Preview Geelong V Port Thu June 15 @ AO 710 pm

[Vdubs]

Spot on. His play, being the first ever JHF. That's what's exciting. Good signs early and a long way to go.

Fair enough.
The preceding comments were about comparisons, which is inevitable when a young star blossoms

True. There is always an obsession with size in the modern game too. When it translates to strength, physicality, burst of speed etc - that's the real good stuff. And there's plenty JHF has done play wise for that to be the focus.

Also in every sport the comparisons almost denigrate that player becoming the best of whatever they are, not "the next". Just a personal gripe.

 

[Romeoh1]

I'd prefer winning premierships...but I'm old fashioned like that.

Che? Not sure how having a fantastic bunch like that precludes that. Pretty good bunch to build on in order to win a flag at some point, I’d have thought. Good luck to them. Well, not next week though.

Good points.
Good thing is he is such a unique player, as are all players I know, but something very special about him.
Rozee, Butters... love watching them- will have to refrain on Thursday

 

[moruyatom]

It’s good that teams around us are losing…Freo and dogs. which still keeps us in the race. Hoping Blues do a number on the bombers as well.

- 50 games.

 

[you pick one]

Mark O'Connor - 100 games
Tyson Stengle - 50 games.

I was thinking no way 50 for Tyson but forgot we are his 3rd club.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Massive game. I'll be there, as I always am when the boys come to S.A.

I think we'll be up against it, and I don't expect to come away with the four point.

However, if we can get the win, it will be the best win of our season.

 

[kittypurry]

Winning this would be iconic. We're every chance, especially with some of our elite boys returning and knocking off the Doggies last week. I believe! I might be crazy, but I believe!

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Who are we expecting back from our injury list for this game.....Duncan and Danger?

Anyone else?

Holmes I think

 

[Cataholic]

Holmes I think

Would love that, but I'm thinking we won't see him until the following week, though I don't have a particularly solid reason for that, other than the vibe from the injury reports

 

[Footy Smarts]

Would love that, but I'm thinking we won't see him until the following week, though I don't have a particularly solid reason for that, other than the vibe from the injury reports

Scott said all of Duncan, Danger and Holmes would play. It's not like him to make such clear statements on anything let alone injuries. Given that I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get up.

 

[Sire of Claude]

Sav would have been ideal for Dixon alas.

Scott said Holmes would play in his post-game presser last week.

Port will and should be warm favourites for this game. If we should happen to pinch it, then we are areal chance to make top 8. Realistically top 4 is out of our reach.

Thanks.

Missed that.

 

[D BRIDGE]

GAS was 185, 90 at the same age. JHF is larger

I mentioned it earlier and have thought a few times when watching JHF play that he has a bit of Gaz about him.

He is obviously a very high-level talent for sure and only will improve.

 

[you pick one]

 

[goyoucatters]

And imagine being able to look forward to having them run around for you for the next 10 years!

Very formidable midfield group building over there, no doubt.

Hopefully our next posse of really talented tyros is just a couple of years behind on the development arc.

#amansgottadream

 

[AM]

Bowes is available after a vfl game. Holmes might be close.

Sounds like sav is at least a week or two away.

Thought CS said in his last presser Holmes would get up. Esava, no. Menegola, who knows.

Be nice!

 

[Cataholic]

Is Mitch Hardie any chance?

Early days, but then he's on a very short contract too.

I wouldn't think so in a game where at least 2 and very possibly all 3 of Danger, Duncan and Holmes return.

 

[hammo24]

He's building into being a very good player indeed.

JHF definitely reminds me of Dangerfield with how explosive he can be. (Not the Adelaide version he butchered it non stop) Geelong actually turned him into a gun.

kid will be scary

 

[Cataholic]

Hopefully he's given a game at some point to see what we have, and not left to languish waiting on an injury for his opportunity.

 

[Turbocat]

..

We need 8 wins. from the remaining 11 games ... 7 wins .. and it get into the area of percentage.


A rough guess ... L,W,W,W,W,L,W,W,L,W....


it looks like that last game against the Dogs might be to see who plays finals.... and thats only if all goes as expected. Win this games against Port and it has the chance to really change the storyline.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Ladies ans gentlemen... I have a strong gut feeling that we will win this.
