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

[Turbocat]

I for one hope that Scott and Dew give the fans the mouthwatering matchup we've been waiting for all season:

Murdoch v Parsons





To the tune of the Benny Hill theme song.

Man .. the cynicism around here is amityville horror style dripping out of the walls.... LOL



Im not sure they play much man on man..but Id like to see Clark be put up against Ainsworth or Bowes etc and let him try to cope with them.We know he can free wheel..

Should be winning this by 10+ goals.

Should be winning this by 10+ goals.

I'd been hoping for that the last couple of weeks, really put the foot down and put a big score on the board.

We will see though. Seems to be a bit of a lull around atm. Probably understandable given our early fixtures, but would still like them to kick on.

Carlton game before the finals is shaping up to be 10+ goals

There's a lot to be said for Quexit.
They can leave the Reef, but take their bloody coal mine with them.

Can't like this comment enough - need mods to allow us multiple likes

This is where things get frustrating for me - I was born in QLD (so technically am a Qld'er) but moved to Vic when I was 4.5. I call myself a Victorian, that is what I associate as, it's what I feel connected to etc, as I don't feel any genuine connection with the state where I was born. And when I read & watch what's happening in Qld, I shake my head and really appreciate my parents decision to move back to Vic.

We seem to be forgetting the elephant in the room here.
Who is going to tag Murdoch?

FredLeDeux will have that role

He tags himself pretty well.

At least he sort of has an excuse when he kicks the ball straight back to the opposition, by saying he forgot which team he plays for.

 

[FredLeDeux]

FredLeDeux will have that role

I probably just won't realise he's playing, like in his first 100 games.

Sav and Zuthrie the travelling emergencies today.

 

[ChookNorris]

I'm not buying the poor tank for his omission,21 possies v Pies followed up by 31 v Melb and other good numbers for a 7 gamer,I'm thinking more structure.

Defensively he’s pretty poor at this stage, now some of those poor defensive efforts could be due to his tank.

Sav and Zuthrie the travelling emergencies today.

What a waste of a trip, Zuth won't make the weight requirement for the rides at dream world.

 

[Dannyreed]

So you can't post views from the right? I'll try it:

I think Parsons will have an impact on this game.

I guess your right.......... a negative impact still counts as an impact

 

[cats_09]

Sav and Zuthrie the travelling emergencies today.

I'm thinking that indicates Sav is a good chance of playing - surely he wouldn't be traveling to Queensland and have 2 weeks without playing any football

He'll pass for a child's ticket though

 

[frggr]

As opposed to a 150 game player in Cam Guthrie who played MORE midfield time, still had only 11 possessions and 3 clangers..

Dropped for Parsons FFS.

Your point is rubbish.

Was Constable playing a shut down role?

I’m happy for the lull, as long as we hit our straps come September. It’s only natural to slightly drop off, every side does even the very good ones, as long as we keep winning and building our form towards the back end of the season.

and conversely surely they wouldnt take stanley on the plane if he wasnt right to play?

This is pure genius...

 

[00VicWard001]

Parsons more likely to make it long-term than Constable? Really?

I strongly suspect this take is going to age as well as my "Mark O'Connor doesn't have any upside" posts from last year.

Turns out that no one on the forum can do any better than a guess when it comes to predicting who will make it and who won’t... what a surprise.

No one can predict the future but to say Parsons has more chance of making it than Constable is outrageous! Unless ‘it’ is a coffee in a little Pako cafe in the coming years after he’s been delisted.
Constable is not only a much better prospect but is already a far better footballer than parsons!

Why would he make coffee in Pako after being delisted?
(a) He's not from Geelong
(b) He's not a barista

(a) he will find love with a local girl who will convince him to stay
(b) Parsons is good mates with Cam Guthrie who will be convinced by his manager to invest in a cafe so naturally when Parsons is unemployed he would give him a job. Mates look after mates

Now you're talking!
It always pays to be more specific with your ironic predictions.
