Prediction Changes vs Brisbane

[Killer Power]

Oh FFS Kern. Time to fire up your lost faith thread. Muppet.

 

[Nemisis]

Too early to drop Marshall but Sgray is in great form so I'm semi ok with it. Dougal down back will be important... PLUS CO CAPTAINS!! yeah

 

[DaTBird187]

How long does ryder need to use the helmet?

Until she's pregnant.

The annual shortening. You can set your watch to it.

I think I worked out the PAFC formula. It is the number of players above 195cm. We bring in Howard (>195cm) for Watts (<195cm) and drop Marshall (>195cm) to bring in a player less than 195cm, S Gray. It’s all about team balance and not having more than 4 players over 195cm.

Farken

Every year. Every ****ing year.

Start brightly with a tall forward line, convert it to short people by round 3.

plus i think farel is the tyoe that will play better in the AFL than in the sanfl. would have had mayes as a tall marking HFF and second then farrel... thats if marshall was to be dropped.
but to go to sammy again is crazy

 

[Doctor Feel]

Outside of the goals he kicked himself on the weekend, he ****ing turned the ball over like he always did. Particularly going forward.

ffs.

 

[woffy]

FMD - if Marshall is getting dropped surely we bring in Frampton. S.Gray is not a genuine forward, more a midfielder which we've got enough of.
If it has to be a small in, Farrell is the one.

 

[raman]

Would someone please give Sam Gray a gold ring and a one way ticket to New Zealand.

3 good ball users out
3 bad ball users in

Get absolutely f***ed.

..... Ryder escapes criticism a fair bit. He's the elephant in the room.

He actually does have a proven high ceiling though. He's near the end of his career (contract runs out this year) and most KPPs go out like this with a few quiet ones then a good one. I'm quite neutral on his selection. No probs with him being in. But no probs with Frampton, Ladhams or McKenzie in either.

 

[raman]

Is there any chance at all that this is a very late and poorly judged April Fools joke.

 

[Black 18]

Really annoyed at this decision.

I'd be ok with going shorter if we were bringing in a dangerous, skillful, small. But we aren't.

I'd be ok if we were bringing in a small, defensive, tackling machine. But we aren't.

We're bringing in a guy that more often than not - especially against decent teams - fumbles all day long, can't kick 35m, falls over like no other, thinks he's a 6'6 contested marking beast, fails to find targets when he has the ball with a huge percentage always falling short of the target and that's not to mention the eternity it takes him to move the ball on once he has it after going through his 'guppy out of water' breathing techniques.

He also buys way, way too many credits from Ken after playing the occasional decent/good game. It keeps him in the side for weeks of poor performance.

He's had his opportunity, more than enough chances to show what he has and he hasn't managed to be good enough, often enough.

Unfortunately he does not make us a better side. It's the opposite.

[El_Scorcho]

We've just thrown our flexibility into the toilet like every other time we've done this in the Hinkley era.

Now when we inevitably send Westhoff back to deal with the talls during a Brisbane flourish, we'll have Helmet Ryder and smalls to kick to, which means turnovers.

I'm equal parts flipping my lid and reverting to the total lack of expectation I had preseason. Totally unneccesary change that will make us worse.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Hey Ken, gooooooo and get stuffed!

Andrew Moore used to tear up the SANFL too, but AFL was a bit beyond his capabilities. Sam Gray’s SANFL form is a false economy. In the SANFL you can afford to fall over, or handball at the feet of teammates, or be a slow runner, because the pace of the game is slow and all the other players make those same errors under pressure.
In the AFL the pace goes up and the opposition sweats on and punishes that sort of stuff.
The SANFL is Sam Gray’s level.

 

[Adz2332]

the advantage we may have is our mids, its raining and could rain right up until and through sat. hopefully our bigger bodies and older blokes can run over the small kids of brissy

 

[PAFC66]

Gray was always going to come in. Hot night up there and slippery. Not the conditions for Marshall. I'd argue we still need him though. Can read these coaches like a book.

Can't see us winning this game now.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'm worried about Ken doing Gray for Marshall after his post game comments.

He was so quick to name Gray before Trengove.

BINGO.

If only we could gamble on Kenny's selections.

So predictable.
