Unofficial Preview Changes vs Melbourne

[Tex200]

Dees are ****, won’t count.

Ha ha - can’t wait for old Grotto if Tex plays well tonight.

“No doesn’t count, Melbourne defence were wrestling crocodiles all afternoon, and also they have an unusually high % of players who haven’t had their hair cut for over 3 weeks

 

[Tex200]

Which would make him in AA contention, which he clearly isn't!

Kane you’ve come late to the party but you may just have provided the best comedy of all.

Player must be in AA contention to warrant selection in AFL side.

Comedy gold right there

 

[Tex200]

+1

Dont tell Peter J he may have a stroke.

Im so looking forward to Tex proving me wrong against the Giants, Tigers and Cats. If he dominates and kicks straight against these sides, his captains effort will ensure a win.

Look, if you want to troll the captain in the face of all the facts and evidence then good for you.

 

[marty36]

But I’ve been right and this proves it. Starts well, gets dropped before the bye. How many years now has that been? A quality 200 game player doesn’t get dropped annually, I’d be embarrassed hitching my wagon to such an average player.

Mackay was crook last week and playing tonight whats your issue

Maybe wait to see if we can beat them before saying that. My money is on Melbourne to win by five goals.

 

[Southerntakeover]

****ing ****.

 

[FR0GGY]

******* ****.

[GROTTO]

Look, if you want to troll the captain in the face of all the facts and evidence then good for you.

How did I troll the Captain?

I stated facts that you found offensive. As if it was a personal insult to you.

Its the first time I have stated Tex's stats on here. I could have actually stated his form back after R4. I didnt.

Nor did I have a shot about his effort against Hurn which many other posters have questioned him, but youre not offended by that are you.

DavidMc kay* ?

I like the balance

 

[GROTTO]

Feel free to quote them, I'm going just on this page alone.

Dont. Go back and read them if you want to, as I am telling you otherwise.

 

[FR0GGY]

I like the balance

Have we done it for balance or is Hartigan ill?

 

[FR0GGY]

Dont. Go back and read them if you want to, as I am telling you otherwise.

I went back to from what i could see from the start, found nothing?

Josh Jenkins was ranked in the Top 10 AFL Goal Kickers in 2018.

When he was dropped in 2019 he had scored more goals than Tex had for the year.

How were his contested marks and goal assists ?

How was Tex's?

I’ve given you his for the season. Do you think if we’d persevered with Jenkins he’d be inside the AFL’s top 20 for those 3 key stats for a forward ?

I didnt suggest replacing Tex with JJ.

For the record lets look at Tex v Top 8 Clubs this year.

1 goal against the Hawks, Cats and Eagles.

ZERO GOAL ASSISTS v Hawks, Cats and Eagles.

and had Zero contested marks against the Eagles.

Youre right 3 key stats for a forward and he is failing.

Pathetic cherry picking.

He kicked 3 v Brisbane, and they are a game clear in 6th with a game still to be played. Could be 4th if they win today.

Kicked 2 v Port who were in the 8 and are still just % behind Hawthorn.

Kicked 4 against St Kilda who were top 4 at the time we played them.

Silly argument

Actually youre getting awfully salty. All I did was post JJ stats. You seemed upset by that.

Port were decimated by injuries down back and the Saints are a bottom 4 team.

Lions dont have mature strong bodied defenders like top 8 teams. Lets see where they end up. They were a bottom 8 team last year.

Silly argument.

Right - so you’re argument reduces from top 8 sides, to being sides in the 8 at a time of your choosing, and from there it further reduces to just top 8 sides with mature bodies?

You can see how ridiculous that is can’t you?

And yes I am salty, very salty...I’m full of salt. It annoys me no end when people try and pass off perception as fact, and in doing so cause a stampede of people to lazy to do some simple research to test it.

Tex has basically struggled for a couple of years now.

He played a sequence of 12 games where he scored more than 1 goal just once. That ended when we played the Suns in Round 5, where he kicked 4.

I will stand by what I said. He has kicked just 1 goal this year against the Cats, Hawks and Eagles.

Lets see how he does when we play the Giants, Tigers and Cats in a row. I actually genuinely hope he does do well, because it improves out chances of winning.

The fact remains, I believe he is cooked and can only play well against poorer teams.

Yes youre salty, just because I posted that JJ had scored more goals than Tex, I never made any other inference.

No, you didn’t just post JJ stats, you’re pushing a narrative he’s cooked and should be dropped.

All this based on 3 quiet games in 10.

I think your wrong and I think the numbers prove your wrong

No youre just being so precious.

His last 18 games and he has scored 1 goal or less in 13 out 18. In that sequence, Hawks have kept him goalless in 2 games, Cats kept him to 1 goal in 2 games, 1 goal in 1 game against the Giants and Tigers. Yesterday he was kept goalless against the Eagles.

I know your wrong and I know the numbers prove your wrong.

 

[dogs105]

Have we done it for balance or is Hartigan ill?

I assume Hartigan is injured/ill. But I still like the balance

 

[GROTTO]

I went back to from what i could see from the start, found nothing?

Good that you read all those posts in literally under a minute when you claimed you hadnt read them before. Next go and look on the other threads as well.

He knows what he has said and done.

I hadn't, i did it before and had them quoted when you replied.
Feel free to quote them, im fairly comfortable that you won't be able to produce anything, if you can ill appologize.

 

[mcattack]

Their both right? All eyes will be on walker Go you crows. Nb wasn't his fault we lost last week.

 

[hey shorty]

No, you said "He's ranked 5th of all forwards from rounds 5-10" which would have him in the AA conversation.

He isn't.

 

[GROTTO]

I dont need your apology to go searching. I know what has been said by him. Im fairly comfortably too.

 

[dogs105]

No, you said "He's ranked 5th of all forwards from rounds 5-10" which would have him in the AA conversation.

He isn't.

You can't say he wasn't ranked 5th. It's a fact.

 

[hey shorty]

You can't say he wasn't ranked 5th. It's a fact.

According to statistics. He was held goalless twice.

Probably tells you the forward craft wasn't great.

 

[FR0GGY]

I dont need your apology to go searching. I know what has been said by him. Im fairly comfortably too.

Its pretty easy to produce 1 comment where he's stepped over the line, unless of course he hasn't.
You made the claim now back it up.

 

[dogs105]

According to statistics. He was held goalless twice.

Probably tells you the forward craft wasn't great.

It tells you he was ranked 5th among forwards. Perhaps he was doing something valuable aside from kicking goals.

People can argue about his form or impact all they like, but the logical missteps are hard to read.



"He was ranked 5th by CD"
"If he was 5th best forward he'd be in AA contention"

Holy non sequitur Batman.

 

[GROTTO]

He has and you can do the search if you want to. Feel free to.

I dont need to back up anything to you. Thanks.

Just as I thought.

Just as I thought too.
