Preview Geelong v Richmond Friday May7 2021 7:50 pm @ MCG

[SkittleCats]

How many more times does Zuthrie have to suck before we select literally anyone else on the team before him? Playing him is like raising the white flag the day before the game. We'd be better of only selecting 21 players and letting some guy from the crowd run on and play for us.

At least there's no melting this week and Zuth being named medical sub

Why not just keep Clark or Narkle as the medical sub?

 

[frggr]

Zuthrie did a few good things last week - or at least, no real bad things.

Don't know how these team selections help our ability to move the ball quickly though

 

[Spazz Cat]

I would of blown up the club if he was med sub again this week.
Narkle would be a sensible choice for sub.

 

[bulletproof]

Feel like Zuth played a high percentage of his games v Richmond. He was actually ok last week in fairness to him.

As long as he's on the list he's going to be picked or almost picked. It's just the way they work - a strange fascination by the MC, but one we've just got to accept. Let's not forget Henry was squeezed out of the side round 1 to accommodate him.

 

[Strange Cat]

Nope, in the starting 22

Surprising

 

[bulletproof]

I guess we will know shortly, but i expect Holmes will be held over. Feel like they may be loading him up with weight and fitness work at the moment.

Would be the logical thing for his development , I expect him to play regular games next year tho

 

[Sire of Claude]

This is even worse than I feared: Clark and Narkle out. Zac Guthrie in. No Esava. No Holmes. Boring unimaginative selection. Yet we are about to play the most dynamic outfit in the competition.

He was fine. People here have made up their minds without judging on merit.

 

[AM]

Is Simpson the sub? Seems strange to throw him in so quickly

Hasn't he had 3 VFL outings? Happy to see him get a run. Though neither he or Higgins add genuine leg speed.

Zuthrie has pics of someone. Can be no other explanation. Might count how many handballs go to the Tigs the moment he's under the most modest tackling pressure. Not happy Jan.

Looking forward to watching the VFL outing tonight.

 

[frggr]

Yeah, seems that way. Still, I'm not exactly sure why he stays in - he's a bit hesitant with ball in hand, don't think he can lock down on their smalls or whatever

Perhaps he's in for when Henry goes to the middle. Zac, to his credit, does have a bit of the Henry "back into the pack and get a fist in" about him

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Yay how exciting that Zac Guthrie is back in the team. He’s always a great contributor for the team.

Simpson and Higgins will be good inclusions.

 

[thecatattack]

Surely Clark's speed or Narkle's x-factor is better suited as a sub than Zuthrie?

 

[winty]

At least there's no melting this week and Zuth being named medical sub

Instead there's melting because he's been selected in the starting 22...

 

[AM]

I'm sure he looks great on the training track. Put him in a presure situation and he's like a deer in the headlights - can't dispose of the pill quickly enough, to anyone.

 

[Down at K Park]

He sets such a high bar. Seriously he will never amount to anything, proved it over what, 5 seasons now?

Why wouldn’t you get games into someone with potential, instead of old donuts zuthrie. I’d put money on him not getting 4 touches till late in the 3rd quarter, as he often does.

Might as well just send a witches hat out there for the first half, it would do just as much.

Good to see sammy simpson back though

Bit like Blicavs in that respect

I though he’s been out injured for ages? Are you sure he’s played any VFL games??

 

[Vdubs]

Yep. I'm Zuth melting. Not sure who we're expecting him play on.
Good to see Simpson though.
Higgins meh. Not a bad replacement for Miers I guess. But will probs pull a hammy in the 2nd quarter.

ZGuthrie could get Dusty. Strong and tall enough to go with him. No Kolo, no MOC, no great choices. CG and Parf are needed as mids. Maybe Henry. I would let ZG try and stay with him like bee on honey.

He played on Heeney. He will get a similar job against Richmond.

 

[Chinacats]

Zuthrie . He actually should be decent now. He has had enough tries...

I'd bet on Dusty to have 35 and 6 if Zuthrie goes to him.
