Stick it to him, Ralphsy rub that prick's nose in it

I assume this means MOC or Mullin come on field, Clohesy/Duncan in as the 23rd and gifts Knevitt a starting gig.

Letting players make their own call fitness wise is always the best decision huh ........

 

[SC fish]

I'm thinking Stewart OUT is good for SDK and COS scoring is that the case?

 

[gutsroy]

Gastro eh

Typical C Scott sheistyness.
Test Tickle few Cata supporters seem to think Bruh might get the call up? Wait and see, Scott will probably replace another four blokes with Romanian circus dwarves before the first bounce

Doubt it, they'll have to play on TT/Fogarty/Tex

Means Zuthrie and Lawson will get freed up

Cats fabs: not chipping Catters, just C Scott with his tiresome antics

Nah you're showing a clear anti-Geelong bias. Can't have that around here mate

Explosive news.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I do laugh at the Scott bashing. It's a club policy and the docs are the smoking gun. Not the coach lol.

We will always name a player if they are some chance to play at selection time. Easier to take them out if they don't get up than trying to get them in if they do.

Genetic condition apparently. It runs in the genes.

Buck stops with the coach. The fact Geelong are clearly the least transparent club in the AFL when it comes to injuries and late outs, the bashing is to be expected.

The thing that bugs most people is the knowledge that Player A will not be playing, and Geelong leave it til the last minute to make it known to the public that Player B is in fact playing (when Player B was always playing inside the 4 walls).

It's all mind games and deceit to the opposition but it's a pure pain in the ass as a supporter.

Well the GEEL news certainly took the Crows by surprise

Some poor hotel staff probably had to clean up Stewart's toilet bowl Thursday morning and that's how the news leaked.

The classification of injuries is the least transparent in football. Cannot argue that.

The behaviour around team selection has been spoken about at length by a few within the club. They are unapologetic for picking guys under injury/illness questions and not ruling them out early as to give them as long as possible to possibly play. Easier than doing the opposite.

Which is precisely what the Crows are doing tonight with Rankine.

 

[goondog]

That way too early - a real late out is still the norm

Sniff sniff

 

[crafty_bernardo]

lol almost even thought about bringing Stewart in as a cheapie this week. Makes me even want to undo my Smith trade for the Geel injury BS

AFL is so insular there would be minimal advantage in the selection games they play.

And they have done it so often now teams expect shenanigans.

But that's my point. The purpose isn't to get a HUZZAH moment and trick the other club.

It's to give every player with a niggle or injury every possible chance to play, and there'd be many games where that strategy has resulted in no late change, no SC community outrage, and that player having a good game contributing to wins.

That's why I find the raging at Scotty funny. He's not doing it to be a campaigner to SC players or oppo coaches. He's trying to maximise his team to win games.

If a player needs another 24 hours to be fit, he shouldn't be playing .....the fact in each of the last 4 games, there's been a late out, shows the folly of the tactic

I understand that as an importer-exporter par excellence, you’ll be under the pump at the moment with all the tariff turmoil, Art. (Beautiful word, ‘tariff’). Tough time for us all.
But my feelings don’t care about your facts.
You can stick your cool, rational analysis where the sun don’t shine, pal.
It’s my party and I’ll melt if I want to.
Don’t make me Alf you, Art, nobody wins in a scorched earth scenario.
