I do remember Josh Hunt once saying he was born and spawned in Bay 13 selling Dixie ice creams.

 

[Partridge]

Thats interesting!! You'd think the opposite on this site.

You would with Duncan too.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Wouldn't mind seeing Mackie look at least half interested playing a bottom 6 side this time in.

Spell him. See how he goes after that.

 

[Vdubs]

Spell him. See how he goes after that.

H-i-m.
That is not too onerous.

Mackie has been very productive, and in our best recently.
He knows what has to be done every week.

Like I said in the "Is Harry Our Most Important Player" thread, I reckon you can put your house on Harry being "managed" this week. Surprised no one else has really noticed how much he is limping around lately.

 

[Mahlepi]

in caddy, selwood, henderson, kersten
out menzel, kolo, cowan, mccarthy

get the feeling this will be vintage geelong

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Just remember that giving a player a week off now could potentially mean they have 3 weeks off over a 7 week stretch. That is a fair bit of actual match play to miss. Not sure that it is ideal in a potential lead up to a grand final.

Yeah, it's a bit shit, to be honest. Finalists get the bye, top 4 team wins their qualifying final and get another bye. It's far too stop/start in my opinion, and might hamper the momentum of some teams.

On the plus side, it may negatively affect Hawthorn

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

I'd like to see Scott Selwood come in and tag David Zaharakis. He's a relatively easy kill, and I think Scott should get 3 or 4 big jobs leading into finals to see if he can handle it.

Zaharakis, Martin/Cotchin, Zorko and Viney would all be good tests for him.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Walks into Geel / Ess thread.... Finds mental pygmies squabbling over SuperCoach points

 

[Mr Blicavs]

This is the kind of game we usually lose.

We won't lose this game......what we need to be concentrating on is going for the jugular and putting them to the sword.
Percentage is going to seperate top 4 and 5-8 this season

But how will that effect our Superteam and Dreamcoach ratings?

Walks into Geel / Ess thread

Is that was this thread is.....I mean was ?
I thought it was a pissing contest thread

Edit* Sorry, looks like I've posted this in the Cam Guthrie/Supercoach thread.

I think tagging is a thing of the past. How many hard tags have there actually been in any games this season? I guess Scooter could still have a role as a more defensive midfielder, but I doubt you'll see him running around with a hand on someones jumper all game.

I've got to stop reading these threads prior to team selection. They are just making me seriously depressed. I could be doing so many more better things.

for the life of me why isn't Sam Mitchell tagged every week? Lingy would usually cut him out of a game, now he has open slather.

I think they still exist, just used more sparingly.

Zaharakis and Rich are 2 players who often get a strong tag and go to water, and both are incredibly damaging if left to run free.

I just like our side a little bit more with defensive mid/tagger. We played some of our best football early this year when Blicavs was limiting the influence of the oppositions number 1 stoppage players.

I find it very, very amusing.

There's a better thing than watching an internet fight ?

At the same time, we accounted for strong opposition in Adelaide very well with no tagger in sight. And against the Dogs. So it's not like it's absolutely necessary.

True, We've had some good results without a tagging, I just prefer a solid lock-down option for Sydney, GWS and Hawthorn. If it's going to be Scott Selwood, he needs to prove he can do it in the final 4 rounds of the home and away season.
