Roast Changes: R6 vs West Coast, 2020 - What the * are we doing?

[Cap]

Bullshit. You said "not comparable in any way". I pointed out a way in which we were. Perhaps you should take your own inane reading and comprehension advice.

Lol, you just quoted me pointing acknowledging that point about comparable to.

I went back over last week and Poholke is bloody unlucky I reckon. He was barely played in the centre, his referred position but did drift forward where he is effective.

For those calling him out as being not AFL standard, how is it that Matt Crouch is still in the side? Poholke is better overhead, moves through traffic pretty well and has now got a better capacity to get the ball moving. Importantly, I don't see him kicking high ineffective kicks across his body and he doesn't handball to the guy next to him to simply move the ball.

I actually can't see why people dismiss him. I would have played him in the centre this week and dropped Matt Crouch.

I don't get it

Yeah nah

Yeah nah

Maybe I'll stick to Gifs

So 0-5 in our first season of a rebuild in 20 years gets you to that conclusion?

No, but collapsing from a grand finalist to 0-5 with a percentage of 51% in 3 years does.

100%

Poholke has been served a s**t sandwich by this club. Dropping Matt for a week was just tokenism and ignores the fact that the only time our midfield has looked halfway functional is when he wasn't in it. I find that selection (Matt over Myles) worse than DMack in tbh.

Yeah you should. The less words you type, the more sense you make

I think Sloane is much better on the outside. Ball use is good and runs all day.

Selection is a mixed bag. On the one hand Mackay in 2020. Jesus christ wtf? Then again I'm happy to see Stengle, McAsey and the mythical unicorn McPherson.

We haven't won a flag in that time, which is directly comparable to those clubs.

And them finishing bottom 4 in multiple occasion in that time which is directly comparable as well, imagine the supporters going through those periods which we are now finally feeling after 30 years.

Anyone else feel like we are about to see a 2 hour class on ‘Not Poking Sleeping Giants’ given by Professor Naitanui?

When you do your quick dictionary search on a term, just double check what you are looking up had relevance to what your responding too.

You might find I've already noted above that I'd ceded the point about comparing too, it was the limiting it to teams 'because we hadn't won a flag' that I disagreed with, its trying to create strength in an argument that isn't there (or creating a fallacy ) to any reasonable or objective person.

Now, since I've managed to provide you with the final instalment of this discussion, I'll get back to gifs.

You advanced an argument that 'we are directly comparable to all clubs', i.e. that we belong to a broader group, not the confined group.

There's no fallacy in saying that clubs without premierships are comparable in being without success. They are being ranked, and grouped, according to the only metric that matters.

Nicks saying Sloane is going back inside, I guess that's why we dropped Poholke for Mackay. We've lost all sense if we go back to the Sloane/Crouch trio again, especially since Keays is starting to grow in the midfield role over the last two weeks while Sloane has been outside the contest more. Sounds like Lynch might play deeper forward as well with Tex out.

I’m hoping that means Matt is getting dropped, only attended 8 centre bounces yesterday, the least of any of our main mids. Less than 70% game time too.
