Preview Geelong v Brisbane, Thursday 9 July at SCG

[Down at K Park]

Important, and I hope we attack at the start. My nightmare is we go for the negating, blanket from the start to absorb their attack. I can't see that holding up well. Attack, then regroup, then attack again. I think the guys are up for it. Make it a finals type game.
From a movie I recently rewatched, "They boys are itchin' for a scrap."

I would put money on it being a vs demons game style. Slow it down at all costs game. Scott would be scared they will cut us to pieces with speed.

Agreed - would be a good get. Wonder if he's come back to cold old Geelong?

 

[cats_09]

Genuinely thought we'd see a few changes because of the 5-day break and flights to 2 different states within 1 week

Wonder if we'll see any late changes

Me waiting for the FMD selection. View attachment 908326

Told you

 

[frggr]

Told you

You're on the selection committee aren't you? AREN'T YOU!?!

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Very surprised to see Gaz named.

Would’ve thought an interstate game, off a 5 day break, would be a good week to rest him.

Simpson will be delisted at the end of the season. This is a waste of a game that could have been given to a player with a future at the club whose development actually matters. Reminds me of the pointless games we gave Josh Cowan and Jesse Stringer towards the end of their time at the club.

I'll take that,not the in I hoped for but if Simpson goes alright it may deliver the same result,being pressure on all mids to put in every game.

If there is one thing I dislike about his coaching is that he doesn't seem to have much belief in their(the whole team) abilities. I think that was the thing that turned Richmond around, the belief and trust. Train them up and let them do their thing. I think the slight lag in desperation at the bounce compared to oppos(who are well motivated against the Cats) is caused by overthinking or overworriedness about their assignments.
There is talent, let it rip.

Very happy to see Sam Simpson get a run

Hmm. Maybe say dangerfield and your 1st pick...... ok ill see myself out.

 

[FredLeDeux]

No, but it was just an obvious selection, I can't understand why anybody ever thought otherwise.

Pretty sure the club is high on Simpson so we'll see what they do with him

You think the use of Homer in my post was random.

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Very happy for Sam to get another crack, he deserves an opportunity.

I think he might surprise a few here.

Imagine the stick Chris will get if he gets injured.

They rated Cowan highly too for some unknown reason.

I just don't see it with Simpson.

That Zuthrie is still in their consideration makes my blood run cold.

 

[Spearman]

as to Simpson - 3 questions: what is his best position?, where has he been playing in the VFL?, where will they put him tomorrow?

 

[Grimoz]

If we are to have any hope this week Dangerfield needs to pull the finger out of his ass and actually find some form, has been poor since the resumption.

Mid, mid, back pocket.
