Preview Changes and pre-match discussion for Round 4 vs Sydney @ SCG

[all seeing eye]

Mctnee only playing because he will try too tackle

That would be novel, a desperate tackler, i'd like to see that.

 

[Us against the rest]

Out of form players, another excuse for the donuts and the Donut enablers.

 

[afl2004]

Lance Franklin 13 goals

What a bust Fantasia has been. Unbelievable.

So utterly and entirely believable


If only we some sort of inkling this might happen, or mitigated the risk by giving up nothing valuable for him.

McEntee coming in after an impressive 0 goals, 0 behinds, 8 disposals, 2 frees against game last week for the magpies. Glad our players are getting reward for good form

Lol this is why i call out the “he hasn’t demanded to be picked” crap that applies to our talls.

 

[RossFC]

Expecting a repeat of the 2016 game at the SCG.

 

[240volt]

You mean once?

Yep only once I thought he played a couple of times.
Not a walk in the park for your second game playing Sydney at home after a loss.
At least he gets a chance hopefully not just one week in then out.

I thought something was missing in 2023 goalless quarters. No doubt Sydney will sort that out and we will be back to normal again.

 

[Visenfest]

We've still done nothing about the ruck situation

I predicted a 0.0 to 6.6 first quarter early this week on the main page. Funny that.

The hate here for Jed is way OTT, he was more than serviceable in his last two games at AFL level, hoping he can show his worth again.

I hate all that. Ken's been on 800k per year and he's garbage. Fire away. Mac's what, 21 years old, played less than 10 games, a couple of which he's been pretty good in. A 20% good game rate would put him in Farrel, Bonner territory. Put him in a functional team, he wouldn't look out of place.

 

[Chrizzt]

DBJ out

 

[Pappagallo]

Fantasia out with a quad for playing 10 minutes last week, who would have thought.

Maybe he can play a little Trivial Pursuit with CD this weekend.

What could possibly be done? Play Hayes? Best not risk developing a young tall

 

[raptalia]

Hinkley still won't bite the bullet and drop Tom Jonas who is close to the most under performing player in the side.

Jed McEntee is described as a 'pressure forward' in the preview on the Club website. So there you go, that is why he is in the side.

Meanwhile Orazio is out with a quad injury- another year and nothing changes.

 

[Jonts]

I also love how the Fantasia injury didnt get mentioned to anyone until the teams tonight

 

[VineValerian]

Only a season to late.

Lol Tom Rehn - Ken's not happy. He's swung the axe.

What a guy. What a supreme coach.

Pity he didn't axe himself!

Im over 40, have bad knees and struggle to kick a football. I would've been serviceable against the Crows and Essendon on those last two games.

Yeah Hinkley the tough guy.

If I’m not mistaken, we’re going in with only 6 defenders (McKenzie, Aliir, Jonas, Houston, Farrell, Williams). One’s injured (McKenzie), one’s horribly out of form (Jonas), one’s a long way from his best (Houston), one’s unproven and not in good form (Farrell), one’s confidence is up and down like a yo-yo (Aliir) and the other never tested before at AFL level there (Williams). Under-sized. No-one with the ability to shut down Papley or Heeney. This could get crazy ugly.

Just wondering who else will drop back to support. Bergman? JHF?

 

[Buget]

McIntee is just Port Adelaide’s Rowe.

Will clog up the list until someone better comes along.

Papley 3 or more goals is paying $3.45

Load up

 

[Waspy79]

Can’t be unhappy seeing Ken dump the long time out of form syndicate VC. Lycett and Jonas next?

If someone had said at the start of the year that would be our backline in Round 4 with a full list to choose from you would have thought they were smoking something.

 

[PAFC66]

Hopefully. No truly I hope Sydney win this by a lot. Keep the drums rolling. heck these campaigners

Hope Sydney win by plenty and JHF plays a blinder. I'll atleast enjoy watching this kid play this year if nothing else.

Farrell isn't even a defenders bumhole.
