Pre-match: The Furries vs the Pies - The Analysis....here...

[Dave The Man]

Get over it mate, Bryan played better than your love child last week, deserves to keep his spot... not like he'll be rucking against anyone decent, more than likely just West. Gives us some much needed grunt. I think the selection was good for this game. But i dont think Fraser will play.

Well Bryan does give some Grunt, Well I guess with West coming in for the Handbaggers it does give someone for Bryan to ruck against that is the same size as him.

But I still think it's stupid

If ling is out we will go in with a lot more confidence, but really it shouldn't matter if we want it enough we should be able to take these trumped up corio bay sook bags.

hey don't pick on Corio Bay, not all of us are sook-bags! Or even Geelong supporters! God I get rabid when ppl say I should be a Geelong supporter! It's a really sore point with me. I usually just say I'll barrack for whoever the hell I want and then they say well you're not really a Geelong-ite then and I'll say bullshit I was born here! How much more of a Geelong citizen can I be?! And then it goes full circle and they say well why don't you barrack for Geelong then? It's like beating your head against a brick wall. Only slightly less painful.

Bryan earned his spot in the side. Not saying Wood didnt but Bryan did.

Like Faves 08 said. He will give us some grunt.

Dont bash me for this but would have liked to have seen Lones in there.

The only one the Lonie Could Replace would be Johnson

Tall players may be found wanting tomorrow night - dewy ground -slippery conditions - its all about possession, hardness at the ball and backing each other up - I am happy with Bryan inclusion - foxtelmag

Did someone say Ling is out?

[Dave The Man]

Did someone say Ling is out?

There is a Chance he Could Miss and Same as Fraser

[richo]

Just out of interest - does anyone know our win/loss ratio with Bryan in the side?

[Kingswood]

ling remains in

fraser in, wood out.

not happy with wood...bryan deserves a spot no doubt, but wood needs to keep developing.

ah well..

[Steve86]

dont think either or them will lose or win us the game so im impartial, i would like to see lonie get a game as well, drop johnson.

[Mossi]

Wood has been dropped for team balance. Bryan caressed a few cats in the wrong direction last time and while this is still on their minds his inclusion will bring in the hardness we need around pack. Hope a vintage Rocca takes it up to Scarlett..... we need good delivery to Rocca and Scarlett will be shown up!

[pietillidie]

Happy with Bryan staying in. Not because I don't rate Wood, but Bryan's physicality created opportunities for us last week. There was a bit of spark about his play that we need at this stage.

Those who are unconvinced ought to watch last Friday night's replay carefully. I just hope he and Fraser are fit enough.

[colin_wood]

Geelong are doing just enough to win & no more.....there is no point at this stage of the season.

[Dave The Man]

Well Wood Should Beat the VFL Ruckman this weekend then

[Pied Piper]

No one can say Bryan didn't grab his opportunity with both hands last week. He was terrific, made some errors but did some excellent things and really was a strong body around the contest.

Wood on the other hand will be a Collingwood player for many years - something I can't see with Bryan. However, Wood needs to get better. He rucks very well and looks good with the ball in his hands, but the fact is he hasn't got a lot of it in recent weeks. A spell won't hurt him, he is only young.

On form, Bryan deserves another game, it's as simple as that.
