Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Brisbane - Gather Round

[Chadwiko]

Genuine ****ing children in here sometimes I swear to god.
All in on the gotchas/told ya so’s

 

[DocSholl]

I wouldn't be reading too much into that. He'll be back next week or as soon as his fully fit.

Listing him as omitted and naming him as an emergency doesn't point to any injury concerns

 

[DocSholl]

Yup. Listed as "omitted" and not injured so they can have him as an emergency (which he is) just in case Logue pulls up lame ahead of the game. Pink is a "break glass in case of emergency" while they give his knee an extra week.

Pretty obvious.

Lol this is cope.

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

Stuck with Camel for another week in the ruck. Couldn’t play any worse then last week surely. Up against Draper/Fort… it sure isnt going to be easy. They both cover the ground decently will be interesting to see if CCJ can keep anywhere near them

 

[kangafruity]

Did Pink train today? I cant believe he would be omitted but then we are talking about the selection committee and its always a case of who knows.
Pink (who has a crack) before Corr or CCJ (who are pretty much statues) makes NO sense unless his knee didnt come up

 

[Disco Dew]

Did Pink train today?

He did.

 

[Chadwiko]

Lol this is cope.

Sure, if you ignore the knee brace Pink spent most of the week in, and the fact he trained with the 1s today while Logue trained with the 2s...

But sure. It's "cope".

 

[Rod Stroker]

if Pink trained today and he's not injured, then yeah it's odd he's been dropped.

Clearly our brains trust rate Log and Corr higher, although it doesn't mean they're right.

Candidly, I don't think it really matters for this week, we ain't winning no matter what combination of those 3 they selected. I don't even think it will be close.

 

[DocSholl]

Sure, if you ignore the knee brace Pink spent most of the week in, and the fact he trained with the 1s today while Logue trained with the 2s...

But sure. It's "cope".

So why not pick him and take Logue as an emergency?

If he's fit enough to come in if Logue doesn't get up then he's fit enough to play. If he needs a week off to get the knee right then he'd be getting a week off without travel and we'd be naming Dawson or Whitlock in the 25.

 

[Reginald0]

So other team players:
Parker Darling Daniel
Logue Stephens Corr Ccj
Add Spargo

Must be getting to record territory here

Most experienced side North have put out in many a long year - average age 26.2 years.

We are no longer a young side - training wheels are off.

Yeh. He’s been dropped

 

[desie]

Surprised not to see

Out: Daniel (eaten by Spargo)

 

[Chadwiko]

So why not pick him and take Logue as an emergency?

Because Logue is likely slightly healthier than Pink at the moment. IE Logue is 80% good to go, and Pink is 70%.

If he needs a week off to get the knee right then he'd be getting a week off without travel and we'd be naming Dawson or Whitlock in the 25.

If you'd watched any VFL you'd know both Dawson and Whitlock aren't close to AFL call ups.

 

[My Left Foote]

Shaky ins for the bears, Andrews, McCluggage…. We’ve got them covered.

Big shoes to fill of Joyce & Tunstill, not sure if they’re up to it.

 

[SLF]

Very keen for a look at Spargo.

They made a point of getting him and the recruitment has been on point in last few years, especially the established players

He's there to play a very specific role.

 

[My Left Foote]

Pleased that Banch has kept his spot, thought he was decent last week.

 

[DuckYeah]

Its not logue. Its Corrs, so you would take Corrs over a 70% pink?

 

[Liam Boy]

everyone calling Spargo fat should post a shirtless pic tbh. Show us how elite and disciplined you are

 

[DuckYeah]

the fat police are here

 

[Chadwiko]

Its not logue. Its Corrs, so you would take Corrs over a 70% pink?

... huh?

Corr has played the last two weeks and is (mostly) healthy.

Logue has not played an AFL or VFL game since March 22 and is coming back in this week according to the named squad.

The club isn't going to play both Logue/Pink when both are nursing injuries.

Corr > Pink?

oh dear.

No?

I'm genuinely confused what point you're trying to make here.

 

[DuckYeah]

No?

I'm genuinely confused what point you're trying to make here.

I would have thought a 70% fit Pink would play over 95% Corrs (Corrs is never 100%) I am just trying to work out that you agree? Coaches must think pink stinks

I already addressed this;
