9 marks for the game, highest on the ground. Worked his way into it, and got firing. Really played off Lobb well. What to do with Hogan? McCarthy likes playing off Tabs too18 disposals and 1 goal vs North

Me too. Two talls that take the contested mark. Hogan and McCarthy play to their strengths by leading up and getting those low kicks. It’ll work. Schulz/Walters and a Matera will be enough.I’d like to see Tabs, Hogan, Lobb and mccarthy in the same Fwd line. Yes seriously. Reckon Hogan and McCarthy are mobile enough with the help of SonSon and a Switta, Giro, Schultz combo. Ballas and Banfield were disappointing for me so can make way.
Honestly can't agree with this.Should be in the 2nds once Hogan is right
Hogan doesn’t have the leads, or endurance to keep going for the leads down the wings at this stage. It’s a lot to put on him, especially coming off his injury. Tabs will be great to allow Hogan to come in, get used to AFL again without having to carry the HF line.Honestly can't agree with this.
However, I also don't know what the answer is because Hogan needs to come in (if fit) and McCarthy is definitely staying.
I honestly don't think there is anyone better than Tabs in our side who can run his opponent into the ground while taking contested marks up the wing, it is such a pressure valve for us, he was epic on Sunday. I mean yes, Hogan and Lobb can do that role - but not like Tabs can. Also definitely not saying Tabs is better than them but they are different players.
It would send a terrible message to the group if he was dropped for Hogan for Round 2, it won't happen.
I would be willing to trial bringing Hogan in for Ballas but it is risky. If it's to be done, against GC on Sunday would be a better idea than say.. Round 4.
Backline, no room in the forward line and his set shots are garbage anyway.With all these tall forward names being bandied around in the same forward line where does Cox fall into the equation.
Bearing in mind if you say (the backline) they're pretty settled, and then you have people like Logue, Blakely & SHilly to come into there at some stage.
Nah wouldn’t give them close to that. Geelong can take a 4th rounder or GAGF. Kelly didn’t want to come this year but now considering next year? He clearly favours West Coast. Probably realized he doesn’t have much choice now. Insulting reallyWould you trade Tabs for Tim Kelly?
No brainer I reckon

I'm not a big Kelly fan but you are fantastically biased in you player rating here.Nah wouldn’t give them close to that. Geelong can take a 4th rounder or GAGF.

No, not on his rating per se. Just how the manager and player played the trade period was unprofessional and arrogant. Have to remember he just played one season of AFL. Family comes first, you would take any option that comes to give the best to them. Not in a position for demands in your first full season. And home sick too.I'm not a big Kelly fan but you are fantastically biased in you player rating here.
Not sure they lost out. He was probably the difference between 4 points and nothing on the weekend against last year's GFists. It's in his and Geelong's interests to play West Coast off against Fremantle for his services (assuming he doesn't stay). They'll still get good compo for him this year if he comes home.Then Geelong played that badly and loss out.
Exactly. We ll have to give up picks as well as player, now that Geelong has regained the upper hand. Do we back our development in Cerra, Brayshaw, Tucker in the middle or bring Kelly in. At the expense of picks though.He's gonna cost a WA team big time at the end of the year with a larger sample size to barter with now. Regardless of whether he's out of contract.
