Sam DochertyGUEST
I, I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but it's hard to do anything about it when he's, when he's winning the clearances inside, so th- they, they weren't able to null- nullify him within the contest.
Sam DochertyGUEST
And then, um, you might have had a plan to be able to get him on the outside and, and have, you know, Blitzers pick him up or something along those lines.
Sam DochertyGUEST
But he was able to damage on the outside too and, and, and just shows what a threat he is.
Sam DochertyGUEST
He's, he's a superstar and he's had an outstanding year.
Sam DochertyGUEST
But, um, yeah, I thought that they'd take him off the table more, and m- maybe that was at the selection table.
Sam DochertyGUEST
You, you could have brought in Sam De Conging to play on him more broadly around the ground or, or, or almost full ruck tag with Blitzers.
Sam DochertyGUEST
Um, around the ground was the other one that I was thinking, but, um, yeah, uh, it's always fun in hindsight.
Sam DochertyGUEST
The, the, the...
TomAUDIENCE
Would you...
TomAUDIENCE
The talk is that Geelong will load up for RAL next year, but, you know, considering we've got Dangerfield and Blitzars and Stewart that will be going on for one more year, would you go after...
TomAUDIENCE
Would you consider going after someone like a Viney or, you know, a Wobo or
Dwayne RussellHOST
someone? No, no, no.
Jake MichaelsPANELIST
You've got Cameron, Dangerfield, Stewart, these guys who now are-
Matt WalshHOST
Blitzers
Jake MichaelsPANELIST
... ah, Blitzers, who are at the tail end of their career.
Jake MichaelsPANELIST
Um, and the, a tough fixture again, reasons as to why, um, you'd be sort of a little bit down on, on them next year.
Jake MichaelsPANELIST
But I don't see any f- major falloff, um, and I would expect the Cats to be somewhere in that fourth to eight range again next year.
Sam DochertyGUEST
He's a superstar and he's had an outstanding year, but Yeah, I thought that they'd take him off the table more and maybe that was at the selection table.
Sam DochertyGUEST
You could have brought in Sam Deconning to play on him more broadly around the ground or almost full ruck tag with Blitzers around the ground was the other one that I was thinking about.
Sam DochertyGUEST
And, yeah, it's always fun in hindsight when you get to look at the vision and wonder what you could have done versus in the moment.
Sam DochertyGUEST
But, yeah, he had a fair influence on this one.

Mitch PattinsonHOST
...
Mitch PattinsonHOST
when he kicked it to Nick Newman, then Nick Newman to McGovern, and then McGovern to Cripps, literally four weeks ago, Georgie Hewitt would've blasted that forward, and you would've had Blicavs or whoever punching the ball, and it would've probably been a rebounding goal to Geelong, game over.
Mitch PattinsonHOST
But Georgie Hewitt was looking forward, and then he was like, "Okay, I'm gonna actually switch over now to Nick Newman." Then now all the Cats defenders move over, then that means then Mitch McGovern then comes clear in the middle.
Ethan DaffyHOST
Yeah.
RowanHOST
Maybe he might sort...
RowanHOST
But unfortunately for the Cats, Mark Blicavs can only put out so many fires at a time.
RowanHOST
And-
KitHOST
[laughs] Only one.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
Edwards was sitting there going, [laughs] "Surely someone else can do this.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
Can you get Blicavs in here for a bit? I'm having a rough day." And they just had no answer.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
And he just owned every moment.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
And then the best part of it, it's easier saying in hindsight, but the best part of it was his ability to go back and finish.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
And so you go in-
Ben CameronHOST
Yeah
Daniel HarfordGUEST
... you got Edwards and you got Blicavs, and you think, "Oh, Jackson's twice the player of th- both of those together." With respect.
Daniel HarfordGUEST
I mean, Blicavs is a fantastic player.
Sam DochertyPANELIST
... impacts the game too much.
Joel SelwoodPANELIST
It did look like they tried to get Blitzers behind the ball to catch him.
Joel SelwoodPANELIST
Um, obviously, it looked like from the back half, that was his opponent.
Joel SelwoodPANELIST
Apart from when the ruck contest was there and Edwards come down, would it have been better just to keep Blitzers as the ruck option at that stage? Probably not gonna win the tap out, but just his, uh, mobility on the ground level.
Anthony HudsonHOST
As we go to the break, I need an answer for my question before the break.
Anthony HudsonHOST
Grand final tomorrow, Gawn or Jackson?
Max GawnGUEST
And then also probably just like the three tools for Frio.
Max GawnGUEST
You're coming up, that means Blitzar has to play as a tall back a lot.
Max GawnGUEST
So they weren't able to put Blitzar in the ruck as much.
Kate McCarthyHOST
Were you surprised with the non-selection of Sam Deconing considering that point you just made? Because I was.
Kate McCarthyHOST
I thought they needed him defensively and I thought it left them a tall short.
