Preview Changes: R4 vs Brisbane

[cleanhands]

Tbh any combination of a team from our list is not going to win this week but I would at least be playing a team that will be on the park together next year. The more games they play together the quicker they will gel. If the team is being picked for defeat margin minimisation we have a problem.

One would hope that is the thoughts of our selection panel by years end

 

[Mutineer]

The best thing they can do to help Tex at the moment is putting him on a personalised fitness program, and getting him to drop 5kg.

The way he's moving maybe a couple of pints of Geripep pre-match might be the go...

Can we really trust a Channel 9 journalist on twitter though??
Unless the club has asked him to post just to see the reaction so they can then make a decision

Its in his Friday presser as well.

But I admire your cynisim

 

[Cap]

Walker in, McAdam in and another Tall in.

I wonder if there are more than 2?

Does this help with the blue pill

Hmmm surprised Tex is in, must be right on the edge though if he’s named on the bench to start. Only other big name from that bench would be Matt, and if Gibbs can get dropped last year with 22 touches and 2 goals, Matt with his 22 touches, no goals and no impact probably can too.

Haha fu**in experts in here

You know its just a drip.

[CrowinNT]

I have said post the Gold Coast game that two players should be dropped as a start and that Is Tex and Matt Crouch
I will stick by that

I had a buy in for a significant while now that how can you judge Tex he gets the main defender, it’s the delivery, the ball never gets down there bla bla

Tex is done I love him and his football brain but that’s about all he has now and it’s the sad truth.

[Golumless]

In: McAdam, Frampton, Poholke
Out: M. Crouch, Seedsman, Atkins

Not bad.

 

[Scorpus]

We finally drop one of the Crouch brothers!

 

[mattymac]

Crouch out is good news.

Gibbs not in is good news.

McAdam to debut is good news.

 

[NSWCROW]

WHAT THE ****

 

[Smoooothy]

I can't believe we pulled the trigger like that!

 

[jackster83]

Would have liked either Sholl or Davis in for one of Walker/Lynch but overall it's not bad. Seed and Matt both had it coming after their last fortnight.

 

[Glenno23]

BANG

That's better by the selection committee!

Other's are now on notice. Ya love to see a statement made

Now more of it please! If we dish u the same tripe as last week (i.e. un-competitive) i expect it again

 

[Vader]

Just. Like. THAT!

 

[Danger Zone]

Feel like they mostly got it right, but needed to drop one of Lynch or Tex unless they are planning to use them differently.

Are there Brions playing 2 ruck men?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Crouch out is good news.

Gibbs not in is good news.

McAdam to debut is good news.

Agree..

Also like that hartigan hasnt come in either..

And like frampton over berg.. sorry berg and all those here that like the lad.. i think he’s a good kid that tries hard.. IMO I just dont think he’s gonna make it im afraid..

Wouldve like to see murphy out but I guess he’s warming stengles position at the moment.. there’s absolutely no other plausable reason that justifies him staying in the side..

That's likely the excuse they're using, but even outside of that he's being pushed out of contests way too easily, which is a sign to me he's not really mentally with it anymore. Not even physically, he's a big guy and he's getting pushed around and outmarked constantly.

They're playing Archie Smith and Oscar McInerney
