The Team

[burto]

Why do we keep playing Ling? he is proven to be useless in the modern running game, he handballs backwards over his head whenever he gets it, he kicks it the wrong way and whenever he kicks it forward it goes straight to the opposition.

Time for bomber to start playing people who will take this team forward. Dropping Hunt and Tenace isnt that.

Well said

In fairness to Ling, he can be very effective as a run with player. It's just that Thompson didn't use him much in that role last year. If he isn't used to tag Stevens against Carlton I'll be really pissed off.

Ditto with D.Johnson. Another week to look forward to his fumbling, clumbsy free-kicks, turnovers and skill errors.

Couldn't agree more. I have read people singing his praises on this board and just can't understand it.
His stats for last week 3 kicks 6 handballs 4 clangers and 3 free kicks against not to mention the amount of times he flies for marks or spoils against teammates. He makes too many dumb decisions for my liking.
There's no doubt that he gives his all,but his all is just not good enough. I had hoped that Callen might have stepped up but he seems to be injury prone.

Ling, Gardiner,have the same problem, when the team get's a run on from defence, they hold itup,alway's.Opposition teams close down the gaps, so we are forced to kick it high up in the sky, rather than low direct on a lead.Ling was drafted as a FF, he know's how to kick goals, Gardiner maybe,maybe better suited in defence or magoo's...

Callen, could be there if it wasn't for his poor disposal, apart from that he can read the play quite well, but I tend to belive other post's on here, that Bomber stick's to his favourite's just like M.Blight and G.Ayre's did. We need to change the team set-up, and further more IMO, there something between Scarlo abd Bomber.Just a hunch!

 

[WE Are Geelong]

Surely you don't think we'll lose.

I think having new faces in both sides makes it a difficult game to pick...for what it's worth I would have us slight favourites.

He isn't the greatest player, but he did keep Aka below 20 possessions which was a fair effort. Had Aka played well, the crowd would have gone mad and we may have lost by more than 20 points.

2/3 free kicks weren't free kicks.

When did i mention free kicks?

 

[BigBadCam]

Quoted the wrong thread. Sarah.13 mentioned them.
