Finals wk1 2019I feel you're right and if that happens guess who could easily find themselves at the bottom of this table.

I watched as much VFL as I could last year. Constable was interesting. He got good numbers in games I saw but I rarely noticed him.It's NAB now mate. Get it right! Just got a little flashback to those tower life signs that were all over the Southern Stand.
I agree with a lot of that. Would be beneficial for us developing someone instead of sticking with Guthrie or automatically just putting Scooter back in the team when he gets over injuries.
I'm not that convinced on Constable yet though. Just haven't seen in the VFL games I've watched what other people have.
Pretty dodgy table. Percentages don't mean much when the number of finals played are so uneven.I feel you're right and if that happens guess who could easily find themselves at the bottom of this table.

since 1965, 19 past and present coaches have been in 15 or more finals and guess what, Scott is still 3rd last with only Worsfold and Eade behind him.Pretty dodgy table. Percentages don't mean much when the number of finals played are so uneven.
Note: This doesn't mean I think our finals performances have been good lately.
He's actually equal second if you're counting premierships.since 1965, 19 past and present coaches have been in 15 or more finals and guess what, Scott is still 3rd last with only Worsfold and Eade behind him.
I thought it was the silverware that mattered too. Who in 50 years time will remember the best finals coach never to win one...He's actually equal second if you're counting premierships.
HAHA... I still call GMHBA Stadium Kardinia Park..... same as the JLT, I still refer to it as the Fosters Cup!
I watched as much VFL as I could last year. Constable was interesting. He got good numbers in games I saw but I rarely noticed him.
Then I set out to watch him as a priority in a late season game at home and he surprised me. No fuss but always near the action and clean .
It may have been his best game for the year but he also got into dangerous positions forward of the ball and was used a couple of times with very good results.
He doesn't seem to have any stand out attributes other than good game sense and that ability to get involved and use it well - in close especially.
He is one we really need to break in and demonstrate those same skills at the next level.
I agree with Mr B -
The kids hold the key to 2019. They FORCE their way into best 22 and we are back in it. They stall and we fall.
Constable, Narkle, Fogarty, Esava, MOC, plus two mature blokes Abbott and Fort.
Carji’ Greeves Medal – Top 10The Guthries, S.Selwoods, Rohans, Taylor, Stanley, menegola
Will need to earn spots every week instead of being walk up starts. If the Match committee is serious about spots being available we should see it in the pre season!

Absolutely agreed.
I thought Ling’s comments on the midfield during the last season was telling. Basically he could see how the style of the holy trinity were counter productive and easy to disrupt especially by a foot here or a hand there that moved the ball in the opposite direction. Exactly how that all works technically I can’t say so reliant on people’s comments who do. I wish ling or Corey were our mid coaches. Am not sure of knights and I think our midfield has been somewhat dysfunctional at times. Bigger issue than the fwd line especially in finals.

Daft if think Menegola doesn’t walk into this team
The Ablett up forward calls surprise me. Maybe people are relying on the heights of his namesake but reality suggests it won't work given he can't really mark overhead these days given his shoulder issues.
Ablett is better served as an outside player who can create and distribute. I'd be playing him on a wing.
Dustin Martin hasn't got a defensive bone in his body either.
Can't really rely on that because from everything I've read Kolo will struggle to hold a position in defence and yet, was 1 of the best 6 earlier there last season.Carji’ Greeves Medal – Top 10

You never cease to surprise!If we're counting inherited silverware then he's up there, otherwise he's totally useless
Troll? Lol what?Pretty sure what I said was menegola was a walk up start.
That was the whole point of the quote I said he was a walkup start. And if the match committee is serious about young players he will have to play well to hold his spot.
Troll on elsewhere gero
Troll? Lol what?
He’ll be a walk up start because history shows he does play well.
Blimey it’s not hard
