Game Day Round 21: Geelong vs Port Adelaide, - Saturday 5 August 7:25pm @ KP

How are we winning games against good opposition without a single 4 quarter elite midfielder?
Not to undersell Danger’s last quarter of course. But it felt like Bruhn was non-existent, Holmes was patchy, Atkins honest but not on offence.
Who is our Butters, Bontompelli, even Liberatore?

Our biggest issue this year and going forward.

We don't have a consistent game changing midfielder anymore.

Paddy can't do it week in week out anymore. Bruhn looks most likely but I don't think he can go to quite that level.

Bruhn will be that guy in time.

But clark is very very critical for the future of this club we definitely need mids.

Why out for the season?

 

[cats_09]

Lol so now you want 4 tall defenders?

Sounds like some only want 2 - Ratugolea & Kolodjashnij

With Henry receiving treatment on his foot and then icing it after being subbed out, not sure we see him again this season

So again I ask - who replaces SDK in the backline or are we playing short in defence?

 

[terry_bright]

I'd have Miers BOG overall

Over the 4 quarters, I agree.

Leading possession winners

Miers 24
Stewart 23
Smith 22
Atkins 21
Dangerfield 20
Stanley 18
Bruhn 17
Duncan 17

Well, we can see he's not concussed - his maths is still good!

Pussy-cat or Lion cat?

Just a giant pussy!!!

 

[Vdubs]

Potential foot issue

Was getting treatment early in the match and iced up after being subbed out

Not sure if it's the same foot he had issues with earlier this season

SDK plays if we lose JH

F**k me.

Bruhn was far better than non-existent. As for Parfitt's 8 non-damaging handballs, 0 kicks and 0 marks I'm not sure how he "made a difference."

We blew 2 or 3 golden opportunities to goal in the last - from memory Stanley and Mieirs were involved. But they both played well otherwise.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Who's replacing SDK or we going a short line up in defence?

Don’t care. Absolute liability.

Bit rough on Parfitt - he had his moments in the clinches.

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Gryan "Carji" Miers for sure

An excellent sub contribution.

 

[Generalissimo]

Agree. I thought Parf was pretty lively. We won in the end by drawing Port into the congestion and then squirming the ball out to our advantage today and Parfitt played his part in making that work.

Easily, not even close

 

[Strange Cat]

Miers should win the BnF by a landslide

Parfitt had 5 score involvements in a quarter and a half, which was as many as Bruhn, Duncan and Smith had in four quarters, and one more than Holmes.

 

[terry_bright]

Gryan "Carji" Miers for sure

with how our B&F voting works, Stewart still a fair chance.

 

[Jeff76]

Gee Holmes has gone downhill, I had to check the stats on the AFL site to see if he was actually playing. Bruhn way ahead of Holmes now.

Of his 8 handballs 5 were score involvements, and quite a few pressure acts as well despite just one tackle. A couple of times when he got the ball, waited til the last second and released it into space for a teammate.

Is there any truth to the rumours he wants out to Collingwood?
