Finals Wildcard

[adamgreen]

Taking into account that I expect a high standard from our top 3 players: Selwood, Dangerfield, Enright, I think this September could be a period where Dan Menzel stamps himself and showcases his talents. He is a difficult match up and often hits the scoreboard. Hawkins is the obvious avenue to goal but if Menzel can play a solid support role I think it will go a long way towards ensuring Geelong get to the first Saturday in October!

So who is the player you think is the Cats wildcard for the finals series?

 

[Vdubs]

Stanley. At his best, an impossible matchup. Good mark, genuine speed, goal sense, ruck work.
Like you, my selection is MENZEL; said that elsewhere, but as an option, Stanley.

#PFD has been waiting for this moment.

But is he a wildcard?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Cowan. Never lost with him in the side.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Hawkins can play the decoy. Was watching the replay of cats vs saints from this year and Linc McCarthy had a ripping game. He could snag a few

 

[leorex]

Menegola

think he will be over looked by opposition and be more free than the "stars" of the side
of course it can only happen for about two games before opposition coaches clue on

then we should be in the GF

my wishful thinking

But is he a wildcard?

He's frickin wild m8.

 

[STP18]

Chris Scott's tactical nous.

Hawk is my finals wildcard

2009 a young Hawk kicked a couple of crucial goals (as dubious as one was)
2011 he had a huge finals series, was great every game
2014 he almost singlehandedly got us over the line against North exploding in the last quarter

He kicked a bag against the Dees and will be feeling great about life in general of late... look out
The big man could carry us to a flag

 

[Lana]

McCarthy is best placed to do a Max Rooke impersonation

 

[xtatik222k]

I'm big on Menegola. If this guy can avoid injury, he could be huge.

 

[Trek]

Stanley for wildcard, Menegola for X factor. Opposition will be too focused on Dangerwood and allow the former two off the leash.

 

[JohnZ]

McCarthy is best placed to do a Max Rooke impersonation

Kick a goal after the siren to make the bookies happy?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Rhys Stanley. No ruckman is capable of going with him.

If he goes forward and starts converting those clunked marks into goals, look out.

 

[you pick one]

Motlop if he's played forward often enough.

 

[bulletproof]

The Motlop finger twirl needs to come back.

 

[Willo_]

Rhys Stanley. No ruckman is capable of going with him.

If he goes forward and starts converting those clunked marks into goals, look out.

If he starts clunking marks like he did a few weeks back at KP he could tear a game to shreds

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I think Menzel is the obvious one. Hawkins also seems to really lift for big games.

 

[catamaran]

I will go the flip side and say Taylor - I feel his season has been gathering momentum and he has a history of great moments on great occasions. Could be the difference in a close final.

I fear it will be the same old story though - our second tier mids will be make or break for our finals campaign. Here's to hoping one or two of them can step up

 

[Matthew Jelley]

The Smith and Stanley combo will have a couple of massive games between them and show that good big men are the key for finals

 

[ChookNorris]

Mitch Duncan. Best kick in the comp, a bevvy of elite ball winners getting it out to him. Probobly hoping for to much since he's horribly put of form, but it would be great.

 

[Seeds]

Cowan. Never lost with him in the side.

That doesn't make him a wildcard but a lucky charm.

Best kick in the comp?? Are you serious? Even at his best he ain't in the top 20.
