Reckon there's a fair few flat earther's on this site just quietly.....

I am a flat universer

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Going by M.Voss presser, he’s still seeing the dual rucks as a working combo. If Pitto is fit, think he’ll likely be selected.

Suppose it depends how you hear things - I thought he made out that pitto been in good form unlucky with injury TDK really steps up when he takes over by himself and is starting to be able impact over 4 quarters instead of dropping off ---really gives us something to look at ... played a flat bat for mine -

 

[Red_man2008]

I would like to think form is a factor.

If Gov doesn't get up I would be playing a smaller defence over bringing in Marchbank or for that matter Young.

I’d prefer to play Akuei than either of them. I’d think he’d really show us a different look compared to either of them. He’s very athletic and would relish the step up in grade imo.

 

[katmanblue]

I thought it was clear but same people with agendas think 2+2=5. Facts are irrelevant

Don't think everyone has agendas as such, but make up their mind and won't be swayed, refuse to see evidence that contradicts their views. I think that some just aren't too bright either.

Been told Gov's is just bruising.

State the obvious but the next 2 games either leave us battling with the pack to play finals or give us a chance for top 4 and a good platform. It’s that tight.

15 is the magic number for top 4.

If Akeui plays a game of league football for us ever I’ll be shocked. I doubt he’d be playing VFL if he weren’t a Cat B rookie.

Worried about their burst from stoppage. With jhf, butters and rozee all quicker than our incumbents.

We have good exit shut down options now with Cinc and Fog

They are our work horses, like Adams and Jordon for the Swans. Both are very valuable role players, who sacrifice their game to let the stars shine.

He would be a solid player at local level. Just like Mirkov. Worth the punt for his athleticism but he hasn't improved his game at all in 3 years.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Apparently there’s two players under injury concern for this game. One I think(as per posted by Le dom is rozee) anyone know who the other player is?

 

[Blue1980]

That Adelaide loss is really going to hurt - that late game howler where Williams and Kemp watched the ball bounce kills us - hope it really grinds there gears to greater efforts back half of year

But we could of easily lost the Freo game, swings and roundabouts

How do we stop JFH in midfield. Who can scamper with this player. ?

You're not serious right ?

I can only hear John McEnroe now pleading with Redman

How does he stop Cripps.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Id rather a Gov at 50-60% than Marchbank at this stage tbh

We’re going a bit too hard on Marchy given his talent, elite when at his best. Short memories - was missing for 2-3 games before being thrown to the Wolves in cut-throat Lions prelim and in our best 3 or 4!

Hope this makes sense - but with his injury history he’s had to cope constantly with being thrown in off limited games and most times he outperforms expectations. Says so much about his natural ability.

If he plays in place of Gov I’ll back him right in..there, I said it.

With rib breaks, there is a massive difference from playing on adrenalin, getting a shot or two, to backing up the following week, or in this case 5 days

Nothing to do with form

Sadly, too true......Fingers crossed he comes up.

Just get JSOS to go to him before game and tell him he’s shit and so is his team

Yep. Humans are largely confirmation bias machines. Availability of internet echo chambers has not helped .. at all.

Wines will play on cripps

100%. Marchbanks problem is his durability, not his ability.

He ain’t Gov but he’s not some plodder stop gap type either. Was best 22 last year easily.
