Dunno why posters seem to think Stewart is a rebounder first. imo, he's pretty comfortably Geelong's best defender for actually defending and for rebounding. Don't be fooled by his numbers and think that he's just one of those dime a dozen running back flankers.
I don't know why it took him so long to find his way onto an AFL list, must have been a lack of commitment or something but he's the best defender Geelong have had since Scarlett.
That's not how coaches make match ups work, I'm sure they thought Grimes with his speed and mobility could do more against Rohan in that regard than he could against Hawkins. Probably more likely to be able to come off and intercept from Rohan than Hawkins. Unless you want Grimes to grow 5cm and 13kg to match Hawkins in a week, he's probably not the right match up for him.Stewart. If Grimes was as good as suggested, he'd have been playing on Hawkins instead of Rohan on Friday night, especially with Astbury and Rance out.
That’s like saying if Stewart was any good he’d have been playing on Lynch. Just dumb.Stewart. If Grimes was as good as suggested, he'd have been playing on Hawkins instead of Rohan on Friday night, especially with Astbury and Rance out.
And if Garth was missing Grimes would have probably taken Hawkins. Whilst still raw, Garth is a far better match up for a KPF.If Blicavs and Taylor were missing, he might've.
Stewart was playing on Dan Butler. Or rather, playing off him.Stewart. If Grimes was as good as suggested, he'd have been playing on Hawkins instead of Rohan on Friday night, especially with Astbury and Rance out.
People aren't suggesting he's a rebounder they're saying he is better than Grimes at it and that Grimes is better at 1v1 than Stewart. Tough poll as they both play a different role. A better comparison would be Stewart vs Rampe and Grimes vs Hamling.Dunno why posters seem to think Stewart is a rebounder first. imo, he's pretty comfortably Geelong's best defender for actually defending and for rebounding.
