Unofficial Preview Changes & prematch discussion vs Adelaide - Round 22

[Val Keating]

Thought it might be another week away, wonder if it is the first of two farewell games? Hope not, love Cunners

Listening to him speak he’s got zero intentions of retiring

yeah surprised they didnt give him 1 more full vfl game then a home return after playing limited mins

Direct swap for LDU? He didn’t train today and looked sore.
How great if we saw Cunnington, Mckay, Comben, Thomas and Perez in.

 

[The acurate one]

He's 20 years old. Should probably be out this week but it's a bit early to judge the pick as a screw up.

Though I guess it's not really surprising seeing that miserable campaigner you're replying to shitting on another one of our young players.
Death. Taxes. Showing ignored content and seeing a TAO post about delisting some poor kid, calling them a 'shitmen' etc. The circle of life really.

A tad harsh Drzoos, especially when one considers how much time you spend in the shitmen thread lol.

I do love a good hypocrite though. Plenty more there if I need to get 'em.

Have a good day * knuckle and back the * off me.

No way Cunners or TT comes in imo. R23 more likely

Edit: just saw the article saying that he is gonna play seniors. Egg on my face there. Go well mate

Club has already announced Cunners is in

Yea, saw that straight after I posted that comment lol. Actually kinda shocked, didn't think he moved that well last week and I thought the club said he pulled up sore, but there ya go

 

[The Nostradamus]

Surely Thomas in now also

Performed better than cunners last week and is definitely more match fit understandably

 

[Val Keating]

Cunners isn't playing in Adelaide next week.

He’s playing. Knowing Cunners he just didn’t want the fanfare from the media.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

if that's really it, we should be stripped of both. tanking is unacceptable.

What the * Liam?

Are you mad?

 

[Val Keating]

At this point I’ll be spewing if we went through this rubbish year and didn’t get something out of it. Pick 1 and a PP will almost finish our rebuild

The mentality of some people is ridiculous

 

[muttley45]

Welcome back Cunners, soon as i heard he was back, straight to Sportsbet,

Us by 1-25 @ $7, over 25 @$17, a pineapple on both.

(did the same the day Noble departed prior to Richmond game)

We're not tanking. Suggesting that we are, or that we should, is offensive.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

We're not tanking. Suggesting that we are, or that we should, is offensive.

To who?

I don’t find it offensive.

 

[The acurate one]

Correct we’re not tanking but to suggest we’re not manipulating the situation would be incorrect.

 

[gokangas]

HES *EN BACK!!!

He's Essendonen back? I don't get it.

Probably fair enough too, obviously too good for the level but gee he has blown up every week. Fitness really hit the skids this year

TT missed a month of footy on personal leave, presumably in Sydney with his family. Evidently doesn't look like he trained over that period. Looks to have popped a couple kgs on, and literally can't finish a qtr in the VFL. Conversely Cunners been preparing meticulously with an aim to play seniors before the years finished. Sure TT played more footy, but he has 10 min of good footy in him a qtr before he is doubled over. Zero issues with him earning his spot in the vfl

Cunners also had a calf strain and then covid

Trained 1 week then play 3/4 of a VFL game

So in the last 3 weeks TT would have trained more and played more
