It appears Gary Rohan is turning in some Swans-like performances for the Cats now too
Nine things we learned: The top two recruits of 2019 are Lions - AFL.com.au
Geelong's scoring issues in the past five weeks are certainly not resting on the shoulders of Gary Rohan, particularly as he missed one of those games through injury. But there's no doubt the Cats would like to have him back at the form he showed in the first half of the season. The former Sydney speedster kicked 20 goals in his first nine games at Geelong, and became a key element to a new-look forward set up that powered the Cats to the top of the ladder. But in the past seven games he has played, Rohan has managed only three goals, including one from just six disposals against Hawthorn in Sunday's loss. His unpredictability, sheer pace and goal sense became a feature of the Cats' forward half in a breakout start to the season, and they need his spark back as they set up for September. - Callum Twomey
Cats fans will turn on Gary like Swans fans did. Does to his eye-catching potential, he's an easy scapegoat when times are tough.
(I was a little anti-gary too).
+1 .....I was just about to post something similar when I saw that article....my thoughts were 'same old, same old'. Sort of confirms that for all his potential, Gary will be inconsistent and go missing in pressure games (and finals) until he retires.....and that we did the right thing by letting him go.
He is often summed up as a 'confidence player'......which I've always taken as code for being 'mentally weak'. It's a real pity because he has always had the physical ability to tear games apart.

Speaking of 'past players, notice Naismith is available to play this week.
Just noticed 100 NEAFL games for Jack Hiscox. I always rated him, thought he could've become a regular for us but obviously the club thought differently and delisted him 2016.
He was recently left out of one Sydney Uni NEAFL squad.
