Jaensch should take over his spot, LT down back to come in
I can almost guarantee that the club won't be making 5 changes this week, with 4 of them being unforced.
Walker out is a near certainty. Brown possibly, due to concussion (does anyone know how serious it was?). I doubt they'll make more than one "form related" (ie unforced) change. The loss to Port, 2 weeks ago, was much worse than what happened tonight - and that only resulted in 3 changes. No way they'll make 5 this time around.

|matty J up forward. I was saying this last week. Is a natural crumber, good kick on the move and runs forward of the pack well whilst also having decent lateral movement allowing him to buzz around at bottom of packs. Brodie Martin has to play also. And I mean play in the midfield mix changing up forward. The guy will make it just leave him there for ten weeks. Speed, ball carrier , good kick and lateral movement. He will average 20 possessions a game. We cant keep playing with Wright, Patrenko and Kerridge and also VB when he is back. Wright is not a ball carrier and needs to be made a tagger and with VB as a second as a maximum. The reason I say Wright is that he can offer us some offensive ball also. However this means no room for kerridge or Pets as we cant carry players who regularly don't pass 10 possessions. As for Wright he needs to move the ball quicker and stop looking sideways.
I agree we need ball carriers. Martin for Mckay however is a like for like but I would leave both in. Wright is not penetrating enough for my liking and Kerridge offers nothing in his football makeup that excites me. Would have done ok in juniors because he had a mans body but that is it. Running technique is not suited to Aussie Rules football. I would go the lad from glenelg for Wright and Martin to come in for patrenko or patrenko in the defense for Brown. Styop trying to turn defenders into forwards when jaensch is a natural forward and playede there in his early SANFL carreer.
Let me check here..
According to the AFC website, our leadership group consists of: Nathan van Berlo (Captain), Scott Thompson (vice-captain), Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane, Sam Jacobs and Jason Porplyzia.
Funny.. I don't see the names Reilly, Douglas, Mackay or Vince on that list at all. Senior players they may be - leaders they are not. It is our leadership group which is collectively letting the side down badly this year.
Of the 6 players who are actually in our Leadership Group: VB is currently injured; Sloane gets a pass; Porps has been so bad that he's been dropped; Jacobs could well be dropped next week if the club heeds the calls from BigFooty; Dangerfield is injured and averaging 20% fewer possessions than he did last year; Thompson cannot do all the work himself.
Of the players you erroneously labelled as leaders, Douglas has been in excellent form and would currently be top-3 in the Club Champion voting, along with the likes of Sloane, Rutten and Otten. The others haven't been in great form, but the key responsibility lies with the leadership group, which has collectively dropped it's bundle massively thus far this year.
Henderson is much maligned but we need his pace and that of Mackay. We must bring Brodie Martin in for more speed - the reason these guys arent playing well is that we dont have the fast legs to run with them and give support.We need ball carriers. Wright is not penetrating enough for my liking and Kerridge offers nothing in his football makeup that excites me. Would have done ok in juniors because he had a mans body but that is it. Running technique is not suited to Aussie Rules football. I would go the lad from glenelg for Wright and Martin to come in for patrenko or patrenko in the defence for Brown. Styop trying to turn defenders into forwards when Jaensch is a natural forward and played there in his early SANFL carreer. His three goals 1 point today in two quarters weer true of a natural crumber. His movement suits forward role . Pets on the other hand is a straight running defender.
I think we got excited a little early about jacobs
. He looks like Justin madden trying to play in the wrong era. Awful up forward and giving nothing around ground other than the odd tap. I am regretting losing Maric and Griffen now to be honest. Jacobs is really worrying me and I recall a mate saying last yeard he thought we were overarting Jacobs as he gave us little up forward and around the ground last year, however last year he got max value for touches
Out: jacobs
In: Graham
Hawthorns rucks aren't much, and sauce needs to find form. We take a stand at a relative low cost
Out: Brown, Tex
In: Johncock, johnson
like for like
Out: Petrenko
In: Lyons
Pets isn't involved enough, tries for too little result. Lyons for a look
Edit: might prefee bling over stiffy.

Kerridge offers nothing in his football makeup that excites me. Would have done ok in juniors because he had a mans body but that is it. Running technique is not suited to Aussie Rules football. Did not notice him at all today and just doesnt have it - I make that call right now
Brodie, we get the hint that you want to find a way back into the AFL team. It's probably time to accept that you're a very, very long way down the pecking order - particularly now that Crouch, Kerridge, Laird and Lyons have all officially gone past you. Be thankful that Nobes had a moment of temporary insanity last year and gave you a 2-year contract, because it will almost certainly be the only reason you're on an AFL list next year.
Kerrigde has to go. Wright is a tagger and that is it . Not penetrating enough to be non tagging footballer. Wright in kerridge role. Brodie in for Patrenko. Patrenk backlines for brown or Tambling into the team alternating through middle with Mackay and brodie alternating with Wright up forward
More likely..
OUT: Jacobs, Tex
IN: Graham, Johnston (fingers crossed they don't go with McSpudden)
Lyons replaces Brown, if the concussion is going to make him miss. Otherwise, Petrenko & Jaensch basically swap positions and we see whether or not Petrenko can actually play as a small defender, given that the small forward role appears to be beyond him.
Kerridge was very good last week against Footscray. Judd gave him a masterclass - but how many of our "taggers" have ever got the better of him? Rob Shirley is probably the only one. Kerridge was never going to win that contest in only his 3rd game, so why attack him for doing the best that he could under trying circumstances? It's called a learning process. Kerridge will learn from that and will be better for the experience in the long run. In the mean time, he should (and hopefully will) continue to gain selection until VB is fit to return.
Next week he'll probably be asked to run with Mitchell, who is nowhere near as quick as Judd. We can keep Kerridge, without having to sabotage the team by selecting Tambling or Martin.
What do you have against Brodie you uneducated !?*. Have you watched him play SANFL or train- No! I believe you don't even live in the state. He has been a sacrificial lamb of the Interchange which is the hardest role to play. Had some of the most impressive games of any crows player in his first year at club only to suffer a knee injury. THIS WAS STATED BY THE COACHES. HE NOW HAS TO COEM INTO THE SIDE AS A MIDFIELDER . We need to start playing players in their natural positions. I also said Jaesch should play forwardd last week and was shot down..... oops I think I was right again. Let me just tell you mate as you have really pissed me off over the last year. I have played for SANFL club, my father was a representative for his country for his chosen sport, I have played state competition in four sports so dont tell me how to judge talent. I have grown up around sport and come from a part of the world that has arguably the most talented sporting people in the world.
Hawthorn have that killer instinct, the moment we slip up we are going to get punished hard. Without Walker we have gone from totally screwed to royally screwed. Their defence will obliterate us, Birchall is going to get 50 possessions.

Maybe dial the dimwit down to three for your next post.
Corey Enright isn't in Geelong's leadership group.
I don't think we are going to see many changes.
The question is however, how longis the club going to put up with players who still under perform despite the change on coach?
And, are these blokes actually worth anything.

Ker ridge must play this week, so we can see what he has learned from yesterday.
Lyons isn't going to learn anything else in the SANFL.
