  1. Omac to the bench, rotating with Frosty to Hawkins, Hannan to Emergency
  2. Hoges close to goal, Pedo at HF. Kicking distance is important.
  3. Thanks, Praha, your confidence should be contagious. All is unfortunate regarding noted absences but in general, we should knock this one off - for a change - quite well. We do have an impressive list and the sense of desire amongst the players is high. They are now too competitive amongst themselves for spots in the team (at last), so their awareness of error, fades or any other poor performance criteria are maximal. It will mean missing weeks of football at that level to get back into the team on the ground as those who will be selected and rotated will be uncomfortably aware of not conforming/performing to the standard required by a team with such ambition this season. This is the first step on our stairway to heaven. It is only tired, old, readable, travelling Geelong, after all.
  4. What you indicate, largely, is the general sentiment and well done for expressing that problem. The injury malaise is one that haunts the MFC. We hope all of our war-weary recover successfully and in future, there is more open honesty from the Club messengers.
  5. Pedo will take on that challenge, rest assured. Inspirational ...
  6. Very poetic and so insightful. What an excellent image it is, too. I hope Bernie caught up with him before he started crying for not getting a free kick - and did a 'Ted Whitten' with him by rubbing a handful of wet mud into his face whilst looking elsewhere, innocently. It is going to rain, the BOM says, so take full advantage of the prevailing conditions, Bernie, PLEASE...
  7. Frost on Blicavs is a good assignment.
  8. All good. Nice to see the final 22, as well for Rnd 1.
  9. It is thought that these actions of his were representative of his poor and vainly limited understanding of the meaning of 'united'.
  10. When this season starts and continues week by week to its ultimate end - where the Demons are in the top one quarter of the premiership ladder - prior to the finals, of course, we will have to count all of the media's naysayers who got it so terribly wrong at this pre-season time of the year. Carey, his mate, Robbo, and many others will be singing from a different song sheet by that time and still expecting the general public to recognise their 'insight' and 'sophisticated declarations' ... and their inherent right to sit on the bandwagon as far as the Demons are concerned.
  11. That is not silly. It is possible and potentially beneficial in several ways. Hawkins is too strong for OMac at this point and we do need for have TMac as a fwd - maybe on a 'swing' to a defensive post should our fwd line be performing above expectations. Hogan has the strength for the job, the marking ability, and much more speed than Hawkins. Not an easy thought to work through, is it?
  12. Quite a likely outcome, SWYL. We must run those two into the ground accompanied by a few hard bodies assisting along the way. I still have dreams of another 'weekend with Bernie' for Dangersmelled, and for Ablett, a run-in with Pedo at full bore....
  13. Thanks for that, most informative. A real depth of perception exercised in your signatory way. Those seeking opinion and feedback will appreciate your analytical efforts. Have a nice day.
  14. IMO, Harmes' form might be a turning point in the Viney saga. He needs the imposed 'leash' to be taken off, that's all, as Harmes does surprising things unexpectedly and I'd consider that he has much more of these 'moments' held in abeyance. He is relatively quick, explosive, tough as nails - and very much a 'keen' team member - with most of the goods to drive the ball and teammates into positive play. And, of course, he is another year wiser.
  15. In all, DNs, this is the best summation and possible resolution of the issue for such a great player.
  16. True, Ethan. IMO, 'crystal-balling it' we need a couple of big 'down back' utilities of the Neitz, Ingerson, Icke variety if TMac is to be sacrificed for fwd power.
