Preview Round 14 - Geelong vs its mental demons (a.k.a. The post-bye) and also Port, Saturday 22 June @ 7:40pm @ AO

[Pollywaffle]

Wonder if we will give Motlop a bit of attention?

Why bother, the guy is a ghost. Continuing to channel his cousin in the teal.(..or whatever their current colour is.)

 

[Dav]

Boak? Remember him?

Ah, forgot he played that one.

 

[Baudolino]

In: Fort
Out: Ratugolea (inj)

 

[you pick one]

Ugh

No surprise.

 

[catempire]

No surprise.

Well, it was given Scott said he was right to go.

 

[BIGANT]

Shhh you will attract them....

Sav was always 50/50 anyway. Get him 100% for the cow's big game next friday night at home

[Pure_Ownage]

Ugh

Fort was the only like for like replacement for Sav that we have.

 

[PremierCatAttack]

U

Ah, forgot he played that one.

Understandable

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Well, it was given Scott said he was right to go.

Why would you risk a guy with a hammy when we are 11-1? Better to give him another week.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Fort was the only like for like replacement for Sav that we have.

Confirms Buzza is out end of year. To go with Scooter

Yeah im glad they are being cautious and giving him an extra week.

 

[you pick one]

Well, it was given Scott said he was right to go.

Go back to where it went approx 7 minutes to go in the third where he grabs at it and you go 3 weeker.Never going to risk him with 2 weeks.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Fort needs to clunk his marks, theres absolutely no height to the Port defence.

 

[fpm84]

Fort? Well my confidence levels just took a 10% hit.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Fort was the only like for like replacement for Sav that we have.

Yes, Fort might or might not be viable as the 2nd ruck option for 20-30% of the game, but Buzza isn't.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Fort needs to clunk his marks, theres absolutely no height to the Port defence.

I actually rate some of the young defenders that port have, DBJ, Clurey, Bonner is decent for a smaller type, Jonas doing pretty well now he's not clubbing guy's with late hits. Very decent contested mids too. I reckon they'll look at the height of our backline and try a similar tactic to what they used against WCE.

So be it if true. Just isn't a place for him and we have young Nathan coming through anyway. Scooter also depth and surplus to needs.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Ugh

Not much choice. Unless you bring in Smith but Stanley as a 2nd ruck/FWD has rarely worked.

 

[catempire]

Fort was the only like for like replacement for Sav that we have.

Never said otherwise.

 

[catempire]

Why would you risk a guy with a hammy when we are 11-1? Better to give him another week.

Never said risk him.

 

[catempire]

Go back to where it went approx 7 minutes to go in the third where he grabs at it and you go 3 weeker.Never going to risk him with 2 weeks.

Odd to say he’s right to go then.

 

[catempire]

Not much choice. Unless you bring in Smith but Stanley as a 2nd ruck/FWD has rarely worked.

Sigh. Fort is the obvious replacement.

I’m simply disappointed Ratugolea isn’t playing.

 

[James1970]

Ah, forgot he played that one.

He kicked a memorable point in the last quarter, starting the mini-comeback for Port, as we were 128 points ahead at the time.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So be it if true. Just isn't a place for him and we have young Nathan coming through anyway. Scooter also depth and surplus to needs.

Freddy don't ruck but agree Buzz is surplus to needs regardless. Much like Gardiner was he's putting in a few good 2s performances but too late.

I wonder if Cuthrie is keeping him out as the defensive mid?
