Changes vs Geelong

[tazaa]

I don't mind Spud coming back in - rain is forcast for the morning of the game. He is a good option with a wet game and the ball on the ground.

Another good call. Spud will be very handy tomorrow night.

 

[Wild Bill]

Happy spud is in. A big body in wet conditions - he will also sit in the hole in front of Hawkins.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

We should nickname him The Game.

If the forward line functions we win in my opinion.

We can't afford to have the likes of Taylor, Lonergan, Mackie, Enright zoning off and creating 3rd man ups.

We need to spread them out and get them one on one. My biggest concern is Majak doesn't have the football nous to carry out this task.

Like that change. Was expecting Mullet but don't mind the thinking behind Firrito playing. McMahon had to go. Was disappointed in his game last week. Made some poor decisions as an 'experienced' backman. Cost us a couple of goals.

LCynic! Tell me you're into burn notice?! If not I may have read your sig in the wrong way

It's a very unsubtle tribute. I'm having to rewatch season 3 though because I'm remembering none of it.

 

[year of the roo]

I think I'd rather LA as sub than Wright. Prefer Wright if he is given 4 quarters though.

after careys article today expect majak to hit the contest HARD!

We all know that Daw is a work in progress, but how long should you persist with a guy who is returning poor numbers?

[shintemaster]

In a nutshell, the inconsistency in performance and the fact that we prematurely signed Brad Scott to a ridiculously long contract without any evidence he can coach. Ross Lyon, Paul Roos and Ken Hinkley have all proven it does not take 5 years to implement a game plan.

All but Paul Roos have not proven it wins a premiership - and I suspect that his time with an established Sydney list wasn't what you had in mind.

Wouldn't mind if he makes a hole in the front of Hawkins

Scott likes 3 talls. Wood will be putting pressure on now and further pressure when Tarrent is fit. Daw is getting the nod as he is a decent ruckman.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

First it was Hansen, then Daw, then the coach ...

 

[Benno_900]

Forecast for Geelong is mostly morning showers.

Should be fine.

 

[JZTIME!]

everyone is all about these wet conditions, the rain has been minimal, the surfuce is pristine and it is forecast clear maybe patchy light showers if that. It may be slippery but far from wet, similar to a dewy night match in QLd or WA maybe

 

[The Filth Wizard]

As long as Spud is on the bench in the last few minutes I'm fine with this swap.

I wonder if The King realises he has played less than ten games.

Jesus, im the ducks biggest fan, but one doesn't fit there.

Vickery - 81 games
Stanley - 48 games
Jones - 63 games
McKernan - 34 games
Daw - 9 games


He's flinging out his career stats like they are relevant, ffs the bloke hasn't played against half of the other teams in the AFL, let alone 50 games to make a decent assessment on his career so far.

I think 1.5 goals a game, and a 6 goal haul in his first 9 is pretty decent tbh. Does the duck realise "only 1.5 goals a game" is a 35 goal season and the same as what Aaron Black averaged when he called him "Pony" and compared him to Longmire?

 

[The Maestro]

Not too happy with the team.

I think we have really troubled Geelong in recent times with our pace. With Wells out, that is one less speedster and with the non-selection of Mullet I think we are going in a little slow.

Pumped for the game though, hope the boys can get over the line.

 

[Happy Hour]

The mullet decision is disgraceful.

While I would prefer not to see one minute of sam wright at afl level, if he's in the team he better not be sub. Could be the worst sub ever.

Hoping for a late change. Don't think we can win with this line up.

I wonder if The King realises he also plays in the ruck. I wonder if he looked at those numbers.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

We can't promote Kanye yet and Harper probably isn't in consideration ... yeah, probably lacking more nip.

 

[Dirty_11]

Did his game where he got KO in the first few minutes get included in those averages.

I wonder if The King has taken into account time spent subbed off, including one game where he was off injured for 3 quarters.

Edit: Beat me to it Dirty!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Really wanted Wood in. The three talls plus Wood is the structure I want to see soon.

I assume mullett is still sore and resting another week or is he playing vfl?
