Now, who said Zach shys away from the physical stuff

Though we have had a player fined for rough conduct (dangerous tackle)

Charge laid:

Zac Guthrie, Geelong Cats has been charged with Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackle) against Daniel Rioli, Richmond, during the fourth quarter of the Round Eight match between Richmond and the Geelong Cats, played at the MCG on Friday May 7.

In summary, he can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Low Impact, High Contact. The incident was classified as a $3000 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

I hate how you can’t even tell from that what the incident was.

I liked Bews attack on the footy. If he average a few more possessions and was a better kick he could be a seriously damaging player. He has a huge amount of strength and is super quick. I know that is not his role but it would be nice.

I think he constantly plays right on the limit of his abilities. Less talent than many AFL players, and he isn't actually that quick. What makes him look quick is his decisiveness and aggression. He gets moving the moment he finds the ball and has a knack for finding small holes in congestion on the attacking side of play and busting through them. Its a real bonus getting that in addition to his reliable work as no1 small defender.

Rioli only touched the ball once in the 4th and it was a handball near the Richmond 50m arc

Unless Zuth tackled him when he didn't have the ball - interestingly though, Zuth didn't give away a free kick last night, so whatever did wasn't enough to be punished by the umpires but it was picked up by the MRO

Our forward line in the 80's and 90's was never the issue. It was in defense where we sucked so bad.
Put in a player like Taylor alongside McGrath and we win a flag.

Scarlett and Enright into that 89-95 team and they win 6 in a row.

You will get hammered for saying this. What say you 00VicWard001

Sorry, I’m ignoring that alias so can’t see what they said.

Hardly “dismal” though.

One kick in 30 minutes of footy? After what I would describe as a "dismal" first quarter. I'll concede it was no where near his worst game for us though. The bar is pretty low if we are lauding that performance.

I’m certainly not lauding it. I thought he was solid. I don’t think he’s there to accumulate stats.

Jezza has such a good goal sense..

Go Catters

and we now have a foward who can snap around the corner 40m aka Chappie. Left foot a bonus

Actually, during his second quarter it was 2 tackles including one inside defensive 50 & 2 kicks - not bad for a guy stationed in defence & with our midfield getting on top

Also in the second quarter Close didn't register a stat, Bews had just 1 disposal, Atkins & Parfitt just 2 disposals each and Blicavs in the ruck had 3 disposals

So Zuths 2 disposals & 2 tackles ain't that bad

Well there appears little danger in that. I just question his selection against other players that would offer more. He has little impact when he’s not stuffing up so why not play another mid like Holmes instead and get games into him? Or Clark who I concede makes mistakes but has 20 times the potential and talent?

Anyway, I’ve said my piece. It’s getting a bit boring harping on it. I’ll refrain posting about him now (until our next team selection anyway.... ).

Parfitt was terrific when the game was close on the line. His first quarter in particular helped keep the margin within 3 goals.
He's got a wide frame. Similar to Ben Cunnington so you can see he will start winning clearances at will in the coming years.

Cam Guthrie has to be a Smokey for the brownlow the way he is going.

 

[winty]

Ok, have watched it again. He had one very good kick to Duncan through the middle of the ground resulting which resulted in a goal. He smothered a potential Lynch mark on the wing and landed a regulation tackle during the quarter. That was it. No other involvement. He didn't fxxk anything up at least so I suppose that's a positive.

So you missed the block on Riewoldt which allowed Henry an uncontested mark which ultimately resulted in Simpson's shot at goal then.

I don’t think it’s a stretch now for him to be labeled an “elite mid”. Now as for his brother....

That might be harder to find than Wally

Parfitt is still young. His physical strength will come on in his late 20s as he matures. At the moment he is still a youngster playing against men.

To be fair with zac Guthrie, we did pluck him from the end of first round of the rookie draft. Expectations and benchmarks for these sort of picked players isn’t set very high.

I am surprised that Ch 7 did not put up a stat on players who have received the most free kicks.

The innuendo over the years from some commentators has been disrespectful.

Bews had 11 and at least a couple of goals kicked on him.
