Joshy needs to come in for Mackie. Missing the penetrating kicks out of half back and someone who can out muscle his man. Sick of seeing Mackie get cheap touches and then handball to a player under pressure, but of course Thompson only plays favourites.
You're still number 1 Josh. http://www.islandbass.com/forum2/images/smilies/icon856.gif

This statement defies words in its inaccuracy. As virtually every voice in the land praises Geelong for the way we run it out of the backline and straight to the forwards, a gameplan of which Mackie is no small part, you're saying that we're missing Hunt...You've become a parody of yourself, Renegade.

Just call him a goose and be done with it. It will not understand the big words.

Mackie runs it out of the backline does he?
Mackie is made to look good because Smithy, Jimmy and Chappy are good enough to clean up his trash. Josh uses A-Grade precision to get the ball moving to a guy in an attacking position.

Oh Renegade, you crack me up.
Yeah, let's drop Mackie. How does no sound?
Why would you drop an in-form player for someone who is out of form? :confused:

Josh had a form hiccup, but he's generally a very good player. I'm not saying anything like drop Mackie for him, but I like him in the side.

I look for Hunt when he's been dropped - instinctive. I like him this year since the ego deflated - hope he returns to the side. I don't write him off because of one or two mistakes. He's 25 and should be well aware that he needs to earn his place in a tight line-up.
Wish he'd let a bit of hair grow back. The nude-nut doesn't do a lot for him - makes him look like a blockhead. No comment please!
VFL - 9th June Report
Left tonight to go to AAMI Stadium so he only played a half. Looked ok for the first quarter. Got a video of him in a bit of a scuffle with some Werribee random (After pushing Andjres Everitts head into the ground). Word is he won't get a run, just a precaution.

Saw Josh take on a few guys in the VFL. They were slapping at him like girls, Josh used one of his immensely strong arms on each of them and treated them like rag dolls. They must have been thrown about 10 metres by Josh. Then he smiled, then i smiled, and a good time was had by all.
Josh to be back this week.

He hasn't cemented a spot and he has been around for years. He has not improved in areas which every thought he would. He has gone backwards since 2004 where he had a solid year.
Trade him at the end of 2007.
Is Renegade serious or just taking the piss here? If he? is serious...............:o

Rengade he is far from a star! I would be letting him go before he stuff up another game. His game sense is shithouse. He gets the ball and kicks it, well done. Trade him while he's got value, tenace, dj, milburn. prismal and harley poops all over him. Get your head out of josh's arse and smells the roses. Josh is not up to it in todays side. If you dispute tell me why!!!!!!!!

funny u should say that...my mum went to the game cause a mate of mine was playing for frankston.. i was too hungover to go..but the point of this is she had a chat to him after the game n he said he wasnt happy at geelong n wasnt going to re-sign his contract at seasons end...tho dont quote me my mum couldve put it out of context

I've been told something similar - it's not a good idea to be making known your opinion about your selection or lack of ....that may well be one of the reasons why he is on the outer. I've always liked him but was aware of his anger in the 2s, as has been pointed out by the media - these things don't impress Bomber. I imagine he will move - his long kicking is widely admired - and I hope he finds satisfaction at another club.

Good game from Josh. That free kick in the pocket against him was pure bullshit. He did some nice things, took Medhurst out of the game when he came on.

Thought that Hunt played pretty well Friday, got Johnson in the 2nd half when he moved forward and broke even - one time used the body beautifully to nudge Johnson out of the contest, it was absolute poetry.

Something to build on. Will need to sustain some good form to keep out challengers.

Hunt was quite good against Freo, I thought. Did everything that could be expected of him.

Id say he'd be considering his position at the end of the year , apparently not too happy being in the VFL again. He has been dropped more than once this year when he really had done little wrong and I'm sure he would be a regular at 8-10 other clubs in the league.
So , the question is what's his contract situation and who would most be interested in him if he was determined to go elsewhere . I could see a side like Sydney be interested , his mature body and lethal left foot would suit them.

He played positive, constructive footy in the VFL against Ballarat- not angry stupid play as we've seen before. Set up a number of goals.

Made few mistakes during finals - stunning performance in the GF justifying our ongoing support. Great stuff, Josh!
Was I dreaming or did I see Josh kick TWO right foot kicks on Thurday Night against Port?
Both didn't look too bad either.

Yup, they were both pinpoint passes too.
The most impressive thing was how he took that mark, snapped his leg, limped off, had it re-aligned and then came back on. Pure guts from Joshua.
