Preview Changes: Round 17 v Melbourne

[marty36]

Clearly the later. Gibbs was not worth the asking price. We would have no trade leverage for ten years if we gave Carlton what they wanted.

Yes let's not give away two late first picks and stop us from being competitive for the next 10 years

The mistakes have been made by 2 seperate groups, not getting Gibbs is on Reid and Roo, keeping Thommo is on Reid and Roo, playing Thommo and not playing Wigg is on Pyke. We can't change Reid's and Roos mistakes now, but Pyke can change, there are no signs that he has or will though.

I think playing Thommo over Wigg is one minor minor issue

Roo made the ultimate call and made the wrong one

Apart from Atkins, i can't recall many players who spudded it up in the SANFL and turned out ok.

The question is why did we bother resigning Wigg?

Because we didn't even use our full list anyway

Come finals time and the only mids we've played is Thommo and Galluci for one game, it could be a very big problem.

 

[Deaneus!]

You learn from your mistakes you needed to find out if he had anything left

Pffft. Because last year gave us no indication.

Nahhhhh... it's not like we did exactly the same thing as last year before we get knocked out

 

[Scorpus]

Come on name them so I can ridicule you

The question is why did we bother resigning Wigg?

Because he's a highly rated youngster who has performed very well at SANFL level over a number of years.

Or did you mean, why bother resigning him if we weren't going to play him?

It truly is mind blowing that we get him to re-sign for a year and then repeat the treatment of him and then you get insulting comments like Birdbrains.

Lyons all over again.

Beg him to stay, promise opportunities... ignore him.

 

[mistylake]

Why does it matter how old they are?

And why do you have such a hard-on for players we dont have?

I believe Marty loves this more than anything else.

Said it before our top 25 is good enough after that we are shite not because they may not become good players they are struggling at SANFL level ffs you are hoping gooch or pohlkoke by playing them of the bench in the AFL they may miraculously become champions, they aren't up to it YET

Get the runs on the board at SANFL level first exactly what they did with Greenwood

The coaching staff no these kids aren't up to it they watch them every week whether it be at training or at SANFL

And yes Thommo was tried no wonder, would you say he has shown any ability over 300 games they were hoping he had got himself fit enough to replicate some of that

FfS we actually don't have anyone in the current team that would match Thommo at his best unfortunately that best is gone they were hoping there was half of that ability gone a 60% Thommo would destroy any young player we have. You do realise he made it to 300 games received more Brownlow votes than any Crow including roo and Macca he must have had some ability unless the entire football world has no idea but elite Crow does

Obviously not in the eyes of the coaches who train him everyday and watch him every week are you there at every game and all those sessions aswell

Again stop thinking like Vader. You don't know that as we haven't given them a go.

What were your thoughts on Kelly before the season?

Are you saying give them a go, are they home everyday playing Xbox

They train seven days a week and play every weekend under the eyes of the coaches just because you are too lazy to wAtch them

The coaches watch them every day of the year and clearly don't think they are ready

You've just gone on a meaningless rant. Throughout his career I've been a huge Thommo fan, but his career was over at the end of last year. You know I'm right there because he's played one game, had a shocker and was dropped. So in this one, yeah, the list managers, the coaches and you had no idea and I and some others here were right.

Again, try not to confuse our opinion of 2017 Thommo with the Thommo that was a legend of the club. It's you that seem to have a problem distinguishing between the two because you suffer from oldmanitis.

 

[marty36]

What the same ones that didn't know Thommo was past it? The ones you admitted make mistakes?

He showed more in the SANFL than any of the youngsters his training was obviously up to scratch

We all know his capabilities unless you've lived under a rock

It was worth a crack they did it one game it didn't cost us anything they might even try it again but I doubt it if he plays 3 or 4 SANFL and absolutely dominates

What are you on about?

I'm too lazy to watch them train 7 days a week?

And do I have to keep repeating myself to you in every post, again I give you Thommo and the mistake you admitted they made.

I see you didn't comment about Kelly. Was he in your best 22 at the start of the year?

What about Wigg?

It wasn't worth a crack, only those suffering from oldmanitis thought so. He had a shocker and embarrassed himself, is that how you wanted a legend of the club to go out?

Tredrea said he looked 90 FFS.

Interesting what Essendon unearthed when all of a sudden they had to play youngsters last year
