Stevie J
I was thinking last night who would we put on Stevie J. The first guy that came to mind was Sean Dempster.
Im thinking wed play Dempster on him - if that failed then Max. And last resort Sammy Fisher.
Thoughts?

Re: Stevie J
dempster wuld not be ready to play on Johnson. Dempster has only just started playing again this week. it would take him a number of games to get back to what he was playing like before the knee. probably won't come back into the seniors untill near the end of the year or if the saints had many injuries (hope not)Con Gorozidis wrote:I was thinking last night who would we put on Stevie J.

Yep. Even Fisher from the outset. Gilbert I think would absolutely smash Mooney at ground level and in the air. Just that kind of match up.vacuous space wrote:There's no way Max will take Johnson. He spends way too much time up the ground for Max. My guess is Gilbert will get first crack and then Fisher if that doesn't work. Max will probably take Mooney.

my issue is if u put fisher on him you lose fishers run. i like having fisher on the 3rd forward to he can run off him.ohwhenthesaints! wrote:He is in brilliant form, and I think very difficult to match up on. It needs to be someone that even though they may lose a few rounds, will still manage to pick themselves up and keep trying. That makes me lean towards Fisher, experience and a little older and wiser?

I prefer Fisher as a lock-down defender because he rarely gets beaten, and I think if you can stop Johnson it goes a hell of a long way to beating Geelong because without him it's a pretty average forward line that's made to look good because of their midfield. I'd say give Fisher the first crack at him and hope Johnson goes kick chasing and takes himself out of their F50. If that fails, Gilbert is probably the next option.
Who I definately don't want to see on him is Blake. If Blake goes to Johnson he will run rings around him and we will probably get smashed.

Exactly - why the hell is everyone so hung up about Geelong at the moment??kosifantutti23 wrote:Who's Stevie J?
I looked through the Kangaroos list and I can't find him.
We have another 3 teams we have to deal with before we play Geelong in 4 weeks time
Anything can happen in that time and there is even a chance that SJ might not even be playing and believe it or not there is also a chance that Geelong don't make it too the last Saturday in September
All this talk of us playing Geelong in the Grand Final is shite - on form the chances are we could play the Bulldogs (or we might not make it at all )
NORTH MELBOURNE people we play NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS this weekend
Hey I know you are only discussing certain future scenarios but seriously enough of the Geelong crap already - we will deal with them in 4 weeks time

If they have Hawkins, Mooney and Johnson, then: Goose on Hawkins, Zac on Mooney and Max on Johnson. Either Sam Gilbert, or Sam Fisher across half forward/leading up to the wings, to allow Nick and Kosi to stay deep forward, as Buddy and Roughead did for Hawthorn last year.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.

so what. given none of us are actually in the team and this is a footy forum. i think its ok to discuss hypothetical scenarios.Devilhead wrote:Exactly - why the hell is everyone so hung up about Geelong at the moment??kosifantutti23 wrote:Who's Stevie J?

if we were actually playing - then yes - we should focus on the kangaroos - but given we are fans - and what we focus on does not effect the teams performance one iota (i know some of you like to believe it does). im happy to discuss stevie j and the cats and possible match ups. it is also relevant because it involves sean dempsters current re-hab from injury - and i am suggesting he is important for us going forward.
so devilhead - unless you are actually IN the 22 this week. then you should stop pretending you are.

The problem or should i say the boredom lies in the fact that when we do come to play Geelong (in 4 weeks time) this subject will be 100% fully rehashed again under another topic titleCon Gorozidis wrote:

But hey you are right you can discuss whatever you like on this forum and if you really feel the need to talk about our potential match-ups for a player that may or may not be playing against in 4 weeks time then knock your self out
