Preview Geelong V Freo - Part 2 of the AFL Road Trip

[Vdubs]

Narkle & Simpson surely already on a plane back home preparing for Sunday's VFL

Feel sorry for Parsons - he was pretty good in the second half last week, so agree with CE that he's likely a late in

Cant say I get the treatment of Parsons.
Was relatively poor v Hawks- stays in.
Played a very good half, influential, v Swans- dropped.
What does that do to a player's confidence and continuity?
Anyway, we will see what transpires.
Interesting no mention Constable again. Is he injured, or on the outer?
Was hoping we'd spare GAJ and SAV the potential trauma of the ground in Perth.

2E? Yuck.

Constable lacks an engine dont play him on the bigger grounds
Parsons was ok but he is 22-28 on the depth chart in reality.
Menegola one more in the 2sfor fitness then in for Atkins and Taylor for a defender and i canlive with that team.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

2E? Yuck.

Coaches consider him auto best 22 was always coming in.

 

[ijaxcat]

If Parsons doesn’t play it’s a travesty.
How bad exactly does Bews have to be, to get dropped?

 

[Willo_]

Parsons plays the first decent half of his career and gets dropped.. I must admit I laughed

 

[Down at K Park]

May as well drop parsons. He isn’t getting a game in the finals unless we cop a heap of injuries.

 

[Shadow89]

The difference in quality on our emergencies list, says it all:

 

[Turkey Tom]

All the commentary on an Ablett rest... Surely a late change is on the cards? Ablett out - Menegola or Parsons in.

 

[Grimoz]

Freo side looks really weak, if we dont hammer them this week we dont deserve to finish top

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I still can't fully get my head around what's going on this season. The chatter on here isn't changing much from week to week.

Still some who want Henry dropped (as the most replaceable)
Still some who because of his kicking mostly, don't rate Blicavs.
Still some who don't think Bews is best 22.
Still a couple who think Mark O'Connor is the one to make way.
Still some that don't rate Kolo as highly as they should. Solid performer yet again.
Still some who don't rate or want Tuohy.
Still some that don't want Clark in defence due to mistakes.
The only one's to escape scorn in this post bye malaise is Mr Consistent Harry Taylor and Stewart who should again be AA.

Scarlo's misfits are the number 1 defence in the league, concede on average 68 points a game, and have conceded 105 less than the 2nd best defence.
Scarlo's boys are far from an issue and clearly our strongest line.

Murdoch had a pretty good shimmy?
Lol

Here's a tip mate. He always goes to the left side just in case you play on him one day. Lol

So better then parsons who doesnt have one at all. Most footballers who shimmy only do it one way.

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Can't see Menegola sitting this one out - so he's either a late change or flies back for the VFL?

 

[darrenmorgan]

Ablett late out for Menegola or Parsons

And how many defenders do you want in the team? They dont all fit.

Good thing one was rested wasn't it... and one will be next week... and the week after.
You catch on quick.

 

[Max Milburn]

Parsons out, well shimmy me timbers!
Thought he might get another, but can't argue about the ins.

So what happens at finals time?

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Parsons only good game (or half of a game) ever and dropped.

Ironic that Parsons gets dropped now after his first good game in about two years.

Played a reasonable second half but was missing in the first half - you can't have players going missing for long periods in finals.
Put a line through him as a starter now we've got the likes of Rohan and Menegola back for selection.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So what happens at finals time?

Stay tuned....

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Please have mercy

 

[cynical]

lol what a joke.

Parsons dropped after his best game! why even play the guy in the first place?

of course Bews stays, that spud will be there shanking them out on the full once finals come around

We don't really need to hammer them. We're 20% beyond the pack now, and we don't need to work ourselves over. Would be pretty funny though, belting Lyon on his home deck. He'd have a fun press conference.

 

[CatRiot]

This team looks a bit faster on paper, I like the changes. Freo's forward line looks very average, I'm expecting a +30pts win here.

For what its worth, I think Parson's performance against the Swans (weak opposition) is a little over-hyped on here. He did kick a great goal to win the game, but it wasn't a votes grabbing performance imho.

If we have fast ball movement on the bigger ground over there, then Rohan should kick a few. If its not fast moving, then Lyon's will employ his flooding tactics as per usual.

A belting is good for confidence which we seem to have been lacking the past 6 weeks, i know we dont need it but it would be nice. The easier we can make the Perth trip the better.
