Unofficial Preview Changes vs Melbourne Demons, MCG Sat 7.25pm

[shinboner magic]

Seems like Clarko may have broken up the season. I wonder if he has a distinct plan for each period.

Clarko is teaching them the wax on / wax off period - building it up slowly

We can’t even catch the footy let alone flies

Mckay - Gawn/Grundy whoever rests forward

McDonald - Pickett
Ziebell - Fritsch

Thank you and gee you're good.

Interesting the Swans played off in a GF in 96.

A year after sacking Barassi!

 

[ferball]

Rn is more pleasing to the ear.

Instead of Cuck Radio 3aw/sen/jjj

So, we need to sack Clarko for a true parallel?
They did, however, lose. Took another ten years to win one.
Pitchfork or patience? So many hard choices

Or * up in 1974. Quick someone ask ChatGPT what alternative timeline that happened in.

Corr - Schache sounds like the least key match up imaginable.

It’s important for the Kerridge.

Corr is playing like a busted arse.

Patronizing rubbish only really sets them up for possible embarrassment, we can’t control it so why worry? We will always get it to a degree, regardless of success.

Yeh kind of agreeing with you in terms of what’s the bloody point.

We havnt been a genuine contender since pretty much 99.
No one really fears us or takes us seriously and no matter how much we try and argue about our finals performances the last 23 years - we just kind of participate in this league but not really seriously compete.

 

[Event Horizon]

Have we played all 3 talls Larkey, Comben and CCJ in the same team either before or more than once this season?

It’s CCJ’s first game for the season

But not under Clarko.........

We also played second ruck X that day. Huge difference

I get it, I'd rather Bergman or Goater. But Clarko said "right time for the young kids to get AFL exposure". Clearly they will be selective

Goater is out for 5 weeks

I hate the VFL set up. Why are there all these byes. Someone should legit get fired, it's ******* nonsense.

Strange that we gave Wardlaw a week off two weeks ago knowing there is a VFL bye coming up?

I’ve just had enough of disrespect we receive now.
We’re s**t and I’m ok with that but having that dud schache brought in against us is where I draw the line.

I didn’t realize he was still on an AFL list

We have to assume they know what they’re doing.

My first game in 6 years . Going with my Dees supporter brother snd a few cousins. I know what to expect if we’re getting badly beaten. I’ll try and sit alone but will be in the Melbourne member’s . Been with them before but we were half decent the game when Cunnington gave thst little rib punch to that ex Adelaide crow player can’t remember his name. That was a good day . Hopefully this will be the same .. but looking unlikely

 

[shintemaster]

3 bigs up forward was a must, had to try something different, regardless of how it works.

Personally cannot understand how Tucker has been dropped and Turner continually stays in the side…. I’d have Greenwood or Tucker sub.

Phillips needs 3 games in the vfl as a pure midfielder, howe hopefully don’t see anytime soon.

I think CCJ (in his limited outings) has shown more ability as the working up the ground type of forward rather than a true forward (and less as a ruck). Not the worst thing if he provides proper ruck relief (leaving support for Larkey in Comben and more development in his core role) and if he pushes up between CHF and the middle of the ground / relief kick. He is lumbering as a few have pointed out but seems capable of covering space well in spite of this.

Not really. If he needs a week off getting it in two weeks doesn't help anyone.

As I said he had hamstring awareness, hence why he was out. We are taking the conservative approach, makes sense I suppose. And his fitness isn't good. Which is quite exciting if one thinks about that for a minute.

One guy can make a huge difference in this strange game of ours.

 

[Merlin007]

I thought after last week that Turner out & Drury in, was a good fit

You'e not Pat Malone

 

[The Nostradamus]

LDU now out!

would have thought greenwood or phillips would be the like for like change

drury in emergencies, make the boy sub!

Our chances just went from 5% to 0.5%
