Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs West Coast Eagles + pre-match discussion

[arsesmart]

All I can say is we seem to lose the games we expect the win and win the ones we expect to lose. Lol. Just like the Melbourne game last year.

We just need more money to be put on West coast so they become favourites on Sportsbet and then we win !

We're the hunted in those scenarios and the underdog teams are much more willing to adopt a strategy focused on disrupting ours. Whereas better teams will back in their own gamelan and leave us to ours.

We're probably at an in between moment in our evolution. We are successful enough to be studied, but not mature enough to consistently push back against the specifically targetted pressure.

Unfortunately we're very easy to plan against (you don't even need great cattle just a good plan)

interesting , How would you assess last weeks Brisbane to week 1 and week 3 Brisbane?
Week 1 Port with week 2 Port ?
Week 1 Melbourne with week 2 Melbourne?
This season has not taken shape yet there are some sides already on two wins that will not win 10 games this year and some on zero wins that will surpass those teams .
This year more than ever is a long one 23 games this year compared to the normal 22 .
I prefer to make my assessment after 10 rounds have been played .

I like to make my assessment based on both current and historical data.

But let me ask you this, where does our improvement come from that gets us into the 8 this year?

I know what needs to happen, but based on historical data, I'm 99% positive that if it does happen, it will be too late.

LOL...Yeah, quit basking in ancient glories Geelong. Sack Chris Scott!

What are you a goldfish? It was literally 3-4 games ago.

LOL, sorry mate. I've got about 5 different conversations going on at once here and I've genuinely forgotten what were we talking about?

Sh*t the irony. Maybe I am a goldfish.

Well that was my question. What were you replying to? Didn't seem to follow all that well.

Just watched Jlos presser.

Geez the bloke looks broken. Pressure is on him big time. Very obvious.

Maybe. That's the million dollar question they'll be asking. No doubt adjustments are needed though.

If he looks broken after two games, he's in the wrong game.

I hope he has a lot more stoicism than his external persona projects.

He seemed fine to me. He’s not as fidgety as Simmo when he’s not talking.

Broken??

That's a fair bit of hyperbole mate.

Nervous yes but he's always a nervy media performer.

Well he's never comfortable in the presser.

Simmo looks like he's been at Metros for 3 nights straight.

Coaching is a tough gig.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

And here I am watching it thinking he's actually gotten better in pressers and doesnt look stressed much at all haha

 

[Hamann188]

Well that was my question. What were you replying to? Didn't seem to follow all that well.

Yep, might leave this one alone. Sorry mate. I might have got mixed up. My fault.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Everyone should take note by the way that Johnson is the sub as an inside mid and JL is looking to "change up the midfield mix"

Looks like he woke up at the beach sunburnt after those three nights

 

[Quazar]

Wowee did not expect Matty Johnson in! Exciting.

Also we need to come up with a nickname for him, his name is so bland.

the Mattilator....instead of..............mutilator







I'll see msyelf out

 

[mattis117]

Seriously, why are we so bloody conservative at the selection table?
Johnson should have been sub round 1 and built from there.

Seriously, why is everyone so impatient?!!

Jackson to the middle for three quarters, replaced by the slightly smaller Johnson thereafter.

There is certainly going to be a bit talk about when this final team drops today, the midfield plan is going to be a point of discussion

 

[Glaucus]

JL saying we're going to change up the midfield mix, and get a few more bodies through there

That would be marvellous

 

[freoextra]

Great decision, get O'Driscoll and Walker in as well and we're happy.

Why Walker if we are playing Wilson?

I finally get what I want, it will be good for everyone.

Do you work for the West Australian? That's the worst take I've seen on here for a while.

In the guts: JL forecasts big midfield move for under-fire recruit

Former Demon Luke Jackson and small forward Sam Switkowski are set to be thrust into the midfield mix this week
