News Stevie Motlop signs with North Warrnambool

[LP7_]

Word has it that Ratkins is still trying to find him.

 

[MrPlow]

What has impressed me most this season is Motlop’s consistency to hit up leads inside 50. One of our only players to do it!

Oh and his goal on Saturday wasn’t too bad either!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Off the top of my head:

R Gray
Wingard
Polec
Neade

All could have done it and I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Now...guess who was in the forward 50 at that moment?

R Gray
Wingard
Neade
Polec

Neade would have been looking for the handball. That is his first though from 40m out.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'd have Sam Gray in that position before Neade.

You blokes are all forgetting about Johnny Clutcher.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Word has it that Ratkins is still trying to find him.

Ratkins looked like he was trying to stop him with the Power Stance....

His arms didn't even leave his side.

 

[Marmozet]

What's the difference?

 

[manureid]

What's the difference?

The bloke at the bottom never kicked the game winning goal in the final seconds against his closest rival?

 

[malcheski]

What's the difference?

One is our Lord and Saviour, the other is Jesus Christ....

 

[StuMan]

What's the difference?

The Redeemer can't finger twirl.

 

[Visenfest]

What's the difference?

They both suffered for our sins. Being tortured and crucified by the Romans and living in Geelong for a number of years seem roughly equivalent.

Blair Hartley has a lot to answer for that 2008 draft stuff up.

I'm pretty happy with Geelong training him up and getting through his flaky years while we pick him up for free for his premium years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Could have used him in the dark years and the Ken / Burgo run till you drop period. We had absolutely no one who could keep up with him. He blitzed us in all 3 games in 2013 especially the SF. Take him out of Geelong's side and put him in Port's side in 2013, we get to the PF and maybe further.

 

[kickazz]

Was a whipping boy at the cats and his efforts could be a bit spasmodic, but there were two things about him that made me always like him:

1. Good foot skills.

2. Would love to see the actual stats, but this guy has a habit of kicking goals in fourth quarters of close games. Bloody good trait to have.

 

[GremioPower]

What's the difference?

"Motlop the Redeemer"

 

[Seanybruz]

The thing about that play was that Wingard was in the clear directly in front 20m away, so for Motlop to take the responsibility himself shows how much confidence he had in himself at that moment

He thought 'sorry Chad, you've already had your Showdown classic moment' lol.

 

[RossFC]

Have "Flashpoint! Stevie Motlop! WHAT A TIME! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Stuck in my head after watching that goal 10000 times.

Steven Motlop press conference - 31 May 2018
Steven likes Ken as a coach..

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Right decision to kick it regardless of Wingard's positioning. Even a point would have put us in a decent position to get another scoring shot

This was always my recollection of him too.. always seemed to stand up in the big games. Shat me to absolute ******* tears.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

He's an icing on the cake man, he's an icing on the cake, man.

 

[PAFC66]

Needs to do more

 

[RangaInTeal]

Needs to do more

we are 7-4 with a game in hand and a relatively easy back end of the draw, arguably should be 8-3. He is still getting accustomed to new team mates and structures this doesn't happen over night and he doesn't play a role like Rockliff where it is "see ball get ball" He relies on others creating his opportunities and our forward structure isn't much chop at the minute. Come round 16, he and Watts will do some magical things, I have however stated both he and Wattsy should have a weekend off and watch a game from high in the stands, Learn plenty from observing!

Port vs St.Kilda will be the turning point in our year, then Freo could be Motts time to shine, GWS @ Adelaide Oval may dictate us being a top 4 team or 7th-8th, 2nd Showdown Wattsies time to shine, Port vs West Coast needs to be a statement match where we fire a shot to a team that has the wool over us, and round out the year against one of our greatest enemies Collingwood!

Id just like to thank Mots for pushing the cows over the cliff

The last few weeks have been gold.
