Selwood round 1

[Gogeelong]

Coach says that Selwood will / should play round 1
Big wrap

 

[thejester]

Good. He's done enough, looks ready, and should be good against the Dogs.

 

[Tonycam*]

I would be very disapointed if he didnt play. He has done all he has been asked so far . The kid should be rewarded for his preseason efforts

 

[Sunovagun]

Yes Bomber, let him off the leash!!!

 

[Oscarlett]

Where did you hear / read this?

I'm all for it.

 

[Kegs44]

yeh all for it too got massive raps on this kid, will be a star and shuld play most of the year!! assuming he earns his place of course

 

[WE Are Geelong]

If it's purely form related...which we are not always certain at selection time to be the case...then it's a no brainer...he plays.

 

[RememberMe]

Selwood >>>> Gibbs. **** we did well out of the last draft. Im excited. Premierships are on the horizon.

 

[Copernicus]

He certainly looked settled in the NAB Cup games. Just reward for some good form. Let's hope he backs it up in the real thing.

 

[grantyc77]

I certainly agree, his preseason cup form warrants a game for rnd 1, dare i say it so does Charlies.

 

[Partridge]

He was pretty good on Saturday also. I'd play him for sure.

 

[Alphanumeric]

My mate just got a job at Geelong. He is the "Football Technology Manager"

He reckons Selwood is going to be a gun.

If they play Prismall round one as well (which I think they will), what will be the implications for our other mids; who will play and who won’t? Will they all play?

Ling
Bartel
Corey
Enright
Tenace
Selwood
Prismall
Mackie

 

[Mooney_d'King]

Yes.

they will all play in the back half most probaby, to keep Ling in the midfield.

mackie on a wing or half forward.

tenance in the 2nds.

I'd play every one of them. Anyone who saw the practise match on Saturday wouldn't have Tenace in the 2nds as he was disposing of the ball superbly all day.

if tenace does play then he better get a few more minutes than the 5 minutes...dragged...5 minutes...dragged...etc that thompson usually employs with him. stick him on wing and see how he goes.

id prefer to see Ling start on the bench and maybe a "real" midfielder can start in the square.

Judging by the way he was used against Melbourne I wouldn't be surprised if Tenace starts on a half back flank, kind of like a sweeper. Seemed to be in that sort of role. That's if he gets picked of course.

Ling, well you and I and a lot of other fans would love to see him on the bench. Won't happen though.

I'd rather see Bartel play forward rather than back. Someone of his size who can take a great contested mark like he can would be hard to match up on in our forward line IMO.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he wandered forward for a rest. Although I still think Thompson will stick with Ablett and Chapman in those roles mainly.

The article re Selwood was in Inside Football

 

[Gazzajr is god]

MUST PLAY !!!

Maybe the best draft choice we have ever had in comparison to the other top 10 picks we have had.
Maybe Bartel is the only other pick who has been so good so early. Jimmy was BOG in his second game when we smacked St Kilda by 20 goals.

 

[darren forssman]

Maybe the best draft choice we have ever

You dont remember the great white hope in big Steve Hooper?

I think you're forgetting the impact two other WA boys had at our club;

Brett Spinks and Mitchell White

Spinks had some major problems upstairs and Mitchell White was playing in an old mans body.
