Interesting is one way to put it

I notice above the FKs were 16-26

Love to see what they were in the last ten minutes

I reckon Geelong got 6 frees in that time and continually got territory because of them

Ah you stole my thunder

In 97/98 he was sensational, went at over 70% in those two years for accuracy

I can’t remember did injuries cruel him, cause he was gone pretty quickly after that

Re: Why was Owens moved off Stewart

At some point … we had to actually kick a score to win. It looked like Owens was told to be more offensive than defensive. Bit weird that an 18yo was charged with that responsibility but, the other forward were fairly pox and maybe that was Ratten’s ‘Paul Weston’ move. Who knows? Why not an 18yo, w...

Why was Owens moved off Stewart

Up to half time Stewart had 4 Fantasy points (this included a negative second quarter)

Owens had been sensational putting pressure on him

Then after half time Owens was not on him and suddenly Stewart was back to what he does best

Seemed a very strange move to me

Think Lienert could have played and rest either forward or in the back line and maybe throw Cooper Sharman forward.
Especially since Geelong bought in Stanley, so now have Ceglar and Stanley v Roma

I suspect late changes from both sides

Taranto is nowhere near “fringe talent”

Re: Who do we trade out for picks and player

Every season we have these conversations where supporters completely over estimate the value of their players Jones and Paton are almost worthless in a trade for picks and as others have said 3rd round picks are meaningless (except if you are chasing points for a father/son or academy) Maybe Billing...

Re: MMM reporting Paddy is done

Heath is a long way off. Campbell should get a game as he is really working hard at Sandy, and maybe some of the senior players could look at his work rate. I sensed Paddy also seemed to drop in intensity when he returned after being rubbed out earlier in the season, let alone leg injury. A long wa...
