Our mids won't face Nankervis and Taranto laying 20 tackles between them in clearances.
Our mids really need to stamp their authority on this one and give our backs a chop out for a week. Good game for TDK to shine.

I reckon that we would probably have a few more players that need close checking ... not that Geelong usually bother with that. I imagine that it will just be players going head to head with Ed getting a run with role if one of the Geelong prime movers is doing too miuch damage.

I'd save Ed for Dangerfield, Guthrie will probably tag Cripps at stoppages then run off him. Going to be a real chess game of moves...hopefully Hewett plays and can help Cripps and Kennedy.

IMO I'd have Pittonet/Dow in for Martin and maybe Owies.....and leave Fisher and Motlop as the small forwards....Dow as the extra midfielder. JSOS can play forward/mid and not worry about getting smashed around the ground trying to ruck.

The Geelong outs will certainly help, and do give us a better chance, but I still think they'll be too strong. Cats by 2 goals.

On crutches with a back injury? Hell no!
This is different to the ligament replacement last year. As we found out, as soon as it was inserted, his ankle was good to go, at least after the swelling caused by the keyhole surgery abated. No such luck with back injuries. Leave him be until he’s fully over it and then wait another week or 2 to make sure he won’t have a relapse.

Even if you rest him for the rest of the year (like we'd done with Gov and Durdin) it doesn't mean your back will come good or not. Walsh has a history of being a good, quick healer and an excellent preperation. If he is 90% right, he'd be better value to us than Dow at 100%. |
