Preview Changes/Preview – Round 16 vs Gold Coast

[schmuttt]

Out: Lever JVR Windsor
In: Sharp Jefferson Tholstrup

Petty up forward again is madness and I'm not sure why we rush Tholstrup back in.

 

[mrmonkey]

Lever out seems to be a step in the right direction but is it truly a sign of preparing the team for the future.

JVR has been really out of form, but I really don't think Jefferson is going to do any better. He's averaging 4.5 disposals a game (I'm not including the one where he got injured) and his last game he was invisible and got subbed out. I was happy to never see him again after that Hawthorn game

Still pissed that the millionaire midfield is the same, and that Petty is still up forward

Averaging 15 disposals, 6 marks, 3 tackles and 3 goals a game over the last 5 VFL games.

Deserves a shot over an out of form Roo.

 

[Macka1203]

petty still riding the wave of those 5 quarters against richmond and norf in 2023 where he looked like a forward

 

[Crusty Demon]

Those ins lol

Just given up havent we. Zero depth i guess if this is all we got.

the season is over so what's the harm in giving Jefferson some experience? We should've brought in Kynan brown and some others like Jed Adams too.

 

[I Love Lamb]

What the **** has Tholstrup or Sharp done in the 2s to earn his spot that Laser hasn’t?

What an absolute shambles our 2023 draft haul has turned into. Barry Prendagast level drafting.

Ok

I still think he'll be worse than Roo, and the bar is very low

 

[Daemon]

These changes are laughable. The only good one is Lever out but I'm confused who is playing his position now? Unless they are sending Petty back (I hope).

Windsor out and Sharp in is just dumb. Can't even remember who our sub was last game but they can go out and make Sharp the super sub.

I don't know what the hell is going on with JVR. It's like Goody is systematically grinding any chance of him building confidence at AFL level.

Jeffo in is good.

Tholstrup is a joke, this guy is no good, not even sure where he is playing unless it's as sub.

I'd probably like to see them both in at the same time if they're the future, but I seriously just don't think Jeffo is up to it and I think he'll be even worse than Roo has been this year.

None of this matters if we've got the same doghshit kicking millionaire midfield kicking it to them

 

[I Love Lamb]

I’m ok with Jeffo for Lever.

Other changes are classic MFC revolving door of trash depth while blokes like Laser are earning there spot week in week out.

Just gotta pick on form though. Likely won't come in and be great, but he's earned a shot and playing will be good for his development as well. If we don't try new/young players who have earned it the rest of the year then we're wasting the season.

Laurie won't be on our list next year, and his value isn't moving anywhere now, so not much point playing him.

I'm hoping it means you average less posts per day in 2026 but I'm sure you'll find a replacement catchphrase.

atleast Tholstrup plays with confidence. jvr doesn't even have the confidence to take uncontested marks.

like I said I'd rather both of them in for development and both over Petty cos I think Petty future is down back.

I think I'm in more response to all the Dees fans comments saying "Get him in! Can't be any worse than what we've got now!" - I seriously think he will be worse than what we've got now lol

Ah well, and if he's worse then he'll be dropped and we'll find out more about our list. No big loss when the season is cooked, got to use it for something.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Can anyone tell me why we brought in Campbell? Or better yet, Fullerton?

 

[The Dr]

Definitely an appropriate time to judge our 2023 draft

[schmuttt]

JVRs confidence is so low he might as well play VFL for rest of year to get form. Petty forward still is infuriating though.

 

[stEdy]

Taking an out of form Tmac out of the team to rush Lever back has not worked.

Lever misses a lot of footy and comes back from injury very slowly. Needs to play 2-3 games at Casey coming back from a lay off. I'm getting a little over him and think we should try and get a late first/early second for him if it's on offer.

 

[I Love Lamb]

JVRs confidence is so low he might as well play VFL for rest of year to get form. Petty forward still is infuriating though.

To be fair when he leads at the ball carrier they boot it over his head, when he takes back position, 12 other blokes congregate on top of him so he can’t win.

He is too undersized to be our focal point.

 

[The Dr]

Interesting they're playing one less KP player. I assume Howes will be tasked as a third tall defender. Will be interesting.

 

[Undisputed]

Hopefully next year Langford goes onball and Windsor goes to the wing
