Hogan gets off. Greene does not.

Astounding.
I’m sure there will be bleating about “tobytax”

Do not forget the Handbaggers were the team that complained about TDK last season getting the umpires onside to start penalising TDK in the latter part of the first half of the season. Penalised for basically jumping higher than opponents and as a result putting his knee in their chest. TDK was punished, punished for Scott's actions of basically playing an undone Stanley and an inured Blicavs in the ruck.
Last week Conway is another monster, gave McInerney a touch up, and after the injury to Stewart we saw Scott using Cameron behind the ball as a mobile stoppage option. TDK won't get such an easy or open run if Cameron repeats this strategy.
Why then has De Koning's frees against average remained remarkably consistent across his entire career? On the other hand, his frees for average has been steadily climbing.
I have been as mystified as the next punter when it comes to rucklotto frees in past seasons but De Koning wasn't singled out for special treatment by the umpires at Chris Scott's request.

All because of Scott whinging.
We had plenty of debate about this at the time, and the influence of our ruck coaches, surely you remember.

Think we need to cool the jets on the idea we can play 2 rucks most weeks.
Pitto had his best game for the club and contributed around the ground which is out of the box for him as he is generally only effective as a bullocking tap ruckman and does sfa around the game. Last week was the perfect game but its one out of how many?
TDK was ultra effective as a forward and snagged 3 and should have had 4.
My point is both played blinders and the game was on a dry track. Wont work every week and personally i prefer going in with the one tall in TDK.
Ideally I hope last week becomes a regular occurrence as its so difficult for the opposition to play against it but i need to see it as good as last week again and again before im convinced.

I think we've probably reached the stage where we aren't necessarily committed to either option (one ruck/ or two)
Voss said as much in his post match conference.
Some weeks we may go with one.
Other weeks we may go with two.
Some weeks either option will work.
Other weeks the opposition may find a way to negate any advantage an option provides
I'm sure the Geelong brains trust will be having a real good look at it this week.
One point that probably needs to be made is that Cripps is a fan of having Pittonet in the side....and it kind of showed.
Another is that if TDK is the sole ruck it will probably reduce any 'forward' effectiveness he may bring.
This has never been a simple argument because there are variables and pluses and minuses all over the place.
I reckon by the end of the season we'll have a much better idea of how things will work.
What we need to see is both our big men fit and healthy for the duration.

We need to plan well for the following....
Blicavs will go to Cripps
Atkins will go to Walsh
If the pussies win those match-ups (or break-even), we are severely hamstrung.
Re: AFL Rd 6 2024 Post Game Review Carlton vs GWS - Lods - 04-24-2024
Probably of most concern is the Weitering availability.

Geelong have traveled 3 times already this year, played in the rain last week, are very conscious of overloading their aging players (Hawkins rested recently) and have played Saints, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Bullies, North and Brisbane.
Have they REALLY been put to the sword, especially away from their paddock?? A similar situation to GWS last week, they have the wins....but against who?? They are ripe for the picking!!
