Preview Changes/Preview Vs Geelong

[adrenalinjunkie]

Thats all well and good but we have Cunners and Garner to get into the team. I'd rather look to win the game with Garner and Cunners to come in over playing guys who we know aren't there yet but who will have had a taste.

And who knows, with this side in it's just possible that we could ... WIN the game.

Just imagine.

Garner in. Great.

Cunners in. Great.

Daw in. Logical.

Mullett. Meh.

Could we have given Durds a crack? Maybe. Bloke did have 8 touches last weekend in the VFL. I wonder how the coaches saw his defensive performance? If he spudded it up in a VFL praccy does that mean any JLT form is void? I should think so. Happy to back in Taz, Thompson and Hansen against Geelong. The defence will likely be under the pump so going with the guys who have done it before ain't necessarily a bad thing.

B: Thompson - Tarrant - Williams
HB: McDonald - Hansen - Macmillan
C: Gibson - Cunnington - Higgins
HF: Garner - Brown - Thomas
F: Simpkin - Daw - Hrovat
R: Goldy - Ziebell - Dumont
Int: Gibson - Atley - Turner - Mullett

In: Cunnington - Garner - Daw - Mullett
Out: Preuss - Hibberd - Waite - Mountford

Good changes for the most part which will make us better. Not sure about Mullett over Mountford (who I think would be a great assett for midfield spread) but we need that extra option for the back flank. Would be happy for Dec to be given that opportunity however.

Preuss just ain't a forward at AFL level yet so will need to wait for Goldy's spot to open up. Hibberd didn't do too badly in his first hit out and will smash it in the VFL. Good kid.

Not a bad team at all. Hope Garns kills it. Love the kid.

It will be interesting to see how these players respond to not being picked. They should take a page out Froggy and Wood's book and make sure to keep improving on their deficiencies. Those boys where made to earn their spot longer than most.

The kids are close. I hope that they force out older players by years end but it is up to them to do the work. When they are ready I hope the coach has the cajones to make the changes and swing the axe on older performers.

Quite the show, hey?

I would have thought that a more rational person would....oooh, I dunno....maybe give the committee a chance to actually establish some kind of selection pattern for the season before fast-forwarding straight to 'conniption'. Particularly when the first Round saw a clear willingness to blood noobs. But, hey, pitchfork-wielders gonna pitchfork-wield.

It's staggering just how carried away some people are getting with this shit. It's like Logan's ****ing Run around here at the moment.

The best part is, even as we speak you just know that the Footy Gods are arranging a BOG performance for one of this forum's favourite whipping boys on the weekend. Wonder who it will be.

After reading this I realised how much i overacted lol probably because I hate seeing someone putting out a putrid performance like that

Good post though

Wat?

Speed and can actually hit passes? What's the problem?

Mullet is not a really important player.

Not even close to that.

Goldstein is really important. Tarrant is really important.

Mullet is most certainly not.

If Mullett gets back to his best he can be a very important player, especially with Wright out injured.

Or maybe it is just a ruse to trick dangers so he thinks at any moment we will implement plan b or c, but the clever part of the plan is that we stick to plan a.

 

[Frank Thring]

Your logic and reasonableness have no place here. You should leave before someone tosses a bag at you.

Except for the little fact that the club announced last year we will be having an aggressive reset

What do you think Scott should have said? "We thought we'd give Mullett a go - probably won't make any difference because he's a meh fringe player, but I guess we'll see."

'Aaron played well in the VFL last week and deserves his place in the team to take on Geelong'

I doubt we'd expect him to say that. But, by the same token, it's surely okay to scoff at the public utterances as being tripe?

How about "Mullett brings some pace and offensive ability, and has some fair experience at this level now. He knows what's expected of him."?

Yeah, but where's the required hyperbole?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

'Aaron played well in the VFL last week and deserves his place in the team to take on Geelong. He's a great blend of Gary Ablett, Peter Matera and Robert Harvey. He'll probably win the Brownlow and without him, we're completely devoid of any match winning players on field. It's a pleasure to have him back.

All but rules out Mountford. Looks like the 3 rooks are dropped!

 

[Pep Fraudiola]

I'm at the point now of wanting to be beaten by 100 every week until Scotts is gone.

He is incapable of building a meritocracy and as such should be banished. We are rebuilding, tanking whatever you want to call it, yet the same old names appear, the same old flawed structures being adhered to.

We are officially a laughing stock.

Tweet abbreviations not fully accurate and miss out a lot. "An important part of our back half." The Atley role?
