Preview Changes: R16 vs Brisbane Bullets

[MrBarry]

Murray is 20 years old FFS. Frampton only 24

I'm ALL for playing younger players. But not on young players who do not have the tools for AFL success.

I think we are wasting games on those 2, particularly Frampton (24 isnt 'young'). I'd be slotting a Worrel or a McAsey in ahead of Murray - who both clearly have more ability.

 

[conVINCEd]

So as a result of delayed surgery, Sloaneys finger will never get back to 100%.

This is just wrong. For rebuilding team that would benefit long term from having a younger player take his spot. Yuck.

 

[WeedsMullet84]

Frampton deserves another crack, has been killing it in the SANFL. Fogarty needed a kick up the ass and Frampton gone back and performed which is more than Berg has done.

MacAdam has been crap, really hope we see Sloane forward more to give Berry and Pedlar some time in the middle.

The Grey brigade of this page won't be happy with those Fog comments, mate!

 

[Red mist]

Makes no sense. He's happy to risk not being able to use his finger properly in the future so he can lead us to 15th. It's ridiculous. The club shouldn't allow this stupidity.

You never played with two fingers strapped? Minimal discomfort and you get an actions first guy to lead.

 

[cmndstab]

I hope that Frampton's inclusion is designed to give Fog a kick up the ass, rather than an earnest expectation that Frampton will ever produce worthwhile performances.

Good to see Pedlar!

 

[Brett Cummings]

frampton is trash. a complete waste of time.

 

[LoBu]

Good selections, pretty much as best as we could hope for, Frampton pressure on Fogarty is a good thing, he adds intensity as well.

Pedlar - very exciting!!

I wouldn't say clearly....

Frampton is such a hack it isnt funny. I couldn't care less how well he does in the SANFL.

And ofc we protect Brown and Mackay after stinkers and drop younger players. Typical AFC don't change.

Can't wait to see Pedlar and Berry playing together. They were a good pair in the pre-season - made us look a lot tougher around the ball. Pedlar has got good breakaway pace at the contest as well which is something we have been desperately lacking. Reckon he will be in the team for the most part from here on out.

 

[Brett Cummings]

I wouldn't say clearly....

mcasey would wanna have more ability for a pick 6 lol.

 

[Scorpus]

AFC: but he tries so hard at training.

Who the fu** cares. Performance rated industry not who tries the hardest.

I could be the least talented at my job and no amount of trying is going to bridge the gap completely.

Effort awards are for primary school, not professional sports

Good to see Murray play. I think I might be one of the few who thinks he has a future. Attacks the contest with gusto and can spoil well and mark in contested situations. Is not slow.

Agreed. He's a bit rough around the edges, but what do you expect, it's his first year after having been plucked out of obscurity in the preseason. Good sized body, decent pace and agility, and seems to have a great mentality. I certainly haven't put a line through him yet.

Frampton on the other hand, I've given up on. Don't see any real benefit to him being there.

 

[Brett Cummings]

keays is a good example of effort but just doesnt have it. wont be there after we draft mids and our next flag assault.

 

[UcantCme]

I woukd have kept Hamill to either start on Charlie, or as a plan B

"I want to help these kids out as much as I can". Sometimes that is best achieved by them getting experience in the role that you're presently failing at.

so you don't subscribe to the give them 50 games and see theory?

 

[UcantCme]

Pedlar and Berry in the same side

Do they show the nous though.
Murray had a time at the GWS academy which has obviously given him more progress to fill the spot than the other two right now. They may overtake him eventually but right now is the question.

Now thats a load of rubbish.

Keays is a really good player.

 

[bigman]

All outs well deserved love the inclusion of pedlar. He has star qualities. He lacks a big tank at this stage. But with Berry shoenberg and him in the team we are getting a very exciting midfield for the future

 

[Brett Cummings]

no he's not.

 

[MrBarry]

no he's not.

If you don't think Keays can play, then your knowledge on the sport is limited.

Meh. He has it. For us now. Later, whatever.
