Preview Geelong V Richmond at MCG Sun Jul 25 @ 320 pm - Rd 19

[Ricketz]

No but he got his 2 premiership medallions so doubt he gives a sh*t!!

Ok, I have enjoyed this joke. I will say that you are absolutely correct, he wouldn't give a s**t. Because he phenagled a nice contract and a couple of medals that will parachute him into jobs after his footy career finishes.

But people were well aware that his excuse to jump ship was always bullshit, it was always about the dosh.

So the more he enjoys the dosh and doesn't give a s**t, the more funny it makes the pisstake about him leaving for midfield minutes - at least for me.

Scott likes old blokes in the team, so out goes Narkle again. We won't the flag because Scott will ensure we're too old and too slow - again.

 

[Ricketz]

Yeah he was better in 2018

Everything was better in 2018. Except the callouses on my earlobes from that damn mask elastic.

 

[thecatattack]

Not sure the suggestion is that Narkle is being managed/rested but that others will be as the season continues and that will present Narkle with an opportunity to play

he shouldn't need to rely on that after his weekend performance though

100% it was a bullshit excuse, he just wanted to play with his buddy Prestia, nothing more nothing less. Much like McCarthy and Lachie Neale.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I'd like to see some advanced stats on when Narkle got his touches.
I feel like he got most of them in the second half when the game was over.

 

[cats_09]

He's stiff after a good performance, but he wasn't keeping either Rohan or Henderson out

And not sure he's done enough to be selected in the guts ahead of Dangerfield, Selwood, Guthrie and Parfitt

We need to remember that against Freo, with Rohan out we saw Dangerfield play more time forward which opened up a spot in the guts for Narkle. But this week we've seen Rohan return which will mean Dangerfield goes back to playing more time in the guts and the spot which opened for Narkle last match

Turn it up mate. Some you blokes seriously make me chortle.

Split 50/50 between first half and second half, but also predominantly the first quarter & last quarter

Yep, also true - and it's only the added bullshit that makes it funny at all. I'll admit, I am in that grey area where I might be old enough for AZ and young enough for Pfizer, so I definitely should know better.

8 in the first, 5 in the second, 3 in the third, 10 in the last. Bookends.

He was notably busy inside early in the game.

But he went there for the fitness staff

 

[Drunkcat]

I think Holmes offers more than Narkle so Holmes is unlucky to not be getting a game

 

[Ricketz]

Yeah, I thought he had decent impact when the game was on. Looks like he played mostly hff role in the second and kicked a goal. Finished strongly. Can't ask for much more from a midfielder, but that line is long. As a hff, he would need to tackle more I reckon - so I can understand why he might be pushed out with Rohan in. Still I don't think he did his chances as a utility any harm, and could see him first off the rank back in if there was a late change.

 

[Drunkcat]

Only bulls-t about this side is Zuthrie offers nothing to our side

 

[thecatattack]

definitely not, not yet at least

 

[Drunkcat]

Holmes tackles so i think he does

 

[catpremier 07]

Zuthrie isn't playing

 

[Drunkcat]

Zuthrie isn't playing

Looks like he will be sub

 

[catpremier 07]

Looks like he will be sub

I
My guess would be narkle but we'll see

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Holmes is the sub according to AFL site.
