Opinion Round 2 Changes vs. Geelong

[clogged]

We will really need to defend as a team next week... Geelong look good with 2 very good talls

Their midfield is pedestrian though.

Their midfield is pedestrian though.

The only bit of Geelong midfield that wins the ball is Selwood's head.

 

[Boppo]

Won't happen. Nothing to do with being a fan or sentiment. It's the 25 disposals, 9 marks, 5 inside 50's and 2 goal assists that is compelling.
Barlow would be prone to errors under fatigue especially given he has had an interrupted preseason. It's better for him to sharpen up in the team rather than not. He'll be better for the run and another week on the track.

Yeah, the week Barlow gets dropped he won't be coming back.

 

[MadDocker]

Geelong: Out - Steve Johnson - Suspended.
Fremantle: In - 4 points and odds for 2015 premiership.

He should see a week for that

Doesn't he know that Crowley wont be playing? He doesn't need to do that to avoid him?

 

[MadDocker]

What's the concussion rule these days? Bartel might be missing also.

 

[StingBitten]

Out: Pearce

 

[StingBitten]

Nah just kiddin

Barlow, Ibbo and Sutty ain't getting dropped due to one poor game. C. Pearce played his role reasonably well and would be surprised to see him omitted. Mzungu has to come back in and potentially Taberner so;

In: Mzungu, Taberner
Out: Suban, Mayne (if injured)/someone else unlucky if not.

 

[Docker82]

Wishful thinking that Stevie J will go for that I reckon. Having said genuine lolz if he does

 

[yoong]

Lucky for Geelong there is Norf this week

 

[JamFrank]

Heard that Barlow couldn't walk after the game. Hopefully just cramp, but he'll be sore.

INS: Mzungu and Tabs
OUTS: Suban, Mayne (if ankle injury)

If Mayne gets up, it's hard to pick who makes way for tabs. I'm guessing it would be out of c. Pearce, de boer or Sheridan, but I quite liked a few aspects of their game. And none of them are forwards for a straight swap with tabs.

Maybe it has to be Mayne, injured or not, but I think RTB rates Mayne too highly.

#Riteo Are you setting up another banter thread for the cats game?

I agree with RTB rating Mayney. Clancee is lock for mine. So if Mayne gets up:
Out: Suban, De Boer
In: Tabs, Gu

Can't drop T-train after that. It was probably his best game for the club. He needs to stay at least another week to cement his spot or as a reward for that effort.

 

[Sweetback]

He's a definite out. The guy has a long history of concussion and they won't let him play.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

That handball in the last out to Fyfe which led to Pav's goal was epic. Dived at the feet of two Port players, pinched the ball and shot out the hand pass in one motion. Was a big moment and showed a tonne of class. He won't be going anywhere

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Geelong: Out - Steve Johnson - Suspended.
Fremantle: In - 4 points and odds for 2015 premiership.

Can add Bartel to that.
Knocked out with only a six day break til our game.

 

[Sweetback]

Johnson sure does make a habit of getting suspended just before having to play us.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Johnson sure does make a habit of getting suspended just before having to play us.

Oath he does! How many times now? At least 3 right?

 

[Sweetback]

Oath he does! How many times now? At least 3 right?

Yep, this would make it at least three.

 

[Tazmania]

T-train?

 

[Fred Ziffel]

T-train?

Tommy.

 

[JamFrank]

Johnson sure does make a habit of getting suspended just before having to play us.

When was his last suspension? Can't see him getting rubbed out for that unless there's some additional weighting for prior convictions.

 

[Sweetback]

I think that final a couple of years ago that Demetriou made us play in Geelong.

 

[Sweetback]

When was his last suspension? Can't see him getting rubbed out for that unless there's some additional weighting for prior convictions.

And yeah, the no carry over points thing this year will probably see him get off.
