AFL Round 13: Geelong v Richmond Sunday 3:20pm AEST @MCG

[Gavin Excell]

Guthrie has to go. Cunico was ordinary, Gregson doesn't look like he's improved much on his early career standard. Other than that it was ok.

Cunico stays

Cunico was one of your better players.

 

[Rod Stroker]

If the season finishes as is we'd have Richmond v Melbourne week 1 of the finals. The two best attacking teams in the comp going at it would be a dream for neutrals.

Would also be Scott v Scott. This time at the G or Etihad. Bring it on!

 

[Tiger Mopsy]

Great game! Much closer then last years finals. Hopefully Geelong can get some players back and have another crack in a few weeks

Lol who you missing?

Wait til we get Prestia, Hoult and Astbury back!

Muppet of the highest order!

 

[Snake_Baker]

I would take Bartlett to kicked them any day over Ablett

Bartlett was deadly.

It was always expected that Gaz jnr. would join the previous great onballers like Matthews, Bartlett & Blight, and become a damaging forward, but it's not going to happen.

Amazing to think a player with nearly 800 goals could be a better goal kicker than 400.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Pretty much what I expected. Cats pretty much playing at their best, but Richmond's ferocity is scary.

 

[ShadeyP]

Flags aren't won in June.
Crows were flying this time last year. No flag
Hawks were 2 games clear in 2016 in the run home, Swans finished top. No flag for either.
Freo on top for all of 2015. Didn't even make the GF.

Completely aware of that but i will stick by that comment ... which is that they are odds on favorites .

Better player also

Taylor, Henderson, Menzel, C Guthrie, S Selwood, Ratugolea off the top of my head. Not all of them necessarily play if fit of course but it's a list nonetheless.

I wasn’t implying that Geelong lost because of injuries, only that I am looking forward to another crack with a slightly different team. Maybe the result would have been the same, hopefully we find out soon.

Sorry to offend.

 

[PhatBoy]

Better player also

This made me spit my drink. Thanks Eddie Murphy

 

[db26]

Well Geelong have a bunch of injured players that would essentially replace all those four so it’s no real wonder they got outplayed.

Who are those injuries?.Taylor is a handy player but your defence is settled now.

 

[Heisenberg_]

Nothing like a big away win. Great effort by the boys.

Yep good win on the road for the boys, lucky we have the bye to recover from it.

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Geelong's bottom six got exposed. Richmond bottom six shat all over them.

Unfortunately true. Hopefully our bottom six become Cam Guthrie, Henderson, Menzel, Cockatoo, Scott Selwood and Taylor. Then I think we win that. Z Guthrie, Murdoch, parsons, can’t play in our finals 18 if we get there.

Exactly, all it takes is a side to play a stinker in a prelim and all the years work is undone.

Once September hits its a whole new ball game, the H&A counts for nothing in the fourth quarter of a knockout final.

 

[Mningasimisonda]

He went to ground before picking up the ball so prior opportunity doesn't apply.

I don't think you can interpret a pick up like that in the wet as diving on the ball, especially when he's on his feet when tackled.

 

[PhatBoy]

Cunico stays

He's got more upside than the others. He and Fogarty showed enough. But they need to be better.

 

[Captain_Bender]

One has a statue outside the G the other will be forgotten in 50 years

Murdoch has been ok. Cops a worse rap than warranted imo.

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Too good richmond. More even across the list and well-coached today. Both coaches had their moments but overall Hardwick came out on top, although selection was Scotty’s biggest flaw today. Good showing and an entertaining match, richmond are a great team. Thankfully we have some upside and lots of things that can play out differently in future matches. Loved the effort from our captain, Stewart and Blicavs and Stanley wasn’t his usual ‘shite’

 

[Tiger Mopsy]

Taylor, Henderson, Menzel, C Guthrie, S Selwood, Ratugolea off the top of my head. Not all of them necessarily play if fit of course but it's a list nonetheless.

Yes it's a list, but would make you decidedly slower imo.

Better off sticking with what you got, but Selwood as a stopper would make you better no doubt

 

[PhatBoy]

Getting shat on by birds makes you a better player now?

Lay off the crystal pistol mate.

Like most dual Brownlow medalists, yes of course no one will remember him.

 

[Tigers_fan24]

whilst norf are irrelevant again

They’ve always been irrelevant

 

[Duskfire]

Taylor will play forward along with Menzel. Guthrie and Scott Selwood. Henderson I am not so sure but him being back means Kojo could probably play in the wing.

In any case all those players are easily better then the four listed. Our four bottom players aren’t there because if talent is all I am saying

There is also cockatoo but I am dubious if his body will ever be right
