Changes for Round 10 V Geelong

[jono2707]

There was some great advice given and I'm going to employ some of the tactics on the 30- and 40-something year olds I sit with too....

Pretty good first game to go to. Does he still remember TDL's tackle?

HaHa I will ask him ! He probably does simply because his father regularly has re-runs of great games blaring away in the background of their daily life. I certainly remember that tackle. What a great game that was.

I'm wondering that if things get really tight tomorrow night and Nick is on the ground at just the right moment, would it be ok if he just miraculously just slots one through ?

Geelong without two key defenders for clash with Swans - AFL.com.au

Can't say I am disappointed that this means the best 22 from each club aren't facing each other.

Yeah it's annoying, ah well. If we lose we definitely know we aren't up to scratch!

I can't wait until I can take my little boy to the football. He is four and I don't think I can take him to the SCG without him needing to run around. Does anyone regularly take their young children to the football? What is your experience? How do you get them to sit still for a full three hours?

Every kids is different. Our oldest went to her first game at 3 weeks, Swans Bombers at ANZ. slept through most of it. She is 6 now and goes to most day games (she has been a member since the day she was born) however has only a superficial interest if the game if at all. Every now and then she might ask if we're winning, but she will spend 90% of the time with her nose buried in a book or colouring etc.

Child 2.0 went to her first footy game at a couple of months old (but to be fair we did bring her to the Swifts at 3 weeks so the early introduction to sports is still on) and she's still just a typical baby even at 11.5 months. She can sit relatively still for 20-30 minutes, but it's a lot easier if regularly supplied with snacks and bottles. If too restless, the less stressed parent (me at the netball, her at the football unless Geelong are playing) takes the little one for a walk away from the seats.

I don't know if either girl is going to grow up a footy fanatic like their mum and dad, but it won't be from lack of opportunities.

In B. McGlynn out B. Jack.

Lovely blurb from afl.com.au to make Ben feel like a star of the comp: "Stevie J returns for Geelong, whilst Swans regain forward"

[longmile]

Tom Mitchell, Lewis Roberts-Thomson & Dean Towers as emergencies

[ShockOfHair]

Well done Jake Lloyd for holding his place. A rebuke to those idiots who predicted he'd be dropped in favour of Mr 64 Possessions (eg, me).

But I'm thinking he will be the sub and will return to the twos next week to get a full game, while Mitchell gets a run in the twos and gets promoted next week.

Both big outs for the cats...Enright is a key organiser/player in their side.

I didn't think they'd drop Lloyd, he is doing exceptionally well and on form he is in our best 22.

Mitchell will just have to keep stacking up the stats in the ressies and keep knocking on the door, as I have little doubt he will find a way back in given time. Its great to have some proper depth in the squad - its a good place to be, and what you need, as you never know when the injury curse might strike.
