Preview Changes: R4 2019 vs North Melbourne - NO ACL for Seedsman (But Still Injured)

[Magma]

i like it. last week we were bullied in side a bit, and what good is having a guy like gibbs on the outside if he turns it over at critical moments.

 

[Braybrook Son]

2 first rounders for Bryce Squibs, what were you guys thinking? I could’ve told you he was shit!

 

[Crowboto]

Has Gibbs really been that disappointing though?

I said it before but he's playing decent football. Not winning matches off his own boot but surely his form warrants selection.

And I have been watching Adelaide games and following Gibbs. My thoughts aren't based on just looking at stats.

Were toxic down at Crowland mate.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Certainly a statement and a kick up the backside to a senior player which is good.

Feel that he is one we are comfortable doing it to because he's arrived relatively recently compared to our favourites. He hasn't achieved the deep-seated selection loyalty our other players have developed.

Feel we've made the right statement but with the wrong player. We are a worse team without him and are less likely to beat North Melbourne.

But... the statement may spark others into action. Here's hoping.

 

[Tex200]

It is interesting they’ve chosen a relative outsider to make the statement with.

Old mate continues on his merry way

 

[Vooligan]

If we’re dropping Gibbs for being out of form (which I think is a great call) then why are we playing Tex, Eddie, Jenkins, Mackay who are all equally as putrid if not worse?

Poholke and CEY aren’t even AFL standard. Should he Greenwood and Gallucci in.

 

[baldandbroke]

Ok, I didn't see that coming.

Of course I'd rather see Stengle get his shot, and Fogarty come into the 22, and a fit Greenwood and Gallucci ...

But Poholke has earned his spot, and CEY can do some heavy lifting that might cause a bit of a change in how we play.

Dropping Gibbs is a good thing, he will be back. Eddie might be next of he doesn't lift his output.


Agree that Mackay and Jenkins should be on the list too.

Also, unfortunately though omitting Gibbs and Seed being injured, bringing in CEY and Poholke, we look glacially slow and have lost two (supposedly) good ball users for two mediocre users.

Would be very surprised if this experiment lasts more than 1 week

I said this earlier however Myles and Cam are both covering more ground than Bryce.

Could also mean more of Rory in the f50 which isn't a bad thing.

This was my immediate thought.

Crows needed to drop a senior player to make a statement, but it couldn't be a senior player who had been here for any length of time.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Gibbs did everything he could to get dropped. Good call.

Poholke sucks too though so it's not much of a win.

Jenkins sparks up for no one. I repeat. No one.

Not if we are rewarding form they shouldn't, Poholke has been unbelievable.

 

[Bicks]

So Pykey's not blind as some have claimed.
Watching some of Bryce's DGAF football last week from a senior player was very hard on the eye.

 

[CrowinNT]

It will be interesting to see how the club bashers take this.

I assume we'll have another thread about the trade, because they rarely have capacity to think anything else.

I didn’t expect it
However Gibbs was it to drop out
I want to see more of this

He hadn’t been that bad, certainly not the worst. But a statement needed to be made and he’s a soft target.

Our pet passengers will always get a pass

Dominated at SANFL level so he deserves a game.

Lot of us said the same thing when the trade was made.

I very much agree.

Yeah true, but if we are going by form then Dave squeaks in front of him.

 

[Tex200]

Happy for Pooholke...been caning it and deserves his spot.

Gallucci though....what the F is going on there

 

[Stiffy_18]

Hmm! CEY and Poholke for Gibbs and Seeds

 

[Tex200]

Yeah true, but if we are going by form then Dave squeaks in front of him.

Lol - not a chance

 

[Slippery Pete]

Why is Greenwood an emergency?

He’s either ready or he isn’t...

 

[CrowinNT]

Gibbs did everything he could to get dropped. Good call.

Poholke sucks too though so it's not much of a win.

What is wrong with you?
I live in Darwin
I get patchy streaming
Poholke deserves a chance

 

[Scorpus]

Who wants to bet Gibbs will be the travelling emergency, won't play SANFL and will come straight back in next week
