Against Geelong the biggest issue is the midfield. We will back Worpell first against Selwood because unlike Howe, Worpell can be attacking. But we leave Danger free. We can’t be too defensive we need to try win a clearance because with every stoppage created just leans further in their odds to get control of the footy.
I hope to be wrong but I think Monday will be a blood bath and it won’t be in our favour. We’re a 7-12th quality team before the season started but the injuries have exploited our holes. Clarkson is a wizard in keeping us competitive as we get smashed in the clearances and stoppages week in and out
I do hope you are wrong being a blood bath..and no way would I leave Danger to run riot as he has in the past as then it will be a blood bath...wherever he plays..
We lost to the Saints by a few points last week and perhaps a few contentious decisions in the final quarter even with a few significant injuries, I thought that's it losing to them.
But then I watched them yesterday when they destroyed Melbourne and thought gee they aren't a bad side but you could also say Melbourne have gone backwards but not that bad a side.
Just so hard to read anyone at this stage; cause Gold Coast are fit, fast and skilled and I admit I would not have said that at the start of the year.
Well done Dewy which is also quite incredible that Clarkson has not been once won coach of the year but winning four flags when he has mentored and guided Dew, Fagan, Simpson, Hardwick, Bolton, Lyon, Cameron, Beveridge to senior coaching positions in the AFL is just mind f...... boggling.
