Preview Changes: R19 v Carlton

[Vader]

You reckon 14 gets the same amount of abuse as 13?

I've never heard 14 mentioned by any footy commentator (outside of gameday), compared to the vitriol 13 has copped from footy "journalists" and opposition supporters.

14 cops it on here but players wouldn't be reading BF, they cant escape mainstream media as easily.

That was my point... 14 cops a ridiculous amount of abuse here on BF, on par with that aimed at 13 elsewhere.

 

[WetCrow1991]

The changes will be shit.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Back them in...to a container and ship it to Syria.

 

[burge13]

People really want Fogarty in but hasn't he done very little in the SANFL? Not good signs
Himm in for Tex, Stengle in for Betts if we're doing anything
Personally I'd play Tex still this week

Anyone flying over for the game? Just a heads up essential crows barcodes get $9.50 tickets (one per barcode) for the Crows v Carlton & Collingwood v Richmond games in AFL Reserve (not AFL Reserve General admission). Bit cheaper than AO [emoji16][emoji106]

I will be in the MCC Members Reserve for the first half.

Not sure where I'll be for our second half fade-out.

14 deserves it.

13 does not.

 

[Vader]

14 deserves it.

13 does not.

A standard BF response, and complete garbage. Neither player is deserving of the vitriol directed towards them.

Numerous armchair "experts" here beg to disagree.

We can't all be wrong!

Numerous armchair experts agree that 13 should be hung, drawn, and quartered, with his body parts deposited in the Tasman, Coral, Arafura and Timor Seas. That doesn't make them right either.

Neither 13, nor 14, are deserving of the vitriol directed towards them - 13 by the MSM, 14 by BF.

The vitriol should be saved for the morons who are supposed to be coaching and selecting them. Also Burton and Hass who have broken them physically and mentally.

So I better watch the Six O'Clock News service then.

Welcome to "Melt day" guys.

Should be an interesting evening.

Oh,

Adelaide - $1.52
Carlton - $2.55

Load up..










On Carlton!

Its a classic, you can't lose.

If Adelaide win, you are happy they got the win, if Adelaide lose, you win a collect and the club goes into meltdown as well.

 

[Murray2503]

I'm starting to lose it with this team selection. This is the perfect time to "drop" Tex. They could easily palm it off as precautionary because of his elbow with no loss of pride but instead they will continue on the road to hell with this line up that is clearly going nowhere. I know Fog hasn't exactly been tearing it up in the 2's but he's the type of player I believe that would seriously step up if given the chance.
My conclusion........Pyke and the heiracy have lost the plot.

Pyke has lost sight of reality. They are so wedded to their best 22 (which is wrong by the way) thst they are willing to play an injured player over a fit high draft pick. Has been going on for years especially in 2017. Our club is the epitimy of conservative incompetence.

On these stats I am not sure. Both of them don't knock the ball out of the park.

How can we possibly compare Mackay & Tex's statistics when they play completely different positions?

If we are doing a comparison, Mackay has disappointed most of his career whilst Tex has only started recently disappointing.

 

[GreyCrow]

David Happy Birthday Mackay isn't getting dropped

 

[Freshj]

Reckon Eddie is out

 

[Tex200]

Reckon Eddie is out

That’s big news

 

[Freshj]

That’s big news

Is that sarcastic? I haven't read through the thread if this is common knowledge!

That doesn't mean they deserve the vitriol which has been directed towards them.

I wasn't directly comparing them against each other. I merely put their career averages up in one table.

My assessment is of Taylor as a KPF and Mookay as...well....whatever position he should be compared against?????
