Jordan Clark has been named Geelong's medical sub for the second week in a row today.

I feel like if we play our cards right, we could bring him home for a reasonable price.

Wonder why he's fallen out of favour, seemed an absolute gun in his first year.

Too much of a front runner, perhaps? Reading the Cats board this week it sounds like Scott is very defence driven and demands that from everyone.

 

[InTheWings]

Brad Hardie mentioned a few weeks ago that Clark is gettable and wants to return home due to being frequently overlooked.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Gov has been a liability this year and Gaff has been off the pace. Both have value.

 

[mattyc75]

We need to draft strong ball winners,strong runners and strong tacklers

Time to start a serious discussion about best available mid with pick 7-10...

We need 3 quality midfielders coming through, at least.

Here's hoping Trew is one of them.

A few weeks ago I would have been dead against this. But today I feel like this could be the right way to go. Dont think Gov would want to go - he is on a good contract. Gaff is the one I reckon but his trade value would have already dropped considerably.

I would say his kicking which isn`t too bad but in Scott`s precise game plan Clark occasionally turns it over ..

I'm the same. I think Gov's days as a A-A CHB are over I don't see him being able to complete a full season, we need to cash in as soon as possible and I'm confident in the likes of Rotham and Brander now to take his position and we also have Harry Edwards who will become good with game time this season.

Gaff like Gov has been a great servant but he's gone missing too many times this season, think it's time to pull the trigger and get two first rounders for him as i'm sure he'll finish the season well.

It won't happen but it's nice to dream. We haven't really put any effort into drafting for a long time.

There's no way we trade Gov. He'll retire an eagle for life. He turned 29 9 days ago, is contracted for only 2 more years. His intercepting and pressure down there have covered up the lack of pressure acts and tackling from midfielders like Gaff and Sheed for years. He's also one of the few players on our team with a bit of aggression in him. He's not the problem

 

[Zurgblade]

Our forwards just struggle to find separation which leads to the ball hitting the deck, being contested and rebounding back.

Compare this to forward entries that the Geelong forwards were receiving and it looks like they kept strolling through for marks with little to no pressure.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Would be throwing out a second if needed to try and get Pat Lapinski out of the bulldogs. Good pace and skills would be great middle of the ground

Lipinski may be gettable this year, but if there's one strength he doesn't have it's pace. Dude is painfully slow, a lot of our mids just look quicker than they are due to the rapid ball movement

That's because there's no pressure coming from our midfielders when we turn it over in our half. I can't ever recall Gaff or Sheed running someone down. Our mids are chalk and cheese compared to Richmond's ferocious tackling to win the ball back.

FFS man. It's the midfield. Ball goes inside 50 so infrequently, and so often poorly. Allen, JK and JD deserve medals for not ripping the heads off the midfielders.

JD was playing for free kicks rather than contesting, he was a massive part of the s**t storm.
Mids went to s**t, but he was equally as bad. Actually pathetic.

 

[mattyc75]

I hope we move Venables on to the inactive list(or whatever its called?) And draft the hardest, most prolific ball winner in the state leagues. Even if hes 30 who cares.

Didn't contest, but had 4 contested marks.....

Kolojadzini pushed off the ball multiple times. He's twice the size.

Nice, all where when the game was cooked. His second quarter was awful, he was being pushed around and he's built like Tarzan

I agree, not sure he is ever going to play. If he does it will takes a year to get him up and about.

not in my books JD was solid all day and stood tall ..

Dude, the game was an avalanche after qtr time. He was consistent, 6 touches in each half.

Taking 4 contested marks and laying 4 tackles is giving a contest.
