Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Gold Coast - Rd17 Saturday 6 July

[Gasometer]

I was joking but I was reading a book where Malcolm Blight took the Geelong players after a loss to Norlane Water world, I'm not sure if it's even still there, instead of slamming them on the track, took them there and it actually worked. They were acting like little kids in a lollie shop. Then they came out and thumped Essendon by about 9 goals. But, it was Malcolm.

The equivalent of Wobbies World in its day

We already tried McKercher in that role and it didn't work fantastically.

I'd much rather see him get a bit of freedom on a wing or HFF.

Colby himself did very well back there, the backline as a whole didn't function because we were playing him, Sheezel and Fisher back there instead of just one. Harry's doing mid-fwd right now and we are significantly better for it, and Fisher obviously misses. With Fisher out, we need a rebounder there to line up the same way, and with Colby coming in it just makes sense.

If you get her there you can have a beer or an ice cream. But not both

Anyone else gets continuously annoyed that the mobile notification comes out before the story is actually available on the app?

It’s annoying. But swipe down for the notification and it will take you to the article

Why is pink named? We have kicked a score of 67 and 60 in back to back weeks. Clearly isn’t helping ‘structure ‘ as much as we were told.

Sheezel has been named in defense for every game this year, it means nothing

Well our supporters will not attend and they probably think Les Foote,John Dugdale,David Dench and Mark Lisle are still playing but we might get lucky the Jen Watt super area on level 2 wing might get full

Team sheets are irrelevant... not sure why anyone continues to read into these. Shiels was named on ball last week. Phillips on the wing against Melbourne. Sheezel has been named at half back last three weeks. Prooves nothing.

Interesting bench options to choose from for the sub with Stephens named on the ground

 

[amaz199]

Colby will predominantly play Fisher's position.

With no Wardlaw, Sheezel will get more midfield time.

 

[franjon]

I’ll be there so I won’t personally be embarrassed by whatever the crowd number is.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be thinking about it while I'm there.

People here are so dumb … what era are they living ? 1981?
Hardly no one ducking lines up how the team Is released !?
Besides… what does the bench mean these days? You don’t start on the ground perhaps but you are in a rotation within 3-5 min …

 

[RossHenshaw]

I would have dropped Sheils & put in Greenwood for this week & only until Wardlaw comes back next week. We are too small in height & weight in the midfield…

Put money on Curtis Taylor being our sub from that interchange bench.

Nah, Sheils will be the sub

Yep would’ve been the perfect week to debut Finnbar instead of pink

Or even go smaller and bring Duursma in

Shouldn’t be wasting games on the list clogger
