Opinion Round 2 Changes vs. Geelong

[Apenesslike]

I think Noidea deserves to keep his spot

Noidea has owned the pill in the first round.

All I've been hearing is "Noidea who that went to"

That must be the guy Priddis is always aiming for.

Won a bloody Brownlow.

Hope for rain?

Stanley won't come in and it will minimise the impact of Clark and Hawkins

We don't want rain and I doubt there will be any either!

 

[Carnthedockers]

These are the games that worry me. Often we drop games like this. Hopefully not this time!

Neale named as an emercency ?

Or is that supercoach shenanigans

Just named on the extended interchange so it sometimes shows them up as emergencys. He will definitely play!

He's first named on the extended bench. If he was an emergency he'd be listed as an out. He's not. Your supercoach team scores are safe

Will be if he outscores Vandernberg

He has had a terrific pre season and I reckon he is ready to take the next step

 

[yoong]

I don't get it.
They banned Motlop for having a drink on a non game day? He's still their best performing player last week anyway isn't he?
If they are that strict why isn't Stevie J banned for the **** he does in games?

 

[estibador]

Because they must have a team rule against drinking, whereas we all know they don't have any team rules against being dickheads and cheats.

Yep Cameron " The Brain " Mooney alluded to this on Fox Footy, apparently was out on the squirt with Luke Hodge's brother and another AFL listed player.

Said Selwood was filthy, and fair enough.

Very strange inclusion of Stanley. Was up against Campbell and Cordy (both play FF mainly for WBs don't they???) in the VFL last week. These were his stats:

Stanley: 12 disposals, 8 hit outs, 5 clearances, 2 marks

Compared to Hamish McIntosh:

HMac: 15 disposals, 28 hit outs, 6 clearances and a goal

Smoke and mirrors? Or are they really going to bring in a player that underdone?

 

[wild side]

Last time he'll booze with Hodge's brother. There should be some unwritten rule about this.
Hawks were bagging him during the game. This country has turned to squibbling "dobbers".

Thought that as well. Snitching turds

This might get us a wrap over the knuckles cause there's a fantasy thread for this, so it's the last I'll say on it. Neale is in my team. Has excellent JS and knows how to get the ball. If Vandanberg scores more, well good for him. Neale goes alright too.

Paying someone out on the field isn't dobbing. Personally, I would have been into him too. Especially as he was the most effective Geel player. I would have been saying anything I could to get him off his game. I bet they knew it would cause an immediate disharmony in the team too. Good move by the Hawks, IMO. Geelong are the ones who should have shut up. And honestly, I think it's dumb of Geelong to suspend him. They should have made him do some charity work, fined him, had him punished in other ways. Suspending him hurts the team more.

 

[clogged]

I don't really like the idea of "shielding" him from wet weather footy either, at this stage of his development I reckon it's important for him to get as much experience as he can playing in various conditions against various opposition. He and Clarke are mobile enough and have big enough tanks, even if conditions aren't conducive to aerial dominance I'd like to think they'll be able to contribute sufficiently in other areas. Not forgetting the advantage having a more mobile defence pitted against a few dinosaurs would provide us.

Didn't Taberner play a ripper game againt Brisbane last year in the wet?

 

[Agenfrida]

He had a pretty good game in round 22. Kicked 1.2 had 22 disposals (14k 8Hb) and 10 marks. Had 6 I50s, 4 Tackles.

Don't remember it being wet though.

That's why it is such a good punishment though, just like at school when you are all kept in over recess for something one person did. It's a ballsy from a short term perspective, but a class move from a long term perspective. I'd be angry if we wouldn't do the same in similar circumstances!

Stanley towelled up Luke last year in that StK game. Maybe they think he can do likewise again but you'd expect Luke is in a lot better shape this year.

Imagine what some of the footy characters from the past make of getting suspended for having a drink during the week & still being best on.

Let alone his teammates dobbing him in to the coaches...

Ha ha, times have certainly changed, but it's not even acceptable in country footy or amateur footy anymore,
Well at least not the night before. It's a professional game,
He's not just had a couple of social drinks, sounds like a bit more than that....
