Changes v the Cats
- Thread starter momentai
- Start date
Hawkins, and in particular Cameron are pretty good players, but really if we think we are a good team, we have decent match ups for them both- Balta and Grimes and/or Broad.
Last year Hawkins had his only goalless game for the year, with Tarrant on him, while Cameron was dangerous.
Stewart's effectiveness is dictated a little by the oppositions forward delivery.
Fair point- maybe if fans around you are booing get them to stop if Stewart is racking up the ball!
And why only 1/4 time for the umps?
It’s all I’ve got in a raspy voice box. Even if I yell something just once or twice during a game, I’ve near lost my voice at the end of it. Sound like Tom Waits the next day. Same when I get colds and do a bit of coughing.
It didn't work in the game that he did knock out Prestia. We lost by a goal and Stewart was best on ground, taking a game saving mark with only minutes remaining, despite relentless booing by tigers fans. Reckon he would have reveled in it.
Hopefully we hurt him where it really counts - the scoreboard.
I won't bother booing, but would probably give a bronx cheer if I saw him hobbling off with a hamstring strain or some other relatively minor injury though.
So do we play Young
Balta , Grimes , Broad , Vlastuin
Hawkins - Balta
Cameron - Broad
Henry - Grimes
Simpson - Vlastuin

Early prognosis
Gibcus is set to play minutes in the VFL this week, his first game for the year after hamstring surgery, while Soldo and Young need to get through training. Nankervis is closing in on a return, as is Rioli jnr. Lynch is out of his moonboot, but still "a while away", while Colina and Smith have both consulted external specialists. Brown is close to being ticked off for a return to play, and Campbell is "de-loading" to help build strength in his adductor. Trent Cotchin is also available after a week's rest. - Sarah BlackHighlighted players in their expected best 23.

Early prognosis
Geelong will be without skipper Dangerfield for the next few weeks after he suffered a hamstring strain against Adelaide. De Koning could be available after undergoing facial and nasal surgery last week, but will need to prove his fitness later in the week. Rohan and Bowes are still missing with the soft tissue injuries they suffered against Essendon in round seven. – Josh Gabelich
Both have significant outs but Lynch is the big one here. Similar to cats if they had no J Cameron.
If we are able to score heavily as we did against the Eagles, i.e. finding ways to kick goals without Lynch then this will go a long way in winning the match.
We have our entire midfield so I would say we would win the midfield battle, just have to capitalise going inside 50

We just need everyone to mention to Stewart as they walk past "Guess what", when he says "what", they reply "Marlions gonna get ya". All variations of that. Doesn't need to get him per se, big hard hits but might be enough to have him hearing footsteps to rush his disposal and maybe drop a few marks. Get him way off his game.
It would concern me if I thought I was going to be crunched by Marlion at any second

Nothing wrong with that Drofder, old mate Tom managed to make a long career out of sounding like that.
What we have to do if our midfield is able to get on top is kick the goals. That’s killed us all season.
I’d give anything to sound like Mr Waits just for a day. Stick on my favourite ever album Rain Dogs and sing along all day.
Aah so this is what is behind the Marlion forward move. 2 games to prep
