Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 5 vs. WCE, OS Fri 16/04 @ 8:10pm

[Chrispiesssss]

Why do people think Howe will play forward?

 

[Stripes B and W]

exactly what I was thinking - Bucks is damned whatever he does - just bizarre.
These people are so fickle.

Apparently people really believe our Coach selects a side based on the respect he has for the father of our listed players..Just think that through and wonder.
Surely it Trumps flat earthers and Covid deniers.
Taking it seriously and rebutting the proposition that CB play only plays bcs he is GB's son...
Why then is TB not playing this week and last? Only 50% respect for Gavin.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Not sure why Cox is out, but I'm glad Cameron is in as he is in our best 22 and played well against West Coast last year both times. He did well in the ruck against Nic Nat partnered with Grundy, so I wonder how much rucking Cameron will do. If he does a bit, that leaves Mihocek as the #1 tall option (which could be a tactic against a tall West Coast forward line) or Moore is playing forward which I am against. Keane and Roughead will take 2 of their tails and the other will be taken by either Madgen or Moore (if he's kept down back). Kennedy, Darling and Allen will beat up on Keane, Madgen and Roughy, so I think Moore has to play back and I hope Bucks recognises that and Keane is brought in as a third tall back.

Hoping Crisp is given more midfield minutes with Sier and Adams out, and Sidebottom playing forward more.
Looking forward to seeing Macrae and McCreery again.

Fair to say sier wont be at the pies next year

Ruscoe will be sub


Would of played cox and dropped grundy

I wouldn't be dropping Grundy. just sacking the ruck and mid coach.. seriously i'm tired of him trying these perfect taps. if he just whacked it 20+m forward every few centre it would not only give us forward momentum but also keep the opposition mids guessing so they would have to play a little more defensive and push out a bit further back. so then when he does to those pissy taps the mids have room to work with

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

You cant make this sh1t up. Cox out? Spare me.

Scapegoat- probably has his own views that aren’t in line with Buckley’s.

 

[Magnanimous]

Way to show support for our players.

It’s reality at this time but hey he is missing now so a major relief[emoji6] lighten up Jmac.
FWIW Liam is on par with Green, and would love a player of his caliber here at the Pies.

It would seem the Moore forward chatter now has momentum.

Mick McGuane said he should be dropped. Confident he has more of a clue than you.

Congratulations for finding an even worse option

 

[Moore of the Same]

It wasnt even that bad a game.

Exactly this.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

It would seem the Moore forward chatter now has momentum.

Its the only thing that makes sense.... why else would Keane come in for Cox?

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I like Mason, he’s cool. Nothing wrong with trying something different.
Isn’t this what people wanted?

Don't you read this forum? Surely you would be aware that Cox is not one of the players posters have been seeking to have dropped.

What is the story with Sier? Did the AFL give permission for him to play? Has he been dropped? If so, it's a ridiculous decision by the club, as we have lost Adams and there are no other inside mids capable of contributing to the extent that Sier might have done if playing.

 

[surfer1]

Yes, you are.

Good on you

will have more impact from the stands than JT will in the forward pocket.

Disagree with all due respect ... Grundy is playing rubbish ...more chance of cox kicking 3 goals

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Its the only thing that makes sense.... why else would Keane come in for Cox?

Because Cameron can play forward and Madgen has moved up to the wing?

The best 22 is beginning to resemble something that you can get behind this year, but there’s still a few taking us absolutely nowhere in Greenwood, Mayne, Brown and Madgen. They can’t all go out at once...

Mark Jamar has literally just started as ruck coach so definitely not he’s fault, hoping he can change a few things.

He’s been dropped. Something going on there I reckon.
Maybe not gastro, maybe a hangover...

Yes Cox is a better forward than Grundy. Sandra Sully with the late news.

Its still a rubbish option

 

[jmac70]

Liam Ryan will have more impact from the stands than JT will in the forward pocket.

No, he won’t.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’m 90% sure Moore or Howe won’t play forward.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

No, he won’t.

It’s called a joke mate. JT’ flipping useless.
