you have to take risks and hope fortune favours the brave..
Scott wasnt convinced Geelong had the game won and started Dangerfield at FF in the last quarter even though he had been their best midfielder......he took the risk and it paid off.
Bolton lacks imagination or courage to make moves IMO....Jones has the capability of being a good swingman, we needed to kick goals, take marks down forward/contest better to create more crumbs and get Stewart occupied more.
Harry, Kerr and Charlie was too tall for those conditions and I would have taken Harry and Kerr off and used Charlie, Jones and 4 smaller forwards.....
No offence EB but I’m glad the selection committee didn’t shortlist your application for the coaching position
Taking Jones out of the backline would have let the Geelong forwards off the leash and it wouldn’t have improved our delivery into the forward line. I’m not sure that Jones’ time in defence will have improved his ability to play as a key forward. I suspect that, with Jones forward, we would have had fewer inside 50s and an out of position key forward failing to get to the ball.
McKay, Kerr and Curnow weren’t too tall for the conditions, they were too inexperienced. Swapping two of them for Jones wouldn’t have made much difference ... and who would we have played in defence, Kerr perhaps?
