[Thrillthorpe7]

Newcombe hasn’t played well against us in either game this year, with or without Day. Keep that record the same and they don’t have a lot of drive out of the midfield.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Also only one of 4 teams with a percentage over 100 against the top 8

So you’re expecting a win, no excuses crap if we don’t

 

[Scorpus]

Newcombe was out of form or carrying something, he’s firing now

He was terrible in the second half against GWS

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

So you’re expecting a win, no excuses crap if we don’t

Yes I’m expecting a win, but I also don’t think it changes the trajectory of this team in coming years if we lose. I will also not crack the shits if we play well and still lose, maybe we just needed to go through finals heartbreak like Brisbane did before success.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

He was terrible in the second half against GWS

Exactly and it’s why GWS got on top. Hawthorn’s historically out of the box accuracy in the 1st half is what won them that game, if this game plays out the same way then Adelaide win.

 

[Croweater78]

Goes to show how bad Nicks is, 1 (playing at home) vs 8 should not be even money.

Bingo...it's not rocket science.

 

[FR0GGY]

13th?

Our record against top 8 clubs puts us 13th?

No it doesn’t

Umpires for Friday Night: Stevic, Foot, Rosebury and Deboy. I want to vomit.

Probably the worst 4 umpires you could get.

The ladder wasn't representative of order. We are an 8th-10th team. Look at where we sit against the top 8 clubs. We cant score or move the ball against them. That's all on Nicks.

34 85 78 63 47 46 87 56 79 are the top 8 opposition scores against us since Gather Round. 64 points per game against as an average is hardly destructive.

They can't score or move the ball against us either. That's all on Nicks too.

To say were a 8-10 team isn't reasonable at all.

 

[bigman]

Captain’s run. Just listing those training - Keays, Berry, Murphy, Curtin, Thilthorpe, Rachele, Murray, Pedlar, Dawson, Walker, Soligo, Michalanney, Taylor, Hinge, Rankine, Worrell, Peatling, Neal-Bullen, Milera, Dowling, Fogarty, Smith, Borlase, Butts, O’Brien, Cumming, Keane

Can’t see Bond.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Last week we lost the game by kicking to the advantage side of Pies players or directly to Pies players all night.

Was the decisions of a shell shocked group of mids who refused to lower their eyes and couldn't enter F50 to save themselves.

Tidy that up and we are immediately a 5 goal better team IMO.

TBF the game plan simply didn't provide genuine options to kick/handball to.

Bond crook maybe?

Cook ?

So becoming the first minor premier to go out in straight sets isn’t something to crack the shits about?

But you’ve just been posting why we should win, if we don’t, clearly we haven’t played as well as we could have. Minor premiers at home, longer break, beaten the same team only a few weeks back minus their best player.

What if we lose because Nicks ****s it again? Have you commented about his selections and coaching last week?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Bond crook maybe?

Cook ?

Cook touched the ball once after the first 1.5 quarters last week, was really disappointing after how well he started the game and his previous BoG performance

Rachele for Bond seems the only change. Maybe Dowling for Smith as sub.

 

[bigman]

Bond crook maybe?

Cook ?

Am thinking Bond must be crook. Given the likes of Borlase and Rankine are training.

No sign of Cook. Few of the younger lads not sighted either - Draper, Edwards, etc. Guessing they’ve been told to not bother with a captains run.

 

[SugarShane]

Take one for the team & put a bet on the Hawks.

Did it as soon as the odds went up to be fair. Same for Collingwood. Got Collingwood at $2.64 which was insane money. Hawks at $2.13 not quite as easy money but will take it.

 

[Gtowncrow]

If we go with that idiotic defensive forward structure again we deserve to lose

Perhaps Nicksy might try and little of Blights philosophy.

'Just kick a bigger score than the opposition '.

I'd back our forwards and backs in a shoot-out.

If Borlase plays that's evidence they want early holidays.

 

[Fuddnuddler]

Rachele in, Nicks won’t say if starting.

 

[fossilllCrow]

Hope so, I love Taylor but not like he’s offering to much anyways

 

[Peter Doherty]

Count the names, matey.

 

[Trigger13]

Rash confirmed as in.

I’m in the minority. He’s underdone and I think it will backfire. Hope I’m wrong.
