How good are the Cats?

Re: How good are the Cats?

Johnson would be my choice but they may force Johnson onto Harley who can't handle him.

Welsh has proved to be good on the chase and keeping the ball in, so he may get the nod with some expectations put on him not allowing Scarlett to run off.

You make it sound as though we have to pick up Scarlett?? With Scarlett being a back man should he not be picking up one of our forwards?

Ordinarily yes, but Scarlett prefers to zone off & play unaccountable football which seems to suit Geelong. He starts much of their run from defence, so keeping him occupied is vital.

Scarlett on Minson is dangerous would be like when he plays on Rocca but Rocca could move up he ground.

And you can try to go through Will as much as possible in this scenario to make Scarlett accountable, but he hasn't quite got his mits working overhead yet. He'd be a nice footballer once he works more on that aspect (I'm still a fan)

We may use the same set up as we did for the Collingwood game, ie no Minson at FF.

Potentially - unless you hit him on the chest, it's no guarantee.

Tom Williams could be a surprise forward option with Lonergan the 2nd forward optin at the moment not really that tall. Unless they promote Hawkins as well, then that's all Tommy's

When did 196cm suddenly become "not really that tall"?

Haha yeah. Since Giant Sandilands, I suppose.

Wayne Carey is short next to him.

Is he really? Clearly I haven't researched that - my bad (he doesn't look it)

He's in good form too, though I saw him get hit on the lead against Adelaide, not much overhead, which I associate with tall forwards.

Yeah it's hard taking chest marks and kicking goals from handballs over the top.

It can sometimes annoy me when people focus on short forward lines like ours - what's the difference between being 5'10 and 6'3 when the delivery is darted onto your chest leading out?

Granted, if you're kicking forward under pressure (which is the finals scenario that's constantly referenced by the media) you'll need a tall to take a pack mark or bring it to ground, but I think our current forward structure can get it done in September.

He looks it, he just doesn't play it. Everitt could handle him if Williams has to go to Ottens/Mooney.

about 9 minutes into the second quarter before Melb scored and it was an accidental rushed behind.
