Re: Round #11 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap-Sledge- Mitch Wallis 9 tackles, a very solid effort. To the rest of our players WHY THE *!*!*!*! IS AN 18 YEAR OLD LEADING OUR TACKLE COUNT, it is a bloody disgrace.

Slaps: Gia & Griff (2 BOG)
Howard - 2009 draft selections look vindicated

Sledge: Pretty much everything else

Howard playing 2 decent games doesn't vindicate an entire draft selection nor does it validate the position in the draft he was taken.

Looks a helluva lot better than two weeks ago.

Perhaps tackling is beneath them?

slap: Wallis for whilst he hasn't quite got his game flowing yet, he's trying hard and doing everything he can defensively.

slap: Howard, he's shown already he's going to be a better option than Stack in only 2 games of footy.

sledge: Wood, Big ask for him to come straight in after his injury but he's been very ordinary in his defensive efforts in the last 2 games. For someone with rare speed and agility in our side he was further away from his opponent than most others were. Let's hope he finds his aggression and form back soon.

sledge: The entire team for letting Josh Hunt smack 2 of our players and get away with it without even some harsh words.
This guy is built like a brick you know what but is as soft as butter. He picks Grant and Gia to have a go at i mean seriously, what a tough guy he is. Our lack of response was just disgraceful. Since when do you not stand up for your teamates?

sledge: Our fitness and recruiting staff. I know they can only do what they can with the type of cattle they receive but why is it that even Geelong's kids look bigger than any of our players? Young Vardy has got more size than any of our senior bodies, and our senior mids like Gia, Cross, Picken, Gilbee, Murphy, Ward are getting smaller and smaller. Perhaps we haven't got the balance right when it comes to endurance vs size?

Re: Round #11 - Slaps and Sledges

I feel Easton Wood deserves a slap.
Battled all day, still inexperienced and only 2nd game back from a pretty serious injury.


Sledge? I'm with ghost dog. What's the point?

Those guys have never been giants. And never will be. Ward and Picken, whilst being in the 22, are not what I would call
"senior"

I know what you're saying though.
