Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs *

[Samsquanch]

Opportunity for selectors to maKe a statement this week. This should be exciting for the young blokes.

 

[Caracas]

Jeez, we haven’t beaten the Bombers since 2016. We’ve become their bunnies. The more crap we throw at them off the field in the “Sympathy” thread, the more pain they dish out to us on the field. That thread may have served its usefulness...

Lol. The statement might be that we haven’t enough fit players to field a team...

[The Nostradamus]

Shaw said that he was eager to play this week so will definitely play against the scum.

Yep sounded like jz was fit to play but Shaw conservatively said no for a week would think he’s in for higgo

Bonar/Ahern for cunners
Maj for Macmillan

Jed on thin ice

 

[Rob in Cologne]

After watching GWS vs Hawks you know what they say ... things are never as bad, or good, as you think in footy.

Hawks played out of their skins last week ... Sicily couldn't get near it tonight... Wingard didn't have the golden touch.

A Simpkin side-step and his snap two metres to the right and we win that.

Play kids, play FIT players... learn from over-egged coaching errors (CUNNERS). Perhaps we not so bad

Love to see W Walker and Scott IN, and an Ahern or Bonar get a bit of midfield time.

 

[Kangapirate]

The only chance we have is if the weather is so atrocious it becomes a game of soccer kicks off the ground and fumbling the ball forward.

Otherwise anywhere before 30-60 point loss. * aren’t anything special but they’re a cut above us.

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

Out: Cunners (inj), Atley (omitted), Jmac (omitted), Hall (omitted).

In: Ahern, Murphy, Scott, Walker.

Xerri out and Larkey in if he's ready to go, but I doubt it.

Ahern into the middle for Cunners, let him get his hands on the footy.

Murphy into defence, he's a good size and he uses the ball well. There's no point persisting with Atley or Jamie anymore, we're far better off putting the games into the likes of Murphy who could be a good player for us going forward.

Scott and Walker speak for themselves. They're both among our best young players and the sooner they're back in the side, the better.

We'll we've been pretty crap since the first half of 2016 so no real surprise. They will likely beat us again, but we went around 7-8 years without losing to them from like 2001 to 2008-9 or something.

Though last night was gouge-my-own-eyes-out bad we are currently 2 and 3 and anyone suggesting the season is shot needs a good dose of HTFU. The dogs were abysmal in the first two rounds - last on the ladder I think. Now look at them. Hopefully we play 22 fit blokes next weekend, pull a win against * from somewhere and get to 3 and 3.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Changes: watch 90s games or storm matches on delay when north is broadcast live

I usually watch netflix or game now. Still love the club but the sport is honestly getting boring with everything that's happened.

Anyhoo, have a bad feeling we will get smashed. * Always get up for us these days. Just want a more competitive response even if we lose.

I just listened to Brady Rawlings injury update and based on the information provided and the weekends result we have -
Unavailable: Higgins (1 week)
Ziebell (another week or two I hope)
Turner (played scratch match on Saturday)
Larkey (will play his first scratch match this week)
LDU (will play his first scratch match this week)
EVW (2 weeks)
Tyson (2 weeks)
Cunnington (indefinite)
Garner (indefinite)
Jacobs (indefinite)
Comben (indefinite)
Perez (indefinite)

Probably only Turner out of this lot will play round 6 and Higgins and Ziebell Round 7.

Those who didn’t play Saturday and are good to go are -
Available: Daw Scott Ahern Bonar McKay Durdin W.Walker Wood Crocker Murphy McGuiness Campbell Hosie

I would like to see Majak, Scott, Ahern, Bonar, McKay Walker and Hosie come in. 7 changes. I really want to see what they can offer.
Outs to join Cunnington and Higgins are Hall, JMac, Atley, Xerri and Pittard.

B: Daw Tarrant Williams
HB: McDonald Walker Hayden
C: Polec Ahern Dumont
HF: Taylor McKay Thomas
F: Mahony Brown Zurhaar
R: Goldstein Simpkin Bonar
I: Anderson Scott Walker Hosie
E: Pittard Atley MacMillan

That team is inexperienced as **** but what good was the team we put out on Saturday night.

 

[Ether]

Wonder what our centre square line ups will be next weekend w/o Cunners, Higgo and Jack. Can anyone suggest some combos that get their hands on the ball, use it and run two ways? *'s mids aren't very big bodied so may be a chance to run some of our younger guys through there w/o them getting smashed?

 

[tazaa]

To understand what a shitshow 2020 has been we’ve had:
Majak - Pec - Missed 2 years for his fall
Marley - Suspended
Higgins - Medial strain
Jacobs - Sinus - Missed 2 years
Garner - Hamstring - Missed 4 full years
Ziebell - Calf, medial and hammy
Scott - Foot from 2019 - Missed whole year
LDU - OP - Missed all of 2020
Cunnington - Back
Ahern - Hammy
Larkey - Foot - Missed most of 2020
Tyson - Calf
Walker - PCL - Missed 2 years
Turner - Foot
Comben - Back
EVW - Knee - Missed 2 years
Hayden - Achilles
Perez - Knee

That is an atrocious record. We’re talking 40% of the list here but just recently we had 13 players unavailable for selection. At what point does having a quarter of the list ruled out ring alarm bells? This has been going on for several seasons now. It can’t just be shit luck.

Probably Simpkin, Lmac, Anderson, rotated with Bonar, Ahern, Dumont, Give CZ and Polec a go in there too. Either way our game plan is a mess and we cant do anything forward of centre anyway.

Our our blokes going full steam at each other in training or something?
Lets just go inject some banned drugs, get caught and get a bunch of top up players and some early draft picks too.

We’re on a plane in 10 hours with a team best equipped to teach us.
Didnt do us much harm last time we jumped on a plane with *

 

[amaz199]

Just don't see how we can beat them after they toppled a red hot start from the Pies.

We have to be faster, meaner and skillful.

Unfortunately, we can only barely do one of those right so far.

 

[Sopwiths North]

The pain that may come our way is far outweighed by the double benefit of younger players getting a god go at running the middle and the prospect of our senior players being fully fit upon their return.

Andrew Swallow endorses this idea.

 

[Luke72]

Still hoping to hear how Qld members get tickets? Anyone know?

Have you tried Ticketmaster or ticketek?

Totally agree.... a couple of bad weeks and we write the season off really.... not really the support we need to get back on our feet. These three defeats have come with at least 2 of our best 22 not in and you could argue up to 4 with daw and LDU also. Let's focus on beating ess who have stringer out and remember they lost to Carlton so not world beaters.... and then rich who have an loads out and non travellers let's take advantage of them and get the ssn back on track... we are a game off 3rd far from over

That team is inexperienced as fu** but what good was the team we put out on Saturday night.

It'd shake the shit out of the team.

It'd require a few very frank conversations about change for the long term rather than for the right now.

I am unsure if we have the stones as a club to do that.

They beat an under manned and distracted Collingwood...... no Sidebottom or Howe and de goey obviously other things on his mind.... in wet conditions

Add to that a pathological fear of ever putting anyone on the LTI or god forbid relisting them at the rookie draft and trialing someone else on the main list.

 

[Passmore]

Key players missing or out of form, a run of losses, we’ll be about $5 outsiders.

We talk about the hatred for this mob, it’s time to bring an attitude and pull one out of arses.
