Analysis The four Cs

[Mr X]

Clark has a week to get back. Possibly for Atkins
Cockatoo is cooked - absolutely for this season and possibly his Cats career
Constable won’t be playing finals, so any inclusion is temporary although I suspect we are done with selection roulette and much more locked in.
O’Connor/Bews will come down to match ups. O’Connor looked much better this year than I anticipated, but coughs it up in the corridor across half back a little too much for September in a tight year

I think they view O'Connor as an MCG specialist - remember when they played him there against the bombers in his first game out of nowhere and then both games against the hawks last year?

I'd be surprised if he's not thrown back into the mix, especially if Blitz is going to ruck from here on out.

And I thought this thread was going to be about Sam Mitchell, Ross Lyon, Leigh Colbert and Warren Tredrea.

"What? This is the early 2000's calling? And you want your douchebag player back?"

 

[Ray Donovan]

As useful as the **** could be with his pressure, Legspeed, Athletism in the forward half I just don't trust his body with Zero AFL hitouts. Regular AFL game is two levels up from VFL finals keep going.

I don't trust his body and the last thing I want is to be one down in the first quarter of a final.

It really hurts Geelongs rotation down one more than most sides in top 4 because of how many tall or key defenders cats play. And not many of our defenders can go on ball.

Constable I think ran out of time as well which is disappointing.

Clark if fit should be a lock just gives some run bounce and a bit of X-factor pushing forward from the wing. Really versatile and looks to run and kick long instinctively which all cats supporters love.

Rohan same thing the underrated part about him is he is one of the best pressure players in the league and a good size honestly key position size.

Happy they brought Stanley back this week and yes I still think he is a spud. Clearly, the best of the bunch and his best cuts the mustard you need a genuine ruckman in finals it's a non-negotiable I believe. Like all fringe AFL quality players, the issue is the level of his best and worst. So if he is having a bad day it's hard to turn around. Better players, if they are having a bad one, won't have a terrible one they just keep working themselves into the game.

I wasn't sure on MOC even end of last season when he played a good final. But this year he is one of geelongs most improved lock for back 6 and probably leapfrogged bews
