Marcus Drum

[FarmersWife]

It's only two games in, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that Drum is going to be playing for the firsts at Geelong.

With all of Geelong's injuries and suspensions coming into this weekend's match, Drum has been overlooked, while a 28 year old in James Podsialy will be given a debut well ahead of him.

And it could be considered that in his place, we have the one and only Michael Barlow running around influencing games.

The year before it was Josh Carr that left, although by his own mistaken accord, which allowed us to pick up Nick Suban.

We have Roberton for Drum, who's doing much better than Drum ever did in the WAFL.

Well..... Mooney out means they need a forward.

And Gillies was always better than him, surprised Lonergan is holding him out though.

drums not fully fit, came of a soft tissue injury and currently we have Lonegan ahead of him. Its called depth.

I thought it was called "Drum's a crab with no heart"

Drum has gone back into his Schell.

Drum's a hack mate.

A few Geelong posters have been commenting that they need a third tall backman this week, but they have Lonergan, Harry and Mackie so they are fine match-up wise against our forwards. Pods was always going to play at first drop in the forward line.

I guess the interesting thing in retrospect is that they preferred both Pods and Drum to Silvagni.

I've heard that he is out with an illness until round 6. It's apparently a severe bout of Fremantleitis. But our docs reckon we can rebuild him. I've also heard that there is extreme concern for his vocal chords. He's had limited reason to use them after a game so we're warming them up slowly through the two's

you'll be able to rebuild him i guess, but finding him a heart is a whole other issue which will be tough to fix

 

[Dyslexic Emo]

I have a feeling Drum is just bidding his time, waiting for the Geelong stars to retire. After which he will play a few games, get injured, see another crop of youngsters come in and take his spot, chuck a sad and finally end up
getting delisted because he is dead wood.

Oh snap

Heres hoping Frank Costa is the wizard of oz...

I'm looking forward to seeing Pods play. A star at VFL level for many years its good to see him get a chance.

He's the reason we need Tarrant up and running because he is a big lad. Having said that big lumpy forwards have never done so well at Subi.

It's two games into the season, at least wait until round 12-13 before making comments on a players career

I remember a big lumpy log Sav Rocca tearing a new one against Powder Thornton in a Subi oval game for North Melbourne. If I remember he kicked 7 or 8.

Two games plus 4 years on our list. We can have a discussion on our board. For mine, good luck to him at Geelong, but I doubt he will have much more of a career as an AFL player.

One game (or a handful once people think of others) do not disprove a theory. As a general rule, teams need to be more mobile at Subi, no doubt.

That when Burgoyne is booked in for surgeory????

Looks like another mis-diagnosis at the cattery.

It's not he can't speak up because of a disability, it's he can't step up coz he's got no ability.

 

[markfarmer]

I THink Drum was going well, but last week or so I think he got a broken nose or something like that..

 

[jerms]

LOL...



[edit: We took him with pick 10. The next six picks were Higgins, Nathan Jones, Hurn, Birchall, Varcoe and Douglas. Ouch...]
