Stanton is targeted every week.

Yeah apologies he is, and is finally able to work through it, he hasnt previously. Zaka needs to learn from him and learn how to stay effective

Stanton must be the unluckiest player in the AFL ?

No other player is targetted every week.

Seriously? It's well known he has a tremendous amount of work put into him and historically he doesn't handle it well. I wasnt calling him unlucky and of course other players get targeted. Dal santo is another one that has struggled this year with the attention.

Cheer I am replying to someone who wanted howlett dropped to the VFL this week I doubt you have any clue what so ever.

No, I'd say most clubs have at least one midfielder targeted every week.

Dangerfield, Rich, Murphy, Pendlebury etc.

You are gilding the lily.

Stanton is not tagged every week - Not even the great G.Ablett is tagged every week - he has a few games each year when teams go head to head with him. So that means that you play to beat an opponent every week. And any player puts work into their opposition, Stanton included.

And this from the poster who said I was old-fashioned and against supplements per se, which I never posted - I actually posted that the club shouldn't have used supplements that were unfit for human use - And argued back in 2011/2012 that our fitness program should be more endurance based, than strength based. And its strange how all clubs are stripping weight off their players.

I do think your old fashioned. But since we can't agree on pretty much anything and you seem quite pleased to spread the wise word of yaco, we can stop this tit for tat here, to avoid derailing this thread.

So we come up against Richmond this week a team that has lacked tackle intensity in a number of games this year. Wonder how we will go?

With Richmond its all about defensive pressure - They make disposal errors in the back half under pressure - This is exactly what Geelong did to Richmond. Get the pressure right and use the ball WELL, and we should have a comfortable victory by 30+ points.

I merely pointed out that Stanton is not the only player tagged in the AFL - That's a fact - And even if you aren't tagged you wnat to defeat your direct opponent.

And you raised Howlett in the thread - Which was irrelevant to the argument.
