Game Day AFL Round 8 - Geelong vs Carlton

[FredLeDeux]

Mackie probably didn't want to play VFL.

A more likely reason is that they are still really unhappy with some aspect of Blease's game.

 

[you pick one]

They'll never get it right until they cut ties with the campaigner in Queensland who is calling the shots.

Edit: Just heard Trigg's quote... OUCH! Fair to say he doesn't like/respect Mick - dropped him right in it.

He's dead old Visy.

Didn't lay a tackle in 40 minutes last week apparently.

No you sill billy - there is another bloke - Bruce Mathieson (his nephew is on the board too).

Depends on how we use the ball going forward. Deliver it well, and Hawkins and Clark may just kick a dozen between them.

We get on top in the middle and with Carlton's undersized defence we'll kick plenty. Otherwise it could be a hard slog I feel.

That may be one reason, who knows?

Kersten 4 tackles in 3 games.

I really don't understand the need to rush Mackie back only to have him as the sub. Another strange decision from the MC.

Is a bit weird...

When they sack Malthouse they will have had 4/5 coaches in 9 years

Not liking all this talk of "will Malthouse be fired if Carlton loose by 60+"
All our recent games against the Blues have been tight encounters

How do we unlike this...

If not Mack who else?
Don't get to see much of the Bankers who has been playing well for them that could get a game?

Have you watched the Blues this year? They have been *ign disgraceful.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

But he has avoided a game in the 2s so the egos intact,mission accomplished.

Lol that ego word is getting bandied around a lot on here of late. The clear absence of evidence makes it quite humorous

Up and working on time this week

 

[Chappycats]

Anyway I really hope we bring the same intensity to this game as we did against the Swans in the 1st half. But hopefully for a full game. Would love to see each of Hawk, Clark and Kersten to dominate the air and kick plenty and also the youngin's in Lang and Gregson to snag a few also.

You trolling Daz.LOL

Just thinking the pasting they and their coach have received this week might fire them up to play out of their skin against us

Playing ressies tomorrow and on the afl list.

Kolo, Cunico, Blease, cocky, Read, walker, Lucey and Luxford...

So not much in his position really. That said if the intention was for him to be sub then maybe Cocky would have been better??

Would like to see all our forwards trying to prevent Carlton streaming out of the D50 into attack as they have in our last few games.

Thats not Pratt but Bruce Mathieson who was after wayne hughes' head. Now its Mick.

Well if the thinking was to bring him on later to give one of Riv, Taylor or Lonners a rest then I would have Kolo in as the sub. Gives the kid a taste in a game that shouldn't be high pressure. Mack gets 3-4 quarters in the VFL to test his leg out and get some match fitness and touch.
