Preview Changes/Preview - round 3 v Sydney - Clarry 150! JVR debut!

[pjfairbairn]

Amartey the new Reid?

He's a genuinely good footballer, exactly what we needed to be looking at for a trade last year - much higher upside than Schache

 

[mrmonkey]

Hopefully JVR can step up, I suppose he can't be worse than some of the other plodders in that forward line.

I was super keen on him last offseason. Huge upside.

Tulip genuine question. Seperate our team into 3 groups( fwd,back,mid) which group of ours would you consider top 4 in the comp?

Our back 6 was great in 2021 but with Petty doing his best Omac impression right now it ain't the best but I'd concede it's around the mark of the best when it's up and about.

Cats are better, Freo around the mark.

Midfield ain't in the best 4.
Sydney, Collingwood, Port easily have a more diverse midfield with way more skill. An if you acknowledge that Gawn isn't really a mid, more an either end ruck then I'd say Brisbane and Carlton and the dogs can atleast match us on paper aswell if not better us especially this year.

Forward 6.

I mean s**t. Probably not even in the top 8 in the comp.

So exactly where is our main weapon to beat the competion and be the best?

Will come back to this, haven't had time to give it a proper response

 

[Crusty Demon]

It's JVR time!! Good luck champ! No pressure

 

[ZionMig22]

No brainer with JVR making his much-anticipated debut with Schache under concussion protocol

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

All good points, Grundy looks half fit. JVR going to have to give him a decent chop out I would say.

Didn't win a single forward stoppage of 23 elite midfield

Best in the comp.

Best in the comp.

I feel like our forward 50 stoppage work has been crap for ages aswell

 

[Topkent]

Honestly some of these stats it's almost making me reconsider the game. We were so ******* bad I think it's actually impossible for us to be that bad again. Losing forward clearances by 23-0 and then giving up 5 goals to Brisbane from forward stoppages is either a complete outlier or we are gonna be bottom 8 this year

That was my feeling after the game. We looked as bad as we have since 2019. Not tipping us on Sunday but expecting a siginificantly better performance. Don't mind if we lose if we play out of our skins and move the ball properly.

Squiggle is feeling rather optimistic today

 

[Swan4Life]

Amartey the new Reid?

Yes.

May as well give him the Kingsley now.

THE DEES ARE GOING TO BE SOMETHING!

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

THE DEES ARE GOING TO BE SOMETHING!

Always think of Bruce and Dennis jacking each other off in the box when I hear that.

 

[Scythe94]

Ah, here we go again (although I have no idea who this reporter is)

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

...but Goody promised!

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

...Fire Selwyn?

 

[Dory_77]

Out: Tomo, Gawn, Harmes
In: May, JJ, Hibb, JVR, Laurie, Dunstan

 

[00Stinger]

FFS! Swans by 12 goals.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen us beat the Swans live. Was there for the draw opening round a decade ago, but I've seen us lose to this mob far too often. Going to the game Sunday so apologies in advance.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jordon named, so he is definitely playing..here we go again, Goody reverting to same olds

I dont see how he fits in this side...more inside plodders through the midfield who offer nothing in terms of disposal? If Dunstan is an in also I might have to cancel plans to go to this.

We always seem to win in Sydney but lose at the g and this goes back to 2000, even in 05 and 06 when they were premiers and runners up we bear them at the scg. I've been fortunate enough to see Bruce's dees going to be special game, took it for granted, honestly thought that Melbourne team were going to be awesome.

I get the frustration. But he should offer more than Harmes for example, can play inside or outside mid, and I think he had a huge VFL game at the weekend.
