Preview Changes vs Nth Melbourne

[adelaidecrows]

The amusing thing about this is that it isn't even true. At no point has he covered the most ground. Of the four games he has played in full, in kilometres ran he has been ranked; N/A, 3rd, 4th, N/A.
And in all four games, he was still covering less ground than opposition wingmen - Sharp, Langdon and Nic Martin were all ranked 1st, Ollie Hollands ranked 2nd.

And those players actually get the ball, do something useful with it and don't give away brainless frees.

So what you are saying is that he has failed at running. lol. But he can only run to Nicks shape. So if its an overly defensive shape and thats where the ball spends most of its time, then by definition he is really not going to be running too far.

Smith did really well to get through the game???

Getting through the game is not the objective here! We need a little bit more contribution than just that

 

[Crow till I die]

You could always change teams…come to the mighty legs

I'd rather eat my own ..... than follow them

 

[Harris1991]

Could be time to put a sneaky $100 on North here. Two rabbles going head to head.

 

[George CantStandYa]

I'd rather eat my own ..... than follow them

And I thought you were a good Rostrevor boy

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I voted 1. Not that I think because the changes will be good, but because I'm desensitised and feel nothing. Not angry, not postal, just no emotion.

 

[Samcro24]

Nicks has sh1t for brains - confirmed.

Even when he is rambling about other clubs he is clueless (not surprising when he's clueless about his own club)

We played Melbourne in round 4, they lost to Sydney in the opening round.

Maybe he didn't realise that was the start of the season, not round 1. The buffoon probably thought it was a practice match before the real stuff started the following week.

Must have meant lost to us

OUT: Marco Bello, the only thing he can develop is a rash.
Nicks, a nice guy but can't coach.
Burns, lazy and a yes man, one dimensional.
Van Berlo, part of the secret club, seriously overrated player and worse as a coach.
Riccutio, head of the secret boys club, smokes too much pot and is an egomaniac.
Olsen, vomit
Silvers, guy wouldn't know the difference between a cows ass and a letterbox.
Oglive, too much to mention
Justin Reid, f@#king joker
IN'S
Nathan Buckley head coach
Corey Enright def coach

Time for this muppet show to end

So thinking not so quietly that we are going to ruin Curtin as a player, or we got the pick terribly wrong again and the AFC are trying to hide him in the SANFL

Not in a literal sense, but his running (in both distance and capacity) is largely overstated.
And in spite of all of the pre-draft ramblings of him being able to run 50000km without stopping (or whatever nonsense they were peddling), he rarely has over 80% TOG (probably for the best). He's just weirdly overhyped in the only thing he's good at.

The pick was not wrong

Going to be a tough decision for Nicks if Murphy is available, he may have to drop his star shape keeper in Mchenry.

Can just imagine Nicks in the selection meeting now

Smith out Murphy in, Dawson to HB.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Thank goodness, some sanity

He was clearly struggling last week.

Hopefully Jones slides to half back

 

[cleanhands]

Some absolutely bizarre selections on here……………………… unfortunately they would all be a possibility

 

[Crow till I die]

And I thought you were a good Rostrevor boy

Look, i wasn't straight up when i said that. I should qualify that that comment applies in the SANFL..Double Blues forever.

However IF norwood were to get the AFL license, they would be my second team, as it would be if it was centrals, south, west etc. The only SANFL side i wouldn't ever support in any way shape or form is port..i just loathe them...respect certain things they do like at trade and draft time, but hate that club.

I wasn't born in the late 1800's (when the legs won most of their flags)

We didn't get the pick wrong. The lad can seriously play. I just hope we don't ruin him and force him to want out

He must be bed ridden

 

[jackster83]

He must be bed ridden

Or he's got tickets for LIV Golf.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He saw a replay of the Essendon game
