Play Smith and Stanley in the same team.... ruck problem SOLVED!
I can hear that complaints "to tall", even if we're being beaten by taller opposition.
To conservative at Geelong.
just watch Scott bring in Zuthrie and Sam Simpson this week and keep Parsons in.
In all seriousness im sure Parsons is a good bloke but that should be his stamping papers. He is absolutely not even close to AFL standard. Scott just let it go, he has nude photos of you get over it the world wonāt care when he leaks them. Just stop playing him please.

In: Menegola, Smith, Parfitt
Out: Parsons, Stanley, Atkins
Put a rocket up Stanley. Give him a week or 2 on the magoos and see how he retaliates, he played his best footy last year when he started to get slammed by critics.
Wouldnāt mind seeing Scooter or Constable come in either.

Tipped the swans to win a close one. This will be an ugly borefest again. Geelong are down on confidence playing horrid footy, nothing will change this week, will be another ticked box post bye for Scotty on our quest for September glory...

Because oāconnor has taken his spot and offers more. So there is no reason he should be in the team. Too many defenders.
That missed goal when Ablett gifted it to him should be our final memory of Parsons. A rare error from Ablett, he should have known a snap over shoulder was better option than Parsons in open goal.

I for one didn't think Stanley was that bad aside from the obligatory soda that he missed. We won the centre clearances easily. Realistically no one else is doing better than him. We have an absolutely pathetic set up for stoppages in the D50 with no player goal side and that cost us another two goals on the weekend, the 1000th and 1001st for the season, but that is not Stanley's fault.

Yeah, don't know who is in charge of the set-up at clearances, but something needs to be done. I remember K-Rock were going off their nut last week because we didn't have a sweeper on the defensive side of the centre bounces, and against Port we'd regularly get carved up by Port getting the ball over the back at boundary throw-ins because we didn't have anyone defending there either.

We play a horrible static game to protect the backline.
Then the justification for picking too many defenders is you can't drop Bews, MoC, Henry, Kolo etc because how many goals did their opponents kick....

What is the tactical reason for the short kick to the back pocket from the kick out? They do this all the time, the kick in player could literally carry to the ball to the same spot and kick it from there themselves. It seems ludicrous to me. Just give Stewart or Clark the ball from the kick off and go. Our kick ins during the second quarter were as bad I have seen from Geelong since the early 90sā¦ā¦

That's your opinion, my opinion is O'Connor should be played either off HB or a wing and there is no way O'Connor is a better one-on-one defender than Bews and Tuohy's even worse!
Get those two guys running off HB/wing and let Bews do his job.

When was the last time oāconnor had multiple goals kicking on him?
He can do what bews does and offers more offensively. There is no point having bews in the team cause all he does is waste a spot in the 22 we could use on another midfielder. We have too many defenders.
The VFL bye makes the decision on Menegola easy, he will play. Parfitt will hopefully be ok, that is a huge improvement right there (for Atkins and Parsons).
Hopefully Narkle also plays (for Bews), with Clark to the back pocket.
Henry in for Stanley and Blicavs to ruck. That is a much better side.

he needs at least a couple in the VFL, he's been out for a long time. I am a fan of Menegola, but that isn't a good move.
you have him out and don't bring in a replacement ruckman?

Really tired of how we move out defence. Kick ins are ridiculous. No idea what Scarlett has done to them.

No one kicks bags anymore, but that doesn't mean they can't influence a game, Christ we're only kicking 8 goals a game as a team because we're so defensive minded.
You're looking at Bews' role the wrong way, he's a lockdown defender who doesn't get out-marked and guys like O'Connor and Tuohy should be giving us run off HB, yet they're all being used as lockdown defenders and it's turned our game into s**t.
You see too many defenders, I see players not being utilised properly and that's the biggest problem I've had with Chris Scott as the Head Coach.

Although improvement is needed all over the ground, I think a lot of our problems of late stem from the backline, not so much the forwards or mids.

IMO it starts in the middle, although the backline is looking shaky.
Early on in the year the forwards and backs were covering well for the rucks and midfielders, just have a look at the Melbourne game.
But at the moment if we're not winning the ball well then we're not winning.

And you can pop down to Bondi the next morning (or where ever they go for recovery) and give them a bucket full
