Changes vs Collingwood @ MCG

[Pt Augusta Power]

Just don't care anymore - I won't even bother watching Sat.

Gold passes don't extend to supporters/

Do you think the forecast of rain also had a say in things? Last few weeks have been uninspiring for sure.

I feel exactly as I did before the Essendon game and that we will know more about us and where we are at after this game. I'm guessing Ken is the same way and the Essendon game was just a day where everyone was off.

If we fail this weekend Alberton will be a war zone and the changes will come.


Right?

 

[MALTSY]

This team could not win a premiership.
Terrible selections

Right?

Rain just means that our players will slip over more than they already do. It should have minimal bearing on whether we go tall or small though.

"this team" refers to the one playing tomorrow.

Jake Neade is not a premierhsip footballer, not even an AFL standard footballer, how he is playing defies logic.

 

[Doctor Feel]

> check selections
> pittard in after one okay game

Carry on then, glorious premiership machine.

 

[ozph1870]

We were never going to make wholesale changes after we just won by 8 goals.

If we made the right selections last week we would have won by just as much, if not more, now we are stuck in 2015 with the same players rotated each week with the same issues that won't be resolved.

We will beat Collingwood, but the issues will still be there.

Man this attacking Neade is getting old. You'd think from this place that he is the sole reason why we lose games. He wasn't even involved in our worst loss of the year (Essendon), I just don't get the constant hate. There's so many bigger problems than one fringe player who has only played one AFL game this year and earned a call up based on good form in the magpies.

How is him not playing against Essendon relevant ? He simply is good enough, we saw it all last year, dont nothing in the SANFL all year yet gifted a game - its a joke, How about Palmer ? Monfries (yes, now inj) and Krak ? All should have come in well ahead on Neade.

Neade, Young, S Gray ect.

Throw in the injured Boak and R Gray

Perennial underachievers in Hartlett, Pittard, Trengove

Literally a 3rd of the side that Ken prefers is not finals standard. Forget premierships, that hope ain't happening again for at least 6 years.

 

[PowerBaz]

The only reason Neade remains in is because Ken can't lose face, if we make finals I'll put money on it he'll be watching from the stands. Selections are weak.

Total bull****. He's been good in the maggies this year. Most tackles on field on several occasions and hasn't been going missing like he did in the past.

Palmer has been far more up and down. Krak has been mostly bad with a few good moments. Monfries, well for one he's injured but before that he's been okay but certainly not clearly better than Jake.

Meanwhile Impey has played badly all year and no one bats an eyelid (I like impey and think he has a lot of upside), young hasn't fired at all either and he's not constantly criticised either.

Hartlett has been awful, boak has been down. None of them get criticised anywhere near the level of Jake.

Impey is playing at Neade's level but doesn't get the same criticism. I don't like how a single player has become everyones whipping boy.

I'd say less than that, give Bass the keys, I don't think he plays gold passes

Neade went missing until his last 3 SANFL games before getting called up.

Port copping a hammering from Facebook Port supporters and rightly so. Surely the club feels the vibe.

 

[Raffo]

I'm angry at ports selections too but I can hardly see how it's Neade's fault even if you don't like him.

S Gray playing as a forward all year missing dead easy goals, play him as a mid or get him out of the team.
Young, needed to stay in the maggies for more than one game
Drop Hartlett until he looks like he cares
Play Trengrove back, he's not a forward, it's not working
Give Eddy or howard an extended run instead of dropping after a couple of games.

Completely warranted to whinge about Neade too if you don't think he should be in the team but why only whinge about Neade, constantly like he's our only issue?

We have a long way to go if we want to make an impact in finals and no single player is going to make much of a difference to that.

Have you read this thread at all? Nobody's 'only' whingeing about Neade. Everybody's also whingeing about everything else you've mentioned. You're just zeroing in on Neade because you're clearly his mate or a family member or something given that you barely post about any other topic.

 

[Raffo]

Because I'm a fan makes me automatically his mate or family member? Butcher must have a big family then!

There are many single posts in on the board right now singling out only Neade and from the same posters (like you) over an over and it's just boring.

 

[B0ydmoan]

Players dropped on form shouldn't be granted a spot after a single game in the twos, particularly if their game was just okay. Oh well. Play a great one, Jasper.

Yes but it's only a symbolic dropping. Its showing US Ken is prepared to make the hard decisions and drop players. Just do it following the worst loss in your 5 years of coaching, when you are up against the bottom team in the competition when you are at home, make it just the one player and bring him right back it.

I'm just surprised it's taken so many of you 2 & 1/2 years to catch on

The guy's a phoney

The team includes the coach.
People can blame Hinkley as much as they like, and I'm starting to swing that way as well. But he is surrounded by shit campaigners.

There's also plenty of posts from me criticising the selection of Young, and the selection of S Gray, and the selection of Trengove as a forward, and the non-selection of Eddy/Howard, and the non-selection of Atley, and the non-selection of Palmer, and every other issue that your post raised. Are you saying that if anybody wants to make a post criticising Neade that they also have to include in that post everything else that they think is currently wrong with the club? Because I can, but the average word count on my posts will go way up.

Jake is far from the only problem with our selections, but he's absolutely a major one.

Don't worry, they'll come up with some shitty social media post.

Who cares.

Why did we even bother giving a contract to Eddy?

He's been at the club since 2014 I believe?
