Preview R20: Changes vs. Hawthorn

[jackster83]

Jones named on the field is disgusting.

I would have gone with Hamill but I can see the rationale for selecting him.

Reckon Ryan gets a gig for next week's automatic loss at the Cattery.

 

[BACCS]

Hugh Bond named in the centre is interesting, maybe a tagging role on Day?

 

[1970crow]

Chayce Jones named on the field is a real disappointment

Not for me, only hope of seeing the back of Smith is if Jones returns to form playing behind the ball. And I like him, he’s fast, strong over the ball and takes the game on going forwards. Been disappointing this year, hopefully he turns it around.

Hugh Bond named in the centre is interesting, maybe a tagging role on Day?

Would be interesting to see how the lad goes after Merret got a bit of a hold of him last week...

Worth just giving him a job now on a gun opp player every week for the rest of the year now to fast track his development...

 

[King Elvis]

Murphy seriously has to have perfected the reach around.

He is the least irreplaceable player in the side. Dowling could have come in for him round 1 and wed be a better team instantly. He is a rock that is keeping us down. Selection has to be better. The sooner he isnt in the side the better it is.

And this is why Nicks is a dud.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Murphy extremely lucky. Form has been poor for a month or more

& he is carrying an injury.

Seriously wtf...

More likely Moore.

It’s not luck, it’s philosophy.

 

[1970crow]

With Jones named on the field, you'd have to assume that they will go with Bond playing a tagging role in the midfield, rather than a negating defender?

Only if you assume Smith remains

I am going to also add that you could literally replace him with any player on the list in the best 22 and we wouldnt notice a thing. He could be subbed out at the beginning of the match and tell me, would we even notice? this is how pathetically irrelevent he is as a football player. He brings nothing to the team. Its harsh but accurate.

 

[ABAB]

It’s not luck, it’s philosophy.

Murphy keeps shape and given Nicks used to "rely" on 2 of them, there's no way he isn't going to not even play one of them lol.

 

[BACCS]

For the last Sunday game the first 4 on our extended bench all started, with Taylor the 8th listed on there and starting as sub. Would think that means Smith, Curtin, Worrell and Rachele are all playing, and then it comes down to Taylor or Cook. Given Cook started as sub last week and didn't do much when he came on, fairly certain he will be the out. I highly doubt Taylor is going out after being one of our primary CBA midfielders in a big away win and performing quite well (even though he faded late) - Nicks also talked very highly of him in the presser today and mentioned he is winning internal awards for some efforts off the ball recently (highlighting his improved endurance as the season has gone on).

I hope Smith is the sub, but have a feeling it could be Worrell given his lack of match fitness.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would think they will need to hold back McHenry as the non-playing emergency... unless they drop Smith.

 

[Trigger13]

This guy a reliable source or…?

I ****n knew it. You could tell by the way the coaches spoke. So predictable

 

[1990crow]

I ****n knew it. You could tell by the way the coaches spoke. So predictable

This club is so illogical.
They fear losing because of "young players", and yet fail to identify the team is...

Checks ladder..

14th.

 

[rabidcrow]

This is similar to what I think. Is Murray definitely out? Might be a rest regardless of whether its serious or not.

Cant play Walker, Berg, RT and Fog, and Berg is the clear drop from that bunch.

We might be blessed by Hawks not having a tall forward line.
Is it just Chol/Koschitzke? Cant recall if they've been playing other talls.

Koschitzke plays for Richmond! Gunston has been their other tall

But we’re ‘mathematically’ a chance.

I better not get too negative though. I got in trouble for that this week.

 

[Brett Cummings]

This club is going to be a dump until nicks f!@ks off forever. Literally no other club would name murphy. You may as well have 1 less on the field.

 

[Pugsley]

Only way the lad will learn.

This would be a great way to reduce the crowd by 10%...

 

[Scorpus]

Not much point warming Dawson and/or Crouch's spot for one week

 

[Southerntakeover]

Not much point warming Dawson and/or Crouch's spot for one week

Multiplying your current AFL experience by 200% seems pretty worthwhile tbh

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Cant believe there's talk we wont bring in Curtin. I Just really can't believe it.

This is almost the PERFECT game to bring him in, regardless of how he performs - he gets another senior game under his belt at home against a youngish oppo team, builds some confidence and starts to work out what he needs to do over summer to go to the next level.

Seriously - there is absolutely nothing to lose by playing him. Nothing.

**** sake Nicks.
