Changes v Brisbane

[Footskill]

Sometimes these things happen because the observer expects them to happen

Quantumn physics and the observer effect?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Seems like he is damn if you do and damn if you don't

In the Hawks game he didn't get the ball out of bounds and was crucified. Umps are red hot on deliberate.

He tries to tap it clear, with two port players hanging off him in the port game and still gets crucified. Maybe someone should also jumped in to try to lock it in, or was he better tapping inside rather than boundary lol

If you pick the ball up, you either get tackled straight away or you get away a kick or handball.

If you can't navigate these scenarios, then you are better of getting replaced by someone who can.

Something like that. I’ve no doubt that a player can feel the expectation from the crowd that he could **** up at any minute and it can affect his decision making.

Yeh sure thing. Means no player ever gets caught htb lol

In that instance he didn't pick up the ball knowing he'd be tackled but played it in front of him before tapping it out

 

[Purple Suit]

Simpson was really exciting, the challenge is can he get to that level after a long term injury quickly and can he hold up when the pressure is ramped right up.

If the answer to the first is yes then you probably take the risk, but if there's doubts on it then I can understand how he may not get back in the team this year.

Doesn't mean he isn't a great prospect, and he should be training at half back across the pre-season.

I think he's run out of time baring injury to force his way back in, unless we have more who completely fold in the next 2 weeks like Worner.

Banners & Nod are on thin ice already but we have Young and Wags to come back. I remember what Walker's final series did around here and I could see the same thing happening to Simpson if he is thrusted into finals with little prep. I think I would rather stick with Banners in front of Simpson as at least his skin is thick and an embarrassing few moments in some big finals will not affect him next season.

What ever happens, I think they just need to leave Fyfe as sub. That's the only way he's going to get through the next 6 weeks and he has massive impact in the last quarter so it works. I'm sure he can play a full game if we get an injury but I wouldn't risk it unless forced.

Every team every week is scratching their head trying to figure out how to best utilise the sub role. We are lucky in that we’ve cracked the code. Fyfe as super sub is one of our points of difference and could prove crucial to our success chances.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Wagner in. Dudley out.

 

[LongSerong]

Happy with that

 

[PrancingPony]

Wagner comes in for Dudley.

 

[eastfreo75]

Banfield still in. Seriously, how many defensive and offensive errors can he get away with?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Bring back mah main man Cooper, otherwise, about as expected

 

[VolgaBoatman]

Does Fyfe start as sub again ?

 

[StingBitten]

In Banfield we (JL) trust

 

[Purple Suit]

Brisbane bringing in a bit of height to the backline and a 2nd ruck. I recon the 2 ruck combo is starting to have an impact on other teams selection, the best thing is that their 2nd ruck is usually limited in either the ruck or around the ground while our 2nd ruck is a gun unicorn.

Could be a factor in running over the top of team too.

Absolutely, as all the armchair experts (Korn) were loud in their proclamations.
Not so loud now

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Happy with Wagner in for Dudley
Brings versatility and we have enough smalls with Switta,Freddy and Bolts

 

[One_Wing]

Why aren't we playing Walker

 

[go_the_dockers]

Who plays forward?

Banfield

 

[muckypup]

Like tapping the ball directly to the boundary, 20ms out from goal?

More like pinpoint kick to Young on the 45 who drills it to Jackson for the goal that puts Fremantle in front of Collingwood. That is the difference between what did happen and what might happen.

 

[Spirit Level]

Some resell tix up get em ehile they're hot

 

[yakamoto]

Like the look of the umpiring panel. Should be giving it their best shot so close to finals. But will their best shot be good enough? They will be setting the tone for the weekend so shouldn’t see so many rediculous 50m penalties and insufficient intent penalties handed out. Bayley is still in so they will be sorely tempted.

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Why aren't we playing Walker

Because he is mud, gets caught holding the ball and is a piss poor kick

 

[yakamoto]

Walker still not in. Charlie will be licking his lips.
