Unofficial Preview Changes/pre-match discussion vs St Kilda - Firrito in, Mullett out

[Envelopes]

Hansen, Spud, Tarrant and Thompson in the backline together concerns me

We are so slow getting it out when we play that tall. The other concerning thing is Tarrant is probably the first I'd pick. What happened to the other three?

 

[nicko74]

Yeah you would think McKenzie is done at our club

 

[Mav]

Hope Higgins plays.

Footy Show let it slip that hes not.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Footy Show let it slip that hes not.

Not two ******* weeks, is it?

 

[Reginald0]

Yeah you would think McKenzie is done at our club

BMac is a1st rnd draft pick,is 21 and is hopefully learning and improving

plenty of players have played a lot of games in the 2nds and gone on to have good careers

Wood and Dumont in same boat

continuing to play firrito gibbo and nahas will be proved wrong or right over the next few weeks
maybe the team is too old
but no one really knows

[Petrie4PM]

Harper / McKenzie done - if we recruit a big name at trade week / FA - then done done done done done for sure.

 

[Shermanator]

This game has DANGER written all over it!

We drop this and we're cooked. The comp is too even and sides around us have some pretty easy games coming up.

I'm as toey as KD Lang in a fish market..

True - but every game has danger written all over it if you are a NMFC supporter.

Hence the reason our family has top cover medical insurance, my ticker can't keep up.

Come to think of it it's a wonder medical funds don't have a section asking if you're a Nth supporter on their application forms.. following this club must cost the medical industry millions..

 

[franjon]

seriously youguys saying drop nahas bring in harper are tripping obvously nahas is doing the thing needed and he kicks goals harper hasnt had breakout games in vfl like nahas did i like harper but he gotta show what he can do before taking nahas spot same goes for turner

Fortunately for us, the team isn't picked by BF posters. I remember watching Nahas at Port Melbourne, he was a little ball tearer. I think clubs were put off because of his size, but they were put off for the same reason about Harvey, not to make a comparison, obviously. If we could manage to win the ball in the middle more often than not, Nahas would be a positive because I've noticed when it happens, his energy and unpredictability worries opposition defences.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Hopefully Gibson makes for wells in weeks to come. Start penning in a finals side. Rest Higgins

 

[Petrie4PM]

Danger game for sure, Roos turn up asleep, roos by 15 points, we switch on, roos by 64

Yeah good point, i'd much rather a stubborn, belligerent man picking a team to save his coaching career over a bunch of people who have spent their entire lives supporting the club emotionally and financially.

This attitude is so wrong.

This is Dads army bullshit, even if we win a final with this side is makes no difference to our future chances of winning a final and/or a flag.

Nahas & Gibbo, why?
4 tall defenders, why?
No rest for injured players in Higgo, Swallow and Brown, Why?
Not playing kids in form, in Wood, BMac, Dumont, Harper, (Black)

Yeah...let's back in the turkeys that have had 6 years to take us where exactly?

don't see what's wrong with nahas, great pressure and unpredictability.

4 tall defenders? tarrant, hansen and...thompson? he's only 193, that's a utility...no idea who your other tall is...wright?

no rest because it's a must win game.

other than taking gibson out i don't see why you'd start dropping players in a winning team.....and harper and black aren't in form players.

team is very different to the one six years ago....

 

[RobZombie]

Yeah you would think McKenzie is done at our club

That's the obvious conclusion.

If anyone wants to hold out a slim hope of him getting in and making a difference, Werribee do have the bye and one of the emergency spots was probably between him and Wood.

Reggie, for a weird little dude[1] you're an astute poster.

[1] Obviously I actually have no idea, but I'm going with my mental picture here.

 

[KillaKanga]

4 f***ing quarters please.

Wells to have 20 and 2 goals please. Have him cherry ripe to play the Tigers in the last round.

Isn't the best chance of us winning a potential future flag to win as many games as possible now hopefully win some finals which will keep our membership and sponsorship numbers good and encourage more free agents like Dal Santo, Waite and Higgins to get on board. Therefore I think we should pick the best side every week regardless of someones age.

How many good free agents have gone to sides near the bottom of the ladder?

He always has good points

 

[roosmad]

None of this refutes the point being made in the post you replied to.

Wasn't trying to refute, just highlighting the teams we play especially dockers and dogs, they are games we will need to play very well in to win but given Ross the boss has rested players previously and the trip after playing in the west is always a tough one to win which it will be for the dogs..

 

[Dirty_11]

Doubt on Higgins and Brown:
