Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Carlton on Good Friday footy

[Flawed Genius]

Go nuts

No McKay and no Kemp for them

 

[Chadwiko]

I'm about to get accused of massive bias and a lack of objectivity, but I genuinely believe this and it's not just a meme;

OUT: McKercher (omit), Tucker (Omit), Logue (Omit), Duursma (Omit)
IN: Archer, Pink, Phillips, Wardlaw

We badly miss Archer in our back-six so I'm hoping he's good to go.
Logue was poor, despite coming back into it a little bit in the second half. But more than anything he just looks like he doesn't have AFL-level conditioning. Needs some VFL time. Therefore, Pink to come in for him.
Phillips dominated VFL last week, and from all reports dominated the VFL scratch-match against Collingwood this morning too. Bring him in.
Wardlaw doesn't need an explanation.

 

[Skarrz]

we just dont have the cattle, why do we have so many bloody project players in the VFL and spuds who dont know how to tackle or handball to a target

Duursma wasn’t our best but still kicked 2.1 and you want to drop him?

Agree with the rest though.

Lack of picks over the years?

 

[Joshen]

We have too many cats (those who offer nothing defensively) and campaigners (those who consistently give away reckless and dumb free-kicks) getting regular games.

Why would you drop Duursma? He played well without being fantastic but still managed to get on the scoreboard twice. And definitely put in the effort too. That's all you ask from young players.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

In: some defensive intensity and a willingness to hurt

Out: McKercher.




And sounds like good luck to the big Monkey on his health battle.

 

[Chadwiko]

Duursma wasn’t our best but still kicked 2.1 and you want to drop him?

Yeah.

Maybe a little harsh on Duursma but if we're going to beat Carlton we need to have guys who put in four quarters of effort, both offensively and defensively.

Drop Duursma, play Simpkin in that HFF role instead, Play Powell at HBF, keep FOS on the wing, rotate Phillips/Wardlaw through the midfield instead of Simpkin and Powell, and suddenly our defensive structure should (in theory) be a lot stronger.

 

[Only Forwards]

Who. Gives. A. Shit.

Our ability to win or lose is entirely mental.

 

[kool kangas]

Do you have Hardeman as sub again? l wouldn't ,so who do you have?

 

[Arathrawn]

FFS play Hardemann

Out Zurhaar, Colby, Logue,
In Archer, Wardlaw, Pink

Love it.

Not one player that you omitted is deserving of their spot.

The only one I won’t be super critical of is Tucker. He tries but is just not good enough. The others are ****ing pea hearts who can’t be ****ed even trying.

 

[TheKanga]

You just know this will be Carltons return to form game

With Carlton spuds slotting every shot from the boundary and dubious free kicks in front of goal.

 

[My Left Foote]

OUT: McKercher (omit), Tucker (Omit), Powell (Omit)
IN: Archer, Phillips, Wardlaw

And give Hardeman a full game FFS.

 

[Poopybum22]

Out: Mckercher, Tucker,
In: Archer, Wardlaw

Hardeman should be rewarded a full game. Downgrade Fish or Stephens if we have to. Don’t care who it is just play the kid.

 

[koshari]

Burn the place down.

The only things we excell at are fumbling, turnovers and the greatest acheivement in the last 8 years, turning sheezel into an ordinary footballer. But oh that took 2 years before we norfed the magic out of him.

Its actually embarrassing when we get a game outside of our coveted 4pm sunday slot because the greater population have to be subjected to our shitness.

 

[Chadwiko]

Do you have Hardeman as sub again? l wouldn't ,so who do you have?

Hardeman full game. He deserves it.

Drop someone like Stephens to the sub.

 

[zoomba23]

Out: Logue, McKercher, Powell, Tucker

In: Archer, Wardlaw, Pink, Phillips

Phillips to sub, Hardeman to get a full game

 

[kool kangas]

Hardeman full game. He deserves it.

Drop someone like Stephens to the sub.

l thought he played well enough today to avoid it...

 

[shinboner magic]

Should be universal to drop Tucker - he is vanilla as they come.
If George gets picked and wilphi is brought in - Powell should be dropped or sub.
Corr should take Cripps when he’s forward.
Take Weitering out of play - he is their whole defence

[justroyal]

Ok so it’s not WillPhills, Scotts , Hansens, Fishers, Whitlocks fault.

So who’s is it?

Jy’s? McDonald’s? Powell’s? Sheezel’s? Zuurhar’s? Corr’s? Larkeys? Logues?

Who isn’t working hard enough and who isn’t showing two way running and repeat efforts?

Every game the opp has made a point of trying to be more aggressive than us and we cave.

 

[GoRoos2023]

Duursma wasn’t our best but still kicked 2.1 and you want to drop him?

Agree with the rest though.

Zane is a funny one, I reckon some players will just never be good reserves/VFL players.


I think you keep him in, he just found a way today. He is clearly a clever footballer I reckon as long as he is doing the 1% the club asks him to do on field you stick with him.

I could see him open up and kick a bag.

It is simple, most sides have 1/3rd of their team hard running players that run both ways with intensity. We have George.
