Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussions vs ..sigh... Geelong at the f**king bowling alley

[roos_fanatic08]

We should have the ascendency in the midfield. X should manhandle Edwards and they only have De Koning as backup.

When De Koning goes into the ruck we'll really stretch them forward of centre. Leaves them with really only O'Sullivan as a genuine KPD.

I don't see a good match up for Curtis either.

Very interesting game coming up. I don't think anyone with more than half a brain could expect us to win.

Could we be competitive? That would mean we'd need to put our big boy pants on. Let's see.

Agree... doubt we can do it without Wardlaw playing out of his skin. If we do manage to come close (or somehow do it), we're actually going places... Wardlaw, Goater, George, Hardeman, Urquhart, Goad, Whitlock, Dawson, (Archer) effectively still in the pouch. Flying compared to any time in last 26 years.

Actually looking ok.

I believe. It's never easy down at Pork Barrel Park, but even with resting Jorge, we still appear pretty strong all over the Park

Lot of Geelong supporters I know are very worried about this one, possibly proving your point.

I think we're a far better chance than we have been in years

Cause they're campaigners is why

's presser on Ch 10 news, hope Xerri saw it too, went out of his way too wrap up Edwards size, strength, and agression when quizzed how he would fare against big X, i will believe it when i see it.

 

[Hojuman]

Harness that May 2001 energy - we'd lost our first three matches abysmally, then went down to a waterlogged Sleepy Hollow and kicked five goals in the first quarter. Kingy in the long sleeves played dry-weather footy. I wasn't there but watched on tv. Anyone there in that freezing cold weather - I tip my hat to you!

Princess highway was flooded on the way home and we all had to go home via friggin Melton iirc. 5 saturated happy North supporters got back to Parkville around 9.10 p.m.

 

[Rod Stroker]

No Wardlaw while still playing Powell. Double whammy.

Don't expect we'll win.

What’s wrong with Powell?

Obviously I don’t pay close attention like you lot do, whenever I’ve seen him play he seems pretty tough with a booming kick. Am I missing something?

Hopefully Clarko shows the image of Dangerfield eating a souvlaki on the bench last time we met.

He's been puss so far this year, and frankly has under delivered across his career.
He's just another vanilla mid with no redeeming qualities.
E.g Wardlaw is a tackling machine who always brings pressure
Sheez has footy smarts with very good skills
Colby has great line breaking pace and a laser left foot
Powell has... a contract extension for no obvious reason

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

Curtis in the middle?
When we lack small defenders? Where do I sign?

This would be 4th mid and mainly CBA only.

Yeah he is mate - you better put two taggers on him

3rd round draft pick, he's yours.

First rounder or FO.

 

[fpm84]

3rd round draft pick, he's yours.

I mean, he’s certainly much better than Mitch Knevitt, who’s played 20+ games for us over a couple of seasons when we’ve been a top 4/2 team. So I’d do that trade in a heartbeat.

Lets just agree to swapsies for Humphries and call it a day mate.

Tom's played 98 games. I can remember 2. Deal.

 

[TruRoo]

Would’ve hoped George got his sickness out of the way Monday-Tuesday.

Ah well. The midfield isn’t the issue here. Geelong’s mids front run.

Not looking forward to Jeremy Cameron

I’d piggyback him down the highway if they did

 

[Rod Stroker]

Exactly. He's performances have been quite forgettable. We all remember the Melbourne game last year at Marvel. But nothing else.

Our go to whipping boys are playing okay. Powell is just next in line.

Can you remember any of Jordan Lewis?
