Why are people so unkind?

I like this - back the guy in for at least 2 games, he has good pace from stoppages and he has shown that he’s prepared to keep working hard despite our coach not rating him highly. He has good character, keeps turning up in the twos and is resilient and for those reasons alone I’d give him a run.

Love to see Dow get a run this week - I will be mostly curious whether he has learnt to chase and tackle after six years.

If it includes chase and tackle, great. If its to hit the scoreboard, great. If its to run with and negate a player, great. Whatever, use him to his strengths, don't try and make him something he is not. He cannot possibly be a bigger liability that Martin, Owies or Fisher right now.

Reminds me a bit of Darcy Parish who went from dud to stud in the space of 12 months.

We all said the same thing last year. He came into the 1's, eventually, and stunk it up.

They are going to name two debutants plus 2 injured players, thats what they think of us.

so I presume those two will be in...
I think we can win in a close one like I said before....

We've got our tickets and be going to this one.
Think it will be a big crowd and Geelong will need to face the Carlton Roar!
