Preview Changes and pre match discussion v Richmond

[Shermanator]

I remember that game that was brilliant.

Yes those were the days.. when we would win occasionally..

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

I heard he was the one on the grassy knoll

And President Kennedy, up until his retirement was the longest serving president in US history. The biggest disruption to his career was the flat tire his car suffered as his motorcade was fired upon from the book depository resulting in a puncture when a stray bullet ricocheted off a nearby traffic sign.

 

[The Nostradamus]

FFS Howe?

I'm pretty dead inside after this season but this still manages to make me angry.

He offers nothing beneficial to the team

It’s such a waste, play the kids kids Perez, archer, Bergman etc over Howe in his spot

It’s a surprise still after hawks delisted him that he managed to get another list spot yet alone play a game

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Been thinking about the 22 this week and they reality is even our best 22 on the list isn't that good. Logue, Zurhaar, Wardlaw are the big outs and then you have Stephenson, Shiels injured and Archer and Bergman can't even make the side this week. Its the clear reason why were 17th.

BEST 22 ON THE LIST
B: Archer McKay Corr
HB: Goater Logue Bergman
C: Ford LDU Scott
HF: Thomas Comben Stephenson
F: Zurhaar Larkey Curtis
R: Goldstein Wardlaw Sheezel
I: Simpkin Phillips George Shiels
S: Powell
E: Tucker Greenwood McDonald

Now look at the liabilities we have in the side this week

22 PICKED VS RICHMOND
B: Howe McKay Corr
HB: Goater McDonald Ziebell
C: Ford LDU Scott
HF: Thomas Xerri Simpkin
F: Taylor Larkey Curtis
R: Goldstein Greenwood Sheezel
I: Phillips Powell Tucker Turner
E: Archer Perez Lazzaro Drury

Howe, McDonald, Ziebell, Xerri, Taylor, Turner.
These 6 wouldn't start at Collingwood this week. Richmond probably wouldn't pick them.

Just bring on the off season and the delistings and lets get stuck into the draft.

And of your 'best 22' McKay and Logue won't be there next year, Comben is a huge ?, Goldie is turning 50 and TT who knows.

I’m coming round to the Comben to CHB what with McKay leaving and Logue without a leg.

This of course leaves a gaping hole at CHF that CCJ/Xerri simply can’t fill because they’re no good.

 

[hottieburger]

Anyone know where GA areas are tomorrow? Any level 1 areas?

McKay gone.
Logue missing most of 2024.
Comben unproven but so vital to structure.
Goldi 35 and slowing down and the best ruck on the list.

Our Key Position stocks are borderline negligible to be in this state. Again how people aren’t being fired for this mess both list management and development is deeply concerning.

It's a perfect storm of list management, drafting and player development incompetence.

Anyone involved in football decision making pre Clarkson/Viney should no longer be at the club come the start of '24 pre season.

Can't you believe you wrote that.

That kind of "hazing" - just like Kangalotto - has no place in the modern game.

Be interesting to see what happened if he was selected. Maybe he would fire up.
Unlikely but.....

The list management people have been sacked. It was Nobles decision to develop from the midfield out.

As far as Player development goes, yeah there's been some right let downs. But it's not their fault Chom's unlucky with injury, Logue does and ACL and Edwards is a complete dud. Xerri developed to become our number one ruck, gets injured and then goes backwards. CCJ had that one very good game where he looked like he was going to take the next step but then cops injury and concussion.

I thought people were fired for it.

 

[tazaa]

I thought people were fired for it.

There's 2 that have survived in Brady and Brown.
Brady has done some good and some really downright bad. Who knows if he survives under Viney and Clarko.
Brown has been under-resourced since he started but the reality is the standards at the club are so low and players will only do the bare minimums. Whether he hangs around or not is anyone's guess but 100% our issues are culture related and players doing just enough to get by and sadly its what Ziebell, Cunnington, McDonald do. The leaders were never fitness or footy fanatics and it shows in the way the younger guys adopt their lifestyle.

 

[Fridge24]

For the game, is there anyway to sit level 1 tomorrow just using a replacement game membership? or would i need to buy/upgrade a ticket?

Riewoldt and Cotchin meh

Jack Zeibel to play a blinder

 

[viccles]

Who is sub?

 

[bennymate]

Anyone know when gates open tomorrow at the G?

 

[franjon]

LMac could be the sub and he’d still get accused of playing on the oppositions best player all game.

Or being the best opposition player for the club. Sorry, I had to throw that in.

He copped injury about six games after that one game.. using that as an out is absolutely hilarious. The guy is a putrid footballer and his record this season makes for horrific reading. Just not an AFL footballer. No need to be delusional
as a means to make excuses

Same with Xerri.. tries hard but he’s just not very good. Bad selection.

Shiels and Bergman should come in for Ziebell and Turner next week.

Disagree. He’s yet to play 30 games, and he’s shown he’s got it. Development needs continuity. He may just be out of form.
