Let’s revisit in 4 months then..

Do you have a Time Machine?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

There's a bit of reverse mozzing going on from Cats fans.

Because some of us give them a chance of winning?
Righto..

My next sentence started with "Bombers can absolutely win" so I'm disappointed to have upset you like this.

My thoughts entirely….only variation might be swapping Simpson for Bowes, but I thought Bowes shied some class last week.

No chance of Bowes being dropped

Fort initiated the trade because we never played him, choosing Esava ahead of him or anyone else. You dismiss him yet say he had a good run last year with the eventual Prelim finalists. We know better than Brisbane? Our ruck policy and recruitment has been terrible for a decade, probably because Scott undervalues the position.

It's not Scotty's fault that Darcy Fort was given ample opportunity to break into the team but could never manage it. I might add that we very much do know better than Brisbane; we are the premiers.

I live in Brisbane. I like Darcy Fort. I watch him play in person more than most. When Brisbane need him, he comes into their team, takes on the ruck duties, kicks a few goals, does his job with grace. But we ask more from our C-List players than Brisbane does, so Fort not being able to earn his way into our A-Team meant he had to go.

Scotty doesn't undervalue the ruck position. He wants a ruck who is also an elite back. Or a ruck who is also an elite mid. If the ruck part isn't as good as the defence part or as good as the midfield part then it is a concession Scott is willing to make. Given our development of multifaceted players like Blitz and even Hawkins and his ability to monster oppo players in the ruck, I can see why Scott likes what he likes. We expect a lot from our players. I respect it.

As for this game, I don't rate Ceglar at all. I hope his wife has a baby every week he is named to play, although I am sure she is happy that is not biologically possibly because ouch! (In all seriousness congrats to the Ceglar fam on bubs.)

If I never see Ceglar in the hoops again I would be more than okay with that.

stan’s out there, bemoaning is letting him go! The guy wasn’t good enough and he still wouldn’t get a game with us, Celglar is a way better option. He’ll never set the world on fire but he’s a decent enough back up.
Fort May have played finals for Brisbane last year, but I believe that we beat them by 80points in the Prelim… hmm join the dots on that one!

Staying on track, we should win this and win it comfortably, Essendon are up and coming but we are a better and have found our mojo again.
Cats by 40pts with a win that won’t count for David King because something something stats

Nail on the head. Excellent paragraph and explanation.

No. We never played him so he left and Brisbane showed us our mistake.

How? By leaving him out of the prelim final that we won by 12 goals?

sighting!

The pessimist in me assumes that Jack was merely sighted, Stengle was running laps and Ollie was the one who was looking unhindered.

So you consider Fort is better than his replacement, Ceglar, which was my point.

Both are nothing but backup level rucks.

Fort was offered more $$$ than he is worth to us from Brisbane so we let him go.

With respect I don't see it that way - Fort was never given a decent run of games to prove himself with us.
IIRC he was a pinch hitter who was decent when played and did manage to kick a goal or two going forward - much like he has shown at Brisbane when given the chance.
I'd still prefer Fort as a back up over Ceglar - only just though.

Not positive enough about Ceggars! I mean he replaces Stanley! He is not replacing Gawn or Grundy… ! Stanley plays one good game in 12 so why wouldn’t Ceggars do the business compared with that?

 

[Chinacats]

Ollie unhindered??? Can you tell him to run out more than 30m from goal??? He is a VFL player ATM yet brotherhood gets him a game!

 

[catempire]

And???? I just saw a ladyboy… I mean what’s your point?

Welcome to my ignore list.

Do you actually have anything positive to contribute or are you just looking to play the antagonist in every thread that you post...

It's tiring & boring - try to bring balance to your posts because at the moment there's not much difference between these efforts & that of opposition trolls who end up with infractions & board bans...

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

If Ceglar plays it’s another big chance for him, Phillips and Draper are in good touch. I’d be hoping Ceglar can go with Phillips and Blicavs with Draper.

Hope that Bruhn plays not sure he can do much more at vfl level but hasn’t played for a couple of weeks. The midfield has picked up their game and I think he will only enhance why they’re doing. Once he gets some confidence he’ll be an important player.

I noticed a few of Old Mate's posts have ended up being highlighted on other team boards, so you do have to wonder....
