I prefer to interpret that label in the "pioneering Aussie geniuses" sense.

 

[Waynesworld]

Here I was thinking that Will was starting to find his feet, but what would I know? Maybe being managed?

And pity At wasn’t left in to play his old team...

Big fan of Noble and everything we've been doing this year but absolutely hate that Phillips and Atu were both dropped.

Excitement to watch the game has dampened a little.

 

[Liam Boy]

if jackson archer is even 10% as tough and fearless as his father he'll be a handy pickup

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Atu structural I guess, and a good sub option.

Hopefully Will gets a game in the VFL, try to get his hands on it.

calm and measured - you don't belong here

 

[Billy Not Really]

I'm fine with those omissions.

Atu I thought was fairly ineffectual and invisible on the weekend and only good in spurts and it doesn't suit the matchup.
Phillips needed a spell, his position does him no favours and he wasn't getting involved enough as a result. Go to the VFL to work on the midfield craft.

 

[Liam Boy]

Maybe they want to give Will midfield time at VFL level now that he's starting to build a tank. Might be better for his development. Atu I can't understand.

 

[Caracas]

How in the name of all that’s sacred would we drop Atu? I’m staggered. But, what would I know?

At least Bonar got up

He's been named for our VFL team this week.

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

Its sad that Atu and Will are to miss out on their first real opportunity to experience a win for the club

 

[Marstermind]

Daniher had 223 games at Melbourne. I thought his were consecutive.

You needed to read on.

 

[giantroo]

One of them will be a sub and the other an emergency as both haven't been named in the VFL team.

Don’t agree with the outs and the mendue in sorry aut at least stays . Noble WTF ..

Well that was almost a sentence

 

[RossHenshaw]

Got to say I agree to date. Nothing guaranteed but I've been happy with Noble's work to date and the club overall feels like it has a clear on field plan.

Noble is definitely not afraid to try new things so far in our game plan & move players in different positions. He will not die wondering .
He is definitely so far coaching for the future of our team & not himself. Unlike that previous Mother F#cker Barf Scott who coached for himself & was more than happy to finish 9-15th for 10 years . (Prelim finals appearances excepted) . Thank F#ck gone are those days where we would sit watching us conceding 4,5,6 goals in a row during a game as we waited for the Bard to make a tactical or player positional move !
The worst part was during the week after a bad loss , us the fans would get excited & suggest obvious possible changes to the team line up & then come Thursday we would read “no changes” .., Bard Scott thanks for you services but thank F#ck I can now tell you .....

Will Phillips omitted but Mahony still in wtf

Mate I know you're bummed that the match committee don't read your posts begging for Mahony to be dropped. But he ain't gonna get dropped.

 

[justroyal]

Menadue deserved to stay in anyway. Surprised my Atu. Gee-whiz, Scott's love child, Garner is really having to work for his selection

 

[Horizons_00]

Will has been struggling to get the pill. He is a star in progress so probably needs a spell.

Atu is a head scratcher but he wasn’t “that” great last week. Maybe he didn’t train well? Maybe we want him to work on s**t who knows

 

[Colbys Boots]

No problem with Will Phillips getting some touch back at VFL level. However, it seems like a lot of faith is being shown towards Connor Menadue whereas Atu has done more to warrant perseverance in my opinion. Nevertheless, good luck to the inclusions and let's have a big one.
