Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs [sigh] Brisbane in Hobart

[Krakouer Bonar]

Lol Big Bad Luke?

You realise that for everything good he does he does 2 x the shit the kills morale, spirit, endeavour and worst of all, goals against?

You know that for fact, eh? Makes mistakes but he is not alone there.

Hero.

Yeh you can see it in real time when players heads drop because he’s a ******

 

[shintemaster]

Watching the game against Port completely soured me on CZ. Powell-Pepper played the same role and was relentless in his selfless pressure and was probably responsible for 2-4 goals indirectly and also kicked a couple.

Who cares if Zuurhaar occasionally gets them over the top coming back or snags a miracle snap from the boundary line if the other 95 percent of the time the opposition waltzes the ball out of our F50?

Agree. Cam needs more meat and potatoes in his game. Goals need to be a bonus for him, I'm just not sure he has the type of footy brain required to be A+ because he is well into the second half of his career now and largely plays the same as he did 5 years ago.

Ok, Richmond's 2nd rounder for the puppy shit?

(3 seconds)

Geeze ok, hardball! Richmond 2nd rounder and our 2nd rounder?

(3 seconds)

Wow.. Richmond 2nd rounder and our 2nd rounder.. And our future 1st. Final offer!

(2 seconds)

And Larkey

Richmond finally accepts and Brady clinches his first in victory and rushes to tell Clarko.

Brady: You know how you said that puppy shit would be better than some of our players?

Clarko: Um, yeeeeeah.

Brady: Well guess what, I managed to trade some from Richmond.

Clarko: What did it cost?

Brady: What do you mean, I traded for it.

Clarko, Ok what did you trade?

Brady: You know Clarko, you're making this more difficult than it needs to be.

 

[Frank Thring]

This is my ins and outs this week.

Out: The soft R &B crap they play in the background in the rooms as the player mill and run out for the game

In: Hells Bells - AC/DC

Lol.

Clarko 2024 in draft room before trade posted: this Whitlock kid sounds great, how did you make them trade out a 2nd rounder though?

Brady..

B: Daniel Pink Hardeman
HB: Sheezel Comben FOS
C: McKercher LDU Stephens
HF: Duursma Darling Kostanty
F: Simpkin Larkey Zuhaar
R: Xerri Wardlaw Parker
I: Phillips Powell Maley Payne

Powell is on notice. As is Darling. There is just not enough in the VFL demanding to be picked.
In saying that happy to reward VFL form of Payne. Give him a crack.
Pink in. Dawson isnt AFL standard and simply is not good enough. His form is shit and this is the last 2 weeks as well as the dogshit he dished up at the back of 2024. One of the first delisting's this year.

Send a message to McDonald who cost us the game. Its time.

Don't care who the sub is.

2 more weeks till PC is back.

Why is Powell on notice? 28 possessions and 2 coaches' votes would say he did ok.

 

[Samsquanch]

The thing I'd like to see more than anything else for this game and for the rest of the season...





A more liberal application of GRIPPO, especially on LDU, Powell, Darling and Zurhaar's hands. I'd be slapping it on with a paintbrush if I was them.

He’s is genuinely the only enjoyment out of watching this dumpster fire at the moment.

After 5 years in the system, if I'm still launching torps inside 50 that land 5 rows back out on the full - all whilst my teammate in Parker is 15 metres in the clear all on his own - then yeh you're on notice.

But you do you.

So he made a bad judgement. Got it. Assume the whole list is on notice then

 

[amaz199]

Powell doesn't escape scrutiny. One 'ok' game since the Melbourne game isn't good enough.

Has been given more midfield time over Phillips and you'd think perhaps we might need to rethink that decision.

I've been huge on Powell but I'll admit he's starting to shit me lately.

And he and LDU together is like a semi-permanent Monty Python sketch. Just stop tormenting us with it already

7 inside 50s, add 9 tackles, only 3 turnovers, going at 71 % disposal eff.

Bloody oath he needs to improve on some things like 99% of our list but my gosh he makes a awful mistake and he needs to be dropped etc

Just lol

 

[Frank Thring]

Bit harsh on Powelly. Was asked to sacrifice his game to play defensive mid and I thought his effort was fantastic. Would love for him to develop into a Dunkley type.

 

[franjon]

This is when LDU should do what other tagged mids do and be team orientated around stoppages. Use his strength to block for others - clear the way for team mates to get first possession.

I think it's in his mindset. You would have noticed that when he doesn't win a contest he reverts back to a jog. It would be good if it was a loan out situation like in soccer where we could loan him out to someone and they could foot his arse into becoming more switched on and a bit more defensive when he doesn't have the ball, and then get him back. Obviously can't happen. At the moment he's a one way runner with little defensive side.

 

[tazaa]

So he made a bad judgement. Got it. Assume the whole list is on notice then

I didn't have him in my outs. I had him on notice.
What has the list achieved to warrant job security anyway? Outside of X, Curtis, Parker and maybe George - no ones a walk up start.

Players keep making bad judgements and we keep losing games. Simple as that.

The key is to ****ing learn from these errors and not excuse them.

I got sick and tired of watching Aidan Corr for years give bum taps and high 5's after the 20th opposition goal was slammed through and in the end what was the result? He got dropped. Heres hoping McDonald can **** off for good now.

Either we start enforcing standards or we head into 2026 after another bottom 2 finish. This shit needs to stop.

 

[Hop_lessly Devoted]

I can't believe they're making us go through with this game haha...

Just want to see Georgie back and firing.

 

[r_boy]

Time to drop our heads at the first sign of trouble and limp towards the bye.

You know how it is with this group. Bye not far away, time to pack it in.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Bit harsh on Powelly. Was asked to sacrifice his game to play defensive mid and I thought his effort was fantastic. Would love for him to develop into a Dunkley type.

He doesn't have that in him.

 

[zoomba23]

I mean, I don't think anyone's gonna be watching this, are they? Even the absolute diehards. Brisbane could play Ashcroft x2 and put a scarecrow in the ruck against our entire midfield unit and they'd still beat us in the contest. As for elsewhere on the field, it hardly bears thinking about

 

[Its a Process]

In - Wardlaw, Pink, Payne
Out - Scott, Archer, Darling

Wardlaw and Payne should add a fair to our pressure rating.

Would love to see us not concede a goal in first 1 minute….
