That I get but why was our game moved and others allowed to be conduted at the MCG? I though it would have been more problematic to have Victorians go into Queensland.

Other way around…bears coming to melb would have made it problematic for them to return to Brisvegas …I think
I guess the actual reason would have been that Brisbane players would not ave been able to go home to their families if they were not in QLD before midnight Friday due to border closure
Parker was playing wing at South Fremantle before we picked him up in the mid season draft. From memory he was killing it in that spot.
Seems to me thats his position and we should play him in it with Pickett on the other wing. Just a thought.

Brisbane was already in Melbourne, they took the same flight up as us.
Yeah but the qld border was closing Friday night, they would have had to play the game a few hours earlier if stayed in Melbourne. They wouldnt do that for a Friday night game. Surely it was better to play with some crowd than none at all anyway.
We got the win so it was played at the right ground, right?
Also weren’t as hard to beat without a plus 15 free kick advantage , just about all leading to an i50 , like carrying 62kg in the saddlebag

It's Time!
Geelong only want the G now we have half a team in and Dusty injured,otherwise Hocking would have thrown out the handbags in his cot.
With Macca out that’s where I’d play him, had some nice entries i50 , needs to get a better feel of the pace, he ain’t playing wafl no more and how his teammates roll too, certainly wasnt afraid to get hands dirty
Agreed. I don't know if Chol will ever devlop a big enough tank - he's had long enough to do it. RCD and Naish can develop it. No doubt the fatigue factor got us in Pies and WC game...
If he can reproduce last night regularly as a specialist 2nd ruckman you can live with it

Apart from the obligatory non-holding the ball calls, we did seem to get a fair shake for once. And that's all we want; a fair shake.
I'm surprised Fagan didn't complain about the umpires during his press conference.

Yes that was his best ever game - however he's been around quite some time. I'd be happy to us to retain him if CCJ goes but not sure we keep both. We'd then have Nank, Soldo as our first two, followed by CCJ, Nank and Ryan with Mate as a backup (and very speculative). 6 rucks on the list?
I reckon CCJ is a KPF and with Reiwoldt 33 and Lynch 29 he will be very important markung option for us who only rucks in the forward line

Does CCJ have the mobility for a Ruck?
I think we are going to need someone more mobile when JR goes. CCJ is basically Lynch but not quite as good (yet or possibly ever). Chol has the tricks, does he have the grunt?
Completely different prospect playing Geelong than Brisbane. Geelongs midfield are a daunting prospect especially with ours still weakened. If we cut off their short kicks and movement through the corridor though like we did last week, I actually think we could do the unthinkable and steal the win
Can’t see how we do though and I’m tossing up who would best fit our needs going forward
The 64,000 question is , working in tandem the key to unlocking cholly best form , spares him from being gassed at 3/4 time
Why 64,000?

It probably the last two weeks as the only ruck that unlocked this performance on Nanks return....
Should I send Revlon my bank details or will they mail me a cheque for $64K?
