Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[melbun]

This is HUGE news.

Yes. Bigger than our midfield's waste lines.

EDIT:
Bigger than our losing margin.
Bigger than a Tom Lynch suspension.

But what else is it bigger than melbun?

 

[Fork n Hell]

Spargo is Goodwins only answer for the long missing forward connection, so no doubt he'll be straight back in. never mind that he's next to useless in just about every other part of the game though. i'd rather see Ricky Mentha get a go instead.

 

[Daemon]

I like Spargo but at this point it wouldn't matter if we brought Gary Ablett Junior in, it ain't going to make a whiff of difference.

I just want us to keep losing until we turf out the rotten apple at the top of the tree.

 

[dees arent rabble]

Don't really care.

Don't think I will watch another game this season.

Interest in AFL is cooked this year

I'm all in on the Storm this year

Took my kids (my old man even came along and he hates league) on Sunday to see them against the Sharks. Was a ripper day. We all walked away with a bunch of merch and I'm all in for a membership next season. Whatever it is i usually spend on the Dees for a season will go to the Storm next year. I'll just buy the basic membership for the Dees from now on until changes are made. Won't even bother buying one for my kids. The only player they like is Koz. They've lost complete interest.

My sons have no interest in watching the team, and one of them even took up footy this year! I could probably bribe them to go to a game with promises of lots of unhealthy food, but I don't want to go to a game and nobody is bribing me.

My conditions remain the same as last time I pretended I might go to a game. Needs to be with Toump, and with mushrooms

 

[stEdy]

I'm fleeing the country tomorrow for a 3+ months so will be "freed from desire" from the Dees for a while

But at least bring Menthol Junior in!!!! Nothing else ****ing going on

 

[The Dr]

This thread is going OFF in anticipation for Goody's dynamic changes to the team.

I'm waiting with baited breath for In: Spargo, Out: Sharp

[Lord Nev]

 

[Daemon]

Meh

 

[danster168]

Billings will make the boys stand taller if he makes the final 22. He's a guy that you want in the trenches

 

[I Love Lamb]

Looks like Goodwin has swapped Viney and Sparrow between HFF and Ruck Rover position in the starting 18.

Absolute statement making change there. We will have a complete different look with that swap.

Starting midfield of Gawn, Trac, Oliver and Sparrow will be making Crows midfield nervous.

 

[The Dr]

Meh

 

[netslave]

I third the Meh sentiment wholeheartedly, JVR must be getting dizzy on the selection merry-go-round.

 

[mrmonkey]

We knew it was always going to nothing changes because two were forced and we knew that the cupboard is bare.

We knew it was always going to nothing changes because two were forced and we knew that the cupboard is bare.

My main frustration is the lack of selection integrity with blokes like Salem, Lever and Sparrow. Blokes have done zilch for years.

Would be so uplifting to see them demoted and give fellas like Laser, Adams, Brown etc a good run at it.

Tbf I think Salem has been fine, Sparrow has been more or less the same but there's others in the same boat. Lever got dropped last week and only returned because Howes is injured. I mean as I said cupboard is bare, I'm not really convinced with Laser and Brown.

Salem has been shocking imo. We need to be better than having him a lock in our 22.

Sparrow is a known quantity and average at best.

I'm also not convinced with Laser or Brown but I would like to know for sure. And the time's come to look to the future as much as possible.

 

[Bluelegs]

I was promised Ricky Mentha Jr.

 

[jhong]

I am probably the only one , but his ( Goodwins) pre game presser sounded like very well rehearsed answers . heart hopes for a decent showing , head thinks i'm nuts .

I had to turn it off after 30 seconds.
