Currently there are 6 teams that have a significant home ground advantage by creating a cauldron, hostile type atmosphere. WCE, Freo, Port, Adelaide, Sydney and possibly Brisbane (don’t count GWS and Suns).  The disadvantage for them is the travel that they are committed to, every 2nd week.

How would it be if a team had the cauldron.....but didn’t have excess interstate travel??? Enter GEELONG. 

Significant, significant advantage has been handed to the pussies!!

No offence EB but I’m glad the selection committee didn’t shortlist your application for the coaching position 

Taking Jones out of the backline would have let the Geelong forwards off the leash and it wouldn’t have improved our delivery into the forward line.  I’m not sure that Jones’ time in defence will have improved his ability to play as a key forward.  I suspect that, with Jones forward, we would have had fewer inside 50s and an out of position key forward failing to get to the ball.

McKay, Kerr and Curnow weren’t too tall for the conditions, they were too inexperienced.  Swapping two of them for Jones wouldn’t have made much difference ... and who would we have played in defence, Kerr perhaps?

But if you take Jones out of defense and put him forward we have to put a forward into defense, I can't see Kerr or McKay playing down there at this stage of their careers, likely disaster

a. Lacking experience,
b. lacking synergy,
c. lacking a quick thinking footy brain

Hopefully a or b.

Deathly silence on Menegola kicking Rowe in the head!

We had Rowe, Weitering and OShea as taller types plus Plowman, we didnt need another tall down back....they only had Hawkins and the medium sized Crameri, Stanley rucked and the young lad who broke his ankle left them short. I would have benched McKay and Kerr.....

Here it is. Someone email to afl hq.

No mistaking what went down....id Ed gets a weeks for that pathetic contact, this guy gets 3 weeks.

Yet their talls won the game in marking contests.

The evidence might suggest that you have got this one a little wrong.

FWIW I thought Stewart was not very good even though he got a lot of the ball. Tuohy sliced us up to setup the first goal of the final term to Danger.  Had me wondering where Jed Lamb went although some players actually play better when targeted with a bit of niggle.

That is a video of Menegola kicking the goal of the year.

The marking targets on both sides had very poor nights which suggests defenders were on top, watching the game I'd have to say disposal from both teams was very bad.
