Preview Changes: R3 vs Gold Coast

[CrowinNT]

I don’t know where to put this but our Air Con man is a Port Supporter
If you have followed my posts over the years when he comes I drag a Crow bar sign out and memorabilia over what he needs to attend
It’s all in good niggles
Today Hahahaha

 

[hey shorty]

Good changes however I have ruled a line through Davis. Just not up to AFL standard.

Whhaaaaaa

 

[BACCS]

Just heard Nicks on MMM, seems very adamant that senior players will be moved aside after efforts like those seen on the weekend. Don’t remember hearing that in the time Campo was at the club.

He said it, now he has to do it

Let's see if he can back up his words.
Players like Seedsman, Atkins and Smith should be nervous this week.

Smith we need to come good so I would be keeping him in, the first two for sure though.

That's two bad weeks in a row for Brodie. And not just bad, some of the worst footy he has played for us.
Strike 3 and he's out for me.

Fair call. Roo did mention McPherson this morning as someone who is close and will play games this year, could be a potential replacement for Smithy if his form doesn’t pick up.

 

[BACCS]

Agree,but smiths last crack

There was a kick I50 for Crouch’s goal that was an absolute dart. Need a lot more of it, but that quality ball use is something we badly lack without him.

Coincides with him going to the midfield. Either needs more time there to adjust or its off to HBF for you Smithers. Would suck because we really need him in the guts playing well.

Experiment over. Brodie simply isn't going to learn how to be a midfielder at age 27 or 28.

If we are genuinely trying to make a mid out of him, may need to start there to find the footy then work him into the mid

He played a lot of midfield minutes towards the end of last year and went pretty well. He has got the fitness for it, I just don’t think we are persisting with him in there long enough. Start him in the guts with Sloane and Brad and see how that goes.

My preference as well, seems strange to try and make a mid out of him for his final years when there are actually young mids waiting

It’s because he is our best kick and many on here were screaming for midfield minutes for him at the start of last year, which finally started happening in the back half of the season.

In theory yeah it would be ideal, but his form doesn't warrant it. If he was in form there would be no argument from me but he is taking a young guys spot who need to get to 20 plus midfield games as soon as possible as well as hurting the current team's performance.

A ten year mid to a two year mid

 

[BunjiMac]

We need to get better
Kicks into defence somehow.

Our players are so one dimensional it's like they are stuck in another era.

You can't just be a specialist in one thing.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He has lost agility and pace, meaning he's now playing like Andy Otten did in his last 4 years. His skills are in our top echelon (that's not saying much).

Agree Sloane is a 'good' mid, but nothing more. From what I've seen since he has been captain, it hasn't elevated his game at all. Ever since Sam Gibson tagged him in Tassie, his output has dropped. Needs to lift like a Captain should

Walker should be playing out of FF & the more mobile Fog CHF.

Sloane is still one of our best midfielders & calls from dropping him are a nonsense.

Gosh Kane since 2001 you have been here. This is surely going to be one of the darkest times in the Clubs history that we are embarking upon? Our list is a dead set worry.

We are going to get regular bashings both on and off the ground too.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Smith the highlight for me. Absolutely disgraceful.

Needs the heat put on him.

I would throw him in the middle this week - & give him more responsibility - perform or you will be dropped

We are in rebuild mode so I was expecting losses... but also expecting effort... which was piss poor.

If we don't get a response this week, there should be mass changes.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Atkins needs a rest. A rest off our list.

Cornes showed footage of him on channel 7 news tonight just jogging after Dursma, who ended up walking into goal unchallenged.

Players need to be accountable & give their all. If you are just going to jog after your opponent, you can jog off our list.

The heat should be squarely on the senior players, stand up and carry the kids or

I am not fussed if he jogs off our list.
