Preview Changes: R16 2019 vs Port Adelaide

[marty36]

How so?

Average at best last year.

Slow, fumbles, falls over.

3 games now where he has been worst on ground and shown no improvement, can't make contests, doesn't apply effective pressure, doesn't do anything with ball in hand, when he finally gets a cheapie from a team mate.

Please do explain how he is 'far from cooked'?

His body is far from cooked like you said

Wrong - he is cooked.

 

[BACCS]

If you were cynical, you'd suggest that's because they were planning to recall Mackay, regardless.

22 tackles is insane.

The lack of reward given to Wilson is disgraceful.

Have you actually watched Wilson play? I feel like you haven’t given you continually bang on about him. His stats look great, but he’s not an outside mid and he’s well behind our inside mids. Should look elsewhere if he wants an afl career.

 

[BACCS]

Nope. It's an indictment to the club that someone as poor of a player as Mackay got past 80 games, let alone 200.

Sure he cracks in but has been a battler from the get go, in a position you cannot afford battlers

He hasn’t been a battler from the get go, that’s just rewriting history.

 

[BACCS]

I don't agree with this, at all; performance must be rewarded.

If the SANFL is the only vehicle for a player to push for selection, then it must be respected and taken into account.

If he was an outside mid he would’ve been playing regular footy by now. You really do get weird obsessions with depth players.

Was great in that semi in 2009

Blighty strolls into the club grabs the two cups out of the cabinet and carries them to Pykes office to find campo sitting opposite Pyke telling him all about the boys bbq he's arranged.
Blighty then puts both cups on the desk, tells campo to go fetch, looks at Pyke and says look son we need a chat....

 

[Apsaalooke]

BUT

... say what, now??


It did my head in.

A bit complex for you. I’ll keep it simple next time

 

[Cap]

On another note, how good is it listening to Mick Godden.

Future AFL head coach.

I didn't say that. You said that. All indicators point to his body being cooked. I am asking you to explain the thinking behind your opinion. Your opinion is that Douglas is far from cooked. How is Douglas far from cooked? How is Douglas not cooked? What makes you think Douglas isn't cooked and why? What aspects of his performance suggest he isn't cooked?

 

[marty36]

There is no form to find. Douglas' body is cooked.

Yes, I said he is cooked, I explained why he is cooked.
You said he is 'far from cooked' which means he is not yet cooked, as in he is not cooked.
I asked you to explain what makes you think that Douglas' body is not cooked.

Far from cooked, as in you are saying he is not yet cooked, as in, not cooked.

So I again ask you, to explain why YOU think that DOUGLAS IS NOT COOKED?

I haven't listened to it yet, so I dunno if you're being sarcastic or not.

 

[Elite Crow]

I haven't listened to it yet, so I dunno if you're being sarcastic or not.

He speaks a lot better than Hart, so that’s a start.

He speaks well but that’s a big leap to say he will be a head coach.

 

[hey shorty]

"He tries really hard."

That should not be the justification for selection; especially for 200+ game player.

We know what we get from Dave. I reckon he'll be OK tomorrow night.

Doesn't justify his selection at all, but we will get one of those rare good ones.

I’m not Marty, but I would like to try and answer that:
- Dougie has come back from a lengthy injury; often lengthy injuries take a few weeks to regather the form prior to injury
- the fact that he keeps being selected means either of 2 things:
1. Dougie is cooked and the coaches are blind/dumb/drunk
2. Dougie is not yet cooked

I’m guessing this Showdown will let us know how cooked he really is.

This is starting to sound like a bitch fight on My Kitchen Rules.

The R rated version where it involves cannibals cooking up Dougie.

He is cooked.

The club has plenty of form in picking established, cooked players simply because they are experienced.

No improvement at all in 3 successive AFL games which included a bye, following an SANFL game where he had 30 touches. He is not fast enough to get from contest to contest whether it is quarter 1 or quarter 4. Cooked. He isn't magically going to become faster.

Nevermind that his performance now is exactly the same as his performance in round 1 prior to going down with injury, and the form line he was showing in the later stages of 2018.

marty36 is talking about finding his posting form, but is he actually cooked, particularly after all of those workouts...

I don't think sniffing glue counts as a workout.
