Newnes hasn't been all that impressive this season.. He plays in a similar position. Newnes best position is being occupied by Geary. But we all know Geary can turn the ball over a thousand times and never be dropped, our leadership has some players who are struggling atm..
There is one that's been pretty sore recently so don't be surprised if one of the emergencies gets a gig.
Dunstan?

That's who I was thinking also. Which would open a nice little spot for Acres.

Shenton the obvious emergency to come in if Geary doesn't play.

You'd think Shenton if Gears is sore, has flown over so must be wait and see

Shenton would be the perfect replacement. One ball butcher for another ball butcher

Shenton is no where near as good as Geary defensively and think he could be slaughtered by Betts. If Geary is a late replacement you would have to bring in Acres and play someone else on Betts.

Roo didn't train today. Both Templeton and Shenton did train.

Round 4 2012

Steven, Jones, McEvoy, Hayes, Montagna
Riewoldt, Geary, Newnes, Goddard, Gilbert
Armitage, Koschitzke, Dempster, Fisher, Dal Santo
Blake, Stanley, Simpkin, Milera, Polo, Cripps, Milne

9 of those guys are still with us.
Isn't Simpkin still with us? I could be wrong though...

Hope not...Eddie would slaughter him as he plays loose.

I would move Newnes or Weller to defense to play on Eddie..though DMack probably has the right temprement.....or use Dempster, and bring in Acres to run through the midfield.

Thanks for your input and support, now just quietly disappear

FYI for the season Geary disposal efficiency is 74.1 , just behind nat fyfe!!

Idiot supporters who just pick a player and go at him , no matter what.

Slow down turbo.. It's an opinion of a player I don't really rate and never have. I don't care what the stats say my eyes show me that he turns it over when he tries to move it forward.. Anyone can get the disposal efficiency up by kicking it backwards and sideways.. He has good traits obviously,he is tough and courageous but that's as far as it goes in my opinion..

Hopefully the time will come when Geary can no longer make our team. He is a shocking butcher of the ball and if you can't dispose of the ball you shouldn't play. Just pray that Shenton never plays for us again. Last year at times we had CJ, Shenton, Gilbert and Geary running around for us. With Delaney and Dempster close by. My God, more butchers in that team than at the Vic market.

I don't know about the rest, but Geary and Shenton never played together last year.

Why is his disposal efficiency 74% then?

He is not the strongest kick but that stats suggest he plays within his limitations. Which is a good asset

Well you get your wish.

Hopefully someone keeps up with Eddie.
