Preview Changes rd 23 vs Sydney, Saturday 7pm AO.

[Kane McGoodwin]

Do Sydney really play that well at AO? We’ve barely played them here the last few seasons, so pretty hard to get a form line from that. Lost by 3 points to them in 2017 (we kicked poorly and they kicked super accurately) and then 3 points in 2020 in a game in front of no one. They’re in good form, but this is a game we should be winning based on our recent form and form at AO this year.

They have a 2-0 record against us, but close games, so they play well as 100% record.

One of those games Heeney was the difference... don't think he is the same player now.

We should win if we bring it for 4 quarters.

They dont go well against Port here but seem to like playing us, 4 times in 9 years is almost Carlton levels absence from Adelaide at AO.

Looking at their form line its Essendon by 2, Bulldogs by 2, Giants by 11 (it was 10.0 at one point!). Their good wins came against Freo in Perth and the Suns last Saturday. They are in good form, but not blistering like Carlton who have beaten 3 of the top 4 in the run of wins.

Wtf type of post is this Wayne? Are we all supposed be impressed or something by this weird leading comment?

Do too want us to ask what your profession is so we can all see how positive a person you are?

Very strange to try and link your stance on the selection of Sloane and Murphy over Pedlar and Nankervis to your role / attitude at work.

Can a cheerleader be negative?
Makes sense I guess.

The proof is not in the pudding, the proof is in the eating. Pet hate.

Language changes get over it.

Language does change, but saying the proof is in the pudding is just mucking stuff up.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

I will not get over it, you are not the boss of me.

Surely though it’s in the pudding, because you can still have a good pudding even if you don’t eat it

That's not language changing: it's just repeated errors, like Sloane.
If everyone started copying Sloane's errors would you just say that the game is changing?

Sorry, but yes I am.

Is he #22?

yes.

yes he is.

Still trying? Who said experience starts at 30?

All 3 only played due to injury or none would have had a game this year and we’d still be wondering.

Nankervis has been dropped. Sloane remains. What more do you need that Nicks favours experience over development? Murphy remains, Pedlar subbed.

Does it burn whenever someone criticises Nicks? But I would have thought this week even you would pull your head in and think fuxk.

Will generally reply and defend the club or coaches when criticism is put forward that isn’t thought through.

In this case yes those players only got games because of injury and would not have got a look in otherwise

But they weren’t sitting behind a 32 yr old Hartigan or a 33 yr old Talia - we moved those guys on.

They are behind a couple of other kids that have been rated above them in the pecking order and have played 30 games. You can’t just chop and change the kids you have put faith in otherwise you end up with all of them on 30 games and rather than some on 60

In terms of this week. I think I have agreed that the Sloane selection is frustrating and I have said I wouldn’t have resigned him. But I do have faith that the club and coaches want to win and they

The swans were on a downward trajectory due to all their injuries in the backline but they have got McArtin and a few others back. I think their threat up forward is their small/medium brigade, Papley, Hayward, Gulden, Heeney. Blakey is pretty important for them down back and creates their run. Rowbottom, Warner, Mills important in the middle. Just need to focus on Blakey and make sure their smalls don't get out of control up forward.

But you can't prove it's good until you eat it.

It's an equivalent phrase to 'don't judge a book by its cover'.

If taste is your criteria, it might smell and and look good
Like driving a car is only one part to the proof of how good a car is.

They have a 2-0 record against us, but close games, so they play well as 100% record.

One of those games Heeney was the difference... don't think he is the same player now.

We should win if we bring it for 4 quarters.

We are actually 1-3 against them at AO in 9 seasons, that one win was a cracking game in 2016 in front of 50k. Their record against Port here isn’t great.

They HAVE to keep Sloane to save face and justify his re-signing for 2024.
Ironically, it's had the reverse effect and made them look even more like total drongos.

Retaining Murphy is further proof.

Is Peds the sub? If Sloane is really stinking it up they will get him off quickly.

If a pudding sits in the forest but nobody eats it...

Thats all I have to say about that.

Well said, Forrest.

No, we beat them here in 16

 

[George Kramer]

Interesting that during the Rush hour on Monday, Jars was pretty clear on where he thought Sloane was. Vince tried to soften that stance making excuses for him but how does 13 possessions playing in the guts in a must win game in the guts not get attention?

Glad someone in the media has the balls to say it, problem is it’s only Jars.

Do you have faith that they’ve made the right decision despite wanting to win?

Did you have faith when Nicks said Nank wasn’t ready and yet when snuck in due to illness and showed he was?

Did you have faith when Nicks picked Sloane against Brisbane and how did that go?

Having blind faith in a coach and then trying to negate criticisms of the coach on a footy forum is not only wrong it’s futile, your opinions even if sometimes ok, gets lost in your cheerleading.

Same could be said of us I guess but we are far more balanced than some of you who only know one view, back Nicks. So let that sink in.

That was the game where Atkins played an absolute blinder in only his 10th or so game from memory.
