Finally we make a sensible decision with a veteran.

JK gonna kick a billion on the Dockers next week.

Did Jones travel, or are they counting Shuey in the 24?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Haha inb4 Edwards in for JK

Harry will be in for Vardy before he's in for JK. I hope.

Jones flew

 

[squashface]

Shuey late in

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

I never thought we'd be going to Geelong without Shuey, Yeo, Hurn, JK and Ryan and still feeling like a genuine chance of causing an upset. I'm not confident we'll win, and yet it still feels like we're a bigger chance than we have been in a bloody long time.

 

[Rowan18]

Good call. Gives him a rest and opens up 9ur forward line. I am now dead set convinced we win this one.

 

[squashface]

Brayden time

 

[Cuzz09]

Edwards to FF. Shake it up

[Biggie]

Sensible decision

 

[woosha24]

Blind Freddy saw this change coming.

Could work out - smaller, narrower ground so one less key forward = the remainder dont get in each other's way?

Oscar to strut his stuff and give Darling a good spray for not honouring him as the "primary forward target" at some point.

 

[matt_bas]

If we play Ainsworth ill throw up

 

[Truckosaurus]

Hopefully Shuey gives the boys a real rev up because otherwise I'm not sure flying is a great call while recovering from surgery. But we've always been pretty careful with his hamstrings so I'm sure they know what they're doing.

 

[Coasters7]

Shuey late in

Don’t tempt our medical staff

 

[jesterwester]

I’m not averse to resting JK a few times a year especially away so not upset with him missing, although he will be missed in our forward line.

Don’t lack for height though so Oscar and Darling permanently forward with Brander, Waterman & Waterman rotating through gives us plenty of options.

So for mine, Jones in for Kennedy and perhaps Ainsworth for O’Neill with the one of those as the sub.

Alec's back?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

BUT BUT BUT HE WANTS TO PLAY

 

[Mulldogg]

Gov forward, Hedwards into the 22 in the backline. You know it makes sense

[Altum Volantes]

When was the last time we beat the cats at Geelong? Was it 2006?

‘Twas 1906 actually, a young Shannon Hurn did a great job on Gary Ablett Snr - Polly Farmer had the chance to win them the game inside the last minute but Dean Irving came out of nowhere with the big smother and we held on for the win. Great memories.

It might be an extreme response to going too tall, but I like it!
