Ok I get it

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

Glad Banga gets his chance. He was one of the most impressive in the pre season and the club were stoked with the condition he returned in after his first offseason within an AFL program. He will kick a few tomorrow!

How does this campaigner the “bull” … who lays zero tackles the last 2 weeks firstly get the nick name “bull”? And secondly, a walk up start every week? **** off.. averaging almost zero pressure. campaigners gotta go

He’s waiting to see team improvement.

 

[DuckYeah]

I do reckon this is getting in the way a bit, especially with a bunch of 'winnable' games to start the season.

self preservation personified. Its career suicide to be perfectly frank.

You could sell losses to the members. “This is our team and I am backing them and our coaching staff in, its a new era” … but nope. Rinse repeat garbage

 

[Disco Dew]

Pretty ****in happy to see Banch in tbh.

Get off him. He's just got a resting smile face. Contests as hard as anyone when the ball is coming in.

Yeh me too but not at the expense of a kid that needs to learn and could have slotted 2 if it werent for a scrape of the post. Yes he needs to get stronger and conditioned but i’d back the kid in.. obviously playing these old NeverWas players is ground breaking stuff

 

[Possession]

Fast, tough and pretty clever, more of what we need. Hope he goes well.

**** off. He’s a nepo baby gimp. Would NEVER have played 200 plus games at ANY other club. Certainly would never captain any other club. Not even gold coast in their formative years

 

[Ruckle]

Smiling Gimp is a bit rough

You are right, he's not always smiling.

Dovaston out is a bit rough. Play him 3 games and then out in front of big crowd and TV audience. Seems like the type that might produce something in that environment.

campaigner should have been delisted along side Mason Wood

We're due.

Carlton have their best team in for the year, just hold and be about 25-30 down at half time and then we're a very good chance - it's been a while.

We'll be right.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Is it weird that I think we’ll be ok tomorrow? Yeah it’s weird. Never mind.

Where is this optimism coming from?

 

[LB2Snake]

We don't win with him all that often. Let's see how we go without him.

I’m actually looking forward to how we go without him. He’s not your conventional ruck with the constant grabbing of the ball. Stifles our ball movement I reckon.

 

[Rod Stroker]

No Goad is ludicrous, why get me excited like that?! Obviously in next week or the week after.

That we still have Goad, Goater, Dawson, Whitlock, George, Archer and Xerri to return/make their presence felt is a bit scary... we're actually almost promising, with upside.

to be fair, George has shown close to **** all until now, nothing to indicate he's going to make it

 

[DuckYeah]

Fork. Think the constant injuries have absolutely fingered his career. He is currently 12 months away from being fit enough.

 

[footy2016]

If we lose tomorrow, it is not on the match committee. I posted on Sunday, the changes this week appeared simple- Darling and 1 of JK/Banch In.

No Xerri is going to hurt, especially against Carlton who’s strength is the contest, no change was going to fix that and Goad is simply not ready to play yet.

Dovaston has played 3 games and travelled to WA and copped back to back 6 day break, he was always getting rested and are we really going to argue his 7 disposals and 2 tackles can’t be replaced by Banch or JK? Won’t impact the result either way.

Hardeman, I pushed to play last week, however his VFL game was nothing short of pathetic. Offered little drive, used the ball poorly, 1v1 stuff was terrible and he looked out of gas early. He only has himself to blame and he couldn’t possibly be picked.

Match committee picked the best side available and based on form and availability, now let’s find out if we are up to the task or not.

Carlton have picked a more experienced and contested side, however have left themselves vulnerable again on the outside. The way we win, is make this an uncontested and transition game, avoid stoppages and keep the game out of a phone booth or we will get destroyed.

Fire up, massive day ahead.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Where is this optimism coming from?

We aren't coming home from Perth this week. We'll be sharper and have more petrol tickets. Wardlaw will play an extra 10-15%, same for McKercher.

I'm super calm. Whatever they throw at us, we have to learn to shark the oppo ruck one day.

Why not now?

We're stacked, I'm just not convinced they can go with us.

I swear to Christ that we picked LMac off a preseason of absolutely **** all. Track reports said he was blowing up very easily.

As fate would have it, he hasn't been terrible in the first few weeks, but I find it hard to believe we aren't exercising double standards with Hardeman

I cant do it. I hope you’re right

No, you **** off.

 

[Reginald0]

Where is this optimism coming from?

An optimist could say
Finn is better
Zane gets a touch
Trem and Blam look likely
In contrast to your provocative and offensive remarks Lmac continues to play solid football as does alternate whipping boy Jy
Parks has settled back and Kerch is cutting teams up The other blokes down back have to step up to cover him

 

[DuckYeah]

No, you **** off. View attachment 2569661

And that right there ladies and gentleman is the fundamental reason we have been at the bottom of the ladder for 6 ****ing years
