Agree completely. Play Gaz as a small lead up forward. Will give you more than Menzel. Danger needs more midfield time.

We are lacking a CHF that can play as that link up guy in the centre third. Buzza is no good. My mail is they are looking at a good kid in the SANFL in his early 20's who could fill that role.....


Funny, you've both said he can't tackle anymore yet you want him to play small forward? That's why he's running around the outside of the midfield contests so he doesn't have to do the tackling.

What about Baby Hueys miss from 3'' out in the 1st qtr ? Would have put Geelong well ahead instead Adelaide got a roll on.

Tackled ok last night. Actually was one of the main reasons we stayed in it in the last quarter. His work inside was really good.

Contracted until the end of 2019 I think. Hopefully he stays, but his Missus hates Victoria. Happy wife.......Happy life.

You can't not re-sign the coach of the 2018 premiership team mate.

Their top half a dozen players do a pretty good job of keeping them there abouts.

I think you're being a bit harsh saying their bottom dozen are very average. No team makes finals with a dozen very average players.

Their top dozen are right up there as the best in the league though (hence why they are bottom half of the eight instead of top four)

It was a safe decision, I think he is an okay coach not a great. Bottom 6 players consistently the issue, hard to replace so many stars though.
