Preview Changes: R8 vs Essendon

[GrommoT]

so I should have stopped 2 drinks ago?

They're talking in bottles.

 

[marty36]

Any supporter still holding out hope for Bryce Gibbs to come good should be loaded into a rocket and shot into the sun.

Ok roo

"I like the team, but I want to ridicule and abuse some if its players"

Some supports will support everyone thru thick and thin some won't

It appears those die hard SANFL supporters do that, granted their are less but AFL barrackers have a different mindset

Murphy for McHenry then I guess.

So was I. How else do you drink Chardonnay?

Does anyone actually think we would back off selecting senior players if we got a win? Not bloody likely.

And on Murphy for Mchenry...not surprising but Murphy is the new Petrenko. We carried him through many bad years before realising he was shit. Not that I have been that inspired by Mchenry but I'd give Schoenberg a go first.

Why can't the senior players get injuries?

Where is the 5 week bone bruising for Hartigan or the season ending issue for Mackay?

Aside from Atkins and Sloane it's been all young blokes this year that desperately need game time

 

[cleanhands]

I heard someone on 5AA last night say how we should have kept Douglas on the list this year as he was still playing well last year!

They should give up drinking

 

[thebirdman 24]

You try telling Mackay or Hartigan they arent playing.

They've got it worked out. Do enough at training to get picked and then go into self preservation mode. Like the 9-5 office worker doing the bare minimum.

It's just our senior players are really good at playing with injuries, not like the soft generation of players coming through now

 

[Kezza86]

McHenry has been ruled out, possibly one more change to come...

Gibbs will not be one of the players coming in

How do you know this about Gibbs? Or is this your opinion...

Ok boomer

 

[jenny61_99]

FFS
1 week injury has managed to take what, 6 weeks now?

They don't have the same training schedule at the moment do they? That could be hampering things?

 

[Cap]

Maybe 1 change is heartening that we won't be dropping Mcpherson.

But really strange selections, I guess we do need to account for the upcoming short breaks.

 

[jenny61_99]

It has to happen

The change thread may well be a dart board

Turn the freezers on because the melts will be epic.

But we have to rotate players through and that does mean Gibbs etc will get games - its whether they continue to get games (if they provide nothing) that will be meaningful

Exactly this. There should be no epic melts given the ridiculous bloody schedule we've been handed by the VFL. Likely everybody is going to get a game over this period.

Is that why we rushed Tex back in after only one week to rest his knee?

C'mon Jen, it's painfully obvious that we're rinse and repeating what we did last year (backing the boys in) despite having a weaker playing and coaching group than in 2019.

It's desperation.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Is that ypu Roo should we tell those supporters to go away

Geez youre a ****in pest arent ya..

Are you that dumb that you can’t see that Roo wants the supporters that speak out against the horrid way he and his fellow dicks are running the club to go support someone else... thats what he meant when he made that call.

He wants to them to go support someone else because he doesnt feel he should be scrutinised by anyone..

Hes no better than a little tinpot dictator..

The moment he said that was the very moment he should’ve been marched out the front ****in door by security and told not to bother coming back.

The club needs more supporters willing to speak out, to scrutinise, to criticise... until there’s a massive groundswell against the dicks in charge the off field chaos will continue and it will be reflected in the on field performance..

The supporters that continue to not speak out and even encourage the status quo are no better than Roo and his dick mates.. are you one of them Marty?..

 

[BACCS]

Nicks said it in his presser

 

[BACCS]

We can’t get Newchurch on the list quick enough if Murphy is our next go to small forward

Like I said some supporters we will be there through thick and thin and support

Isn't there a thread about habding back your membership on this very board

Imagine if that happened in the SANFL with the die hard supporters.

Sheesh is the AFL about support I'm not sure
