Preview Changes V Hawks

[Hell Boy6669]

Geez watching this made me angry.

I would show this to the players before Saturday.

Nicholls and McInerney, arseclowns of the highest order.

Its so blatant that they were favoured, are the umpires told before the game dont make it obvious but make sure Hawks get the rub of the green. Would love for a dubious free to go our way for once and we win a game

 

[Lawrst]

Must say im happy Shaun has been given a go. He has shown so much in the SANFL over the last few weeks and all of last year. Finished 2nd in the goal kic....

Sorry wrong player.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Anyone else think Johnston is a dud?

Clearly.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Anyone else think Johnston is a dud?

He's not a dud but not fully committed to footy with his attitude apart from match day.

 

[Lawrst]

VERY happy to see Lyons in tho.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Anyone else think Johnston is a dud?

None of us have seen him play enough .....but the coaches see him everyday and i suspect that's the conclusion they've drawn

It is otherwise impossible for a team to have the ff/fa ratio we have had over our 20 years.

especially during the ultra disciplined Neil Craig era. It's one thing to have a bad free kick differential if you play the "unsociable" football of some other teams. but we were well known as the complete opposite and still copped the rough end of the pineapple over and over again.

i'm not sure why that reads in past tense either.....

 

[Moonwatcher]

well, looks like it's Smack's turn to shine

I feel icky now

 

[spenze]

I'm guessing if Smack kicks some goals and ends Gunstons season in a pack mark situation there may be three Toast threads for Smack

 

[jackster83]

At least we might get a few hitouts to advantage now.

Need to take Gibson out of the play. He can't be allowed to take 20 marks again.

 

[Wright Away]

**** I want the Crows to win so badly on Saturday, I wish I could be there.

At least the Hawk pricks didn't win the premiership.

 

[sbenno]

Finally Petrenko gets dropped. About bloody time.

I reckon this is even more of an indication that Jaensch is finally going to play forward, after showing Sando that he could last week.

I bagged him before last week's game, but he does seem to be on the improve. Have him play 40-50m out, mopping up all of Gibson's spoils. Make the Hawks revise how they defend.

 

[sbenno]

Who comes in if Brown doesn't come good? Does Pets automatically come back in, or Tambling get a shot?

 

[Cleric]

Smack is very good in ruck, jenkins not so much and jacobs not in form.
I would have picked mckern over johnstone just bec jacobs needs help.

Smack is also better in afl than sanfl bec the speed of the game suits him

So the AFC now sees the need to play two ruckmen. Pity they didnt realise this last year because we might have had Giles in our team. But our club continues to be dragged kicking and screaming to make a correct decision, at our clubs expense.

 

[BACCS]

Yeah mate, can't believe they don't ring you before they do anything. Don't they know you can see the future?

Hey mate, haven't you seen EC's thread? BF knows all, the selectors are idiots.

 

[dylan123]

Interesting that Porplyzia and Lyons have been named on the field. So the sub will be one of Henderson, Vince, Jaensch or Wright.

Matthew Wright might be in line for a scare.

The sub doesn't have to come from the bench, can be someone named on the field fwiw.

 

[BigLefty]

just saw the end of AFL360. they had a montage of the final 15 minutes of the prelim to advertise this weeks game.

after all that went on in the offseason, then this week, it's easy to forget the end of last season. but it will not be lost on the players that we owe them one. sure it's just a regular season game, but it will be ON this saturday.

could just be the lift we need to get the season going. we need something.

Jeez that's painful to watch

Just frustrates me that so many of the people have on the board have been calling for these changes for weeks. How come the guys getting paid triple figures can't see what we can? Having favourites kills coaches. While I was never overly fond of Blighty, at least he didn't take any shit. Obviously Sando has a completely different coaching style but he's now paying the price for being a little too soft. We let a few players coast last year because the team was winning but we've been exposed badly this season.

they should have to put a "disturbing images" disclaimer before that shit.

You are kidding right?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

You are kidding right?

Are you disputing Petrenko's shitty form? He's been treading thin ice all season.

 

[DangerSloane]

Cannot be screwed searching through 27 pages. WHats wrong with Laird and how long is he out?

 

[Wood_Duck]

Hey mate, haven't you seen EC's thread? BF knows all, the selectors are idiots.

I just found it.
