Review Good/Bad v Geelong

[Coopers]

Those free kicks Keath gave away would have been given away by any player 98 times out of 100. Particularly the second one I think where a turnover had everyone out of position. Keath is certainly no worse than Hartigan - who completely lost Hawkins, allowing him to get a one on one with Milera - and I wouldn’t mind dropping Harto just to send him a message. See Atkins response tonight. Plus, getting games into Keath should be a priority if there is ever a long term injury to Talia.

If he didn't hit them high they probably would have marked the ball. One of them worked out really well for Keath in the final quarter where he somehow spoiled the ball without looking at it, so there's that.
Unfortunately Keath isn't big enough to play on Hawkins, so we're stuck with him tearing up Hartigan.

Cheney does everything right. What a guy. Must be kept on ahead of Kelly and Otten. Would be cheap as chips and our defence looks so much better with him.

Kelly played ok but still stagnant at times. Cant see a spot for him really. Douglas in for him and Gov for Tex.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Good: Sloane, Gibbs, Greenwood, Seedsman etc all spent time forward. Giving our midielders/wingman who are dangerous up forward stints down there makes us more unpredictable. Also means more guys must be rotating through the middle.

Did anyone get a sense of Deja Vu, seeing Galluci play today, and thinking they were seeing a younger version of Douglas play?

Nah , quicker and much better user of the ball . Gallucci is a two way player .

 

[Coopers]

From the AFL app:
'Half-back flanker Wayne Milera was the catalyst with 11 third-quarter disposals, breaking the lines with his daring attack and delivering the ball beautifully by foot.'

If someone can GIF the play he made where he ran from half back had a couple of handballs and kicked over the top for a Murph goal, that would be welcome...

Gooch needs to play midfield next year. Will be a very important player in years to come.

 

[BACCS]

Did Greenwood play mainly forward?

 

[Dewy006]

What I didn't like was with 12 minutes to go we clearly turned to defensive football. Looked horrible and turned over a couple of quick goals.

At this stage if the year, if you're trying to go all out just to make the finals, just ******* go for it!

Yeah this bothered me too, there was a moment in the last where Hugh took a mark and had Seed streaming past wide open for the play on, could of easily got the ball on and got it very deep forward for a scoring opp. Instead slowed it down and turned it over. Infuriating.

 

[ShadeyP]

Gooch needs to play midfield next year. Will be a very important player in years to come.

Yeah he is building beautifully , strong little scooter ... i think midfield - forward split as we continue build our midfield depth .

A lot of similarities between those two, I will say Gooch will end up a better footballer though in the long run. May not get the accolades though.

Gooch is a tad more explosive, and really his football IQ is just through the roof.

Can someone cut that footage up and post it?

I'll put my hand up here. I ripped into him for his game last week and said we should have drafted Curnow.

He played with real intent tonight, probably the most he's shown at AFL level. Went at 91% DE too. Was a big part in us putting a break on them in the third term.

 

[Redline]

Good: 4 points. Milera stood up under pressure. Keath has overtaken Hartigan and offers some run and attack. Atkins in form. Sloane on fire.

Bad: Umpiring scum cheats. Hartigan useless.

Ugly: Dangerfield is.

I disgree on a few points.

Hartigan is a better option than Keath. I'm not saying Hartigan is a good player but Keath is just a SANFL player. I don't get it why people are impressed.

Milera was good but needs to tackle and take the body contact. That might come with age.

 

[1achie]

Good: Butterfingers Buzza

Bad: One of Murphy or Gooch will get punted for Douglas.

Ugly: Pannell - cheating scumbag.

 

[Morning_Fog]

I love Smithers.

 

[Murray2503]

Nothing against tex but feel sloane needs to be joint captain next year. It worked for sydney.up until recently.

Hahahahahahaha! That is spectacularly pathetic from Selwood. He should be utterly embarrassed by his response to that “hit”.

 

[Squiba]

Some great marking too, reading the ball beautifully.

Needs to play behind the ball as reads it so well.

His aerial game has progressed far beyond what I had envisaged. At times he looks cleaner in the air than at ground level.

 

[GreyCrow]

I love Smithers.

I dont think Lairdy did just at that moment

 

[Morning_Fog]

I dont think Lairdy did just at that moment

Possibly not.

Looks to me Selwood was going for the side to side bump but Riley held him square at the last second and bam. Good tag team wrestling move there. Poor Gibbs. Reckon Riley should chip in for the fine

 

[Scorpus]

Tonight's game reinforced my opinion that Wylie Buzza is the worst player in the AFL

 

[Bicks]

The best part was the form of Cheney, Murphy, Gallucci and Milera. and Atkins.

EFA

Is that seriously what he flopped around over?! Seriously?! I saw him looking like a fish out of water from the stands and he was down long enough I thought Knight must have belted the s**t out of him. But THAT?!
