Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 19 vs. Fremantle. Sun 20/07 @ 3:15pm (MCG)

Absolute best case imo is he’s 50/50 and they won’t risk it .


Our depth is now being tested even before resting etc…..

No good crying over spilt milk but damn …. Murphy was a loss

Just have to hope Dean can come in and not play so average. Get us through until Brisbane and bring back Howe then.

 

[Kes1984]

Has Kane piped up yet about Howe getting injured and gloating how our older guys are starting to feel the pinch at the end of the year.

Who cares
No one actually rates anything he says

Not worth Checking

It's not going to happen. Cochran is playing back flank and wing in the VFL - as a runner rather than a tall.

Oh, I know it won’t happen

Just putting forward which way I’d go with selection.

Given how rigid we are to our system, I doubt Dean gets selected anyway. When he’s there he basically ruins the entire system because he has no clue where to be so others have to cover for him and the whole thing falls apart

It’s why we looked so poor defensively against West Coast

Lucky it was only West Coast

Miss Bobby. My favourite Pie. Brings such energy and happiness. Just a beautiful man. I hope he’s ok.

I initially read this as you were addressing Bobby as a miss, not that you miss him.

If he doesn't play this week I'm pushing the panic button.

 

[yeah man]

If Bobby doesn't play again I am just going to start pretending he did an ACL. Can't spend every week hoping and being disappointed. Just need to look ahead and if it happens then it's a nice surprise.

Yeah, it was Dean’s fault we kept them to under 60 points.

Reckon Frampton might be a sneaky chance.

 

[stormskye]

Reckon Frampton might be a sneaky chance.

Was 2-3 weeks on the last injury update on the 8th

 

[yeah man]

Reckon Frampton might be a sneaky chance.

McCreery more of a sneaky chance imo. Frampton still a couple weeks away at the very least based off the last injury report. Even then, McCreery may still come back after the Freo game

 

[Jen2310]

Reckon Frampton might be a sneaky chance.

Not yet.

It is an estimate. If he trains well he could push for inclusion.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Gosh if Howe is out we could be in trouble.

With Treacy at 195cm and Amiss at 196cm then they usually play both Darcy and Jackson so one of them up forward as well, we could get exposed.

Dean would have to play, or McStay goes back or something I'm not sure.

And Voss.

They play with 3 talls and a resting ruckman at times down there.

 

[Run n Spread]

Who's rucking against Darcy & Jackson?

A forward line with Checkers, Membrey, McStay & Howes??

Cox with mcstay to chop out.
You are all stressing too much.
Beat Richmond and top 2 is locked if not already.
N Daicos ankle couldve been much worse and Howe is injured.
Madness running them all into the ground.
2 weeks rest have them up and going in September

 

[domus]

Domus, you said “we” have uncovered. So you mean the coaches, as in McRae. So it was his idea to put Josh in the centre. I highly doubt his “stubbornness” will affect him doing it again. He also touches on it in his press conference.

I've seen stubborn coaches in the past. I hope Fly does give Josh more midfield time but we were forced to play him there due to circumstances and coaches are often loathe to change team structure when injuries and form are not an issue.

 

[Run n Spread]

Miss Bobby. My favourite Pie. Brings such energy and happiness. Just a beautiful man. I hope he’s ok.

Rest him up. With his pace and skill could probably afford a few extra weeks.
Bring him back rd 22

 

[Run n Spread]

6 kicks and 6 handballs for Markov. I must have been watching a different game. I didn't see any of what you saw. I honestly don't want to see him in the side again. No tackles either. He's just making up the numbers. Don't take it personally, it's just what I think. I could be wrong

Set up a goal greatvrun through the corridor makes good decisions

I'm not stressing at all. But I don't like the idea of giving up 4 points for the sake of it.

Cox can't be number 1 ruck against Darcy & Jackson. That's just silly.

No one knows how Nick's ankle has pulled up, so that might be panicking on your behalf.

It would be ludicrous to bring in Howes, who's not AFL ready, alongside Checkers, McStay & Membrey.

Squad mentality anyone with a niggle can be replaced.
Hardwick maybe be a w***er but he's right.
Big boy month. Everyone now plays at gf like intensity rest those who you can't afford injury too than run into form a month out

Interesting that Hardwick isn't resting multiple players every week then if that's what you take out of 'big boy month'..

We have been managing players AND we have best 23 players on our injury list who aren't currently playing and will be fresh coming into the finals.

Not mention there are weekends off before finals & during the final series depending on where you finish.

Because they haven't yet guaranteed top 2 or top 4 finish so are going all in now. We don't have to.
Every post in September will be blokes always carry niggles. We don't have to.
3 wins from a premiership
