that kick into forward 50.

Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

He usually gets the sub gig.  Expect him there.

Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

This may have been covered elsewhere, assuming this happened with a fair chunk of game time left, why did we not use the sub??

Poor Chandler..

Dead set best in form player at Casey who are 15-0, and yet still can't get a crack against blokes who've have been dead set ordinary for 6 weeks.

Thx WC... yes just read LN's quoted post lol.  My bad

[Deecisive 1,652]

I would love to see chandler get a game or two, we risk losing him if we cannot play him especially when he is in better form that some of the players who are playing now. i think we could have rested spargo or ANB to give him a chance.

Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

Or Jordan with Gus to wing.

[Damo 2,995]

Tomlinson and Harmes out. Lever In. That increases our I.Q.  Tomlinsons weak efforts last week lost us that game. His cards should be marked. Harmes is just random too often.

Sounds plausible.  Spargoat for mine.  ANB seems like a player that needs the miles under his belt each week given his usual role.

Really looking forward to Kozzie playing at CHF though and him crashing the packs to get the ball down to Weideman and when Max is resting forward!

We have only had 3 home games against Essendon out of the last 19

Collingwood hasn't played at Geelong since 1999

Essendon hasn't played at Geelong once since 1993

With 8 defenders, maybe Gus will tag his brother in the midfield and get in his ear about coming to Melbourne....
