Preview Changes: R3 vs Fremantle

[George Kramer]

Yes because all of the club's fantastic adjustments has brought so many premierships.

All those ambassadorships they’ve handed out are trying to make us forget

 

[1970crow]

I can’t believe the club haven’t implemented all these fantastic adjustments to the game plan outlined on BF for 2 decades

2 decades, sounds a familiar length of time.

It’s amazing the lack of awareness to post such drivel

 

[1970crow]

Borlase did nothing wrong against the Suns, hardly a surprise he’s first to come in. He’s on the list as a direct replacement for Butts in case of injury.

Geez it’d be great having expectations as low as yours.

Dawson has been one of our worst culprits of bombing long this season and Crouch has actually been showing some poise with his entries, so other than Laird, where have they got the mix wrong? Soligo, Rankine, Rachele and Pedlar have all been fairly frequent attendees of centre bounces and midfield rotations, but also didn't cover themselves in glory with a few of their entries inside 50 against Geelong.

They haven’t been frequent attendees at all this year. These are the stats.

Tex has always been defensive like that, he just loves the club and will defend it until he dies. That's why I thought fans love him.

No one cares if he has a crack at Kane Cornes, so why is David King any different? They are both just SEN clickbait merchants

What are your thoughts about Leigh Montagna and Jimmy Bartel who are offering similar comments?

 

[Afcprophet]

Jackson is going to have an absolute field day against us

Well that's cool, but they only asked Tex about the David King version so not really relevant to the discussion

Good spread in round one, looks like they reverted to type in round two unfortunately. Lets see what happens over the next few rounds.

 

[LoBu]

If we don't bring in Curtin ....

I'd prefer to see Curtin not debut against the club he supports and spent last year training with, in his home state.

Better to bond with the Adelaide players and crowd first.

Jackson is going to have an absolute field day against us

Hardly a shock, he's been very good in his 2 games so far

 

[George Kramer]

And Mark Bickley and Steven Rowe and Campo and ……. And ……

 

[LoBu]

So... will we fall well behind before a late rally sees us fall just short?

Fremantle have been starting very slowly this year, but whichever way we go it's rare we sustain for a whole match

Ah yes, the Tom Stewart argument.

Hot take: Good teams negate good players.

 

[George Kramer]

You said Kings comments were for clicks and yet when those same criticisms are being echoed through the industry, it’s “cool doesn’t matter”

Are you friggin serious? Mate your shift must be over, you’re delirious

And Mark Bickley and Steven Rowe and Campo and ……. And ……

It's kinda of funny that Mark Bickley was on the Crows Show last week and his #1 point on beating Geelong was to make sure Tom Stewart had a man on him.

So the club is producing content that our coaches apparently disagree with.

We did have a man on him, Pedlar, and it didn't work. Can accuse them of using the wrong player, but they literally started the game with a man on him.

It wasn’t a hard tag and it stopped after one quarter. You know you don’t need to defend every club decision right?

So their motto is "If at first you don't succeed give up"?

From memory Borlase was thrown into the deep end having to take care of King/Casboult and did a reasonable job...also from dodgy memory... but I clearly remember he looked gassed coming to the end of each qtr.

For the players we have, I think Borlase is a sensible choice for this game.

He looked gassed 2mins into the game.

We're conceding a loose player across half back?

Bold of us to go with last week's game plan

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If we've been building something the last few years and if Nicks is the right guy, the players will respond after a sluggish couple of weeks.

That's a terrible take
