Prediction Changes vs. Brisbane

[B0ydmoan]

3 goals and 5 goal assists in his first 3 games at that level ever?

What were the coaches expecting I wonder.

Bags of 5?

Let's not forget SFA game time, and being played 90m from goal

 

[simmo_bc]

If we aren't going to play Eddy, Hewett would have been a better upgrade - playing some good footy

 

[B0ydmoan]

6 quarter of putrid football and 3 minor fringe changes?
Get ****** ports.

Um 7.

If we didn't snag that last minute goal VA hawthorn they scored as many goals as us after quarter time

 

[Us against the rest]

Disagree, I feel like Kern has too much imagination.

"I'LL PLAY TRENGOVE AS A FORWARD AND HARTLETT AS A DEFENDER! YEAH! SAM GRAY WILL BE MY FULL FORWARD AND I'LL OWN A UNICORN CENTAUR THAT BREATHES OUT POPCORN AND FARTS BUTTER AND A PLANET FROM ANOTHER GALAXY THAT'S TICKLISH BUT ONLY ON THURSDAYS."

Classic.

Epic melts. Thread does not disappoint. And there's plenty more to come. Oh, yeah!

What makes 'em even more priceless is that we all saw these changes coming. Pretty predictable. If anything, it's probably made the melts even more vitriolic.

This is my favourite so far. Simple, succinct and straight to the point. Three votes...

Ken Hinkley you gutless bastard.

 

[Magpiespower]

Also, can we put a line through Toump and AhChee now?*





*Barring an apocalyptic run of injuries and suspensions.

So your just another bloke who answers his own posts?
Hmmmmmmmmmm

 

[PJ Power]

I reckon the air at Adelaide Oval will be nervous this week. The competition's best air tackler is back in. Go Jakey!

 

[bomberclifford]

I remember hearing some second-hand info about him carrying something around the time he was dropped, the inference being it was more a rest than an omission.

I recall the same thing.

 

[bomberclifford]

I was at the game last week, and you could see that Jasper was carrying a leg injury. I'm no medical expert but I'd say it was some form of tightness.

You sure it wasn't just signalling?

 

[ZakLee]

Ah Chee was stiff and there's probably people you should make an example out of before Pittard.

Yes - Hartlett. His average stats per game for 2017 - 17.4 disposals, 4.3 marks, 2.1 tackles. If he keeps this up this will be he his worst year since 2010, his second year on our list.
By comparison Pittard's average stats per game for 2017 - 21.4 disposals, 5.4 marks, 2.2 tackles. Stats wise this is his second best season after 2016.
I know stats don't mean everything, but I think some one must have some photos hidden away.

 

[KenOath]

AhChee left out as they were asking him to do a role that he doesn't really have the attributes for (sigh).

So why doesn't this same logic apply to Hartlett, Trengove and Boak?

 

[Killer Power]

Another ridiculously shit selection night. Rinse repeat.

 

[pastmyprimus]

You sure it wasn't just signalling?

I'm sticking with tightness

 

[Tredz]

A lot of hate for Jake Neade on here - to be fair however Jake has lead the tackle count for the Magpies over the past 3 games (ie defensive pressure and consistency). After last weeks game against the Bombers if there is one thing that was sorely lacking it was defensive pressure. Ken has said for years if you don't defend you don't play. Surely Jake deserves to be rewarded on that fact alone. As I've mentioned before - more than any other player on our list who has played more than 50 games for us we are more likely than not to win when Jake Neade plays. Port by plenty. #supportjakeneade

Yeah look. Selection, game day and autopsy threads are never anyone's finest moment, what with unfiltered, visceral reactions to any form of raw disappointment in real time.

But,

We're a few short months away from it being three years since we almost gatecrashed a Grand Final.

And we're supposed to be clinging to wins over 10th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th as if our current 6-5 (5th) record and related form means anything remotely positive going forward into what's looking like a fourth year of sweet and sour mediocrity with many of our supposed jets looking like they've long fired their best shot. If Rome's not burning, it's on a light smoulder with a few boxes of oily rags within eyeshot.

This must be how Richmond supporters felt in the late nineties when they repeatedly brought back the likes of Nathan Bower and Mark Merenda for games.

"We made a Prelim a couple of years ago, the coaches know what they're doing, we'll be right!"

They're my fave threads, lol...

The three weeks after we pump Brisbane are telling.
Collingwood, Richmond, West Coast.
We could just as easy be 10-5 or 7-8 on current form.
Actually got a pretty favourable run home.
But...

From my eye jake wins most his tackles camping outside packs. If ah Chee and Atley sat outside packs like him they could probably rack up tackles while watching the oppo march the ball out time after time. While it's good having someone sit outside packs I would prefer they weren't ball watching for the other 97% of the contests they don't lay a tackle.

 

[philthy05]

I'm officially on the Hinkley is done train today.

I long ago accepted that football clubs are going to have their ups and downs but all I want is to see a competitive team (which we do honestly have right now) and a club that strives to improve.

We are not striving to improve.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Flat.

I feel like this guy -

 

[FallingLiefs]

Outs are fine, ins are fairly boring.Replace Neade with Atley and that's a pass. Then replace Young with Howard and it's probably a good week.

Sort of the changes that I don't feel hugely excited about nor greatly disappointed in.
