      And Geelong would have definitely been a better side with Ottens in as Jolly smashed Blake and West but wouldn't have had the same influence if Ottens had of been on the park

      Clearly you DON'T understand your team or football in general.

      Ottens is a handy second string ruckman that plays well as a fwd. He is not a patch on Jolly or Spida even though the latter is well past his prime.

          You are being very kind to Jolly.

            Rd 13 2007.

            Jolly 5 disp, 2 marks, 12 hitouts, 1 tackle, 1 goal
            Everitt 9 disp, 1 marks, 14 hitouts

            Ottens 15 disp, 6 marks, 17 hitouts, 4 tackles

              yep... 26 hit outs to 17... about 50% better in the ruck department.

                Add to that Blake with 21 HOs, so Geelong 38-26.

                Looking at 2006, the HOs were 41-41 and 49-28.

                  It's really Kennelly and Malceski we missed the most. Our run off half back was poor and we were very indirect and uncertain. Add them in and suddenly we can go up the middle, directly and quickly into the forward line, thus providing great opportunities for goals and limiting Geelong's ability to help in the backline and rebound.

                    Stop shooting yourself in the foot reining premier ( about time for a new name )

                    On the stats you provided Ottens along with Blake dominated all aspects of the game, also have a look at last years GF, Ottens dominated.

                        No stats coming from me tiger...

                        There's more than stats to a game.

                        As for the name, well that's really a personal statement more than anything to do with the game of footy. But you go go hard son.

                              Most likely a Gaylong supporter.

                                Can we leave this sort of thing to the Thugby League supporters, we get enough of GAYFL up here as it is.
