Prediction Changes: Round 13 Vs Richmond + prematch discussion

[Taylor]

I'd hope for Henry's sake that even if he does move that there's some part of his potential that has gone untapped, like playing at stoppages as a clean hands clearance mid somehow.

He has all the signs of Darcy Tucker

Did Darcy have ab-related strength loss?

I'm not sure I've seen the same vanity around his abs out of Darcy as I have from Liam, so probably not.

So a less moral version then?

 

[Taylor]

There's no morality involved at all. It's not inherently wrong to take pride in your body, but it can interfere with other goals

Yeah probably not the right place to take someone to task for accused attention seeking.

Maybe that's Erasmus' issue... too strong a belly... Johnson, Frederick and Kuek to boot.

What attention seeking?

Johnson is arguably in front of Erasmus because he was injured for a significant portion of last season allowing him to focus on building strength and size, and he did.

Erasmus is almost a year younger and hasn't had that time off the legs to focus on his size/growth. It will come for him.

Tucker? I'd be surprised if he even makes to Petrevski-Seton levels. This board makes excuses because he's a fremantle player, plain and simple.

 

[apuchar]

Ffs. Any chance we can leave Liam alone. He seems like a really nice young man.

 

[FreoGirl]

Who would of thought. The comments on the Freo FB under the team selection this week about Henry is more brutal than on BF

yes, there's not a lot of love/hope

Really have to wonder what Brodie has to do - he seemed liked the automatic replacement for JOM

[freo_leo29]

Love the team selection, some bold plays in there

Nice to see Sturt backed in but its obvious he will get subbed for Sonny halfway through the third

Henry was BOG on the weekend and has had a solid month at Peel, very clean in the wet for Peel


Corbett still the only player to be sub and then dropped after 1 game this year, its definitely a next man in mentality with the sub

It's tha abs I tells ya. It's tha abs.

Mind you, whose abs? They all haves dem.

The possession wasn't ever it, the display of them outside of training was. He is proud of his body and he should be.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Liam was drafted with Serong and Young, it’s obvious who’s lagged in their development. I’ve read a lot of criticism of Liam on here from myself included but I haven’t seen any post that hasn’t hoped he would eventually deliver. Realistically, he must be on borrowed time. It’s up to Liam he is the only one who can save his own skin.

I'm not in any way suggesting that he's above criticism, but people seem to be tying themselves in knots to ignore the fact that his form for Peel since he was dropped has, on balance, been pretty good.

"I'm not going to the game because they picked Henry" (as per the post I quoted) is absolutely cooked stuff.

Yeah yeah sure. On a completely unrelated topic...game of Twister anybody?

is it too cold to go nude?

You brought it up Colin

Brodie apparently injured at training.

Not getting injured right before selection would have helped.

Will Brodie was unavailable for selection at both AFL and WAFL level after sustaining an ankle injury during Wednesday’s main training session.

Everyone a month ago:

'Henry needs to go back to Peel and earn his spot'

Now:

'No, not like that'

 

[arsesmart]

You brought it up Colin

No you brought it up in the preseason... specifically that ab definition would hamper broader strength and conditioning. I just wanted to see if that was one of the things that had all the signs of Tucker, seems as to how you weren't being specific about what those signs were.

Tucker isn’t any better than SPS imo.

Just a correction, I brought up that a dysmorphia/vanity about ab definition could hamper physical development and it could, because it does.

It's why it's been so amusing for you to hammer on about it like I'm not speaking actual sports science at you.
