What about grian miers he’s dangerous

Boyd IMO.

 

[Benaly28]

So the geelong board saying we haven’t beaten much and the media re hyping us up.Perhaps.

But let’s see who they have beaten.

Saints(bottom 8)
Crows (bottom 8)
Dogs average
Hawks ( bottom 4)
Lions (bottom 6 at the Gabba)
North (bottom)

Pretty much full strength every week.

US:
Lions
Tigers
North
Freo
GWS

Lost to crows.

Best win last week with 6-8 of our best missing.

Maybe I’m missing something.

[JuddgementDay]

If all three emergencies are held over (Binns for Orazio) I am guessing at least one, or maybe both, of Weitering or Williams still has a fitness test to pass today?

More testing today?

If they are not 100%, rest them - next man up!

Anyway, us by 13 points

 

[RAPPA]

Has to be like for like in which case Fantasia out, S Durdin in.

 

[Arr0w]

Think Carroll will be the sub

 

[TheReal99prelim]

What about grian miers he’s dangerous

Perfect job for Cotterel IMHO. Consequential roles can be rotated easily around Cotterel

 

[TheReal99prelim]

Boyd IMO.

Share with Cotterel??
When Cotterel on Miers, would love to see Boyd play a bit more fwd of centre and pin point passes I50
Mix it up I say

 

[BlueLocke]

Docherty to assist on Blues bench

There'll be a familiar face on the boundary line for Carlton against Geelong.

will assist the coaching staff from the boundary line starting in Carlton’s crunch clash with Geelong.

 

[BlueLocke]

Hoping this is the game Durdin shows he’s got the ability to be a genuine forward threat. Tough, skilled and knows where the goals are - just needs to put on a 4 quarter performance and make his opportunities count.

 

[haveago]

The VFL exclusions suggest Weiters, Williams and perhaps Orazio are late outs?????

Seriously hope Weiters plays.

Cinc for Williams seems the obvious too.

All the very best for Binns if he come in for Fantasia and I hope he does.

It’s just the way supporters are. Will always talk about the opposition, “haven’t beaten much”, “their injuries are to unimportant players” and never have any self awareness about who their own club have beaten and their almost perfect injury run.

If we had 3 changes we would hold out 4 players. Being that 3 were held out I would think 1-2 changes. Sounds like Binns will be in for Fanta.

You need a couple of contingencies in case someone hurts themselves in the warmup

 

[RPCB]

Would love to see Binns come in.

Would hate to see us lose Weiters for today.

 

[The Bighouse]

Boyd IMO.

Reckon Cincotta would have been a good inclusion this week, GM or Stengle.

 

[The Bighouse]

I see our best team for 2024 as

Backs - Boyd Weitering Kemp
Backs - Williams McGovern Saad
Wings - O Hollands Cripps Acres
Forwards -E Hollands McKay Martin
Forwards - Durdin Curnow Motlop
Rucks Pitto Cerra Walsh
Int TDK Kennedy Cotts Hewett - Fogarty / Marchbank

Out of todays team I have:

Newman
Owies
Carroll
Cowan
Fantasia
Young

Tough on Noodles & think the MC would be thinking the same for his omission.

 

[athensblue]

Stay healthy and Just win

 

[BennyGFunk]

Sounds like the other week when Williams was mentioned as an out - he played

Wait until the club announces something before talking s**t

Voss himself said they both passed their training tests and are fine to play. Weitering did not have a compression bandage either, you'd think he'd be wearing one if it was bad enough to possibly rule him out.

 

[mjonc43]

Why take 3 players out of the VFL, if we have no late change?

[BlueZombie]

Who are we supposed to have lost now pre match for Binns & others to be late ins? Weiters and Willo I'm assuming? I'm already getting sympathy texts from my Geelong mate for petessakes.

We’ve always had three emergencies on standby in case

Theyre in for a reality assessment in a few hours

Voss doesn’t muck around - can’t see him saying the W’s ok to play and pull a swifty.

I’d be surprised.

 

[SolGoodman]

At Riverland, a whole heap of Cats supporters. Think we’re in for a big crowd today.
