Changes for R2

I'm glad I didn't sign up this year

I wish you would just leave, honestly. Why post big footy with all your negativity if you aren’t even a member

Makes more sense than posting negatively and being a member. Withholding $$ is one of the only actions you can take to force real change.

p.s. I also wish he would leave

That is pathetic. In fact you a a pathetic excuse for a barracker.

Seems crazy not to give Hayes a few games while Dixon is out - if we wanted to blood him with Lycett, now is the time. Just like it was crazy when he didn't play when Lycett was out last year and he could have played with Ladhams.

But Ken is very conservative with selections, so was never going to play 3 new players together.

Sinn and Skinner are both good selections. Hopefully they play well and we have better luck with injuries.

I don’t see any difference between PAFC66’s posts and the rest of the negativity on this board tbh

Hayes will request a trade come seasons end and then Ken will wonder why.

Trade away Ladhams, refuse to play Hayes, then wonder why we don’t have a second/future 1st ruck and we’re stuffed

It’s not going to be Ken wondering why.

Sad to see Mead out, but the kid never adjusted to the tempo last week. Looked like a nervous, scared kid, probably a result of a couple broken years. Clearly just needs to build a heap more confidence before coming in. Hopefully he gets a consistent run at it at SANFL level and works his way back in brimming with confidence.

 

[afl2004]

Can't watch these anymore, can stand to listen to the w***er

 

[Windy Cindy]

Should be playing Hayes. Lycett needs support desperately. Freo play meek and low and behold he shows he has some real talent.. but no we keep ignoring Hayes.

Should be playing motlop. Not sure what has happened but with our lack of small
Fwds he has to be picked.

Happy for sinn and skinner..

Get it done for Russ.

 

[philthy05]

Hayes will request a trade if he’s not blooded soon. Would be playing in probably majority of teams. God we’re useless

If Hayes requested a trade we would be up shit creek.

 

[robbo1981]

Perfect time to blood Hayes with Dixon out Lycett could play that stand there and put 1 hand up role drop Marshall.
Also disappointed Mead didn't get another chance give X a game off FFS.
Happy with Sinn and Skinner in though hope they go well .

 

[Igavemyloveachicken]

You’re not winning a premiership with Marshall as your key CHB.

We're probably not winning a flag even if our list is fit.
There's no reason that Marshall couldn't play a backline role like Matthew Bishop did for Port Adelaide.
Unless he's trialled back there for a handful of games then it's all speculation as to what his backline abilities are, much easier to half a contest than win it especially given Port's forward structure.

 

[Grave Danger]

I'm fine with the changes, they all make sense.

Mead is unlucky but let's not forget it was only last week that everyone was a bit puzzled that he got the nod for R1 ahead of Sinn.

Last week Sinn had only played half a game in about three weeks. Now it will be half a game in the last month.

 

[Jonts]

No issues with those changes

Presuming Mead to sub

That’s what I thought as well Mead to sub

You can envisage a future where he goes somewhere that maximises his strengths as a roaming connective forward and looks a million bucks, while we pay a king’s ransom for Luko only to constantly bomb it on his head following slow ball movement and render him moot.

 

[Power Raid]

really happy with the changes. I feel Skinner and Sinn will have a major impact this season.

it will be a tough week, even against the hawks given the squad available though

Gee you talk some epic sh!t!

We could try Lukosius as a tall defender.

 

[davesnothere]

We could try Lukosius as a tall defender.

By the end of the year we will be more likely to get King off the Suns than Luko.

 

[jonasshirtfront]

Don't understand why they didn't play Hayes, this is the perfect time for him and Lycett to switch between ruck and Dixon's "bomb it on his head because he doesn't know how to lead" role. Drop one of Finlayson or Marshall for him, easy.

 

[ozph1870]

By the end of the year we will be more likely to get King off the Suns than Luko.

He’s already signed a two year extension this year

I don't enjoy his posts all that much but I can't see why he can't post what he wants.
