[Cousin of Daicos]

Hope not. Parker is ass

This feels a touch harsh

Excellent news. We’ve locked in Beau’s progeny.

 

[Vicky Park]

Parker in, and not Allan. Both were dropped after the Adelaide game, but only one of them was underperforming.

I know Allan did better in the VFL, but I’m not convinced. I’d prefer Sullivan, or Anderson if the club thinks he’s ready.

Now that I think about it, definitely Anderson. He has more of the ‘goer’ about him than the stolid (stolid not solid) and dependable Sully.

 

[Jelly Bean]

In one of Sully's early games, he threw the ball to a pie player rather than the umpire and gave away a 50m penalty.
Half the forum was after his blood but now, happily, everyone loves him.

It was against Fremantle, it cost us 2 points (as we ended up drawing the game), and the two points cost us the finals.

I don't believe many people were after blood from Sullivan, definitely after blood from the umpire, and I've never seen that free kick paid before or after that decision. I think that decision was even worse than the missed free kick on Elliott in the last prelim against the Brions.

You're talking utter shit.
There was no 50m penalty, it was a free in Freo's forward 50.
And I don't recall a single person on here calling for Sully's blood, the outrage was about that free for time wasting hardly ever being paid.

it was right at the top of the goal square

The free kick was paid a few times after. Just a garbage rule. The question I have is how can it not be consistently applied, it is not possible the umpire did not see it. To pay it then, at that stage of the match and front of goal.

Whilst I agree with the anderson assessment, I disagree with the parker and aish link. Parker is a far better defender than aish, and we will need his defense against the lions mids and small forwards.

Aish became a reliable solid player who played 186 AFL games. I'll be stoked if Parker becomes as good as Aish.

What a bizarrely hostile response.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I could get around Harrison coming into the team for Pendles instead of Allan.

Unlikely given he tweaked his ankle and didn't finish the game

Oh ok, thanks for being so helpful and setting me straight.
Free kick not 50m penalty.
Mea maxima culpa.

 

[Mick F]

Tight turn this week.
heres my line up v lions old gabba.

fb: iq frampton maynard
cb: houston howe lipinski
c: allan nick daicos josh daicos
cf: mccreery timmy shultz
ff: elliott mcstay buller
r: cameron de goey crisp
int: side steele parker cochrane

a win in this one could set us up nicely early on this season

bullish here.

happy hunting grounds gabba and next week at ao.

probably win one out of the next 2 games.

Tipping Pies by 12 points.

Bullish??? You’ve omitted Steene.

 

[Mick F]

I've only seen one game of footy this year so basically NFI how 5 on the bench influences selection . I like West and Buller as prospects though, if they dominate for a few weeks in the 2s it might be fun to see how three tall forward and two rucks go

Which, out of; Elliott, De Goey, Schultz and McCreery are you dropping? I’m assuming Sidey and Lipinski are midfield.

 

[RobJD]

Fair to say we will be sending howe to morris?

I'm not so sure, we still need to protect Howe and he's not a lock down defender. The challenge that we have with Morris is that he can be deadly from any angle close to goal - reckon Maynard is a better matchup for Morris, Parker to Bailey, Howe to Cameron, BBF to Allen, Houston to Loman and IQ to McCarthy - that frees up Perryman for a job on either Will Ashcroft of Lachie Neal

I know Allan did better in the VFL, but I’m not convinced. I’d prefer Sullivan, or Anderson if the club thinks he’s ready.

Now that I think about it, definitely Anderson. He has more of the ‘goer’ about him than the stolid (stolid not solid) and dependable Sully.

I can't see us selecting Anderson for three reasons:

1. Big game
2. Lacks experience in our system.
3. We tend to select first gamers as an emergency before we select them in the 23

Reckon we'll give Anderson a few more games in the VFL for the coaches to get a better understanding of his strengths and weaknesses and for him to get a better understanding of our system. Once he's ready, he'll get selected as an emergency to get a feel for AFL game day preparation and to get around the team - then he'll get a run against a lesser side.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Gallop very likely to play as a KPD. Hopefully Dan can show up against his old team.

 

[Jen2310]

Would we try stretch their defence but playing Buller too along with Oscar and mcstay.
He was in black

 

[nickyds35]

Interesting, Brisbane pretty much have a non-existent defence (Andrews, Payne, Answerth, Gardiner all out) and McGluggage out in the middle.

They are also coming off a 5-day break.

You can never expect to win at the Gabba, but would be pretty disapointed if we lost this game.

They tend to get a heavy dew in Brisbane this time of year, don't reckon the conditions will suit our talls, I'd give Buller another run in the VFL (I'll be heading out to Coburg on Friday, can't wait to see how Reefer goes).

 

[WanderingDude]

A very interesting one. Did Buller train forward or back? I didn’t want Buller out, that block of games idea. Now that he is out I am reluctant to make changes to a winning side. Moore and Howe are two changes. For Buller to play it would be a forward for a back. Even with Brisbane’s pace something about it appeals, but ….

Cameron, Steene, McStay, Membrey, AND Buller? I don't like it, we're already slow once the ball hits the deck - given it's going to be hot, humid and with a small chance of a shower, it could be extra slippery.

 

[satty]

That would be sacrificing too much speed. As it is we aren't a particularly fast side, we don't need to compound that any further with an additional tall.

Besides if our midfield can't generate supply and send the ball to the forward line, we will be playing the whole game with an arm tied around our back.

The lions may be weak defensively, but their midfield is still as strong as ever and one that is unfortunately miles ahead of ours. So we will need all the speed we can get to match with them.

He trained forward.
I looked to see if one of the talls trained in defence. They didn't... So it'll be very interesting

Nah not cool how dare you not beg forgiveness for mistaking a free kick for 50m penalty that had the same ramifications!
