Preview Changes Rd 8 vs Port Power

[Sanders]

What happened to being the unplayed sub was such a mental drain on performance afterwards?

now Fog is good to go after being unplayed sub? Consistent messaging at its finest

Fog played a full game last week.

Are you talking about that actual round?

That was the context of the post that you responded to. Have we ever dropped a senior player to accommodate a junior player? It's clearly a query related to an instance.

s**t, on top of being unplayed sub. That's like playing two and a half games, he'll be cooked.

Obviously the intense psychotherapy sessions plus ECT worked a treat

Excellent

 

[ftmch]

Stoked that Fog is back in on talent alone. But I reckon in a game that's going to have above average levels of spite and general nastiness, his aggression at the ball and the man has been a factor in his selection this week.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Irrelevant

Our coaches have taken those three positives who've shown they can play at the level and reduced them to the point that they aren't in our 22

Coaches are responsible for developing players and ours are regressing.

But have they actually shown they can play at the level??..

surely “playing at the level” means being able to play great football for more than 6 games in 5 years (himmelberg) or for more than a season (in mcpherson and mcadam’s case).

“shown they can play at the level” would have to mean proving you can for at least 50 or so games and cementing a permanent spot in an AFL 22.. or else you come just another one of those numerous lads that get a couple of dozen games, show some alright signs but ultimately not much else and then their career fizzes away to nothing.

Good clubs turn some good football into more

Bad clubs erode some good football into nothing

I wouldn’t worry about how tall our forward line is you have to be able to get the ball out of the middle to get it down there.

 

[Kickin Goals]

Jimmy Rowe staying in the team stinks a bit too

Just shows you how little competition for his spot he has at the moment.

 

[Maddogmetro]

No McAdam, think Fog plays forward. Might only need 4 or 5 shots to kick 4 or 5. Better kick than Lockett, I read.

Better than Lockett, but completely ineffective and should be dropped. He is both incredible and useless. Schroedinger's Fog.

 

[hey shorty]

Well that's going to get real ugly, real fast... or real slow, given that we're talking about Fog.

Because Lynch is lightning quick and all

More accurate than Lockett, but otherwise useless. There is no contradiction, no matter how much you try to paint it as such.

Lynch isn't greased lightning, but he's not slow, and he runs hard all day. Fogarty is slow, and runs out of puff by quarter time.

He's VERY slow, I don't know what you've been watching for the last decade

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Himmelberg will have to go back surely?

I wouldn't mind seeing this actually. I doubt he will make it as a forward but he's quite athletic for a big guy. Have him as an extra, floating in defence. Port will get plenty of inside 50's so we need to limit their scoring and hope to hit them on the rebound.

Lightning quick, great decision maker, never kicks into the man on the mark, and always stands up when the team needs his experience.

He can’t see anything through that helmet

Why did they recruit McAsey then?

 

[hey shorty]

Why did they recruit McAsey then?

For when we trade Berg at years end.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Unfortunately for Nicks you can't always wait for someone to put there's down to make a change. Kelly hasn't done anything wrong to lose his spot, but at this point they need to ID every guy they think will be a best 22 in 3-4 years time and get games into them now if they're showing they're capable of it, of which I think Worrell is the most obvious choice not getting that treatment at this point.

Nicks is another delusional coach. He doesn’t have that 3-4 year vision. He’s looking to push up the ladder now.

... and yet he'd still beat Fogarty in a foot race.

 

[hey shorty]

No he really wouldn't.

You don't watch us play at all do you.....

 

[Drummond]

How the heck is Rowe still in? Unreal.

Mackay over any youngster? Hooray, it’s happening again.

Hately needs a CONSISTENT block of games, he will never make it otherwise. I’m not sure he does have what it takes, but we will always be second guessing if we don’t invest time into him.
