Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[ThePezDispenser]

I'm mates with another player who was a chance to play for Daw

You've narrowed it down to you being mates with one of two people..

 

[danj]

Ummmmmm, why??
He has been one of the few umpires that has been measured and has made intelligent comments. Paul Roos embarrassed himself trying to distract the football world from screaming down his park the bus game plan by blaming the umpires.

More worried that Brad has jinxed us and that we will lose by less than a goal based on a poor umpiring decision in the last minute of the game then Brad wouldn't be so balanced should have been clearer

Kanye Turner and Ben Warren?

 

[Augustine]

Majak played one of the worst individual games of football I've ever seen the last time he lined up against Adelaide. He was dropping chest marks 10 metres in the clear. But I would still pick him, in fact it's a no brainer for me. 3 talls is the way we play and he's by far our best option for the third tall (at least until Tarrant gets some match fitness). However he knows he's under pressure and unless he has a good game he will lose his spot. I'd love to see him dominate.

We won't ever ever lose a game purely by an umpiring decision!! Getting sick to death of all the ridiculous umpire bashing on sen the last few weeks. Prob overreacting to your point and I'm sorry for that, but gee it's annoying. For as long as I can remember people have said, "no more soft, twiggy touchwood frees, if it's not obvious and doesn't impact the play don't pay it" now that is finally happening, and every nuffy on the planet is crying for them to blow the whistle. Melbourne put 18 players, 1 runner, 6 water boys, and a farking partridge in a pear tree behind the ball. As a result collingwood play uncontested footy, and the world screams out there weren't enough frees paid...... Give me a breather.

Going by Scott's comments I reckon Tarrant will come straight in this week. And unlike many on this board, I support that call.

“He’s a supreme athlete, so with most players you’d suggest he’s a bit underdone, but he’s a bit of a rare commodity in that he’s such a terrific endurance athlete with speed and power.

“He’s probably more of a chance than others would be.”

But will he mark the ball and kick goals!

Feel free to punch a Hawks supporter I know who complains every week even or especially when they win.

Not necessarily. Second half worked pretty well with two talls last week

I agree with you I just have the occasional nightmare about the close ones we lost last year in particular the Eagles game, however this year we have been more consistent at winning by more than 2-3 goals and losing by more than 3 goals so it won't be an issue

The problem is that it is clear they are being directed to ignore as much as possible, throws and holds especially, to keep the game moving.

Then they'll decide to pull someone up for something that's happened continuously throughout the game.

Oh for gods sake it's not you that has been ringing up is it???
Mistakes will be made!!! Deal with it.
Surely we have more constructive, interesting and enjoyable things to talk about.

People are waiting for tonight when they can celebrate or critique the squad for the weekend.

 

[HBFlanker]

Im hearing that Tarrant will play. I think its too soon but if he is fit good on him.

Also hearing that Taylor Walker will be rested.

Woweeeeee, both of those are massive moves!!!
How can the crows justify dropping Walker for such a huge game for them?? Almost lose and go home.

 

[GarnerSmash]

I'm glad to hear that Taz is under serious consideration at least. Good for him.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Yeah, someone has leaked that Taz is in for Daw.

Re: the Walker one, if true then I hope he plays, i.e. if they're seriously thinking of resting him, he can't be 100%.

 

[jess_1804]

I also heard Tex would be rested in the coming weeks, just wasn't sure what game. Fingers crossed it's this week!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

So, if mrjoel is right, looks like Taz in for Daw and LT in for Patch and that's it for now?

Not me Philly.

But this is the sort of shit that you get when you 'let it go'.

I can deal with 'mistakes'. What I can't reconcile is ignoring the rules of the game to allow it to reduce stoppages because the powers that be think that's the way the game should be played.

Rocking back and forth in foetal position....

 

[Event Horizon]

But will he mark the ball and kick goals!

That's the big query on him, I agree. But in the current situation, that wouldn't even be his number 1 goal. His number one task would be to clear the path for Petrie and become the link man at CHF.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Reckon his #1 goal would be to make it through the game without another traumatic, career threatening injury.

 

[Dirty_11]

Hopefully Taz forgot he has the yips in front of goal.

 

[Only Forwards]

Hopefully Taz forgot he has the yips in front of goal.

Hopefully Taz is actually no longer injured.

 

[Dirty_11]

If he plays he's fit. They wouldn't risk that I wouldn't have thought.
