I think there is a banned poster with a similar user name with the same posting style who also posts nonsense at least half the time...... I wonder if there is a Fett family link?

I put that down to crouch, lynch and hendo coming back into the side, than structure.
Our structure is two KEY forwards, and a third tall in lynch, a small forward in betts, and two resting mids.
Sando has changed our strucure so he doesn't have to drop his buddy o pal. If Mckernan was putting up pods numbers, there is not a chance in hell he would have stayed in the team this long, and not a chance in hell he would be staying once our three forwards were fit.
How podsiadly wasn't dropped after the freo game was complete bias
Earlier in the year also, it was a disgrace when johnston got dropped. Im not a fan of johnston, but he played well in the first 2 games of the year. Pods played 2 absolute shockers, and johnston gets dropped. Completely biased selection
Pretty big call if you think Tippett can run over Walker

He takes marks in defence as a loose man, what an effort!You do realise he is a horrible loose man, and a bad field kick of the ball, so why does he float back there? It justifies him getting a game
Podsiadly doesn't have a defensive bone in his body, he cost us the game against carlton, and on the weekend got towelled up when he went back. Patton hadn't taken a mark all game, pods moves onto him, he takes three in 5 minutes

Geelong are equal second on points. They had the backbone to get rid of players that were just a waste of time. Both Chapman and Pods are playing for teams outside the eight, I'm sure Geelong are thinking they were wrong......
Both will likely not play a game after this year.
So let me ask you this, when it comes to october, and your looking back at the season. Both these teams would of likely not played finals, and they would of pumped games into podsiadly and chapman, which takes games away from the clubs future players, and ruins our structure in our case. So what is the point of doing that? We have not improved a player, we have brought in a 32 year old for one year so he can play forward even though we don't play finals? Geelong are laughing every week
You are totally correct to argue about the number of games etc. but then you shot yourself in the foot by conceding that Pods is, by the official statistics of the AFL, definitely, absolutely, irrefutably, the best contested mark in the crows team. You do understand the concept of 'averages'…don't you?
It is completely Podsiadly's fault that he averages more contested marks per game than any other Crow player. You really should have taken my advice weeks ago. QUIT WHILE YOU ARE BEHIND!!
Grammar. You develop it.

He is only averaging the most in the crows team because he had the opportunity to beat up on weak opposition. Walker hasn't had that luxury, and is 0.1 contested marks behind him.
You do understand the concept of 'averages' don't you? You can beef up your stats by taking contested marks against crap teams
Just quit

Small problem with saying that Walker is not mobile and can't run. He keeps up with the midfielders in terms of his running capacity. His mobility was always very good for a guy of that size and while this weekend was a poor game from him, you only have to watch his highlights to see that he is actually quite mobile still and can turn in a very sharp turning circle.

Time trials are overrated, walker doesn't cover ground well. If he gets back to his best then you are right, but at the moment he looks like rutten out there
He's a skillful power forward. There has never been the expectation that he would have the mobility of Eddie
Ok - so in the Lynch appreciation thread last year when you were arguing Lynch was better than Gunston, you did remove Lynch's stats from the GWS game when he kicked 10.... Didn't you?
You know because he was beating up on weak opposition and all.

Not the first couple of weeks he was back. This weekend, yes, but prior to that he was working all over the field so much so that commentators had continually referred to how well he was moving and how much up the ground work he was doing. For those of us who have watched him over a number of years it wasn't a surprise at his work ethic and how much running he does in a game. You think time trials are overrated for the simple fact that it disproves your theory. He has the tank to run with the midfield group, fact.

Hold the press guys! Player who comes back half from a knee reconstruction way through the season is slow!
His endurance is excellent. I'm not so certain about his acceleration, top speed, or his turning circle.
Ok, for the games in which Pods and Walker have both played…and only those games, Pods has taken 56 marks, Walker 48. I'm sorry I don't have the number of contested marks for you so take from that what you will. But as I understand, it matters not because you'd drop both Tex and Pods. Oh dear. Oh ****ing dear.
I'll wait with bated breath in anticipation of your next instalment.
Actually, no I won't.

Put it this way. Would you rather pump games into a McKernan who wont be on the list next year and have someone who can lose you the game on the field?
Or would you rather win games and possibly make the 8 with Podsiadly?
They are your two options in reality, as we are playing to the structure that's winning us games.
The same structure that has won Hawthorn games, and Sydney 11 straight games (you know those two sides sitting a few wins ahead of geelong?)
If you cant see what Pods offers, then you don't understand football.
For what is is worth, I have found that Walker tends to clunk marks as he strings games together, as was evident late 2012 whilst at his best.
I expect this to improve dramatically in the coming weeks.
After checking the stats, he average 1.9 in 2012, compared to 1.6 this year.
Me too and here's hoping!!
