Two monster tackles
Henry on sicily in the first.
And the absolute ripsnorter from parfit in the last. If there was a tackle of the year comp the parfit one would be up there.
Changes are too defensive. Losing danger, stanley and mennagh reduces our attacking options.
Atkins, parfit, clark and bruhn all in the one midfield is awfully ploddy. Seriously lacking some speed.
But we are only playing hawthorn. So shouldnt matter.
Easter monday is not on the weekend. Thats part of the problem that makes the weekend boring.
For interstate supporters who can only travel on long weekends like this weekend the game is at the worst time because you literally have to rush to the airport after the game to catch the last flight...
We need to look more at stats. Not less at stats. 95 percent of the game can now be evaluated through stats alone. And the error margin for getting the other 5 percent right is probably so high its not worth even considering.
if not through statistics how do you evaluate his insane consistency...
Geelong won their first 15 games in 2011. And then recorded some of the greatest smashings in the second half of the season with the third biggest being a 100 point win against the reigning premier. We only lost games after top 2 was already a foregone conclusion.
Geelongs 2008 home and away...
Looking at his stats over the past year and I don't see consistency. Plenty of games where he only get 10-15 touches and plenty of games where he got over 26 touches. That's large variation for a player and thus inconsistency.
But what he has become is an awfully good player. Early signs are...
Best game ive seen blicavs play in probably 2 years. Was excellent. But he wasnt even in our top 2 players tonight in one of his best ever games. Best player in the league :think:
We were a tackling machine tonight and not one single holding the ball free. How is it possible? Do umps really only pay them when the crowd yells ball?
Great start.
Booked a holiday again in september this year (due to kids holidays). The last 3 times Ive done this we have made a prelim, a gf and won a premiership.
We are looking pretty good. To win in adelaide without brun, duncan, guthrie and atkins missing from the mids is a huge effort...
Wow thanks didnt realise he did that. Will show his brother.
And yes he really does rate Malarkey as good as Scarlett. Has mentioned it numerous times.
Sadly just informing you that Fredleduex passed away last night. He went to hospital just over a week ago and unfortunately never left. It was all quite sudden. Only found out he had a terminal illness a couple of days ago.
He was a mad Geelong supporter all his life along with his 3 younger...
We did pay overs for cameron. His value when we drafted him doesnt change after the fact. He was coming off a poor year and was suffering from injury issues.
Edit - just realised this is a 2 year old post. Has it really been this long since anyone has posted here? I guess we are rarely wrong now :)
2011 was the best side we have ever had.
Our spine was a bit weak in 2008. Lonergan at full foward because hawkins wasnt ready after we lost ablett the year before. And a first year taylor as the centre half back who was also a bit green after we lost Egan.
