Past Dean 'The Difference' Towers - delisted 2018. COMING SOON - The Festival of Deano

[melbournehammer]

Playing a lot of spuds at Geelong and North these days. Simply get by because their top 6 carries them through every game. If any one of those top 6 fail to perform, they lose, every time.

I actually think this is the case for the entire finals with the exception of GWS. Its why I actually hate the fact that weve got them in the QF as I think they are a very good chance of going all the way until the GF.

Its our top six that is carrying us through a fair bit as well. Every team has a fair number of role players and that is how it is supposed to work.

so we all love mcglynn again? Fickle bastards

To be fair.
When Benny plays like that it is pretty easy to feel the love.

 

[bedford]

McGlynn can also play a shut down role & he has some real mongrel in him which we lack.

He showed F A mongrel in the 14 GF

I could have kicked 5 against that team richmond put out.

 

[scaryness]

Always goes back to the 2014 GF; where we only had 2 competent players all day. But Benny was definitely the one to single out. /s

Can't have a discussion about McGlynn without "yeah, but 2014".

True

But cant have a discussion without him being the one who missed out on a flag


Just play like the weekend thats all i want, his mongrel and endevour up and about

At time he has looked gone this year

 

[bedford]

He should have been knocking them around.

Not on topic here but geez I think young Naismith has a little bit of mongrel in him. I like it.
Now all he has to do is pick Mummy up & dump him.

They are, there's no doubt about that, but it's also the middle 10 that are dragging us through as well. When Franklin couldn't get a goal, or even get near it, it was the midfield and the lesser lights keeping the scoreboard ticking over, and players like Aliir Aliir and Mills keeping us in games.

So while we rely heavily on our top 6, we also rely quite heavily on the entire team performing well with minimal passengers. Teams like Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast have managed to cruise through at times simply because their top 6 has been unstoppable, or their talent has exceeded any of their opponents.

He might be in the sprint ?

 

[bedford]

Thank god , I hope he wins the sprint

 

[Sanecow]

I just hope he runs in the right direction.

 

[Number37]

My sister calls him Diarrhea, sh!t that can run fast.

Sinclair and towers for a fourth rounder? Anyone...?

 

[sataris]

Sinclair and towers for a fourth rounder? Anyone...?

Towers > Sinclair

 

[Dangas]

Towers > Sinclair

Lineball, they both lack footy smarts.

 

[The Swans Blog]

Won't get anything for Towers and I'll be surprised if he's drafted again by any club.

Can't move on Almost yet. Probably lose Nankervis since he can't get a game.

 

[Tedeski]

Come on guys. Give thee boys a break. They have represented us & contributed in games in our year to date.

Be nice! We're in a GF.

Naismith is one injury away from Nankervis being a best 22 player. If Nankervis was a betting man, given Naismith's history, he'd stick around. Not to mention Tippett.

If Nankervis was still behind Sinclair, then it would be mad for him not to move. But now he's apparently ahead in the pecking order, it makes a lot more sense for him to stay and compete for his spot, if for no other reason than to increase his value and likelihood of getting games elsewhere in 2018 or beyond.

Yes miss!

Thoughts on moving Towers into the midfield if he re-signs?
Our midfield is undersized and slow, he addresses both those problems.
If he works hard and applies himself, no reason why it can't happen.
*waits for abuse*
