R12 - Geelong v Richmond (game day thread)

[Smoking Aces]

Any news on Mykelti? That made me feel sick, he is the bright spark this year.

I am no doctor but don’t look good. Every time a player instantly grabs their knee it’s not a good sign.

 

[RUNVS]

He is no good. Came into the game when our mids died in the arse.

Its not that we needed Bowes but more importantly pick 7.

You also have to pay him $700k. It’s not just the pick you get. It’s the baggage of paying a VFL standard player that amount of money.

 

[nafe brown]

Hopefully just an hipher extinction..

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Mansell just can’t get his hands on the ball. 6d, 2 after 1/4 time. I really don’t see what he offers.

He comes from a good family and speaks really well.
But is allergic to leather.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Lefau sent the Vikings head into orbit.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

I would play Blight, Gray and Bauer in the ones for the rest of the year now. Just put them in and let’s see what they’ve got

Drawn the short straw with the umps l see

There are straws which aren't short?

[Little Ziggyadee]

Did Geelong break the world record for Baulks??
they destroy us with the old show the ball and run around.

Bauer might be injured.

Hyper extension, looked like to me, so probably not an ACL?

 

[67 special]

When you consider we had Taranto, Bolton, Prestia, Hopper all out…..so effectively we had a third or fourth string midfield - we did incredibly well. No surprise we got overrun with so many kids out there…. On the other hand - bit disappointed with lack of composure and stupid mistakes in backline by experienced players….But prob an almost perfect result. …pushed them early, but ensured we kept our draft spot…
Cats are gone surely - with the team we fielded, at Sleepy Hollow…. Very ordinary effort from them.

The pick 7 isnt as good as our mccauliffe either

 

[Tigaman]

Good effort by Tigers if that is the best Catters can do . No wonder they lost last three on the trot. Core effort good but lacked. the expertise of Taranto Hopper Bolton Ross etc etc.

 

[leon]

Just saw, sorry if already reported, but 16 x HTBs, 12 for Cats/12 Tigers. You just knew that's how it would work with us.

# Edit: Just corrected

Definitely looked like an extensive hyper-extension

 

[Tigers2011]

Tries hard ............. If Hugo hit contests like Mansell does hed be a real likely type, and if Mansell could run and cover ground like Hugo hed also be more useful.

Why wouldn’t they have tried him in the midfield after halftime to both get him into the game and to relieve the kids who were floundering.

He isn’t a forward. He’s yet another half back flanker or run with player.

Another Disaster Injury wise.

Lefay possibly PCL

PCL maybe from football impact to knee, like the old Ruck injuries.

Better than ACL but still season ending.
