Preview Changes & Preview Thread versus the clowns

[Wargreymon90]

Out: Rioli, McEntee
In: DBJ, Fantasia (Narkle if Fantasia is in fact injured)

We shouldn’t be doing any more than this. Clear best 22 players like Marshall and Wines, who may be down on form, simply have to be backed in this late in the season.

 

[JUSTWORK]

I do wonder if the club pulled Fantasia because Rioli was getting suspended, didn't want him coming off a 6 day break ?

 

[Us against the rest]

This could be our 3rd loss in a row.

Statistically Hayes is in front of Visentini at this stage. In his only AFL game this year Sam Hayes had 10 disposals and 18 hit outs while in his only AFL game this year Dante Visentini had 4 disposals and 2 hit outs. Meanwhile in 4 games this year Teakle has averaged almost 21 hit outs and 10 disposals. While I do not think Teakle has any long term future as a AFL player on the stats he looks the best option if we decide to rest Lycett.

The question of course is how fit is Lycett? He looked cooked in last night's game and really looks like he needs 2 or 3 week's rest.

Our rucks are in a mess is an understatement.

The only way Lycett doesn't go around is fitness. We simply have no other option.

Gets another couple of weeks then Teakle can fill in for a couple of weeks.

That would leave Lycett 2 games then a break before finals.

Rankine just pinged a string so no Rankine or Rachele for them.

Fertile ground for a new spud that tears us apart

This is a great theory and one I'm hoping for

 

[StueyDaDew]

Another 2 week break for Willie by the looks

 

[Hot Port]

Going to be a tough battle next week

 

[blackholeguns]

Yeah I’m keen for a Fanta cameo this week.. great timing

No Rankine?
Port by 80

 

[Winganeen]

Going to be a tough battle next week

They're 13th and have won one in the last 5. They're without Rachelle and Rankine.
They've played away and have a days less break.

I know form counts for nothing in a showdown but carn.

 

[VineValerian]

Port by 12.
11g 17b versus 10g 11b.

 

[Festerz]

2 weeks for Rioli. Will they appeal?

MRO grading intentional, high contact and medium impact but reckon that medium impact is wrong. Was low impact exacerbated by Murphy's flop work.

Rioli just gets a fine for an open handed tap.
Player played on.
No concussion.

MATCH REVIEW: Rioli learns his fate as Hawk, Eagle cop bans

The match review is in for round 19's Saturday games

This was two weeks. They bloody well should.

Rioli out suspended

On the replay it looked like an open handed slap

It was. AFL is as corrupt as they come. No way that is worth 2 weeks. We have to appeal the decision.

I would delist Teatkle at season's end but lets be honest, Lycett is a catastrophic issue when he is playing right now. There is zero expectation with him to even win the hitouts or tap it to our mids. His only role is to 'nullify' the opposition ruck and apart from a game agaisnt English, he does a ****ing terrible job of it.

The mitigating factor here was it being on Bailey Smith.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

7 news reported Fantasia had quad tightness in the warm up and that was why he was withdrawn.

How true that is, who knows?

I can't see them getting away with changing it from intentional to careless.

However there's zero doubt they could get away with low impact, but as it's high it'll be one at best.

Even though personally I think Murphy has clearly flopped playing for a free. Absolutely cops a scratching slap to the area just under the ear on the neck and goes down so softly. Happens on the street and you'd barely flinch and just go, what was that and move on.

Lycett has won a Premiership and has played high quality games against Melbourne, Geelong, Bulldogs and Brisbane this year. lol.

Your living in the past

 

[Janus]

Remember that due to the SANFL's pissant policies, if we have a fit AFL player he has to play in the SANFL if he's not playing AFL. So if we did pull Fantasia out to play against Adelaide this week, we would have to come up with some bullshit excuse like quad tightness to do so.

Holy shit!
Just realised it was on Murphy…
