Preview Changes/Squad/Team vs Lions

[Mr Reliable]

Is that the team?
Cant help but think J Brown is going to tear us a new one. Unless we outnumber him which i think is Bons plan.

I think Pedo is out and Delaney is in from your team, tazaa.

I'll be happy if we can restrict Brown to 10 shots at goal. Hopefully he'll kick 2 - 8 and not 8 - 2.

I just dont think Grima or Hunter can go with him.
And how bad will Car Keys confidence be that Schulz got away from him last week.
I think it was Karneziz or Cornelius that kicked 5 last time. Theyll definitely kick a bag for sure.

So, no Anthony, Speight, Campbell, Mullet or Garlett. With Wells and Harvey being tagged, we have a team of plodders, with a real shortage of outside runners. I agree with earlier comments that the Lions will try to run us off our feet.

You don't have to be a fast runner to be quick. Speed of the mind and anticipation is the key. The only players in our side that have this are Wells, Harvey, Thomas and Atley. It's easy to look fast when your in a dominating team aswell like pendlebury and swan each week.

Wow way to overreact. First people on here want VFL form to be rewarded and now the complete opposite. We're 8 rounds in, he'll get plenty of chances in the 2nd half of the year. You'd know this if you actually watched Brad Scott's selection video, he clearly explains they dont want to use him as the sub for the third week in a row and instead want him to have full game time in the VFL

It was a shit move from Scott last week, I mean look at Lovett-Murray at Essendon, he comes on and does a job.
You should never have a young kid as the sub. An experienced player is a masterstroke and be the difference.

McKenzie last week brings back memories of Mitch Wallis v Fremantle last year. Comes on and was completely up against it with the game on the line.

What's the point of playing him for so little, then giving him the arse? Just let him play in the VFL for the entire year if that's the case.

Feel for Warren, probably his last game for the club now you would think. Hopefully someone else gives him a chance. He would sure show Melbourne a thing or 2 about work ethic.

Feel for Garlett too. They have clearly sent him a message that he is only going to play if a Ziebell/Swallow/Cunners goes down. Should have played 3-4 games this season IMO.

Hoping that Black can show us something and bring some excitement. Agree with Tron re Cam Delaney as well. One tall too many down back still.

 

[King Corey]

Give Garlett a ****ing game.

Fair enough you're developing players in their future positions and yeh apparently selection isn't a reward/punishment anymore but at least mix it up ffs.

Happy with Wright and Edwards though very harsh on Warren to get 1 go in the side when some blokes wonka pass runs for the whole season.

Extremely happy with Black's inclusion. The talent is there.

 

[Old Skool]

What odds Black is the sub?

lololololololol

Give Garlett a ****ing game.

Winning doesn't matter. This is all about 2018-2019.

Shut up and buy a membership.

Agree with both of these sentiments yotr.

Warren, unfortunately, just doesn't seem to have the necessary AFL-level talent to go with the effort, which is superb. I've loved the attitude.

On merits, you'd think Garlett may well have got a game or two, but he's suffering from the development agenda. NTTAWWT. It does annoy me a bit, however, seeing the likes of LA and Levi butcher the ball when you know Cruize would hit some targets. Not that they're like for like. Just sayin'.

 

[year of the roo]

Yep, wrong place wrong time for those guys Kimbo. Would have been regular fixtures under Laidley if they had got here a few years earlier.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Black's gunna be the sub.

Garlett must have reverse kanga'd Brad's toilet.

With the lid down.

Unbalanced again!

 

[Jay-Z]

I seem to be the only one but I'm very happy with the changes. McKensie got a taste but is not quite ready. Pedo was ordinary last week and Warren is a workhorse but just doesn't seem to be an afl player (which is bizarre considering the blaze of glory he started in).

On the ins, very pleased to see Azza back, he's critical to our structure and with LT has been our best forward this year. Sammy Wright makes the lack of McMahon slightly less painful and Black has serious talent, hopefully he gets a full game.

Only downside is we're too top heavy in the backline but I guess (hope) the theory is play them all and keep the ones who do the best for the 2nd half of the season

 

[DCS OO7]

Shit coach would not have a clue

Chooses Gibson over LA. Scott you have no ****ing idea.

Im seriously having 2nd thoughts about even going to another game until LA plays.

 

[DCS OO7]

This is how dumb Scott is... He chooses Pedo last week, which i agreed with and still think he should be playing, however that was his first game for the year i believe and Scott expects him to come in and tear the opposition apart. That will take a few weeks to get upto AFL speed level you twit.

Scott do you realy expect someone to come in for their first game of the year and tear the opposition up???? Now you watch the same thing happen to Garlett if he doesnt play very good.

Shit coach.

1. It was Pedo's second game for the year
2. We played Port last week and he was shite
3. Garlett is not playing this week
4. Gibson is also not playing this week and is ineligible to be selected

 

[DCS OO7]

Whats the ins and outs then? Cause according to the OP thats what they are, or was that just a guess?

Either way, it doesnt matter.

 

[Flawed Genius]

In: black/edwards/wright
out: mckenzie/pedersen/warren

 

[Zondor]

Unbalanced again!

Yep. Lose this week and I will unleash. :stern look

It does matter

 

[koshari]

so anyone reckon black will bag a few?

$1.25 odds on favouritism, the bookies must know something i dont?

 

[Old Skool]

Strange. He's kicked 13 goals in 8 games in the VFL.

 

[Daveo Plonk]

Stupid odds really. We should win, but 1.25?
