Changes v West Coast

[Quinz]

Was that their last away win lol?

That was our 2nd of 6 wins (and a draw) in 11 away games last year.

Neade doesn't kick goals though he's there to almost apply tackles.

Won't matter. I haven't forgotten Jason ****ing Davenport. Only 6 career Brownlow votes- both BOGs against... guess who.

Jason Davenport? What the ****? It's as bad as the time Rhan Hooper (?!?!?!?) kicked a matchwinning 4 goals to sink us in a close game at the Gabba. Players who might be forgotten by almost everyone else, but not me.

 

[Full Credit]

Out: Blindly booting the ball forward to an empty paddock, R. Gray
In: Run and gun, run and carry, run and spread, K. Amon

If there was one thing about yesterday that I couldn't fathom was the kick it forward at all costs mentality. At one stage even the commentators were onto it after Jackson just hoofed it forward under no pressure. No point in taking possession only to cough it up on the next. Silly football.

Who cares, we are going to get pumped anyway, may as well put the cue in the rack and start playing all the kids.

Let's be honest whod you beat away that was a top 8 side? Richmond?

We are a sniff.

yeah unfortunately i did on the weekend, they are probably performing worse than the Power but we need to sort through our list to get ready for next year. The Fremantle route. With what we've got coming up in games for the rest of the season the Carlton game was pivotal, highly unlikely we can play finals this year now so preparing as best we can for next year is what i'd be doing.

Well we beat Por... hmm yeah, it's a good point you make.

You're definitely a sniff. Probably the first fellow mid table side we've played as well, which should tell us something. We've played the best three sides away, and five of the bottom 7 at home.

Can't blame Stewart for those 4-5 goals .. They came out of the centre with ease.

What are you sniffing?

 

[Magus]

Who knows for sure if we'll get thrashed or not? This team has a history of losing to shit teams and beating contenders. It's why we're so damn inconsistent.

 

[SureBuddy]

Out:
O'Shea
Amon

In:
Carlile
Gray

We are getting killed because our team has been full of fringe players since round 1 or 2, who are crumbling under any sort of pressure.

Young
Neade
Amon
O'Shea
Stewart
Byrne-Jones
Krak
Ah Chee
Sam Gray
Howard
Toumpas

Not saying all of the above have played bad at all, but when you have that many young fringe players you are going to lose most weeks. We can carry 2-3 of them max, but not all. We have been crippled by so many injuries to our experience key players, people seem to be forgetting this.

You put Robbie Gray, Carlile, White, Ryder, Monfries, Schulz and even Lobbe into that team and we beat Carlton by 50+ points. We have also had Trengove out, Hartlett out as well as Chad out for a couple of weeks earlier on.

You take 7 experienced players out of any team, including Hawks / Sydney / Crows etc. they will lose most weeks.

You look at the like for like outs that Hawks would have if they had injuries to the players in the same positions. Sam Mitchell, Josh Gibson, Brad Hill, McEvoy, Roughhead, Puopolo and Ceglar. As well as Frawley, Burgoyne and Rioli out for a couple of weeks here and there. Do you think the Hawks would win more than 4 games so far this year with those outs?

What are you sniffing?

Sniffing we might crack 30k this week

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Do you have anyone other than Trengove capable of rucking?

It might be a complete massacre in there if he's going to be your main ruckman.

Dougal Howard may come in to help out and be the 3rd tall forward option but we are on the bare bones ruckman wise.

Out oshea neade

In gray howard

This is it

Ruckman have their value questioned on occasion (see Leigh Matthews on Sandi) but when you don't have any available you notice the impact. Essendon had similar issues last year having to play McKernan in the ruck, just got smashed each and every week, makes it hard for the midfielders.

 

[PAFC66]

Thanks for those top ups Gill.. We will be uncompetitive in the ruck for the rest of the year.

 

[PAFC66]

I'll laugh if we beat West Coast this week. Huge danger game for them. Apart from last year we have a pretty good record against these flat-trackers.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Thanks for those top ups Gill.. We will be uncompetitive in the ruck for the rest of the year.

And possibly stuff up our China adventure. Thanks Gill, thank a lot.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Why is there Stewart love from yesterday? the bloke is another liability with ball in hand

 

[PAFC66]

Hands together for our list managers as well. Good work.
