not arguing either, just pointing out that although our rucks are going to get beaten, they're still relevant. I don't think there will be that many worries with the rucks resting forward, Taylor usually times his move forward whenever the back 6 is on top of things or have the suitable...

but for how much longer though? He'll be 30 by the start of next season

Vardy and Blicavs aren't just going to be running around willy nilly, they will be running with one of those rucks at all times as well

Lonergan to Pavlich, Rivers to Mayne, Enright to Ballantyne, Guthrie/Hunt to Walters, Mackie to help out Rivers and Lonergan if need be while Podsiadly will drop back in defense whenever Taylor shifts forward.

not sure if true but rumors circulating Rioli's ankle is far worse than originally speculated and he will miss the remainder of the year because of it. ....If he is out, I think it's just an excuse to get him as far away from finals as possible given he's an epic bed shitter.

Cats just better all round athletes though, Freo have many plodders who play above themselves just as St Kilda did for years because of the way they are well drilled and coached. Take away their direction and they are an ordinary football team. Wonderful draw this year too, got us as exactly...

good luck! Smack those overrated brown & gold flogs into the ground :mad: Brereton, Parkin, Crawford, Dunstall......I wanna see em make up excuses galore during the week as to why they lost.

have to be honest, twerking isn't much of a dance move used down here on the peninsula. Rarely seen it utilized at the clubs, more of a Brazilian/Samba flavour if anything and if any girl began dancing like that with me...I doubt I'd be able to control Richard which unfortunately has a mind of...

I'm not sure about you but when I see Bartel in defense, I tend to feel more negativity than positivity, not because he's a risk or anything but because he's a waste in that area of the ground when his decision making and pure football brilliance can impact us through the middle and up forward...

I'm just over it man, the side is re-building before our very eyes and while it's perfectly sound to suggest we give certain players extra time to develop, we are also forcing the hand of other very talented players who may get cut at seasons end because we hold hope for a Mitch Brown or a Trent...

Can he piggyback Mitch Brown on his way out of the door? Mitch is very vulnerable after a grueling day of weights and would be too tired to walk himself.

can't help but feel West and his manager have already been looking at other options, just cannot see him sticking around after the way he's been treated this season and when I say 'treated' it is justified because West simply did not do enough at senior level to warrant staying in the side as he...

West is used as our no.1 ruck because Vardy, McIntosh & Simpson are recovering from their respective injuries. He plays ok and is helped out by Blicavs in the process. By the midway mark of the season, Simpson & Vardy are now ready to play and West is immediately dropped back to the magoo's...

How does Mitchell finish 6th? If you compare him to Jack for example, apart from averaging around 4 more touches every game, his output is not as great when you look at the tackles, contested possessions, scoring contributions and clearances and I'd have him ahead of Mitchell going by this...

maybe but I trust the coaches decisions as strange as they seem from the outside. If Geelong can't beat Fremantle in a final and with home ground advantage then it's best we exit immediately as they won't be going any further. I'm confident they not only win it though but they actually belt...

maybe Poodle will be an enforcer of some sorts :D

reading the last few pages, most of us seem to be scratching our heads as to why Guthrie is the emergency. Not an over exaggeration to say he is our most assured kick from the back-line and this year he began adding the marking to his game which only makes the decision to leave him out even more...

he hasn't played for like 3 months, even if he does play, he won't be anywhere near his best and his overall output won't be any different to what Silvagni has been doing the last month.

may have more to do with Fremantle as opposed to Guthrie v Hunt. I do agree though, Guthrie would be a really good match for Walters but Ballantyne may be a little too much of a handful as he's constantly in your face and niggling, something Hunt wouldn't mind as he likes that style of game...

but he takes no marks, kicks no goals and apart from his 20 hit-outs per week, what is the use of that when we can play 2 rucks who are capable of playing multiple positions and do not slow us down as they have greater agility

good change, prefer Vardy to West :thumbsu:

Hawkins is playing which really gives me extra confidence despite many concerns on the board and with Johnson rules out for Fremantle I think odds will shorten over the coming 24 hours so will place my bets right now. I'm backing Geelong and Richmond to win @ odds of $2 in a multi bet. Money...

anyone having a punt this weekend?

would have loved to see more footage of Coleman re-appear. I know they recovered some footage just recently (4 mins worth) but to see some of those famous marks he took would have been the wholly grail of video.

Hawthorn fans get very nervous this time of the year. You will notice how quiet many of the arrogant posters earlier in the year have now become. Simply put, Hawthorn fans realize this is their last legitimate chance to secure a 2nd premiership in 5 years. This is not footy fans saying this...

Rioli just has a McIntosh kind of body not suited to footy. The more minutes he plays, the worse off he becomes. Be a shame if he missed as he needs to deliver this time after shitting the bed in 2 of 3 finals last year.

Possibility of going out in straight sets is very high for Freo. Ross senses it too

West's leaping ability seems to have deteriorated, either that or he's using a different technique in the ruck. Has anyone else noticed? Stoppages it's an obvious choice, West is clearly better around the ground in those contests but Vardy gives us a key forward option while Blicavs gives us...

Selwood was bloody terrific in that round 2 game however, he only influenced the result after halftime as everyone in the Geelong side was relatively poor during the first half. Selwood, Chapman, Christensen....that trio went nuts and helped Geelong snatch a 4 point victory.
