Preview Rd17: Changes & prematch discussion vs Sydney

[Zondor]

He's not though. Last three weeks, combined

Offensive:
Inside 50s: 4 (over 1 a game) LOW
Goal assists: 2 (.66 a game) - Above average
Score involvements: 9 (3 a game) LOW
Goals: 1(.3 a game) LOW (for a forward)

Defensive:
Tackles: 5 (1.6 a game) LOW
Pressure acts: 48 (16 a game) - Below average

The individual in question is one of the reasons why the structure keeps falling down. I was defending Hrovat earlier in the year, saying everyone hypes up Turner and bashes NH.

Happy to say I was wrong. Hrovat is awful. Needs to be dropped.

GreatBradScott > Brads Scotts :stern look

Those outs for Sydney have left them very young - 9 blokes less than 50 games.

Big chance for us this week.

[Billy Not Really]

Um, no. Can we just assume that, given injures and current state of development, the coaches believe he is currently the best option available for the task they need fulfilled? He has played VFL so is not undroppable and is in the fringe that would be back there if Garner, Hartung and others were available. But they aren't. Doing your bit in the structure, even if looking just ok individually, is not a small thing.

I don't know whats funnier, you taking a clearly facetious post seriously or defending the rat.

Ben Brown will be having a last minute fitness test tomorrow elbow flare up from what I’ve been told.

Wright a bit sore aswell

Think we are taking at least two of the emergencies

Ldu and Larkey aren't playing atm.

 

[giantroo]

Don't think Walker or Murphy are either.

Will Walker is player, on the VFL website it says he kicked a behind in the first quarter

Amputate from above the elbow tonight and stick a bandaid on it.

 

[Hojuman]

Was quietly confident about tomorrow but with emergencies not playing VFL and some blokes doubtful...................

Can l cry ?

 

[danj]

I really can’t blame rat for getting selected - it’s more to do with scotts and him not having any trust in our youth.

If Walker/Hayden/Williams come in , are we really going to be that much worse off.

Craziness is doing the same thing over n over and expecting a different result.

Ten years? ............Anybody, anybody....?

 

[brettman135]

Would really like to see Cunnington/Higgins spend some time resting forwards tomorrow especially if Brown doesn't get up to play.

It has taken a while but yet again it seems injuries will **** our season.

Brad will have only himself to blame.

He hasn’t rotated nearly enough kids throughout the year.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Again north, now’s your opportunity. We’re back in the 8 thx to brissy. Take it.

Two injuries in the VFL as well

Footy gods hate us

 

[Chadwiko]

IF Ben Brown misses tomorrow, then the adjustment is fairly straight forward;

Majak Daw - Full Forward.

 

[Gasometer]

BBB did not mention injury on Open Mike

Sneaky

Spot on.

 

[archereleven]

Beat COLA and we are 6th...

Let's see how much ticker the boys have. Put enough pressure on and everything else becomes largely irrelevant.

But if they aren’t ready for the Ones.....umm remind me of larkey stats v Swans last yr
Oh yes that wld be Nil of everything
Get real
Put em in when they have some remote chance of getting a kick

 

[Devington]

Once he's got his 22 set he doesn't like changing any more than he's forced to unless it's from the bottom 3 or 4 in the 22. And he seems to loathe replacing someone with a young/inexperienced player. Shits me a bit tbh. I'm in such a split mind about how we approach the rest of the season. I really think we'd be better off sending people off for surgeries and playing blokes like Larkey a bit more. Right now injuries seem to be just creeping up on us and I suspect it's only going to get worse. I'd rather us bite the bullet now instead of struggling for a position in the 8.

But hey, who knows. The timing of currently injured blokes returning will be good for a finals push. *shrug*
