Preview Changes: R9 2019 v Brisbane

[hey shorty]

I said he had an ability to run both ways and was harder at it that seedsman

Are you disputing that, pretty sure he wasn't known for his hardness at Collingwood

I'm definitely disputing that, and in no way am I disputing DMacs toughness

 

[hey shorty]

Why manage him unless he has an injury?

Because he's been crook for 2 weeks, hasn't been in great touch, is nearly 33 and a trip to Brisbane is energy sapping.

Agree he can freshen up and come back for Indigenous round where he’ll play a blinder

By the eye test I would say we are mainly generating scores from the stoppages/turnover more then the slingshot from defense.

The fast rebound footy of 2017 seems to be a thing of the past.

It is gone.

Which is why Jenkins is struggling.

Offensively seeds is fsr more damaging but mackays ability to run and run hard into defence is far greater than seeds

And nackay is tougher or harder at the conest especially the defensive one

I reckon the coaches would encourage him told hold the ball and take people on because he is a natural at it.

I used to be a Rat fan, until I saw clearly how contact-averse he is. You cannot play AFL football well without bumping/tackling oppo players. It's like a pie with sauce. The sauce is not the whole meal, but the pie's not complete without it.
At one stage in the 2nd quarter vs PA, relative to your quote, he had the ball in the clear between the HB flank and wing, grandstand side. Under no pressure. He held the ball, ran, looked, did not bounce although he had clear air, picked his target, and ...
... kicked it smack out on the full, well wide. *slaps forehead*
Clangers like that, eg when he kicks directly to an oppo defender are effort-drainers, momentum-breakers.
Every now and then he bobs up and kicks a bullet goal on that terrific left leg, but I won't mind if he's dropped.
Yeah, I know, won't happen.

Rat is an interesting one. He actually thrives on body contact offensively. His greatest asset is his ability to draw players to him, absorb the contact then dispose of the ball to a free player. He’s also an outside offensive player so his lack of tackling doesn’t really bother me to be honest. He plays to his strengths

 

[Jaeger]

Chayce a chance to return this week or soon?

 

[CrowinNT]

I’m interested in who we take as the actual emergency to Brisbane.
SANFL coming off a bye
Guys that need games into them
Those returning from injury need match practice
Interesting when you think about it
I’d take Wilson or Ned up

 

[Elite Crow]

If Matt is out which is likely as it’s now a small tear rather than just a corkie, why don’t we play Pohokle as a mid and see what he can do in the role he kills it in?

I’m guessing:

Out Galluci and Matt
In Gibbs and Pohokle

Should be Gallucci imo.

 

[CrowinNT]

Should be Gallucci imo.

He will still be selected for the match I think

 

[Houston]

Toss up between him and McHenry on form if we need a half forward. Throw in Poholke though as our match committee seem to view him as AFL ready.

I did ask the question re Poholke
They will go Gibbs in for MCrouch

 

[CrowinNT]

Fingers crossed people that we will announce Eddie Betts managed
Let him savage Indigenous round

 

[GROTTO]

Its that special time of the week, less than 20minutes to go.

 

[GROTTO]

 

[40porpoise]

Jones for knight. Interesting. No Gibbs

 

[GROTTO]

 

[hey shorty]

Suspect Crouch won't play and Gibbs will come in, but mildly surprised and somewhat happy he wasn't the first picked.

 

[pjcrows]

Boom! Jones for Knight.

 

[hey shorty]

Jones in for Matt

Incorrect

 

[Scorpus]

Incorrect

Whoops misread it

 

[hey shorty]

Jones looked a class above SANFL level against Norwood.

 

[Scorpus]

Good to see Knight dropped. He's done nothing this year
