Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 4 vs. Carlton. Thur 03/04 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

[Scodog10]

Unless you’re going to do a hard tag on him he’s impossible to stop fully. He works harder to get to contests than anyone and then his breakaway speed means you need to be on the ball or he’s put 20m on you in a flash. Unlike Walsh last year..

A fit Walsh is just about the only guy in the league who can go with Nick. Is he fit would be more my question than can he go with Nick… With Hewett leaning into him at stoppage all night I’d be watching for a lot of blocks from Pendles and Long at which point Walsh becomes his minder.

We see it a lot, but this more than any will be a result reflected in Nick’s game. If he’s BOG we win because it’ll mean we’ve won at the contest and I don’t see how they win it if we beat them at the coal face.

brilliant

 

[Pistol Night]

He was fitter then too. Nicks got a footy brian to go with his work rate. That’s why he gets 30 every week easily

 

[Ctracks]

Blues nuffies: Walsh is a jet
Actual vision: Walsh is a plodder, won’t be able to catch Daicos.

We all know a footy brian - he roams around the rooms

No-one is too sure if footy brian has a footy brain

You have made me a paranoid autocorrect checker and that one slipped through the cracks like an iPhone on a jetty. I’ll leave it like it is though to teach me a lesson

 

[gouki88]

His dominance is what's kept them competitive in games.
I think blunting his influence is a major path to winning.

I agree, which is why I don't want Cox to play

 

[stormskye]

That's one. At this stage I also have Geelong, GWS, Adelaide, Brisbane, GC and a few others ahead of that pack of asswipes.

There’s some good teams this year. Doggies with bont and weight man back are also a top 4 chance

Absolutely

I take it all back - I cannot have you paranoid on a jetty

How are you wearing down and stopping TDK without 2 Proper Rucks

 

[Jen2310]

I doubt we worry too much about the ruck battle. Cameron can hold his own. TDK is only one player. Abeit a very good player (my SC thanks him)

 

[sr36]

How are you wearing down and stopping TDK without 2 Proper Rucks

TDK will do the same ruck time regardless of who our second ruck is. How does Cox as second ruck wear him down?

 

[cfc19902010]

gee Walsh asleep at the wheel there..lets hope he falls asleep again Thursday pm..JDG and Nick will be building towards full fitness in coming rounds

 

[jmac70]

We could knee cap him.

It will force Voss to make a decision - play an uncompetitive Silvagni against COX , or extend TDK's Rucking minutes.
And the threat of Cox/DC marking around the ground and FWD may also force Voss to give TDK more game time.

They're not going to over play TDK due to the threat of Mason Cox - that's just silly.

Voss won’t be forced into a decision whatever we do.
He prefers to let things evolve naturally over the fullness of time.

In a tight game are they really going to risk Silvagni v Cox or DC/Cox Fwd with the option of TDK to match up?
Are we going to allow TDK free reign to play FWD without DC as a backup option to cover him? Which will still allow us to have Cox dominate Silvagni?
How are you covering the above scenario's without Cox?

I think the permutation are numerous and without Cox we will get exposed.

You're overthinking it. Cameron will play most of the minutes that TDK is ruck regardless of whether Cox plays or not. And then the second rucks will match up for the rest of the time.

I think were forgetting Cameron is an elite ruckman now. TDK started as a sub only 4 games ago. Bit of over inflation with the stupid contract he was offered and the rest of the team being shit at present. As a pure ruckman Darcy is superior. Our mids can do our follow up work not our ruckman

 

[jmac70]

without Cox we will get exposed.

Sorry mate, but this last part is quite humorous.

We definitely SHOULDN'T be exposing our Cox
