Oh boy 🤦

Gary Lyon on SEN talking about breakout players - first one “Dan Curtain”

“What do you like about Dan” - asks Watson

“They’ve pushed him to the half back line, I think he’s going to have a big year” - Lyon

COME ON you ignoranus!!! At least read Bigmans training reports !!

They don’t even try outside the Vic border - Watson looked like he didn’t even know who Curtain is.
They might be able to spell it though

Nicks looks to be getting that yearly case of amnesia again where he forgets Nankervis can actually football quite well for the first month of the year....
Nankervis is in that blindspot level of experience/runs on the board that our club just never sees. We always get amnesia over summer with these players and send them back to square one, usually in favour of a player who has runs on the board, but whose form was very poor the previous season. We then take 6 weeks before we realise the error.
 
If the club has learnt anything from the past, they would know Milera is best finding form 1st in the sanfl.

Sadly our club like to repeat the same mistakes... so watch them overlook Nankervis like last season.

If the most recent match sim is an insight, Worrell could be in the 2s with Smith back in the 1s. Murray, Keane, Max, Milera, Laird, Hinge & Smith. I think a lot of posters would be surprised, but would any genuinely be shocked?

Yeah, that's not happening!

Worrell will play ahead of Smith. Take it to the bank!

The like of Hinge & others have played for the B's to test them on a better opponent.

The vast majority of posters and supporters would be shocked.

It would only be the obsessively negative that wouldn't be - the same that also won't acknowledge the pointlessness of being so negative when it doesn't happen.

I'll add you the list of posters that will be shocked. I definitely agree it's most likely that certain players have played i lesser side due to specific match up desires, but a senior player working their way back into the 1sts over a preseason after a bad year wouldn't be a shock to me. Smith was that bad that it would surprise me though, so there's been improvement.

Worrell will play

Smith , I hadn’t thought him as a chance until now

Hinge (Cumming) Milera Laird and Smith aren’t all playing half back so surely not

Then there’s Jones who could push Cumming to half back

Just going to assume that the above isn't an emotional outburst and I can respond to the literal meaning. It's not black and white, as I said, I'd be surprised if Smith plays in round 1 without injuries. But you'd have to be a bit dim to be shocked. It's easy to rationalise, Smith is an experienced player and has performed at a high quality over a long time. He carried injury throughout last year and still played 15 games through to round 19 and averaged 18 disposals per game. We're in a contending period, so we need our most reliable on the park and the backline is still relatively inexperienced. He's also featuring in the probables lately, which more often than not consolidates to our round 1 side as the preseason starts coming to an end.

And don't for 1 second try and claim you won't be rationalising the decision if it was to occur. You will be neither surprised nor shocked, you'll be claiming it's the right call and posters just don't understand selection. Of course it won't be Mostyn doing it, you'll have killed that poor bloke off and fired up the next club apologist.

You might want to try this one again.

What you’re saying the overtly negative might actually be right and that’s a sign of negativity? Isn’t it proof that that they just actually assess the situation correctly and aren’t emotional sycophants?

Its a yes and a no.

I will be shocked that if chooses to leave out Worrell. I wont be shocked that Nicks made another idiotic decision.

I kind of agree, but Worrell could be left out due to oppo match ups. But I will be surprised, he's in the 21 that I reckon are 'locked in' for round 1. 2 of Smith, Laird and Milera will play, perhaps Smith gets in if they think Milera does need a couple of SANFL tune ups. Would be disappointing and surprising that he jump Nank, but I wouldn't be shocked, I've seen similar before.
 
Milera can’t be in our R1 side.

I’ll lose it if certain players are in our side come R1.

Milera has completed a full preseason from what I understand from Bigman's reports. Nobody will have played a game for 6 months. If he's in the probables at most match sims, is selected in the main side for the trials then I highly doubt that his previous injury period is going to reduce his chances of selection. If he makes it based on trial game form, then I can't see him not being selected in the side.
