for a second when he said In a mid-week interview after the Crows game that Danger could have pushed to play v Richmond (thus how minor his hammy strain was) and that they were just being conservative.

The evidence would suggest that he was being somewhat glib with the truth......

I wonder if we look at putting kroeger on the inactive list and taking 2 msd picks?(i think we can up until monday).

Was told that Stanley’s injury was significant. Cats are hopeful he’ll be after the bye, as in a few weeks after.

But I’m reliably informed he’s a fair way off. Like latter rounds.

Remind me, what was his injury?

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Medium term at geelong?? See you next year maxy

 

[cats_09]

Remind me, what was his injury?

Knee to the head - fractured eye socket and when Stanley shared a photo from home, about a week after surgery, his eye was still firmly shut

In fairness this is exactly why he shouldn’t be commenting on it, because he has zero say in when players are fit to play. It is entirely up to the medical team… and if he guesses wrong, people complain.

Sounds like vision problems to me. For me that settles that we need to take naismith (or downie or a similar ruck) on wed night..ceglar doesnt have the gas to go every week until say round 18 and we cant cook blicavs rucking one out. Need to bring in another ruck option for the next few weeks.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Naismith a big chance I think. Might push out Ceglar for a list spot EOY

A bloke with three knee recos is more bullet proof than Ceglars 80 yo body.

When I was watching the game and Ceglar went to ground, it seemed to take ages for him to get up. You could see him in the background 20 secs after ball went still on his knees on the ground.

Im not sure if naismith lasts beyond the year because of his age but for the next 6 months we need him i think as he has more gas in the tank than ceglar.

If we’re forced to play Ceglar for a few more games he’ll need Forest Gump leg braces by about Rd 15.

Reckon he’s got less than 10 games of footy left in him.

I've never seen someone playing as cooked as Ceglar is, I mean credit to him for fronting up and having a go but he basically can contest a tap, is gassed after a quarter and offers nothing round the ground. It's not his fault, he's just limited and trying his hardest

 

[Schmegg]

Been a really bad year for eclectic injuries, last season everything went mostly right on that front. Meniscus tears, facial fractures, busted nuts, the dreaded navicular bone (that ended Matt Egan's career). Not sure if Maxy will be back in a hurry and I sure wouldn't be rushing him back, maybe it is time to get some kids in different possies game time, just to freshen up the list. Picking up a mid-year ruckman is vitally important, as per everyone else Ceg's busts a gut, but has no tank and his legs are shot.

Yes I agree. I think some people in here have misinterpreted my Ceglar posts as me taking a potshot at the bloke.

I'm genuinely not, and I think he's dead set playing his guts out. But he is cooked and too many people just focus on whether he can get a hand on the ball at ruck contests. Outside of that, he is a liability. I think the coaches know it but we just don't have any other options right now. Watching on TV can be very misleading. I've watched him very closely at the ground at a few games, and I feel sorry for him with the way he's unable to cover the ground and get to contests.

I was speaking with someone who was at Optus for the Fremantle game. They lost count of the amount of times he was caught behind play not able to get to a ruck contest, and it meant that we often had Blicavs sprinting to provide back up, or even a few times on TV I saw someone obscure taking a ruck contest and being outpointed because Ceglar couldn't get there.

It's genuinely staggering that you can be going at the capacity he is right now and still be playing in the elite football competition in the country. Given where his body is at, he looks like he would be right at home getting around in a state league comp, where his experience, size and nous would cover over most of the yawning deficiencies in his game aerobically.

As you say, it's not as if he's not giving it his all. It's simply the case that the body has very little left to give that can approximate adequacy at the elite level.

Cats superstar eyes round 12 return

FRUSTRATED Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield is hopeful of returning from a hamstring injury next week, ruling himself out of Saturday's clash against Greater Western Sydney.

Dangerfield has been sidelined since round eight, the club taking a conservative approach with the 33-year-old superstar.

"Certainly the plan is to be right and ready to play next week," Dangerfield told SEN on Thursday.

"I'm around the mark but it’s just getting days in the legs and high-speed metres in.

"It's a more conservative route which kind of makes sense with hamstrings I suppose.”

Heading into the round 11 clash at GMHBA Stadium, the defending premiers have lost their last two matches to sit seventh on the ladder.

The losses to Richmond and Fremantle followed a five-game winning streak after a poor start to the season with Chris Scott

Nobody is saying he's best 22. Everyone is aware Stanley can give us a lot more.

But currently with no midfielders, we can't have Blicavs as a pure ruck. Perhaps the SDK ruck idea can be a solid stop gap as we do have plenty of defenders, albeit in a struggling system where maybe guys like J.Henry and SDK will sharpen it up.

We're devoid of many options right now. Esava in the ruck? Seems self defeating based on his progression in defence.

Naismith in the draft maybe. It's a big problem area for sure but I find it pointless to spend the focus on how bad Ceglar is when so many capable players are not performing near their best, and doing so would have a greater achievable impact in the short term.

We are a good chance next week with Dangerfield back, along with Rohan and SDK while Stengle and Close ideally are hitting their straps.

Bulldogs still haven't beaten many teams of note yet. Great midfield and not a whole lot else.
