Prediction Changes vs Brisbane

[Killer Power]

I just don't get it. So will we push Hoff forward which will only compound the loss off the wings of Watts and Amon. Or will we just play Darth Ryder and the hobbit squad forward? Better be wet and slippery.

 

[TeeKray]

I think a lot depends on where Westhoff plays. If the plan is to play Westhoff mostly forward then we have Westhoff + Ryder/Lycett forward at any given time and that is perfectly acceptable in terms of forward line height. If Westhoff is getting most of his kicks at half back/wing then it's going to be classic Ports midget time.

 

[Visenfest]

You have got to be f**king kidding me.

 

[finbarr]

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.

Sam Gray isn’t a crumbing forward. Sam Gray plays as a marking target who spends most of his time trying to get a mark of the year nomination and falling over.

Sorry, couldn't resist dredging up an Alyx classic ...

FFS. I was just starting to think there was hope for us yet. I watched the replay of the game and Todd really was not as god awful as some people are making out. Persist, persist, persist. flipping pissant.

 

[Visenfest]

You just know that if we win but Sam Gray plays like dogshit, Ken will be all "yeah nah can't change a winning side."

Double. F**king. Standards.

If we win this game I'll brand it as Hinkleys best win ever.

clockwork lol

I'm sure he will too. He sets the bar low.

No doubt we'll start him up forward, swing him back when Brisbane have a run of clearances and then we'll wonder why we can't move the ball forward anymore and probably blame skills? Individual players for not overcoming having a tactical hand tied behind their backs?

Maybe people will blame Marshall for not being a dominant matchwinner after 12 games of footy

with howard back, with this free up burton to play the watts intercepting / quarter back role now? has some fantastic disposal on him

Yep, this is the killer. It's a double edged sword. If we have a good game and win, Sam Gray books his ticket until the bye at the very least and we officially go one KPF down.

 

[RossFC]

I'm expecting that Jonas, Clurey, Howard and Burton are the tall back 4.

Ryder, Hoff, Ebert the big forward 3.

 

[Dalfino]

1 step forward, two steps back. Classic Ken.

Burton is a good cog in the machine but he's not ready to be that player yet.

 

[finbarr]

This has ruined my day. **** you, Hinkley.

 

[melanChronic]

This is absolutely ****ed. This man CANNOT maintain a decently structured team for more than 5 minutes of the season. Nothing has changed.

I'M FAAARRRRKING PISSSSED OFFF

 

[Adz2332]

bloody hell the more i think the more pissed i am. at least give me Mayes as a HFF if you must drop marshall!!
tall, moves well. can mark. can go to the wing / HB if need be. knows the ground.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'm expecting that Jonas, Clurey, Howard and Burton are the tall back 4.

Ryder, Hoff, Ebert the big forward 3.

Then we will have lost 2 wingman (Amon and Hoff) and not replaced them.

You just knew from the moment Ken was licking his lips over Gray's SANFL performance in his post-match presser that he was going to pull this kind of shit. He's going to wreck another high potential, high draft pick KPF all because of his love affair with scrappy midget full forwards. Disgusting.

 

[tangolikelama]

Lol r.i.p

 

[Dalfino]

I don't think I've ever felt physically angry at team changes before. I've always just shrugged or sighed but this is infuriating.

 

[Steve Dore]

There was me thinking that with the talent we have brought in that Sam Gray would be playing SNAFL all season.

If Jake Neade was still on our list Ken the 2-0 superhero would have brought him in this week also.
