Weitering has only played against Geelong twice, and only once against Geelong with Stanley, in a game we won scoring more than 100 pts. Weitering was injured in the 1st Qtr and played out the game strapped up, Stanley only scored 1 goal!
In the other game Hawkins tore Jones a new one, that was the game Dangerfield slung Kreuzer and got banned! Maybe that is why he potted the Curnow's in return? :o

Looking at the team I won't be surprised to find this is the week we see Jones get a run in the ruck.
Should be fine and dry Saturday night, expect Dangerfield to tunnel a few talls and be given a free kick for obstruction of whatever rule benefits him! 
I'd run Lamb on Ablett to keep Geelong distracted.

Touhy is another one we can exploit, looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane and craps himself if he gets caught one out against a marking player. Very loose as well.
Harry T. needs manning up or he'll take 15 intercept marks. Our Harry can go with him, run him around and blow him up, he can't be match fit.
Hawkins either kicks six or doesn't front up. Starve him and he won't be a factor.
Like you EB, I'm worried about the second tier players
such Duncan, Menegola, Parfitt etc. Too big, strong and fast for our blokes.
Ed can take down the ducker, the one in the best form of the three. Beat him and we're half way there. Run Kerridge against Danger and whomever on Ablett (Cunners or Daisy?)
Make them reactive and tag Cripper. If we win enough clearances, starve them and make them respond to us for once. If the other Selwood plays on Cripper everyone must help him out.
Would have played Graham myself. Kind of game he could be useful in.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

He hit up Lamb on the lead very nicely but earlier on he sent a long ball in which gave McKay no chance and was an uncontested Melbourne mark.
He was a bit stiff to be dropped this time but overall he's a very limited footballer.
There aren't too many top midfielders taken at pick 50 odd.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Yes, at pick 52 we did ok to get what we did as, while there's been some great later pick, most are usually delisted by now. Good for depth when we have a near full side out there but was unlucky this week to get dropped. There was worse.

He's nothing flash but he's a better player than Kane Lucas. ;D

Lucas was actually pretty smooth and skilful IMO. Gave the impression that he believed his skill would carry the day and he didn't really need to try. Basically a lifestyle footy player.

Just throwing it out there, Jones to be used as 2nd ruck.

Not sure why we aren't playing 2 rucks? We are bottom of the ladder and should be developing for the future.
