Official changes: Cats Vs Demons

[Sando]

How many talls will you play up forward? You named Ablett and Ottens, but will someone like Harley or Milburn get a run up there at all? Just looking at our side and if Rivers doesn't come up, we don't have a logical replacement for him, meaning Holland and Carroll will be our only talls down back.

Should be some good matchups too, especially Gary Ablett Jr. and Matty Whelan, always a good one to watch!

Doesn't matter how many we play, If the Cats minds are right they won't be losing this 1

But thats the big question........will they be on thier game??

Cats by 32

Interesting suggestion that - you would say their minds have been AWOL for most of the year, yes?

Then if that's the case, why bother really getting it right for a Round 21 game that essentially means nothing to the GFC?

But then I could say that if we really come to play then we won't lose either, but every supporter says that about their club.

Geelong have nothing to play for....that's when we excel. Cats by 28.

Realistically the season is already blown, play Ablett for the last 2 games and just let him go.

Yeah, but is CHF his position, or is it FF?

I would've thought the latter.

I agree, but it seems they want Ottens in the goalsquare. Certainly with Mooney out you would think Ablett will be further up the ground.

N Ablett has been playing quite well at CHF for a lot of this season in the VFL. He has demonstrated good mobility and excellent disposal by either foot. I watched him at Casey a few weeks back and I'm beginning to think that's his best position.

NAblett at CHF will only work if:

a. He leads hard and leads often towards the ball carrier; and

b. The ball carrier consistently honours his leads.

I have my doubts about both.

N ABlett 10 marks and 19 Posessions from CHF last week, as we know the season over, leave him there for the game, just to see what its like, so next year after a complete pre season he might just make the position his. ( If he has the heart.)

Interesting to note that for an AFL listed player to compete in the VFL finals they cannot play any more than 8 AFL games throught the year. Nathan plays game no. 6 this week while Kent has already played 8. Another words don't expect to see him in the seniors next week, regardless of how many he kicks this weekend.

A player can play 12 AFL games and still qualify for VFL finals,as long as they've played 6 VFL games [NA & KK qualify].

I thought I heard Phil Cleary say otherwise during the last Geelong match telecast on the ABC but can't be sure.

 

[C.O.G.]

Good to see Nathan back in the side.

A solid preseason and a bit of bulk over the summer should see him develop further.

CHF should suit him a little better than FF until he does put some weight on and can hold his own. Hope he kicks a bag this weekend.
