    To be fair, regardless of the weather the ground is going to be rather wet after the traditional pre-Friday night Geelong game watering.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

The heat is on for spots, with teh bottom 6 players needing to really show something, good for the team, tough for selection
    I am not sure what you mean Gong? I think Armstrong and AJ are both capable of very long kicks out of defence. The other thing it does give us is the chance to mix it up in the kick outs. Mal, Marty and Rhyce are pretty predictable, whereas Armstrong is a real wildcard when kicking in. He mixes it up every time he kicks in and then runs on for the second effort. Mal has been pretty poor at delivery over the last month and this is the problem. You can't continue to play a bloke who may have the ability to destroy a team with pinpoint kicking but just gives the ball up.

    I certainly hope they keep Satchmo in. He has been a breath of fresh air on rebound. Almost like Kennelly at his best.

    I agree. Malceski's become a bit of a dud...

    Fairly predictable.
    TDL can count himself a bit stiff.
    Everitt can count himself a bit lucky.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    TDL unlucky - must have wanted the bigger body of Andrejs in against the Cats..... Hope we see Trent back soon.....

    Looking a bit tall, but again, after the Dons game I'm not going to judge...

    Fairly predictable that Everitt will be the sub.

    Likely, but I don't agree with it. He usually takes a while to warm into the game and is one of if not the most ineffective sub in terms of being able to come on and make an impact. Having said that though, I was pleasantly surprised with his last game.

    It's my belief that Everitt is the longest kick in teh club right now. I been wrong b4, also his delivery inside 50 last week was very good, the one he squared to Hanners was exceptional. Both Armstrong and AJ are capable of 40, 50m. Everitt can kick from the square to the circle, it's an asset when u want to move the ball fast. At this point, Everitt would have better match fitness and has been ineffective as sub, so I'd probably play him
