Geelong promises no cheap shots on Nick Riewoldt in GF
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/g ... 5778354425
THERE will be no Mark Yeates-Dermott Brereton fireworks in this year's Grand Final with Geelong adamant it won't target St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt.
The Western Bulldogs tried to work over Riewoldt in the preliminary final but Cats coach Mark Thompson said yesterday his team wouldn't adopt similar tactics.
"We won't be going out of our way to do anything," Thompson said.
"We won't put any more physical pressure on any one individual than any other. That is not the way we really play."

Lets see if it doesn't happen should we be thrashing them by the half time mark
Whatever happens, if Roo goes down unfairly a remonstration must be furious!
If all of our players stand tall and share the load, the focus will lessen on Nick!
Time to produce the perfect storm!

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
Watch the 4 second mark of Rd 14 when Mooney comes directly off the HF line in an attempt to kill someone - luckily missed Gram and then Lenny remonstrated.
FFS that was only a H&A game, and was clearly a pre-designated instruction.
Bring it on Geelong, I think the article of denial shows they'll do the opposite.

"It's only the way we sort-of play. Because we don't do it all the time; just occasionally.""We won't put any more physical pressure on any one individual than any other. That is not the way we really play."
If anything were to 'happen', I wouldn't be surprised to see Steven King fly the flag as fiercely as anyone on the ground.

Your dreaming mate ,,,
have a bit of respect for them and yourself.
What will be next from this club ?
going by that article they are going to target everyone who gets in their way...going to be a very bruising encounter...last time the cats played hard ball with us 7 players didn't get up for the next game...this time there is more at steak and i wouldn't be surprised to see a few players with concussions from some heavy tackles....

If Geelong want to employ those tactics well good luck to them.
Who's to say we won't try a bit of it ourselves. If we have to go the knuckle to win an important contested ball then look out Cats.
Let's not forget Rossy Lyon was one of the hardest blokes to play the game. Didn't mind the old hip and shoulder from time to time.
I'd use all means to win a Grand Final. If that included pummelling someone into submission physically then I'd employ some of those tactics.
Its a Grand Final after all. Ultimate glory.

At the first couple of bounces, I reckon Clinton Jones and Nicky Dal are in danger of being 'picked off' by Mooney and Rooke. Mooney tried it in the R14 game adn luckily missed.
I reckon Roo will be targeted by Scarlett and Milburn in marking contests and not just blatantly 'picked-off'.
If Bummer said it was sunny outside I'd take an umbrella.

totally disagree. I have been impressed at the professionalism of Ross and Bomber. No cheap shots and a great deal of respect for each others team.Mr Magic wrote:At the first couple of bounces, I reckon Clinton Jones and Nicky Dal are in danger of being 'picked off' by Mooney and Rooke.

Great article by Leigh Matthews in Hun today regarding how good it is to have the best two sides in the GF with full lists to pick from.
I am excited......

I wonder if there is a thread on teh Cats fan forum wondering who Baker or Lenny is going to "pick off".
Its a GF FFS - its play for keeps - both teams.
BTW - I also agree regarding the two coaches. Bomber Thomson was a pratt around 2004, but has conducted himself very well over the past three years - even in the devestating loss in last year GF.
Anyone read the Lloyd article where he said he was taken aside by Thompson as a young player and admonised after he had brushed a fan aside. Thompson made it quite clear that the game was for the fans and never treat them that way.
Rossy is Rossy and I have never heard a disparaging remark toward a player or team or coach.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

This will be long forgotten by game day.....its more for publicity than anything.
Riewolt will be targetted , double teamed etc but he is used to it .
Time for Baker to iron out Gablett !!!!!

No beg pardons this week. It's winner take all, and nice guys don't win flags.

Let them earn it. Go boys! Whatever it takes.

The Cats might not try and do a Yeates on him....
But make no mistake despite what Bomber says they will seek to rough him up....just watch how they will fall on him when they tackle him, will sling him around in tackles etc...
They just will avoid "Lake" off the ball bumps that is all.
