Nathan Vardy

[Turbocat]

Don't see it myself. Play like a talented forward and would look good in anyside. When is his contract due? If anyone is going have money to throw around it will be Hawthorn , Buddy say seeya and they have close to 1M to find another player.

But in most cases player who are getting games in winning sides do not move. If he plays regularly , and plays well he will get some space we will have soon , no doubt.

Do you pull 30 footers out of your arse too?

 

[Vdubs]

Apparently Motlop gave him a home style cut and it was so bad he had to shave his head.....

Sounds very Geelong to me

No, just reflects Vardy's IQ.
Matters not over the big scheme of things if he keeps his nose clean and continues to play good footy.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Anyone know his wingspan? Far out his arms are HUGE. I mean even longer than Taylor and Pods style huge. Will be damn near impossible to stop with half decent delivery.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Is there an Adelaide connection?

Isn't Peter Vardy his uncle or cousin or something?

EDIT: Nathan's related to ex-Tige Royce Vardy. Couldn't find any info on him being related to Adelaide's Peter Vardy.

Can remember that article about Vardy telling Vardy "to knuckle down and don't blow it..like I did"

That hasn't been his problem. Some time you need some luck as well.

Subbed for 5 touches, 6 hit outs and a point late in Q3 against the Giants. Thoughts?

Second game back is always harder than the first. Judge him on next weeks game.

Perhaps the week after. Vardy's fitness will be an ongoing concern in the short term since they are most likely going to manage his training load to ensure the hip doesn't break down again.

Thought I heard the commentators mention something about an injury concern, or perhaps a precautionary subbing... anything in it?

I came here to say exactly that ,I won't bother now

MMM reporting that he was just "stuffed". As was the case vs. Freo in the elimination final last year after a decent return the week prior.

CS said post game they always intended to give him reduced game-time today as part of his load management.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

The call on SEN mentioned him limping in the last quarter with a possible ankle complaint.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

I don't care about limping, or "load mangement", or fitness issues. I want to start up an anti Vardy movement. Is anyone with me on this!?

Here is the outline: really hammer things when he is playing a bad one. Go quiet on good games except with comments like, "yeah, but he was playing on a nobody". This could be tricky if it's nic nat. Pump up another player on the list, and say how he should be on instead of Vardy. Wait 2 weeks after he played a great game, then and tell everyone he had a bad game that week. Only half the posters will notice or remember. If one of them says something like, No Reg, Vards was bog and virtually won us the game... just ignore it and move on.

I have no idea what your on about....but suggest you CTFD.

If you have no idea what that post was about, then you don't read too many threads here.

I'm sure quite a few posters here know I was poking fun at a certain mentality some footy fans have. Not confined to Geelong.

I still don't know what your going on about....anti-vardy movement indeed.....

RegHS may have been comparing Vardy's favourable poster-boy treatment to the analysis routinely passed on Mitch Brown, Cam Guthrie, Trent West, and, in years gone by, Travis Varcoe, Taylor Hunt...

Then how come Reg doesn't start an anti-GHS Movement, eh?

Personally I have no time left after I'm done with M. Brown.

Logical choice. For the third time this year we were one tall guy too many, and with Lonergan and Brown as key defenders, and Hawkins and Pods as key forwards, it was between Vardy and West. And West was playing much better in the ruck, and has a track record of finishing strongly (which he did again). Doesn't mean Vardy's in trouble or anything like that, just the right move for that game. He'll be fitter and better for the run.

 

[THE CAT WRANGLER]

Vardy will be better next game up

 

[Partridge]

Yep just a matter of building fitness and form. Can't forget either he's only played 13 games. Just like Murdoch and Smedts and Horlin-Smith and Brown and all the other youngsters, there are going to be poor games along the way.
