Preview Changes vs Adelaide (Sun 16th Aug)

[Struggle]

Out: Gardner
In: Gowers

 

[Optimistic Dog]

It’s a forum for gutless weak ‘supporters’ that think their opinion is warranted...we can talk about being disappointed and be upset, but half the sh*t that gets dribbled out makes a majority of the posters look like a pack of donkeys...hence why anyone that matters at the club wouldn’t bother. Like I said...head downtowhittenoval and tell them face to face...see what happems

Mate we paid our membership and cannot go to the game to support and vent anger. Surely when you get selections like Gowers, Gardner and Roarke Smith in successive weeks you can question what the hell is going on.

We’re not, but I tell you what...if half of you that profess to know anything about footy, and also profess to support your club, wouldn’t post half the crap that gets dribbled out on this website! Like I said go down to the ground in better days and say some of the sh*t that gets said on here, and see what happens...Essendon are a classic example with death threats to cal ward...weak as piss...so is a lot of this websites content!

Jog on mate. It doesn't hurt anyone for some of us to use this as our place to vent our frustration. No one is subjected to reading it without their choosing to do so. We all love the club, many of us haven't been able to leave our homes for months and we are frustrated, angry and disappointed. And we are all absolutely justified in feeling that way. I've donated a significant amount of money to the club this year and I'm sure some of our posters have donated a lot more. And next year we'll do the same. But if venting in an online forum helps some of us stomach the miserable periods then I don't think it's unreasonable for us to do so. We're not posting abuse on the players social media (at least I hope not) or doing anything of real consequence.

 

[Mutt]

Nope I don’t... hence why I’m here

Well perhaps you should stop denigrating those who post on here. How about you tell us what you think about the team, rather than shit on those who are members of this site?

 

[Dogs Rule]

I don’t care anymore. Netflix is going to cop a hiding over the next four or five weeks until the season is done.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Not sure if I'd make too many changes. Obviously Hunter would come back in if he's ready, but there hasn't been any indication that he'll be available.

I think we're the game was lost was in the midfield and the centre clearances in particular. Our midfield is the strongest part of our game and I think we'll get that back on track. Thought our forward line worked a little better with Naughton and Dale back, didn't get a whole lot of opportunity as a lot of the time we had given up territory.

Would've had Lewis Young in over Gardner originally, I do think we need a tall to replace the Crozier role. Gardner didn't have a great day again but I don't think he was horrible and wouldn't be too fussed if he kept his place. I have been surprised with the unwillingness to play Lewis Young. Thought he was great in the last rounds of 2019 and he's always shown good signs (even with dodgy foot skills). Got moved forward for some reason over the summer and then couldn't get a look in with both Naughton and Schache out. Doesn't make sense. Needs to go back again and I really would like to see him back in the team soon.

Match committee probably have already decided on this match up.

We need to play Tex back into form

So where are the death threats on this forum? That’s right, there are none.

What you have on this forum is supporters and paid up members (many of which put a heap of money into the club) venting about our s*** performances this year. Nothing more, nothing less. As members (and supporters) we have a stake in the club, we financially support them and we’re more than entitled to our views if we don’t think things are up to standard and they’re clearly not.

I’m pissed off...of course I am, but do you think for a minute that the selection panel deliberately pick a side they think won’t win? Do you think the players go out there and not try? Whether you think gardener or gowers can play, is irrelevant! The shot that gets posted by plenty on here is embarrassing! I like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable on this club, and this list is okay. But are they up to it this year? Clearly not...but this isn’t constructive half the shit that gets posted.

Wasn't horrible? He's still towelling off after the bath Hipwood gave him. Was completely lost when the ball came down there. It's a No from me

I’m a member to by the way, have been for nearly 40 years. Don’t go every week but I don’t miss any games and I bleed when we lose, as much as the next bloke.

Exactly and none of the comments by anyone on here have been about anything except football. We are critiquing players performances and ability. It’s not like there’s been a single personal or offensive comment

Mate this thread is written by high level intellectuals such as myself. So are the rest of the people on here, who if Bevo read what we write, he would win every game. So, please respect our wisdom, insights and brilliance. Enough said!!! Porco dio!!! as my late father would have said.

 

[Doggies_13]

Can big footy remove the ability to post comments and replace it with a clapping symbol and a sad face symbol. Because god forbid anyone questions a club decision about selection or a players ability. We should just be clapping after a goal, using sad faces after an opposition goal etc

 

[Golden_6]

Out: Gardner, Richards
In: Sweet, Hunter

Watch McLean & Lipinski get dropped for Porter & Hayes.

At the end of the day we lost to a top 4 team on their home deck due to a poor 15 minutes. We have a relatively easy run home so I wouldn’t be making wholesale changes and still think we can win a bunch of matches on the run home.

That would mean that we would end up like the Melbourne FC. F**k no, please!!!

 

[Doggies_13]

But then we wouldn’t offend anyone by commenting on the club or players.

 

[AltonaBoy]

Play some of the younger guys and get em some experience for 2021. 2016 was a rarity and I doubt we’ll see something like that again if we scrape into the finals. Particularly without reliables like MBoyd and Dale Morris.

I don’t care if we lose as long as there is a BB path to our long term game plan.

So we just shrug our shoulders and except it? Supporters that accept mediocrity are crap supporters in my book. If you’re fine with a list that’s just “ok” great for you.

Here we go the big fan but doesn’t go every week. Jog on.

 

[Doggy]

We have a longer break with the shortened games so if we were resting players it would have occurred with games that we were a decent chance of losing, not games that we need to win to get us back into finals.

Finals?

Long gone, don't deserve it either

 

[Yojimbo]

I did not know i was supposed to bleed when we lose, i am not bleeding currently, i am ashamed.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Forgot about finals we don’t deserve to be in them and if by chance we do make the finals we will be making up the numbers.

 

[weltschmerz]

Forgot about finals we don’t deserve to be in them and if by chance we do make the finals we will be making up the numbers.

I'm expecting us to be somewhere in the 9-12 range. Not high enough for finals, not low enough to get a high draft pick that will pay for Jamarra.
