Bates Mate

Yep quite a few times this year he has basically said WTF demons about how we are playing particullay the ease teams score against us. He spent 3 years with a defense first mindset now we so easy to score against

At least 2 should be 3 eyes of the ball and elbow to the head. So what if Zach tuoy played out the game it was intentional high impact in my book it floored him.

Might have gone a tad early

Goodnight Geelong game over. Nothing would make me happier than a win against the doggies then beating the cats down there and severely denting their finals chances

Vince is an upgrade on smith despite Smiths athletic attributes. Jkh is and always has been a midfielder. He is a similar type to stretch albiet smaller. Neat skills ok pace cracks in when he has to. Not best 22 but he is next in line after decent Casey form. Get behind him

He has been in good form I'll back him to do well.

Yep the definitely prepared for us last time. I was worried after they jumped to a 3 goal lead. After the game Goodwin and a lot of the players mentioned the Doggies did some things they we were not ready for. Anyone know what that was? This will be a good test to see our new found "focus on defense" At the open space of the MCG. This game is exactly the test we failed against st Kilda , it will say a lot about where we are at and if we have really learned from the stkilda game

Agree on Harmes he has been really good this past month his disposal improving

Too old by 20 days or something. They should change award to rookie of the year. Fritsch and Kelly from Geelong have been best 1st year players in the league this year and won't get any recognition

Ive learned to tune out everytime he opens his mouth

Probably the only player i trust to do something good with ball in hand everytime

Stick a fork in him

Fair call we just dominated 4 quarters

I'd prefer t smith for j smith

Nah no confidence when he has a set shot .

Who out of our forwards do you trust having a set shot ?? Tmac and Fritsch the rest are horrible its a worry that will cost us games.

He is getting lazy as well 3 hacks out of the air instead of trying to grab it

Both mentally weak

Anb seriously worse shot at goal in our team full of rubbish goal kickers

Those 50m protected zone goals are killing the game. Cost is last week and some rediculous ones over the last 2 weeks the hannebury one last night was the worst of all-time.

I would be shocked if he played. Disposal still needs some work and has not been consistant at VFL level

I like the above side although drop hannan for stretch and tyson in for J smith in: Spargo, Garlett, Frost, Stretch Out: Petty, Weid, Hannan, J.Smith only concern is 2nd ruck maybe frosty , Tmac to pinch hit, I remember trac had a go last year in the north . I am really concrened about Gawn blowing up in the NT and the effect for the rest of the year

Who is second ruck in this team? Can't have Maxy rucking 100% of the game in Darwin it will kill him for the rest of the year. I would keep the weid in for 2nd ruck duties and spargo/jeffy can crumb all his dropped marks.

I did see another he put harmes who was our best line breaker all day deep forward in the last when the game was still up for grabs . I'm losing faith in his ability to adapt and when he does try something is the obvious wrong move

Baker not ready Lewis was ok despite a few brain fades other than that looks good
