He’s been okay. There have been worse offenders.

I thought he was a defender now?

2011, we took Cavanagh

May as well have just passed..

So, like, worked one week (where our pressure was great). Then the next three games, well, Cox was well beating him before he moved forward, was okay on Weideman and was smashed by Roughy quite frankly. Can we move him forward again, especially with Daniher out for a while?

Leave him in defense and see if we can lay a tackle in our forward 50 for once. I'm not sure who the unlucky Carlton player will be who gets caught in there but you never know.

I think part of it might depend on who is around him. First couple of weeks in defence he had Hartley playing the tall shut down role and Hurley as an intercept, now Ambrose and Goddard are down there and we seem to have four talls all getting in each others' way.

I think it's about whether or not we have pressure up the field. Play him forward, will be our best chance at kicking a winning score. He'll eat Jones/Rowe for breakfast.

He’s a good forward

But my god he’s a superb defender

 

[PhoenixBonez]

He was the reason Geelong had no marks inside 50 until the last 5min.
Well him and that our mids actually applied pressure... makes the defenders look a lot better!

 

[Rack Watts]

Amazing how good this guy is when the midfield works like it should.

 

[jmoo wan]

i love him so much it hurts.

Good reminder last night of his quality as a defender. What a pro.

Shouldn't be moved from the back half IMO.

Cale's hands were forged at that joint Thor got Stormbreaker from.*

Did the job on Reiwoldt but had zero influence in terms of going third up and intercepting or killing contests. Just doesn’t have the mobility to do both anymore.

Still unsure why we didn’t play Hurley on Reiwoldt and free Hooker up a bit. Prefer Hooker zoning off and Hurley has towelled up Jack many times.

Love Hooksy but he too is coming to an end.

Hey? Two weeks ago against the Cats he looked All Australian. His last three opponents have done nothing.
