You'd be right if that were true.

He's been rubbish in contested situations, slowed down a lot of ball movement and has only just got his kicking remotely on track after an awful patch of disposal (6 or 7 weeks). His defensive work outside of a defensive forward role has been poor. He lacks the strength to shut down the opposition bloke who gets first possession and has cost us games when in this role.

His handballs, like so many others in the navy blue at present, have been hap hazard at best. He has the potential to be one of the first picked, but believes his ability to present for the ball demands he should be played in an offensive role.

He has definitely been better the last fortnight against meagre opposition, but no one else has really been tried in any role he's been given on game day. They give him a job and leave him with it.

I'm guessing there will be no changes to the selected side.

But then there'll be 2 late changes and Hammer and Joseph will go out, and Sauce and Walker will come in.

+1

Injury List:

Matthew Kruezer. 2 Weeks, Papercut.

Didn't I hear that he (Krooze) was doing a bike ride in country Victoria that went for 700 odd kms?? He must be going well
with his recovery if this is true....

Don't look at me, I'm irrelevant....

I love how people want Carrots dropped due to his below par disposal and want to replace him with of all people Walker. Sure Walker gives dash but I dont want him coming out of defence with the pressure that Geelong applies and he has refused to lay a tackle all year, I sense because he is scared to hurt his shoulders again. Unless we want to play him as a HFF or FP...leave him out. And yes I have seen him in the Bull ants for the last few weeks.

Geelong

In: Taylor Corey Blake
Out: Ottens, T.Hunt, Laidler

Thornton - not even named as an emergency again = gone......

i wonder if he will walk out the door sideways when he is delisted

I was at training this morning (Report over @TalkingTraining) and Thornton wasn't there. As far as I'm concerned, what I saw of Hampson and Joseph - there's no way they'll come up by tomorrow arvo. Jacobs and Walker to come in...both trained really well...Setanta was around the goal square for much of the drills...for one he was clearly a dummy and would lead hard wide while Bell, Biv, Devoe sprinted forward to get the ball kicked over the top...surprised Yarran wasn't one of the emerg's actually...looked pretty sharp this morning.

Warnock & Jacobs v Blake & Hawkins


We should just scrape in for a win.





....by 39 goals.
