Preview Rd 10 Geelong v Gold Coast Sat 25th May 725pm @Metricon

[Baudolino]

Yep and they would know more than me, but I'd like see Touhy be the one to be freed up and kicking it long into the forwardline because apart from that being an attacking weapon, I don't think he's a very good defender.

If it's a choice of Tuohy and Clark, Tuohy is the superior defender by the length of the Flemington straight. Clark is a huge talent but defensively he's a complete liability at this early stage of his career.

I don't mind the idea of Tuohy playing wing but not if it means his direct replacement in the backline is Clark.

 

[Man0gwaR74]

Have never been a huge fan of SSelwood and don’t think he’s best 22

Well I'm a big fan of Scooter because he chases and tackles and puts his body on the line for the team and does all those 'little things' that helps his team win games, so when he's 100% then there's always a spot for him. The Cats would be keeping him in cotton wool for finals.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I’ve been a Scoot supporter over the journey but I’ll want him bashing the door down before he kicks Constable out of the team.

What a dilemma then. One the one hand the first part is completely fair.
but Constable needs to be dropped this week, regardless of what happens with Dangerfield.

Don't think our VFL side will make the finals

He had a poor game but I’d be dropping Clark before him.

 

[Chinacats]

Atkins for danger, Stanley for Abbott. And might give a chance to VFL best. Constable and Clarke would be nervous.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Big games today needed from Narkle, Fogarty and Bews. If not for next weekend then their pressure from underneath might see a change for the Swans game.

Need to keep Constable and Clark on their toes.

I'd also prefer Clark's run off HB than Touhy's but that's just me.

2e ..what the story with that tat?

2e is a not kicking it as long as previous seasons.. he is a watch for mine

Fair enough.

He looks rusty to me, that's why i'd like to see him freed up.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Stanley, Atkins in.
Abbott and Danger out.
We show the GC respect and treat this as a genuine danger game, we will win comfortably.
But if we don't they WILL roll over the top.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Came here to read Vdubs talking GC up and marking it down as a danger game.

Didn't disappoint.

If all available, and depending on VFL form..again, any laxity in attitude, and we drop this game.

I quite agree with this, and I have no doubt that the players know it.

But at some point a top team loses to bottom team. it happens every year. It's just the alignment of the planets, just hope that this board doesn't melt when it does happen.

And definitely don't want it to happen against the suns, I'm flying up to Brisbane to watch the game with iameviljez

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Abbott and Clark need to be given the chop. Don't care who comes in.

Looks like its a debut for Jarvis and Tarca then...

Its been a few weeks now and I think most of the young guys form has dried up a bit.. but we have also started to have some sore players..

 

[Turbocat]

I'd rest Gaz for this one even if Danger is out. Bit of a risk but since I feel Gaz needs a rest either this week or next, I'd rather we leave him out against Gold Coast than against Sydney, who always seem to trouble us at KP.

injuries are killing our schedule

 

[cynical]

would give Ablett and Danger a rest

keep the kids in

Do not like the yoyo selection of Constable or Clark being moved around.

 

[Grimoz]

Reckon this will be the letdown week, can see us getting rolled pretty easily tbh, Suns are no push overs and we are the walking wounded.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

We'll win this by 10 goals. Cut the crap everyone.

Menegola and Dangerfield likely to be the only clear cut best 22 players missing through injury.

Scott said Stanley would be fine.

Look at Richmond or Port Adelaide’s injury list - that’s what you call walking wounded.

 

[romeohwho]

Ablett, danger , Abbott out.
In- Stanley, Atkins Parsons.
GC having a tough battle in the wet in Adelaide which isn’t too unhelpful for us.
Geelong by 22 points.

Given this is said every week, at some point someone will get this right and we will be subjected to “told ya so”.

Board is full of 6-month clocks.

Outs: GAJ, Danger, Abbott, CC
Ins; Atkins, Bews, Stanley, Parsons

GAJ looked a little tired yesterday, and I'd prefer he does not travel for this one. Atkins a timely return. I think this week was always a chance for a rest, and he deserves one.
Danger really also needs a week off. Bews to BP, Tuohy or O'Connor on the ball?
Stanley for Abbott is a no-brainer
Parsons for CC-about time

I think GA looked media tired.. two weeks in a row of him being the new thug of the league ... if he is carrying something take it on board for sure..

Sounds like Parsons and ZSmith are our best in the VFL today.. doesn't make giving gary a rest any easier.

 

[Play it Sam]

Off to the GC in the next few days to get a look at Metricon.
Will follow the incisive comments and strategic thoughts here, despite what a few moaners have labelled repetitive guesswork.
I'm guessing Scott is a huge rap for Clark learning more on the job. Just in harmless conversation.
Then again, you never know who is guessing, who is stalking, and who has affiliations with the club.
