Prediction Changes v Crows

[Hu$tler]

Has to be Darling's last chance surely?

 

[campaigner___]

Considering the crows only know how to score goals from running out the back, and all the goals the eagles conceed are out the back...


How many do we lose by this qeek?

2 soft free kicks from the goal square and 3 rushed behinds

How about watch BT doing his tour in the rooms after the game.

In Particular Mark Hutchings was asked about Nic Nat and he said 2 weeks just before the bye or just after. If hes ready in 2 weeks from when Hutch said it then he is every chance this week.
I have stated he will play some footy before the bye then have that week off.

Now how do you get 6 weeks out of that. Do share.

But you said this week he is playing?

I got six weeks as approx. After our bye and also the shape of the tea leaves in the bottom of my mug that day.

Just a gut feel on what's reasonable.

I dont have your contacts obviously

 

[The wily weagle]

Is Brooksby fit enough to ruck almost an entire game with someone else giving him the occasional chop out?

If so, then bring him in. At this point I doubt he would offer any less then Vardy, and he has been performing well at WAFL level

 

[Keys]

Fairly strong indication that Vardy retains his spot

 

[The Passenger]

Surely Rotham gets back in this week.

He was so impressive in the two games he played and I'm really struggling to find a reason he has dropped down the pecking order so far.

 

[Keys]

Venables to miss a couple of weeks. Must really be feeling that knock

Schofield available

 

[hungrytiger]

But you said this week he is playing?

No i said i heard Whispers... Actually it was from someone close to Hutch - who actually said in the rooms to BT that he was 2 weeks away, which would be next week vs the Dogs. The whispers were that Hickey would be out and Nic Nat would play this week. So no i did not say he would...

I used the "I heard whispers"

Hey whos to say that the Docs dont tick him 2moro????

 

[hungrytiger]

I love how some people can analyse someone saying they have heard something then using that and saying i said it....

This is how Chinese Whispers start.. when it comes back its never comes back the way it started. People have a way at altering stories to suit themselves.

No worries have a listen to what Hutch said in the rooms. He said 2 weeks which would be before the bye.
But Hutch wouldnt of known the extremity of Hickeys ankle at that stage..

Neither did Travis King either.

My news came from Sunday the day after the game.

 

[flyinghi64]

Next week at home against the Dogs young ruck would be a good stepping stone back into the rigors of AFL for big NN.
This week Vards will prob get one more chance to prove himself before Nick and Hick take over.

Preach it brother.

Eh

 

[campaigner___]

Lol, Vardy has played 8 games this year and is averaging a pathetic 6 disposals, 1 marks, 18 hit-outs and has kicked 0 goals. He is offering fu*k all in the ruck, up forward or around the ground. Brooksby on the other hand in averaging 13 disposals and 34 hit-out and is a strong mark, he deserves a go.

...in the 2's

Now halve those numbers and you'll have your expected AFL outputs.

 

[hungrytiger]

I notice they arent too keen on Brooksby by the sounds of it.

Did see Simmo mention about Nic needing Drs Approval tick 1st. I did see the rest of what he said but the Drs approval who knows could be already done. Tactics are a funny thing.

Just like Hickey games last week wonder if theres a game being played right in front of our eyes.

 

[The Stid]

Cameron in the mix according to Simmo.

I don’t expect to see him this weekend but hopefully we get to see the Rioli, Ryan, Petch and Cameron show before the end of the season.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

We should not fiddle with a winning formula ( 3 wins in a row). I'd say no changes. Go in with 19 players. We'll be fine.

 

[Astro7]

Apa aja - I understand that one!

Haha, I used to be Bali-Dog a long time ago on here, been sniffing around on BF like those dogs, since 2009.
Apa kabar?

“In the mix” seems to be Simmons way of avoiding a question on selection. It’s either he won’t play because he’s injured, he’ll play or in the mix - if I had the time or inclination I’d go back and see what the strike rate is for a player in the mix to actually play. My guess is it’d be pretty low

Also I heard whispers that <redacted> is an idiot but that doesn’t mean I’m saying that he is

 

[SloppyJoe]

Today I learned that I can put "I heard whispers..." in front of anything and it completely absolves me of any responsibilty or liabilty for the words that follow.

HT must be Hackdorn.

 

[Truckosaurus]

It's pointless doing these In the Mix articles early in the week when all the clubs injury reports haven't even come out.

They do their previews too early as well. Last week's Sydney v North one was all about the difference Franklin's return would make.

Oh my god it's becoming self-aware!

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'm sick of simmo "Backing in Vards".

He's backed in Vards all year and he still hasn't improved. Absolute blind faith in a player who has been horribly out of form since round 1.

Wouldn't bat an eyelid over Vardy being dropped for an untried Brooksby this week, that's how bad he's been going.



Nicnat's return can't come soon enough.
