As of right now which player can your team least afford to lose?

[Luv_our_club]

Nankervis. Our only other options are Soldo, Hampson and Chol

Grigg too.

Ours would be Mitchell or McEvoy or Sicily i think, but it wouldn't matter much as Clarko has a way of replacing players, avoiding over reliance.

 

[simba_]

no Port posters yet - probably obvious we already lost ours (Ryder). i wouldn't like to imagine losing Wines or Dixon for obvious reasons

Why did you quote my post?

Sorry, was on my phone and must have clicked the wrong one.

 

[Munich]

Surely Menzel over him

Hawkins takes two defenders and makes room.

He's an important decoy.

 

[Madness101]

I can only imagine if the few top end talent of Carlton get an injury. Curnow, Cripps, Kreuzer and Murphy ( Who has already had 1 week off). Imagine that team against a fully fit Sydney team @ the SCG or GWS. Jesus.

 

[Coaster2012]

WC has the most obvious answer in the league. So much so that we are a finals team with him and aren't without him.

 

[AFLOnline]

Acres, maybe?

 

[BPikkers]

Docherty / Matty Kruezer / Marc Murphy / Marchbank for such a young team in the middle of a full on rebuild with over 42 list changes in 3 years.






Oh hang on.

Here we go......

LOL @ Geelong supporters listing everyone except Dangerfield

Hasn't been that crash hot yet this season. It's actually not that funny.

 

[footyfan1978]

Docherty. If not him Murphy. If not him, if Kruezer strained a muscle and plays 50% for weeks on end as our back up rucks injured anyway. Lucky for us, none of that will happen after letting Gibbs go.

Thanks Perthboy, oops sorry Sydneyboy, great thread.

Not as funny as a Melbourne supporter who thinks he or she knows more about Geelong's list than Geelong supporters.

So imagine how much Geelong might have beaten Melbourne by in R1 if Dangerfield had played

 

[SCRAY72]

With Libba out for the season. I would say Jack Macrae.

To be honest I disagree as while Buddy is important our forward line can function without him, even if it is no where near as scary. Without Sinclair we have no ruck division at all.

That's true, but a team could manufacture a game style without a competent ruckman if the midfield functioned at a high enough level. Even Sinclair just provides an honest contest in the ruck, rather than any kind of advantage.

You don't win many games without a decent forward line. That doesn't mean you have to have a dominant tall forward kicking most of the goals but you do need a legitimately strong target for smaller players to feed off, if that's the way you're going to build your forward line. And even if we had another tall body to stick in the forward line to create a contest, we don't have the quantity or quality of small players that, say, Richmond or Hawthorn have.

Ripper call mate

Dees just unlucky one of five games Ablett's gonna play this year was against us.

But keep patting yourself on the back- you beat Melbourne by three points, very impressive!

Not as funny as a Melbourne supporter who thinks he or she knows more about Geelong's list than Geelong supporters.

Geelong finished 10th the year before Dangerfield was drafted and 3rd the year afterwards.

But keep pretending Geelong have depth if it makes you feel better.

Duncan and Menzel played 24 and 19 games respectively in 2016 (played 11 and 2 in 2015) and Zac Smith took over number one ruck duties from Blicavs in 2016, but nah, all the improvement was because of Danger.

Incisive analysis there

 

[Heaps of fun]

Probably Ben Cunnington.

Wasn't meant to be an in-depth list discussion. Just pointing out that any Geelong supporter that thinks arguably the best player in the game is less important than ******* Tom Stewart is an absolute moron.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Jarman Impey after today's injury news...

 

[PhatBoy]

LOL @ Geelong supporters listing everyone except Dangerfield

Um, not sure if you’ve noticed or not but our back 6 at the moment is:

Thuohy, Henry, Bews, Cunico, Kolodjashnij and Stewart.

Our midfield is Selwood, Selwood, Dangerfield, Blicavs, Kelly and Menegola.

So yeah, lol away but at least try and have some concept of what a team needs most.

I think overall Nathan jones is your best player but who would you prefer to miss a game, he or Gawn?

 

[PhatBoy]

Thanks to an errant kick from Gawnie.

But in any case we just got hammered by Hawthorn, in the wet, by over 10 goals. Our two victories were against North and Brisbane. Beating us means nothing.

You're not making finals without Dangerfield.

Maybe not.

We aren’t beating anyone with our current back 6 if you take our either of Stewart or Thuohy
