Preview Changes v GWS - Round 16, 2021

[Tulip]

Rarest of things - MCG double header. Freo v Carlton starts about an hour after our game

Is our game going from 1:45 to 6:45?

 

[LeverPuller]

Is our game going from 1:45 to 6:45?

Oh strange - the initial one I saw had a 5:40 kickoff

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Looking at the fixture ahead we really can't afford to drop the games against bottom 8 sides. We by far have the toughest run home of all the sides in the 8..

People have been saying this all year and yet we’ve lost two games to bottom 8 sides and we’re still on top. I wonder why that is…

Yep. Keep winning and we'll be fine. Reality is that we're likely to drop a couple at least with that run home, but yeah we've met all challengers so far. The covid lockdowns could work in our favour fingers crossed..

 

[Scythe94]

No Brown again FFS

 

[ImissFrosty]

No Brown again FFS

What the * do we have to lose by playing him, I don't get it, if we see him as part of the team going forward why don't we try him out now after 5 goals in the 2s

 

[rhaz]

Crazy Goody is BACK

 

[Jamurp]

Yeah weird we didn't give BBrown a run, our forwards have been terrible the last couple of weeks, another option could've done some good.

Coniglio and Hogan have been picked to play VFL against Casey as well.

Just really cold, maybe a couple showers but nothing major

 

[ImissFrosty]

Jones injured with a calf isn't good either, calves are an old man injury, you get in trouble there and you know you're gone

 

[ImissFrosty]

Emergencies are Bowey, Vanders, Chandler, BBB
Dare say that Vanders or Chandler are the sub, Bowey doesn't deserve to debut on the bench.

 

[Daemon]

Grrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, Father Time drives the Soft Tissue Bus, when it hits you, you never fully recover, and it hit Chunk a while ago.

True - except BBB played his best game for us against Sydney in the wet.

I'm happy to let him kick another bag down at Casey

Yeah exactly. If we make it an unofficial rule that we don't pull the trigger on bringing in a player off one decent VFL performance, I don't think we've got a whole lot to be concerned about.

 

[djpaulydemon]

I'm not mad. Our tackles inside 50 were up last week. Our leading inside 50 needs massive work but Brown doesn't automatically fix that.

Another run for Brown can't be bad either. Last week was only the first VFL game in a month for all the players in the 2nds so match fitness might not be there.

 

[Topkent]

Great news. Was the biggest false flag 5 goal game you'll see. If he can back it up again atleast one more time then take a look.

 

[jhong]

We signed Brown for 4 years , not 4 min . relax .

 

[netslave]

Expecting Tmac and Fritta to have a better showing this week provided we have tweaked our forward entries.
Max normally has a good battle with Mummy and hope to see someone keep Greene on the leash.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Let's just * with everyone including ourselves and make Brown the sub.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Even though it didn’t work marvellously last week I’m happy for us to give the smaller forward line another go. 1 VFL match against a struggling side isn’t a great sample to make structural changes.

 

[Alpine Lodger]

We signed Brown for 4 years , not 4 min . relax .

Did we really sign him for 4 years? Oh geez goodbye Weid.
