Changes vs Collingwood @ MCG

I think every one is just pissed that there is players in the Magpies clearly out performing their AFL counterparts and aren't getting rewarded. like the coaches would bullshit us with every year.
Yeah but let's be honest SANFL and AFL standard are a fair way apart. And did you see the Sturt game? Shocking.
 
We were never going to make wholesale changes after we just won by 8 goals.
True, but after the coach made positional changes that CLEARLY demonstrated that we needed a natural/leading key forward to replace Trengove, it is very surprising that we stuck with our broken setup.
 
This is very disheartening. Ken has no balls. Im heading over currently waiting for a tiger flight which is 50 minutes delayed so far and considering not even going. Carn

Thanks, great research. I've often wondered if we whinge the most.

Again, I'm wildly confident we'd be topping a table labelled "Losses As Favourite 2014-2017", so our ongoing consternation over how we're travelling is hardly a surprise.
 
I remember in Ken's first year when Thomas and Logan were completely dominating in the SANFL but Ken would never select them because their ball use was shit.

Oh my how standards have dropped. We're rewarding in players who don't work hard enough for possession as well as being poor ball users and are completely one dimensional players.

Yeah that was the one thing that made me think we would see a structural change this weekend.

Looks like Ken is going to live or die as a coach by his own sword.

White emergency lol, another forward flanker just in case hey.

Have given up on the second tall forward idea so my melting is minimal.

Is wishing an injury on Trengove poor form?

Considering its Trengove and what he did for the club last year, yes it certainly is....

But there plenty of players i wouldn't say that about, and its the only way the deserving young players will get a game, just like last year.
 
This was why I was so ****ing ropeable with our selections against Brisbane. Bar Houston, we picked completely the wrong players against Brisbane. Those players took three and a half quarters to shake off the worst team in the competition at our home ground. But because we won, 'we were never going to make wholesale changes'. Never mind that we have four forwards in our forward line who are averaging 1 goal or less a game while the clear leader of the Ken Farmer medal sits in the SANFL for the 11th consecutive week. It's utter bullshit.



The team bus could crash on the way to the game and Ken would wheel out Sam Gray's rotting corpse rather than play Eddy.
Yep, this is exactly what we said. We could have played Lobbe and Simon Phillips against Brisbane and won. It was never about Brisbane.

We have an easy win against a terrible team in an awful performance and Ken takes it as a mandate to continue picking 4 underperforming small forwards for the foreseeable future.

And then if Collingwood spank us this week it'll be 'well the boys had a win last week, we don't want to overreact to one loss'.

Last week's selections didn't just lock Jake Neade for last week, it locked him in for last week, this week and probably next week. Three wasted games.
