Preview Changes/Preview vs Fremantle (including Goodwin out)

[Crusty Demon]

Viney and Sparrow surviving the chop is wild. Tholstrupp getting a game based on nothing is also wild. Fullerton is a spud but let's try a few different things now the season is done. But the midfield is where most of our issues are, yet not one of them dropped. Lol

Why have 1 Sparrow when you can have 2 (Tholstrup) ?

What a name… selected based on that

 

[Oceanlabxo]

Play mcdonald forward so we can see Oscar vs tom

Could happen. Wasn't it this game last year when we were 90 points down that goody swung tom forward?

Can't remember but sounds like it worked

How the **** is Laser still not getting a game? No wonder all our B grade depth players **** off like Jordan, Hunt and Bedford did.

They perform in the 2s and continue to see blokes like Sparrow get gifted games ahead of them.

I kinda love how little Goody respects the Laser

 

[Lampers]

It’s not true disrespect until Goody unnecessarily goes to town on Laser during a press conference.

“Simon, Bailey Laurie had 50 touches, 8 goals and 40 tackles for Casey last week, any chance he comes in?”

Take it away Goody.

I bet Fritsch got dropped because some footy show made an example of him blazing away instead of passing it. Meanwhile Goodwin ignores the multiple times Viney turns it over a game. Fritsch has been poor but Viney has been far worse. I thought tagging might be good for Sparrow but it's actually made him worse. Perhaps drop Sparrow and make Viney a tagger would be a better option.

This feels so true. Dropped him only because TV told him to do it.

Meanwhile Oliver and Viney are two of the worst players in the comp

 

[tomcruise]

I bloody love these changes. What are your thoughts, Toump Ass?

 

[netslave]

dropped jvr and fritta, got to give him credit I guess

 

[Mich0]

As shit as JvR and Fritta have been, they are probably the only 2 AFL worthy forwards we actually had up there and are on our list.

Pickett aside as he is in the midfield half the time now.

 

[Topkent]

Turner came in for one game, was dropped for being shit, played one? Vfl game and then is now back in as the saviour?

What a ****ing mess

Na mate, VFL bye last week, he never even played a VFL game haha

Played round 2, dropped, played round 4, dropped again, now playing round 6. Proper revolving door selections.

It really does look like Goody saw them calling our forward line shit and decided just swapping em out is a solution

Yeah he is completely clueless. This was a total reactionary selection based on media heat. Some of it was warranted but he's completely misjudged it. We are shit because the game plan is shit and our mids are all carbon copies who can't rein a ball and deliver it forward properly.

I look forward to us having the same problems as always this week and getting pummeled. The pressure cooker will keep getting turned up on this fraud.

 

[Toump Ass]

Masterclass in coaching imo.

Becayse if the forward line fails, then the Dees board will be great. Win/win.

 

[Toump Ass]

Fritsch lmao.
Along with Kozzie he kicked half our goals. And we dropped him.

Officially putting Tholstrup on notice. I haven't seen anything notable yet. Time to shine son!!!

Kicked one from a free kick for deliberate and one from a soft 50. Has been rubbish all year, overdue to be dropped.

Selfish, out of form, ranked 23rd out of 30 for disposal by foot this year for us, and ranked 3rd last for expected score rating (so also kicking terribly for goal).

 

[Daemon]

I don't have a problem sending Fritsch and JVR back to the VFL to find form. I just wish this policy applied to Goody's favourites like Viney, Oliver, and Sparrow.

 

[booshboy]

don't worry... throwing him into the seniors off the back of 0 pre-season will be the FIRE STARTER he needs. MAKE SUM NOIZE!!!!

 

[tomcruise]

Tholstrup straight in is weird. So is the timing with Fritsch & JVR, should've happened two weeks ago, but like everything with this coaching group, takes too long to do anything.

If they were holding players accountable, Clarry should've been dropped for not running defensively.

Have some bloody standards, Melbourne.

 

[Toump Ass]

Overdue to be dropped.

Sure, but he's always been a little bit of a confidence player and after however many games of shit we dump him when he finally looks like turning the corner? The **** is that.

It also is demonstrably undeserved while Viney, Sparrow, Sharp, Oliver etc. get a game.

He had to go. VFL will do him some favours.
