Preview Round 11, 2019: Geelong Cats vs Sydney Swans @ GMHBA Stadium, Saturday, June 1, 4:35pm

[The King!]

Why does this board give McVeigh a pass for nothing but 25m sideways kicks, yet crucify Lloyd for doing the exact same thing? Why is it “steadying leadership” when McVeigh does it, but “sideways defensive ****” when Lloyd does it?

BS IMO

Just to annoy you

 

[caesar88]

Lloyd isn’t a patch on McVeigh let’s be honest

Career-wise no

Form-wise yes by a country mile

 

[The King!]

Career-wise no

Form-wise yes by a country mile

McVeigh hasn’t played so not in any form

 

[caesar88]

McVeigh hasn’t played so not in any form

His last few years then SA

His last few years then SA

It’s not a choice between the two

But McVeigh has been a leader

Can hit a target under pressure

But McVeigh has been a leader

Can hit a target under pressure

As long as it's not beyond 25 metres away

Just like Lloyd

But Lloyd can also run and tackle.

Looking forward to seeing Menzel!

I personally hope Thurlow is the travelling emergency. Aside from the fact he's probably a little stiff to be dropped, and I know there'd be a bit of #romance about Knoll playing, but I would rather see him playing NEAFL to get some experience off the bat, along with Rowbottom (who is leading the MVP in the reserves) and Ronke (who needs to keep getting form.)

Knoll can get experience playing AFL. He’s coming from the SANFL which is far greater than the NEAFL bush league!

Has Macca ever been top 50 like Lloyd?

Knoll can get experience playing AFL. He’s coming from the SANFL which is far greater than the NEAFL bush league!

Yeah but I'm talking about the fact that he then sits in the stands playing no footy at all if there are no changes. IMO the travelling emergency should be either the last one out of the senior team, or the most experienced emergency who doesn't need the reserves that badly. Thurlow ticks both boxes.

I'd rather Knoll and Cameron play in the same reserves team on the weekend. A good old-fashioned test of who can impress the most.

And get shown up defensively like against a old fella in wells

If he’s the traveling emergency, he’s not the emergency...he’ll be playing. You don’t recruit a guy to ‘sit’ the guy!

Well if that's the case then fine, I'm not against him playing. As long as he's playing in some form this weekend I'm happy with that

As a rebounding half back. Since we've had that discussion you seem to be hanging onto, he has basically been forced to become Nick Smith.

Horse started him off on the wing where he looked incredibly promising, then moved him back to the half back flank where he looked very good, now he's on the last line. Move him back any further and he'll be with Kenny in the stalls. Ridiculous coaching but we won't go into that.

 

[The King!]

still a disgrace to be beaten by wells that way

he is a footballer

whats lloyd top 50 in

 

[Punts]

whats lloyd top 50 in

Kicking higher than longer most times.

 

[RW]

I actually think we're a chance here with McVeigh back in... tell me I'm dreaming!

 

[sataris]

Knoll in the emergencies is a good sign.

Reckon he's one sinclair like performance from Sinclair to get a go.

 

[Swan4Life]

I think it's insulting to Lloyd personally, so now what?

So...you are entitled to your opinion, which I respect even if I disagree with it.

 

[Syd]

Fox had to stay in the team so he could take another hanger against the Cats. Purely for morale.

COR deserves his spot. Been really good and I like Fox's game. Feel bad for Thurlow though.

Thurlow our for McVeigh in is a +
Anyone thinking the medical staff give a free pass is deluded

Menzel in means Blakey spends more time on the wing/ link man

 

[Swansujelly]

McArtin goes back?
