Prediction Changes: Round 2 Vs North Melbourne + pre-match discussion

[Quazar]

A couple of things. I don't endorse or want the Banfield inclusion, but I would never have the callousness to mock or denigrate the person. He gets his opportunity and I hope for his sake he comes out firing to the hilt and has an excellent game. It's not his fault at the end of the day.

And....the game forecast will be wet?!

Just terrific if so. I've got to work in a job I now hate (shout out to the w***er that had the f***ing temerity to ask me if I have a job or life, I'm sure you're the pinnacle of excitement; the embodiment of ultimate fun), will miss the game anyway.....feel very meh about it anyway given we don't know if we're about to regress or progress. Even a win right now somehow feels tainted, wicked.

Maybe I don't have a life, coming on here and absorbing the dreary and the misery. Watching everything slide into banality.

It would be nice to take a vacation from yourself, but alas....here we are

Is this out first wet weather game since gc/pies?

Hope we show up

Going to game with a couple of North supporters. They are looking forward to congratulating Griff on his fine decision to move clubs ... please please let us win. North are more used to losing than us these days. Its only fair.

Looks in absolutely shithouse condition

Looks like a turner if it makes it past day 3

You mean the teams with an average of 120 games experience to our 85? The melbourne team with a grand total of 3 players under 50 games?

and I’m pretty sure we’d be playing Ashcroft if we Had him too.

See I disagree with this big time. I’m 100% certain that if Will Ashcroft had joined Fremantle last November he would have been playing at Peel last weekend. Absolutely convinced of that.
Out of interest, who do you think JL would have played him ahead of last weekend?
We have two first round pick midfielders in their second year that can’t get a look in under this coach.
Wilmott was excellent last night for brisbane and he’s younger than Raz and Johnson.
If he was on our list Hughes would be played ahead of him on the wing.

Has Longmuir been asked what Amiss needs to work on to get in the team? Genuinely curious

Would of thought his finals performance would’ve had him first picked out of the tall fwds.

 

[Purpletown]

If Banfield does not kick at least two goals I am running down the Bourke St Mall at midday on Sunday with nothing on except a North Melbourne codpiece.

Henry Vlll would be proud of your fashion sense.

Pretty certain it'd be what most 19yo KP players have to work on, building size, strength and experience. That's what Tabs has over him at the moment.

Hope we show up

2nd Derby last year was wet. We played better and would’ve smashed ‘‘em if not for inaccuracy

BB is a first class person.
Gives his all
Making the absolute most of his assets
I hope he has a blinder today

YOKAI!

Yep, I remember, I was there lol

Was only against wce tho

 

[royale with cheese]

Didn't realise Johnson was that good against Subi, can't wait to see him debut

Can’t see much justification for keeping him out with those stats.

Idiotic.

Well clearly it's not sinking in, or registering with them. Or maybe they just don't care, you can't seriously tell me that team they put forward last night looks like a team that will go close to playing finals, let alone winning any.

What? What the average fan thinks should never factor into things like team selection.

That's a massive chip you've got on your shoulder mate

Ras got a chance last year. He just wasn't up to it at the time. Ashcroft looks at the level already.

I think I actually hope we lose this weekend. Just to prove that this conservative approach to selection is hopeless.

I know it's cutting off the nose to spite the face, but how else will this message sink in.

It's just so frustrating. We can all see the changes that need to be made, why can't the people who's job it is to ensure success for the club see it?

I don't even care about getting the 4 points with this vanilla ass B22. "Back the boys to get it right against North" lol

Give us the L so we can finally change the puss puss method.

What this really is you'd both rather be proven right than see your team doing well and being proven wrong, which is pretty childish. It's absolutely not the changes I would have made but you should always question yourself when you hope for failure.

Change av please

 

[King Huskii]

What does Johnson have to do at WAFL level to get a game? 70 disposals and 10 goals

Banners and Hughes gifted games. People call Acres a spud but Banners can't kick well either

 

[Van_Dyke]

Yep, I remember, I was there lol

Was only against wce tho

there was another game that was a bit slippery but I can’t remember which - maybe the demons home game?

 

[The Lobbster]

Change av please

Will this do?

Into the half back line, Hughes out.

Am I right in thinking that Johnson has only played 3 wafl games?
