Preview Changes: R5 2021 vs Fremantle

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not sure how many times it has to be said that no matter how bad Frampton’s form is... its still better than Himmelberg’s current is!!.. before the himmelberg love and appreciation squad in here give up trying to convince everyone that himmelberg deserves a call up..

It isn't

Himmelberg has out-rated Frampton in our last two matches, as has our unused sub.

Frampton would improve his rating if he didn't turn up to the games at all

Agree. Both Tex and Atkins lost form after transitioning to non-lair haircuts. Took Tex a helluva time to recover, Atkins never did.....

Atkins was a reminder: Don't sport hairdos your talent can't cash

Akermanis dyed hair, fancy boots, handstands... that's ok.

Gallucci porno mo... not ok.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So true. “Bringing the ball to ground” is a polite way of saying “drops marks”

Yep, same as players praised for their second efforts

"Fumbly"

Knight and Gibbs coming back from the COVID break with bleached hair was the final nail in the coffin for their careers.

I think I see where you are going with this...

Yeah he has

His AFL Rating of zero has been higher than each of Frampton's last two games.

I'm rating higher than Frampton too and so are you.

They have both been shit. Not worried about ranking points. Bergs form should not have him in.

 

[CrowInFiji]

At what point should I be giving up hope of a RT for BF swap?

Can't help but feel like it was 2 days ago when they didn't announce it for the feel good factor.

Wtf Waahdelaide?!?!

 

[CrowBloke]

That is why I said "There would be reasons why Frampton is still in the team that we are obviously not aware of".

*thinking*
So, you're saying Nicks is happy with Frampton's game, for reasons that we don't know, is that it?
BUT:

You would have to be pretty dumb to believe the coach is happy with Frampton's game.

I doubt that Nicks is happy with Frampton's last two games, for several reasons previously stated. I'd like to see Frampton dropped, but we both know it's out of our hands.
I just want them to beat Freo .

 

[CrowBloke]

Am I seeing the next chapter of the Drugs Are Bad Mackay? idea, where you can tell how a player will go by their haircut?

I'm for it, too.

*penny drops*
That's why Atkins was doomed.

 

[Golumless]

*penny drops*
That's why Atkins was doomed.

Gibbs too, his game just fell apart when he got rid of the man-bun and kept plummeting when he bleached it.

Try thinking again, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm sure you will comprehend that sooner or later.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They have both been sh*t. Not worried about ranking points. Bergs form should not have him in.

A couple of preseason games shouldn't have been enough to write off the progress of 2020.

Hamill and Schoenberg were poor in the preseason too but we picked them anyway and they are doing well.

Hopefully Thilthorpe goes past both of them asap and it's moot

 

[CrowBloke]

"Fumbly"

Depends.
There are Atkins/Mackay level second efforts *fumbly*, and there were Eddie Betts-level second and third efforts *magic*.

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

My most sincere apologies for the intrusion, and well done on the start to your season.

I was trying to get some GA tickets (for the Freo game) for 3 people this afternoon but Ticketek do not have any available?

Is this correct and that it's a sell out?
Are there hardly any GA tickets available because of 75% capacity?
Or are Ticketek playing funny buggers and there is indeed plenty of GA seats available?

Crows should/will win by 30 odd pts.

Thanks in advance and sorry for derailing the thread.

 

[Danger Zone]

Honestly, if Thilthorpe isn't ready then they should just have Fog and Hately take a couple of bounces a game. Tex can do some in the forward line too. Frampton or EH can be the medical sub if we are worried about ROB getting injured mid game.

I'd prefer we always go in with a "runner" as the medical sub rather than a tall especially with what the new rules look to be creating game style wise..

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I think I could almost cope with Billy dropping marks but I was livid when he missed that goal from 30m out in front.

Welcome mate

I don’t know a lot about it but I think your first instinct is right - there are less GA seats because of the Covid reduction of seats overall

Others may have more info. Good luck trying to get some

Yes.
Soooo good that we have Tex and Fog, by contrast.

Players that shine in the preseason generally don't when the season starts. They are generally poor players that know preseason is there only chance to stand out. Case in point Frampton. Andy McLeod couldn't really care less about preseason games.

And here I was thinking Andrew McLeod was close to best on in our 2003 Pre-season Premiership win and certainly featured prominently in the whole series?

I must have been mistaken I guess.

But no on checking I wasn't...He actually won the Michael Tuck Medal for the M.V.P. of the 2003 Pre-season series..

The Colonel Sanders is usually pretty well up on these kind of things?

Pretty sure all our games have been sell outs. This one is probably the same. Capped at 40k capacity. Good luck anyway
