Changes vs Geelong

[Heaps of fun]

Firrito?

I already jinxed you by backing you, but this sort of thing does not help.

He's been good this year. Played big parts in our wins over Sydney and Freo. Better than McMahon until Macmillan is fit again anyway.

Firrito over Mullet against the Cats at Simmonds/Skilled/Kardinia is a good selection I think, especially considering Mullet's form over the entire season so far. And Wood gets to continue to work on maintaining his lead in the VFL coleman

It appears as though the Cats supporters aren't entirely happy with their changes tonight. Might get a late change from them tomorrow?

Good to see the club finally acknowledge that the subterfuge of naming Lachie in the forward pocket wasn't working.

I know someone who's spewing about it. :in jest:

Fingers crossed he does a job. From the outside looking in he just looks a fish out of water given where you're going. A bit like Matt Thomas was with us in 2013.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Happy with the change. Mullett has been struggling and Wright looked very focused down back last week. Spud's big body gives us a contested edge down back which I think we'd need over McMahon's more cerebral approach. Would like Bastinac as sub again.

I'm also happy with spud. He is a good selection when a game isn't under the roof or fast.

He gets exposed for pace at etihad, but in a tight tough contest, against what looks like a slow Geelong side it's the right call.

Feeling confident.

Played a big part in the roofless Freo and Sydney games as Heaps of fun said. Hopefully will thrive again tomorrow night under pressure in an important game. I think Wright will be sub this week however, just going by Brad's presser.

Says Mullett was overlooked, rather than not available

He hasn't been name in the VFL though which is strange if he was merely overlooked.

 

[TheKanga]

Hopefully spud can play like he did against Freo!

 

[shinboner spiggs]

happy with that. chill ya grills about mullet, his form was poor anyway and if he is injured then vfl form is a great thing for him to achieve first.

 

[trooroo4life]

So Fishy plays twos?. Would of thought he would be straight back in. Especially with the pace of their small forwards.

Could become a very important player come finals.

Every time i see firrito in the side i think to myself we have problems.
But based on this year to his credit he has been okay. Better than Mcmahon anyway.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Probably the worst side on paper Geelong have put out this year.

All of a sudden my bad feeling has quadrupled.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I think we'll win?

yep. the odds are stacked well in our favour.

not good.

 

[scooby1279]

Wright sub?

Think Ian Perrie.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Wright sub?

basti again? needs to fight for his position again

 

[Augustine]

I think it's going to be Wright's turn to be sub

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Think Ian Perrie.

stringer for 4 goals, or wherever he plays does a lot of things good in that area

 

[Ischenko]

Totally irrelevant to the topic but this is the most on-point and...uh...cerebral description of a footballer I've ever read.
Brilliant work HOF.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

We should nickname him The Game.

 

[tazaa]

Mullet hasn't been setting the world on fire and both of the inclusions did their job. I'd make him earn his spot back. (realise this won't happen)

Good call. I think his form with injury left alot to be desired.
