It's been a great start to the season and I don't really want to talk negatively about the Mighties, but i am getting annoyed and a little disappointed at the one player we have that doesn't keep his feet often enough and is probably spending too much time playing for frees. Hopefully it is just an aberration and he will return to past glories.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

ffs we just came off an epic H&A win... chill out for a minute and enjoy it.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

Is this another thread bagging out a Geelong player? This is the Geelong board isnt it??
 
Re: You know who I mean.

he should be dropped if he doesn't play well this week

has to get back to basics

A long way from being dropped (excepting reasons to do with injury). He gets the best mid-defender each week.

True. But he has to lift. He was definitely playing for frees on Monday. Needs to get back to basics and start playing for the footy. Especially with Mooney out he needs to step up.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

i'm angry at a certain player who is constantly squibbing it

letting luke hodge run past him without even trying to tackle him was one of the most pathetic things i have ever seen

should be dropped for a week and told to harden the **** up
 
Re: You know who I mean.

If he keeps up the staging for free kicks and generally stinks it up for the next few weeks like he's done thus far, I'd be all for dropping him when we're playing the Tigers or another crap team, just to send a message.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

Such a harsh bunch of critics the BigFooty Geelong Board are.

Re: You know who I mean.

He pisses me off to no end.

Playing for frees, running into the back for a touch, which usually are ****ing useless/turnovers.

Play forward and play some football without acting like a ****ing girl every time you're ****ing touched, SJ! :thumbsd:
 
Re: You know who I mean.

He'll kick 5 this week and have 30 touches...then i hope all you sooks eat your words..

stick by your players. He had a rough day, but fought on and had a solid last quarter and kicked the big goal which got us going.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

If by playing for free's, you mean getting his head slammed into the turf by Guerra, you're kidding me. Give the guy a break. With rumours of that hip problem still being present, he looks slightly underdone. Surely with what he has given to us all, you can lay off him a while while he finds his feet (:D) in 2010.

The man will be back.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

It's usually his fault when shit like that happens. As soon as he was touched he threw his arms in the air, which made his face go into the turf.

And I thought his arms were pinned while he was driven ruthlessly into the ground. Silly me.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

He's been getting gradually worse since half way through last season. Playing for frees more (and he was already the worst in the comp for it) and doing the team thing less. Goes kick chasing up the ground far too much for mine. I shudder when he has it in the D50. I don't like seeing him in the defensive half at all.

To those saying we're whingers for saying this after a win; do you really think a team should stop striving to be better because they're currently winning? I think not. We got to this stage by pulling our heads in and working hard. He needs to as well.

Well I haven't seen it again, but I'm just used to him doing shit like that.

His arms were pinned, hence, it was a pretty dangerous tackle.
 
Re: You know who I mean.

Agree he was playing for frees a bit to much on Monday, although as CatmanForever says he's been doing that for three years so it's nothing new, but for anyone to suggest he's on the cusp of being dropped is quite simply mind boggling, kinda makes me think that no matter how well we're travelling some people have to find something to complain about.

Although not at his best, I would have thought 43 possessions and 3 goals from his two games so far is still a pretty reasonable return.

Does this "squib" have a name?

His knees probably were looking pretty rough by the amount of times they hit the turf.

He did that last year against Collingwood (?) in the goal square and ended up breaking his schnoz.

Love the guy, absolute gun, but I couldn't help but notice on the weekend the amount of times he tried playing for a free kick. The Hodge incident someone mentioned earlier was awful. I'm not suggesting he gets dropped any time soon (that would be a bit of an over-reaction me thinks) but I suggest he cuts back on the "crap" a little. He is too good to be acting like that.

I'm tipping someone has had a word to him and I recon he'll come out and fire this week.

Like someone said earlier 40 touches and 3 goals in 2 games after a limited pre-season is fantastic.
