Unofficial Preview Changes & pre match discussion vs Carlton (Good Friday Footy)

[danj]

Just hoping for a good and competitive contest. The AFL and its footy media whores are just itching to have another ‘big’ club involved. Let’s not give them any more ammo. My Carlton mates still panic and get anxious when they play North. 20+ years of beatings does that I suppose.

The beatings continue from tomorrow

Curtis Taylor got photos of match committee??

Not sure how he has not been dropped yet this season

This is the sort of post that is destined to bite the poster on the bum

Bonar is constantly getting asked to play out of his weight class yet people hang s**t on him.

Hope he gets a crack at playing small at some stage so we can judge him fairly.

A fair crack? He’s been in the system for 6 years. He’s had ample time and shown precisely zero ability.

 

[Lomas]

I'm not sure what Turner's spot is, exactly.

Will Wardlaw attack the contest as hard as Turner? If yes, IMO Wardlaw needs to replace him.

I think that Turner has provided manic pressure across the foward lines, and is quicker than Wardlaw. Wardlaw would be wasted in that role, and probably couldn’t actually do it at his current fitness level. He needs to build and then come into the midfield rotation, the chance will come and we can then rotate the young guns.

There was nothing wrong with the selection. Remember at that time we didn't have Logue. KPD stocks were painfully thin.

What's wrong about it is the fact that we obviously don't rate him enough to even give him a taste at the level, rendering the selection null and void. Really bizarre. Thought he'd have been given a decent crack given our recent shitness

That’s exactly why you draft for talent and not need

I like the changes , Goats has defensive issues and well Kid Kallan as the smart money suggested isn’t there yet.

Go shorter and flood them *ers

He was touted as a top three prospect in that crop though so I don't have an issue with it

Easier said than done, but no easy ball for Cripps, tackle him to the ground at every opportunity, bump him when running past etc etc

With any luck Cripps will be trying to do that to our guys

It hasn’t worked out - that’s patently clear. Having said that, Edwards was the unanimous selection across the board and in the media. He still has time too.

He must of been playing against 14 yr olds

Turner quicker than Wardlaw.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Turner quicker than Wardlaw.

yep and wardlaw ain’t gonna play forward

If he ain’t in the guts then at a stretch the only other position would be wing early on in his afl career

 

[Lomas]

Turner quicker than Wardlaw.

He actually is in his defensive movement.

"Manic" used very flippantly as well...

 

[scottywiper]

Our strike rate with mid season draft is dynamite!

Yep. Elite.

This is one case where it is not used flippantly. The bloke is limited, but he has this.

More headless chook

Multiple spoils. I’m not saying he is a champion, but credit where credit is due, he plays his pressure role well.

The cynicism has merit, but TBF, it was covid-interrruptus, and Caracas is right, all judges (including this board) had Edwards as #1 in that MSD.

Charlie Ham on the other hand must have been a Glenn Luff special

 

[shinboner magic]

Larkey and comben can’t be out marked - need to cut off that interceptions and stop their slingshot

Hope it does but its heart in mouth stuff at the moment when he is near the ball.

Is there a single player across the entire AFL who is a solid best 22 player who came from the mid-season draft?

I can't think of one.
