    Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion: Round 9 vs. Geelong, Sat 09/05 at 7:35pm (MCG)

    Just went to the feline board. Very slow traffic there...only 2 pages of posts about the upcoming game. Here is a snippet from an apparently rather nervous Geelong supporter: According to him we are a 2nd rate team of no namers, yet we held a Premiership contendor to a draw. Our main strength...

    FWIW (probably not much), I refuse to rule us out as contenders. Especially after that game against Hawthorn. Our defence is just second to none. It is the absolute best in the competition. Our forward line definitely at present looks sub par. But: a) Bobby Hill is going to return b) We...

    I agree, we will hugely miss DC. But I reckon we can still win even if he doesn't get up. We'll support Steene with both Buller and Frampers playing ruck in F50 and D50 respectively. Geelong doesn't have a powerful ruck contingent to smash Steene. Pendles will be there directing traffic and...

    Playing Allan on Dempsey on the wing is setting him up for failure. He has to be given the chance in the midfield. That's his position. But I wouldn't be dropping Long this week, he was really good against Hawthorn. I'd definitely have Long's game above Gus' game last week.

    Perryman was playing as such against Watson last week. I think that is the meaning of the post. Without Perryman though, I agree, that isn't going to work.

    On Allan, he has been smashing it as an inside mid in the VFL. His last couple of games in the VFL have been fantastic. However, when he is selected to play AFL, he never gets to play mid. Instead he is played as a winger, which is not the same. As a winger, his performances have often been...

    ^Highly interesting observation, and it also holds for the Swans, whose only loss occurred on a Senior oval. All the wins (except for the one over WestCoast) were on small ovals.

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    As the article below explains, the initiative "Project Freedom" is aimed at creating a pretext for renewing the military onslaught against Iran. Iran is to be goaded into an attack on one of Washington's so called "humitarian escorts" and Trump will declare that Iran has carried out a crime, so...

    Fair enough. Doesn't surprise me, given the totally ellipsoid shape of GMBH, and the huge advantage they get from playing on such a ground which they know so thoroughly.

    Trump's latest initiative, "Project Freedom" supposedly to help guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz as a "humanitarian mission". He also warned that if Iran attempted to interfere in this action, the US would respond "forcefully". In reality, "Project Freedom" is a provocation...

    My selections are: OUT: Cameron (managed), Sidey (managed), Perryman (inj), Parker IN: West, Beau, Howe, Pendles Steene to have the support of two second rucks (Frampton and Buller). I'd play Team Defence on Jeremy Cameron, (like we did against Gunston). I feel confident that Frampers, in his...

    Sydney's handballing skills are fantastic. However, I do note that they have almost entirely played on relatively small grounds this year (compared to the MCG), except for their game against WCE at Optus Stadium, where the opponents were not of top AFL quality. The only game they lost was to...

    Frampton to Shannon Neale. Frampers can handle him along with second ruck! Team Defence to Jeremy Cameron (will consist of a combination of Maynard, Moore and Howe all co-ordinating with definite pre-arranged guidelines, and the usual team defence provided by our mids and HB flankers) Need to...

    Dare I say it, I am almost neutral in this game. I hate Carlton and Stkilda in parity. I guess my preferred outcome is a draw.

    Most likely you are right. But I enjoy any incident which creates consternation in a major rival, and which gives insight into their internal climate.

    ^^Damn, I forgot Beau!! He definitely comes in as well. We actually have a wealth of possiblities! But shifting Moore out of defence is not one of them.

    If DC doesn't get up, West comes in and then Buller and Frampton together take up 2nd ruck duties. Howe in for Parker. Pendles potentially in for Sidey if Sidey is injured. If Sidey is OK, stays in, and Pendles for Roan.

    Darcy has played neither forward nor ruck for years. To move him to either position after one game back would express a complete lack of faith in our captain. As has been pointed out, Guntson did not score a goal, so Darcy was obviously doing other things, behind the scenes - escaping our...
