Opinion Changes vs Geelong

[tribey]

I don't understand why people are melting at the thought of bringing Fantasia into the AFL side. At his best he's clearly the team's best small forward. He has a nose for goal that is unmatched at the club and the final against Geelong last year showed just how damaging he can be with single digit disposals.

Because it’s the most transparently desperate move by a failing regime who many of us hold in contempt, which has a 5% chance of the player not wearing a jacket and an ice pack long before the final siren, I guess.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Their poor start to the season has left them in this predicament and that means they're going to have to throw up a few Hail Marys.

Well yeah. And it’s an embarrassing disgrace that it’s come to this.

But, Ken Hinkley Football Club gon’ Ken Hinkley Football Club.

If the post in the preview thread is anything to go by, it looks like Bonner, Farrell and Georgiades are out, and Fantasia and Teakle are in.

I'd be bringing back Burgoyne too. Should have never been dropped for Bonner in the first place. I like Bonner and I think he's had a good season, but it was obvious he was back to his old ways of being afraid of getting hurt (with good reason after being smashed in the face - not criticising him for it, it's just how it is).

Teakle and Finlayson to share the ruck duties and run the Geelong rucks into the ground, Dixon to stay forward, Port to win.

Fantasia coming in would be what I call an acceptable risk.

Lol. Biclavs could race against a relay of Teakle and Finlayson and still win.

I get the point but they'll be tag teaming to try and keep up rather than running him into the ground.

Ah a 1 gamer coming back from a break to run Geelong into the ground & a guy that's barely been on the park for 12 months.. desperation

I call it the subtle nuances of a brilliant mind...........................kern will clean up on a dank-geebung victory

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Yeah, it just speaks to the psychological problems besetting the joint.

“our best footy can”, “our best footy will”, “our best footy”, “we know our best footy”.

North Melbourne beat Richmond, a team who Brilliant Mind declared was a “scary proposition”, with two and a half quarters of decent footy and dare.

This mentality Hinkley has ingrained into them that the team has to play absolutely out of their skins and approach each contest at 110% in order to beat any sort of quality opposition is an impossible request.

So is it any wonder they collapse when they’re not reaching said mythical level?

With Ken's game plans they do.

It's funny how Kennys media mates took Scott saying Kenny plays "different" to every other team as a good thing.

 

[Loony Juice]

Is there any other team that in round 19 still doesn't know what their ideal best 22 looks like?

Got to look at things from a different angle sometimes

Like Angle Park

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Surely Bonner doesn't get dropped. Yes he had a shocker. However he is clearly part of our best 22. Him having a one-off bad day after not playing for several weeks isn't a reason to drop him, it is a reason to persist as we need him to get his touch back.

If everyone was fit and firing, then our selection should've been:

OUT: Mead, Farrell, Georgiadies, Burgoyne
IN: Fantasia, Duursma, Teakle, Dumont

EMG: Jones, Burgoyne, Motlop

Of that 4 though, 3 haven't played in weeks and 2 are very high injury risk selections.

So personally I think you've got Duursma & Motlop as the only worthy selections. So maybe Georgiades and Farrell survive the cut and Motlop plays as sub so Burgoyne can get a SANFL game in. Mead MUST be dropped though. He has a future, but he needs to go back and build some confidence.

You just know we will drop both Bonner and Farrell and suddenly be bereft of run and outside kicking efficiency.

Ken is king of the over react to last week game and also very reactive to the oppo. Geelong don't have lots of outside runners so Ken will drop our to try and match them inside.

Watch an ageing Smith tear us apart on the wing.

"We know our best footy can beat Geelong ..."

What is this comment based on? There is very little evidence to suggest that our best footy is capable of beating anyone decent, let alone Geelong on their current hot streak.

You might as well say that you know that you can turn the MG parked in the carpark into a rocket that launches to the moon, that statement would have about as much credibility.

Still mathematically possible

 

[Loony Juice]

We're like dead last in the league since 2016 vs top 4 sides.

I know it's media talk but holy hell I bet our players are 100% deluded in thinking they've done enough to be a top team and feel sorry for themselves in losses.

And we thought he was gaslighting only the membership/supporter base

It's like me standing on the tee, and declaring, "This will be the hole where I score my first ever hole in one. Please ignore the fact that it's never happened before - I'm confident."

Not being harsh on McEntee but wtf has he done to earn a spot? We need scoring power in that f50

 

[Rogue Robot]

Didn't we agree McEntee was McOutee?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

McEntee is possibly the worst player on a list in the league.

better than 5 crows but that's all.

There are simply no words, even in a Thesaurus that can explain how McEntee is AFL standard.

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

McEntee is possibly the worst player on a list in the league.

How he is picked ahead of duursma is just astounding. Bergman as a pressure forward and duursma to Bergman’s role makes so much more sense than this abomination of a change

 

[tribey]

McEntee? What on earth.

 

[68vette]

McEntee-Nothing against the kid but what do the selection committee see that I don't?

 

[x_les_x]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA MCENTEEEEEE
