Why would you drop Jackson when he was actually prety good on Judd and we really need a tagger in this game??

I must have missed something.

Jackson had no influence on the game and Judd had a major influence.

The whole Carlton team had a major influence on the game, Jackson at least had 3 tackles, I would drop at least 6 others before him. McMahon also had the 3rd equal highest tackle count for the night with 4 so there goes some others theories there.

Geelong want to release Tom Hawkins on us and drop Lonergan.

"The Cats have consistently dominated Richmond over the past 15 years. They have won 11 of the past 12 matches and 23 of the past 29.  :P

Geelong full-back Matthew Scarlett is certain to play despite suffering an ankle injury in Friday's win over Hawthorn."

Polo, Hislop and Rance can all pick up that slack, they can all tackle.

Jackson failed on Thursday night, there is no two-ways about it, regardless if 18 other blokes did as well, he was right down the bottom of failures and should go for Polo to come in.

Expected ugly conditions at the Cattery (Age)

Expected ugly conditions won't help Cats
March 31, 2009 - 8:59PM

Predicted ugly conditions for Saturday's AFL match against Richmond will most likely mean more focus on Geelong's goalkicking for at least another week.

Cats coach Mark Thompson says the demolition of the small grandstand in the south-west corner of Skilled Stadium has created a wind tunnel that has sometimes made for tough training conditions.

"It's been really unpredictable and hard to even train for us at times," he said.

"They're expecting cloud and wind, so it might be a really ugly game.

"A lot of the wind comes from that direction, that very pocket."

That will not help the Cats' shots on goal, which has become an ongoing talking point.

Well now with Nahas being elevated I have revised my squad and I think with the preassure Wallace may buckle and drop McMahon. Doesn't seem to be many people having a crack at the team this week.

FB: Newman Thursfield McGuane
HB: Tambling Moore Rance
C: Richo Deledio Polo
HF: Tuck Riewoldt Brown
FF: Morton Schulz Nahas
FOLL: Simmo Foley Jackson

Interchange: White, Hislop, Bowden, Browne

Ins: Hislop, Polo, Rance, Nahas
Outs: Cousins, Raines, Edwards, McMahon

Emerg: Cog's, Collins, Silvester

Collins deserves a spot!
Also its funny how we talk about tackles but forget to ever mention Sheppard's - we just don't do the things that good sides do.

Looks good on the stat sheet but you don't win games by stat chasing.

If TW cant get us to do the hard things I hope we get Buckley as he wont suffer soft possession football -pity he's got a Collingwood side.

Terry Wallace expects a red-hot dip (RFC, Sportal)
« Reply #24 on: April 03, 2009, 02:50:57 PM »
from the RFC site....

The Tigers travel down the Princes Highway to Geelong to battle the Cats on Saturday afternoon having made three unforced changes. Wallace said how the team responds to last week’s thrashing at the hands of Carlton would be seen after the first bounce.

“The response is always how you go about your football, it’s not about what you say or what you do on the training track, although the training track is obviously where it starts.

“Clearly our supporters want to see a competitive group and that’s what the players have got to show.

“What our supporters do expect is that blokes will have a red-hot dip and get out and represent the colours the way they should.”

After last weeks insipid performace nothing short of the courage shown by Francis Bourke in 1980 will be acceptable.I want to see half the team bandaged up like mummies because they have put their bodies on the line for the RFC.

God I hate the word "competitiveness".It was ok in 2007 but not now.

Any talk or promises means nothing unless we see something real to back it up tomorrow.

Geez match-ups are hard to come up with  :help. The only "weakness" Geelong seems to have is you try to play through Milburn's opponent as he's getting older and slower. But to do that you need to win the footy and pump it down the guts into our forward line quickly. The wet weather is going to keep the ball on the ground more too.
