Changes vs Collingwood @ MCG

[SR17]

I'm enraged.. i can't even begin to imagine what inform players in the Maggies are feeling right now

 

[El Zorro]

I hope to be wrong but Matt White looks physically finished to me. Clearly in delist territory. Hopefully he has a great game or the absolute opposite, so we can move on and let him play in the academy side until the end of the season.

 

[finbarr]

This is easily the worst selection call of the Hinkley era. He has completely lost the plot.

GTFO Hinkley and Matt White.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Imagine the melts if we lose

 

[Magpiespower]

JFC, we're getting Phil Jacksoned here.
Today's work goes straight out the window.
Gonna be on here all day for the glorious melts...

GTFO Hinkley and Matt White.

I dunno, the White for Ryder call against GWS was pretty bad.

 

[El Zorro]

Janus, we need you to pull some stats and tell us why White's inclusion is a no brainer and everything is going to be alright (something about the size of MCG and speed, etc).

 

[MitchIn3D]

A list of players more suitable for a call up than Matt White, in no particular order:

Billy Frampton
Logan Austin
Riley Bonner
Brett Eddy
Willem Drew
John Butcher
Joe Atley
Aidyn Johnson
Dougal Howard
Jesse Palmer
Todd Marshall

Edit: forgot Ah Chee

 

[Magus]

This is akin to Phillips 4 touches getting him a call up in 2012.

Ken has gone full Primus.

 

[SR17]

Well why not put in Bonner if you want speed

 

[finbarr]

Hinkley has gone completely insane. It's time to send Captain Willard up the Port River in an army boat to do what needs to be done.

 

[El Zorro]

This is akin to Phillips 4 touches getting him a call up in 2012.

You never go full Primus.

 

[David Puddy]

Hinkley out.

****. Even Toumpas

 

[woffy]

I hope Matt plays a great game, we're going to need him too; But a disgraceful selection, picked on performances of 2 years ago and relying on his speed which I'm not sure is there anymore.

 

[Andre]

A fully fit and fast Matty White is a no brainer pick, even if we had a full list. He's cooked though, he's lost pace and is injured more often then not. That sucks, as in 2014 he was about the most exciting player on our list to watch, but that's (football) life.

I'll be stoked if White shows he's got his pace back. I'll happily eat my words. I don't see it happening though.

 

[Waspy79]

In all honesty, Ken lost me a long time ago. His attempts to partner Lobbe and Ryder was all I needed to know about his nouse for team balance and structure.

 

[MitchIn3D]

****. Even Toumpas

I suppose Toumpas would at least be a 23 year old spudding it up, rather than a 30 year old Matt White spudding it up.

 

[Waspy79]

This is easily the worst selection call of the Hinkley era. He has completely lost the plot.

GTFO Hinkley and Matt White.

I know you know this, but not his fault he's been picked.

 

[Waspy79]

Imagine the melts if we lose

Imagine the melts when we lose, and then next Thursday the only change is Broadbent in for White.

 

[Portmanteau]

Had to go horses for courses here, backing in a senior player to perform despite woeful form coming in. Break glass in case of emergency stuff.

This doesn't annoy me anywhere near as much as our ongoing distaste for a legit second tall forward.

 

[MitchIn3D]

Imagine the melts when we lose, and then next Thursday the only change is Broadbent in for White.

I can't wait for Hinkley's conference when we lose and he says "yeah, all the boys played well but we just couldn't match them today."

 

[Julia#13]

Ahhhh I dont think I even have it in me to melt anymore. The pittard for polec change made me flat. This is just....well nothing. Just such a nothing, undeserved change

 

[Arsene Wenger]

The very worst thing about this is we effectively start a man down from the off. Matt White is so far from AFL level that it will be exactly like the GWS game. He wont get near it and when he does he is no longer up to it.

The damage of such a selection doesnt only affect us tomorrow. This flows down the list. Those of you have played sport at a reasonable level, know that within a team you know within yourself when there is someone playing in front of you that is undeserving. Blokes like Palmer, Bonner, Atley, Ah Chee, Drew wouldnt admit it but they would be thinking, how the heck is this old, slow bloke getting a game in front of me. He not even performing at SANFL.

Ken is a hypocrite coaching for himself and not for the team.

 

[finbarr]

I know you know this, but not his fault he's been picked.

I know, but if he GTFO Hinkley doesn't have the option there. You just knew Hinkley was gagging for an excuse to get him in.
