Preview Changes: R8 vs Essendon

[Scorpus]

It all starts at the top. Wouldn't be surprised if Chapman, Roo and Fagan have directed Nicks to win and directed him to increase the experience in the team.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Compare this to Port dropping Westhoff for 1-gamer Georgiadis while sitting top of the ladder... FMD.

 

[pjcrows]

Not sure what the fuss is about. They're clearly backing in the boys.

 

[croweater 41]

That would be absolute sh*te

I know and I’m fully expecting it to happen.

 

[Tarasque36]

Horrible.

Looks like we are angling to replace McHenry and McPherson with Atkins and Murphy

They'd be mad to drop McPherson in this rebuilding year.
Exchange for Kelly, and it's probably the best realistic options from that bench.

 

[Crow till I die]

IN: Murphy, Gibbs, Atkins, Himmelberg
OUT: Nil

Great to see the club are thinking farewell games infront of a crowd..maybe the last crowd for the year..kudos

 

[Golumless]

So the best I can hope for is either no changes (yuck) or... Atkins for Kelly?

Christ

Other one - Atkins for Mackay.

Players or crowd farewell?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Looks at the extended squad for this week...

 

[Murray2503]

Best case scenario in the sh*t sandwich that it is:
Hartigan for Himmelberg. Berg plays back McAsey goes back when RoB rests.
Atkins for McKay. I mean totally vanilla and uninspiring


What I see happening and most likely
Hamill Mchenry McAsey out
Murphey Atkins Berg in.

Gibbs will be in. They have been spruiking him lately.

 

[Scorpus]

You can just see our lack of plan in these selections

R1 - Walker, Fogarty and Frampton
R2 - Walker and Fogarty
R3 - Walker and Fogarty
R4 - Walker, Frampton and Himmelberg
R5 - Walker and Frampton
R6 - Frampton and McAsey
R7 - Walker and McAsey
R8 - Walker and Hartigan

Could the coaches be any more ****ing clueless?

 

[Scorpus]

Other one - Atkins for Mackay.

Mackay is on the field. The changes will come from the bench

 

[thebirdman 24]

****ing jesus. Matt named as rover, Hartigan here to stay, Mackay irreplacable.

we are such a bad club

What are Fagan and Chapman’s emails? This is the first time I’ve been furious enough to actually bother emailing the club about it. I’m not going to stand for this shit and if things don’t change I will never be able to look at the club the same anymore.

 

[SaltPeter]

I thought Nicks had turned a corner with selections, but these have been getting progressively worse for the last 3 weeks now. I think that’s the entire senior brigade in the extended squad outside of Sloane now, awesome.

I think with the fixture in the coming weeks makes it inevitable that there will be players making appearances we'd rather not see get a game

 

[hey shorty]

Worst.

Changes.

Ever.

 

[Cap]

Seems like we're determined to go 0-17 and are trying our damndest to tank. Or we are a stupid and panicked mess right now.

We cannot get to seasons end quick enough.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Selection started fairly promising. No Mackay, Hartigan on the outer, Gibbs dropped, dropping Matt. Then ****ing Ben Hart returns and its all hacks back on deck. What a joke. Gonna be much longer than a 4 year rebuild at this rate.

Keays our best mid all season and is starting on the bench with Matt on the field

You should ask them for the names of the people that decide selection, not just "the coaching team", the actual individuals that decide who is in or out.

Fairly responsive too. Keep it civil and he replies.

This club is looking more and more like its being lead by crayfish

Stop being realistic

Just because they're named there doesn't mean they will play there. Highly likely that we go in unchanged this week.
