Preview Changes vs GWS Giants - Round 10, 2021

[SloppyJoe]

I love how much they are taking care of Oscar Allen.

Minor wrist soreness? $800 splint
Elbow niggle? $4,000 customised bionic arm

 

[Truckosaurus]

inb4 they drop Williams, Jones and Witherden for Hurn, Ryan and Vardy

 

[Art OF war]

Do you reckon we had eyes on Jones before TK arrived? Can't help but think TK might have told us to look at Jones.

When TK gets it 30 times, we know that JJ will have a good game cause every second TK possession goes to JJ

 

[RookiePick]

Yeah I think I was like 10 or 11 when he burst onto the scene. Swear one year (early stages) he was not leading the goal kicker in the league with Lloyd.

Funnily enough AFL youtube posted this just the other day

Taylor? Who da F is Taylor? Don't remember that name at all lol.

Richard Taylor

From Hawthorn

Had a punch on with Phil Matera at training

Otherwise kinda forgettable

Can't imagine Fido taking a backward step. Right up there with Pridda for greatest contribution to the club without getting a flag IMO.

Yep Judge bought a couple of ex Hawkers in Collica & Taylor for his time at the club.

Interesting that Petruccelle has gone from preseason whipping boy to barely rating a mention in these threads. Has definitely shown improvement in the small forward role since coming back into the 22. Getting more regularly involved in link up play, hitting the scoreboard (hasn't gone a game without a goal this year), being in position for the crumb more often. No doubt he can keep getting better too.

That said, if we're keeping the structure of this squad similar and going like for like, I'd rather Petch swapped for Ryan than to see JJ go out.

Great call. His off the ball work has improved dramatically. He’s starting to read the ball much better too. Really liking him at the moment.

Collica was actually pretty good coming out of defence in 2000/2001 (I think). Didn’t he win our bnf or was runner up or am I having a senior moment?

 

[woosha24]

Yeah Petch has actually shown some improvement, so props to him. He's still not a fantastic small forward, but he's moved up the list from "liability" to "worth a goal a game". I still reckon though he's on the chopping block when Rioli comes back in.

We've already got a "King" in the forwardline, so should his nickname be "Prince"?

 

[Free Agent]

Glad to hear we redrafted Blayne-train Wilson

Ah crap . Edward looks so much like a Wilson. It's because his a new kid and I haven't seen too much of him. His that's kind of vanilla type and goes under the radar that's why I accidentally forgot his name and thought it was Wilson.

Never gonna hear the end of this now am I haha

I also had zero recollection (Thanks Keys), that kicking style didn't inspire confidence ha

 

[Chris_6678]

Jorden Jones should come in.

Probably be out of JJ and Petch I think.
I guess whoever performs best until/if Rioli returns.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Jorden Jones should come in.

Everyone else has been given a chance. Get him in ffs.

 

[Bender_]

I think you're all forgetting Callum Papertalk!

amirite, Dark Sharks?!

 

[Keys]

Ryan Burrows a late in after they exhume him from the Lathlain footings

Ryan Burrows a late in after they exhume him from the Lathlain footings

Yeah what the hell happened with that guy? I wonder if BOND 007 can give us some insights about why we picked him and what happened after that.

 

[THE A5]

Why isn’t Ash Arrowsmith not getting a game?

 

[shooshka]

Yeah what the hell happened with that guy? I wonder if BOND 007 can give us some insights about why we picked him and what happened after that.

We nailed the draft (even with 'missing' TK) but geez Burrows, Olango and England in the rookie draft wasn't great (albeit I do hope we continue to take higher upside players as rookies - rather than low-risk Kane Lucas types).

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Yeah what the hell happened with that guy? I wonder if BOND 007 can give us some insights about why we picked him and what happened after that.

Memory will be foggy as they were getting on the good stuff with Willie.

Answer will be something about not wanting to miss out on a Liam Ryan or a Tim Kelly for cheap and having to pay a lot more the following year.

They would have also been packing their dacks at the thought of wading through 500 "West Coast only draft vanilla players" threads here on BigFooty.

 

[squashface]

Ryan Burrows already our best player

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Geez

I've entered a thread time warp

WTF is going on

 

[Mulldogg]

I just watched a 2002 game on YouTube, the game we broke the Brisbane Lions 20 game winning streak and Troy Wilson was missing sitters from the goal square, kicking 50m bombs and cleaning up future failed senior coaches like Justin Leppitsch. I’m tempted to create a Troy Wilson thread to showcase his brilliance.

Is this the same game that Damien Adkins laced big Willo out with a couple of absolute worm burners (or “spears” as Derwayne refers to them as)?

Was a flash in the pan player for a couple of years Adkins but definitely remember he could really hit targets by foot (when not under pressure that is).
