Preview Changes v Footscray

[Proper Gander]

Weird obsession with dropping ANB. Had like 5 shots at goal and worked hard.

Tell him to kick goals or I’ll risk the fine and run on the ground to lecture him

 

[Doggy]

No, I meant ... oh never mind

Been a long weekend went straight over my head!

 

[All Aboard the Dee Train]

Can you let us win? Lol

Have you seen us this year?! We'll more than let you win...we'll roll out the red carpet, give your boys 22 front row tickets to the "MFC S**t Show" (it's a dark comedy), and hand out complimentary turnovers for the first hour.

I’m one of his bigger fans but his touch with ball in hand has been off for the past month or so. Could use a spell IMO.

 

[space_cowboy]

Hopefully not

I think what PG meant is that we’ll do our very best to accomodate you.

 

[dylan93]

Out: T. McDonald (inj), Hore (inj), Petty (inj), Lewis (susp).

In: Gawn, Jordon, Bedford, Baker.

 

[mattwa]

Is Gawn a 100% in this week? Him and Pruess are your huge advantage against our ruck division...

 

[demondavey]

Lewis probably will be suspended. Lever for hore if jetta for petty. Who replaces TMAC?

Is Bull Smith still injured?

We might beat you in the ruck but your mid sized HB and HF line will engulf us. No way we can stop you. On your way to the 8 I’d say.

 

[demondavey]

Out: McDonald, Hore, Lewis, Petty
In: Gawn (hopefully), Baker, Lever, Jetta

Assuming Jetta and Lever are right.

Not making the 8

 

[Crusty Demon]

I'm a fan of Hannan but he has done absolutely nothing since returning to the side.

Been very disappointing. I'd try young Bedford instead. May as well give the kid a couple of games..

 

[demondavey]

Not making the 8

Definitely a chance mate. Definitely.

 

[Doggy]

Definitely a chance mate. Definitely.

Next year. The 3 or 4 they should have won has stopped us

His touch has been off but he's building. I don't think playing reserves will teach him anything. He's a pick and stick but he needs a defined role

Stick with him. Kid can play and is an endurance machine. He needs to be playing seniors unless he is terribly out of touch.

Why are you so opposed to players finding form in the VFL?

 

[Topkent]

Why are you so opposed to players finding form in the VFL?

Because it's not about work rate for him it's about finding touch and you can't do that if you keep being dropped after 3 games. He isn't a kid without confidence he's best 22. He will find form.
Everyone wanted Melksham and Harmes dropped last year and they worked through it.

 

[harry000]

If Lewis is suspended for that I'm cancelling my membership, my Big Footy account and hopefully somehow my memory that this sport ever existed.

Not even a fine for Lewis. Account is safe

I don't think ANB's form is the issue so much, rather he's not a particularly bright player and he has poor skills. He does try hard, though.

Edit: I still want Melksham dropped.

 

[Demon 16]

Jetta might come in for Hore.

 

[harry000]

Jetta might come in for Hore.

Doubt it, stats were low in the VFL which would indicate he didnt play much match time or just didnt get alot of it. Either way will probably need abother run in the twos.

 

[Bluelegs]

Back at our fortress. Can't wait.

 

[jhong]

Think it will be Gawn and Lever in , whether Petty is omitted will depend on his concussion and if if he is over it. Would like Nev to get some more time in VFL before bringing him in . Losing T-Mac just when he decides to regain some form pretty much sums up our year , but leaving Pruess or Max down forward or both alternating is not the worst idea i have heard this year . More worried that the dogs will suck us into a battle over the ball and kill us on the outside. They were pretty good putting the Cats away, but they also have a record of losing to teams below them . * knows how this game will go TBO

 

[Bodicifer]

You'll have some big ins this week and our results against sides below us on the ladder this year have been awful. Max always tears us one and young Timmy is only learning his craft.
