No Hawkins could mean Geelong play a smaller forward line, and it might be wet.

Out: Soldo
Will he drop his ruckman again?

3rd qtr in the VFL no one standing out so no obvious change . If hawkins is out do we need to have 2 rucks
If Pickett has a 4 qtr game like his last qtr against the bombers then he comes in for bellis
Menadue has played really well at vfl level for a number of weeks in a row now. Will definitely be an emergency for the afl team but I am expecting no change.Menadue Having a blinder
Let's face it, Ellis could cure cancer and the first post on here would be 'Yeah but what's he done about AIDS?'.
The criticism of his game is well out of proportion.
Will be interesting to see if stack gets up although I am not sure he is eligible to play vfl finals is he ?
won't recover in time, hence, can't be considered.There will be only one change.
they wont want to change to much
Stack in
???out
Stack has x factor.
Let me simplify it.
What I am saying is no matter what Ellis does well, the focus seems to always be on what he doesn't do so well.
He ran his arse off on Saturday night, especially in the second quarter and plays a huge role in shutting down and creating spread.
Is he the most comfortable bloke in a contested situation? No, neither is Houli or Short because it is not the role they are primarily in the side to play. I reckon Tom Lynch would battle if we asked him to play as an inside mid, Astbury would battle as a wingman, Prestia would be a liability as a key forward.
So Ellis can play his role, put in elite numbers of kms of hard two way running and the focus is always on the other stuff. It's like Tom Lynch kicking six and all the posts being about how he didn't win enough clearances.
Ellis was soft in the contest, Ellis got beaten one on one etc, etc....
Yes everyone needs to go when it is their turn and he occasionally battles with that, the same way Houli has, but the times when he hesitates to go are very much in the minority. Does that mean he will win contested ball contests? Probably not because he is physically presented to run high distance at high speed. He isn't in the gym trying to break bench press records, he carries less weight and strength to allow him to run.
It's already documented that Hardwick focussed too much on his weaknesses and not enough on his strengths, I reckon a lot of posters should learn the same lesson.
