We need Ottens

[geelong16]

Definately need him back, our second most needed player for us behind Ablett, big call but i believe his impact he has for us is crucial. Whilst we need him lets not risk him early, when hes back we want him back for the rest of the year.

What has staggered me the last two weeks is that Jolly and Sandilands have been loose in defence, but where the hell has Blake been?

All we needed was for Blake to venture forward. That would have either made the other ruckman accountable, and if he chose not to be, we could've used Blake as an option. As mentioned before, his kicking has improved, so he might've been able to slot a couple of goals at the most, or at the very least made sure Mooney and Hawkins were one out against their opponent, not having to battle their opponent and the opposing ruckman.

was at he freo game, noticed when sandilands was loose in defence, blake was floating 30m off him in space. was frustrating knowing the mids would rather kick it to a contest than blake on his own.

exactly, if Blake had followed Sandilands back into the attacking 50 he would at least have kept him honest, and not picking up all the stray delivery. Problem is though, I'm not sure Ottens would have done that either. Geelong seem to be quite conscious of not overcrowding Mooney and Hawkins' space.
