Unofficial Preview Changes v GC17 - Blamires scapegoated, Insert Stiffy

[Chip Scab1]

I do not really understand some of the trade offs we make.

If the statement " we have to persist with players who will make errors" is true. Which everyone knows it is.

Then the position of the entire club should be to prioritise the playing of kids where we are unclear on the ceiling of.

We cannot remain a side that loses this often without consistently bringing in more youth.

I get that there is a balance. However the question is which storm do we want to weather?

Senior players who we know what we get and can point to years of ineptitude to prove it or younger players who will f*** up while they learn.

X was out for three weeks. We brought in CCJ only to in turn bring in Dawson as a ruck man less than a month later.

It reeks of being super reactive where we are plodding along with no real idea of what comes next we are just chucking shit at the fridge to see what sticks?

If we drop Blamires to bring in Hardeman it is basically a net neutral.

Correct. I've stood on the other side to what we're doing for a while now, i'd shut the **** up if we were winning.

But we're not which as you suggest, is not leaving us any outs... at least if we were young we could use that.

We're just old and dreck, laborious dreck.

Hardeman and Cooper for LMac and Little Helmet would be nice

 

[The Nostradamus]

Hardeman and Cooper for LMac and Little Helmet would be nice

That plus dova in for spudgo

It would be the usual drivel….

• Really rate this team
• How good is Trac, King and Rowell?
• Big Challenge for our lads
• We are building
• Taking some momentum into the bye
• We are working on how to hide Caleb Daniel in that backline and still not make him accountable out there for 4 QTRs

Keen to respond in front of our fans.

Yeah its a potent mix isn't it, they've got some really good inside/outside mids who can hurt you forward of the footy and we're just looking forward to the challenge. Ben King doesn't need many kicks to hurt you does he ha ha

I prefer Nepo babies to GC 17 when referring to this franchise

 

[Passmore]

Not specific enough. That could be GC, Syd, GWS, Bris, Collingwood, Geelong...

The best thing about this wonderful game we play is you don't get too much time to dwell on the past

[DuckYeah]

Cant wait to see one change to this team.. building a fantastic culture. Thank **** I cut my membership down.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Gee. Never miss a beat to let you down this mob.

 

[King Corey]

 

[winalotroos]

As much as I am happy to see Hardeman in the team, I am disappointed it’s at the cost of Blamires, it should have been Danials, if anyone

 

[DuckYeah]

Seriously, this club, coach and selection committee can go **** themselves

 

[nicko74]

A team that let 13 unanswered goals through has only 1 change..... diabolical

 

[Reginald0]

Actions speak louder than words is all that can be said at the moment
Expecting a serious change of intent from this crew

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Sleepy Al strikes again.

Bad luck Tom.

The 13 straight goals were your fault.

 

[RHLK]

Horror smashed, and only one change?

 

[Only Forwards]

f***ing lol.

What a waste of f***ing time.

 

[Flawed Genius]

[grinning] Yeah Dimma gets a bit fired up, he's a real competitor [suddenly serious] but we're just focused on our own backyard and on what we need to do to be a really sussesssful footy side

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

f***ing lol.

What a waste of f***ing time.

Zero selection integrity.

Place is a shitshow.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Sleepy Al strikes again.

Bad luck Tom.

The 13 straight goals were your fault.

He has no idea.

So if the side doesn't need changes Al, last week's dismal showing must have been all game plan, right?

Show yourself out Clarko. This is just getting beyond a joke.

 

[shinboner magic]

And you never hear a reporter questioning this shit.

Pressers now are a lovefest

 

[wells2deep]
