Changes for GWS

[Rexie J]

White and Pittard in

Patton and Kennedy in

And I suppose you think that helps

Jasper predictable but Whitey

 

[El_Scorcho]

How the f*** do we think this is going to work in practice?

What percentage of the game do you expect us to play with Young as our tallest forward marking target? Probably 50%?

Just think how amazing our one coast-to-coast goal will look. The other eight will be like pulling teeth and GWS will score 15+, but that's besides the point.

Aesthetics.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We've given ourselves zero prospect of any sort of tactical flexibility and as such, GWS will be able to monster us in the air. Absolutely monster us.

Are we playing Wines in the ruck or what?

 

[StuMan]

Baffling. But hardly unexpected from Ken and co.

What a joke.

But it's not a joke. Jokes are funny, this isn't funny.

 

[RossFC]

So we've got Dixon, Hoff and Young up forward with Jacko rucking, Clurey, Jonas and Broadbent as the "talls" down back.

This is gonna be a real tough task. We'll have to rely on our speed and our smalls like Wingard and Robbie Gray.

If we have Sam Gray as a FF and keep kicking it to his head we are f'd.

Now the insanity of our selectors has been confirmed, I will get to work on this week's GIF.

I'm not sure you'll be legally allowed to post it here.

Has anyone seen Hoff actually perspire as a result of 'being busy

It's as if the post-mortem was, "Adelaide swarmed us with extra men at the contest and really stifled our ball-movement and run, therefore we need more midfield numbers, movement and run. Pittard and White fit that bill perfectly."

But Adelaide still had talls at either end to both defend well and take match-changing marks, didn't they?

Nah, it must've been 15 midfielders plus Sam Jacobs, Eddie Betts and Daniel Talia.

Greaves: "Jasper can play tall, Houston can play tall"

Who the **** do our coaches think our players are?

 

[Rexie J]

Ken,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"We reward form"

 

[Port01]

Don't get why White is an automatic selection after 12 months and no form to speak of.
Surely he has to earn selection.

Don't they no Eddy is to blame either but when he is only getting 50% game time they clearly don't want what he brings.

I'm resigned to the fact we will never play with a traditional forward structure.

Kyle f***ing Hartigan has a career game against us ffs.

Is this a real quote? Sack him.

Greaves: "Austin and Johnson will be our traveling emergencies"

God, this week cannot get any weirder.

If they're not going to play Butcher Eddy under these circumstances why did we re-sign draft him?

2 emergencies? Something must be up.

 

[PatientMental]

2 emergencies? Something must be up.

Yeah we're picking Matt White.

 

[El_Scorcho]

2 emergencies? Something must be up.

We still have 4 tall players to remove from the side

 

[chachi11]

I like it when we pick short people & the coaches come out with " oh..but 'insert small player' can play tall"..

WTF..You know who can play tall? F******talls!

Aaron Young is playing the Aaron Mooy role for Huddersfield Deeper in defence but covering box to box more often. So he is scoring less goals and less assists than last year

It means he is puffed out more often. Young even changed his number to be closer to Aaron Mooys #11

Your name explains well.

Running a player this much is el Scorcho policy on a player

Jonas can play as a KPP. Under some circumstances.

Leaving Paul Stewart on the list and playing him at FF for this game would be better than what we've done here.

Ken is half right. First of all, we have to get the ball. This team is more likely to get the ball

The problem is, a-la H2 2014 and 2015+2016, we don't have any players up forward to kick it to when we do get it

Expect a lot of switching while we ~~let GWS set up their defensive positions~~ pull our forwards back into our forward lines
