Preview Changes/Preview – Round 2 vs. Hawthorn

[Bluelegs]

Exactly
If you have an asset and someone offers you above the value of that asset you'd be dumb not to atleast talk about it. Doesn't matter how valuable it is

Trading Hogan to get May is pretty much the perfect example of this.

 

[Topkent]

Since he never gets dropped, I'd say his role is a low impact half forward, plays it to perfection

Real question is why didn't we sign him for 7 years
Missed opportunity

An remember the melts over that lol. We'd still be in a flag drought without the danster attitude.

I'm still waiting for the return of Demon Bhoy.

This is pure Headless

It's the nice thing to do.

We’ve been crying out for a low impact half forward for years

Other clubs don't realise that even though low impact half forwards are hard to find in the draft, you can just draft midfielders and turn them into low impact half forwards.

It's hard to be that clever sometimes. Essendon in the past would recruit low impact half back flanks and turn them into midfielders, but have stupidly moved on from this strategy

Kozzy 7 CBAs isn’t enough imo. Should be in just under half.

 

[Jamurp]

Feel like Sparrow is one of Goody’s boys so doubt he’ll get dropped yet.

Petty probably comes in although really should he given more time.

I’d drop Lever if I was being brutal, been genuinely woeful to the start the season.

0 CBAs for Sparrow on the weekend. Once again I ask: what is his role meant to be?

I've (somewhat) stood up for him in the past, mostly because I don't have high expectations of him, and have also tried to explain what I reckon his role is, but that game on the weekend was just bizarre. Not sure if he didn't seem to have any clear role and thus had a bad game, or he had a bad game which made it seem like he didn't have a role.

I wouldn't be upset if he was dropped for Kolt or Pup this week, seems unlikely, but Goody does drop players he thinks have areas to work on. Gus was dropped (albeit it was the start of the season) for his work ethic, Rivers was dropped to work on his kicking, so you never know I guess. Wouldn't be putting money on it this week though.

Bring back Dutchy

If im Sam Mitchell im absolutely sending Finn Maginess to Oliver this week on the back of Goody's press conference last year.

Bring back Dutchy

Such a weird hate boner you had for him. Holland was no world beater but he was very serviceable.

If we had a player averaging 10 disposals and a goal right now at his size playing second fiddle this joint would be calling for him to be permanently in the VFL.

Nostalgia goggles.

Good one, played games in defense as well forward.

I got the feeling that they didn’t put him into the midfield mix earlier because we were on top in that area so no point disrupting it.

But yeh generally I’d like to see him get more than that too.

Pretending to be an AFL footballer.

 

[mrmonkey]

Would you give him the chance if we lost?
What's one more week offer that the last 2 years haven't

I'm okay with giving him another game. Tell him he needs more intensity and lay some tackles. I don't care if he doesn’t score along as he can generate chances with pressure.

How else would you guarantee Oliver and Salem 50 disposals between them it other guys played there

Played all of 2006 in defense lol swing an miss from LP again

Actually thought Salems game was OK. Yes he did have one terrible entry but he also had some of those touch kicks he’s normally good at. I’m still not sold on him but at least it’s a different type of player in the middle.

Yeah, I think we'd both agree though that Pickett should still have some more with another more explosive player getting some minutes as well. If Olivers gonna get back to winning it alot that 3rd spot should be shared around

Honestly I’d like to see Oliver/Viney/Pickett start every quarter with Trac up forward. Give Koz CBAs here and there to keep him involved, then we also should be running Salem/Windsor/Sparrow through there.

Salem and Windsor yes, Sparrow can only replace Viney or Oliver and Oliver doesn't play anywhere else on the ground. It's why I don't get why Sparrows playing
It's like we're keeping him on the field just in case Oliver does a hammy one game
