Strategy Changes vs St. Kilda

[Abed]

Audition on the Melbourne stage for the Mastenator

Audition for the Bombers?

 

[flyinghi64]

You would have to think Masto know's he is on thin ice to perform.
Anything below a good game will put him not only on the chopping block but the trade ship as well.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

We're going smaller then with only 6 talls. Not the worst outcome.

Named 3 in the backline. Don't worry Eric can play small.....Not.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Pretty sure Mitchell already has the job Priddis would be suitable for.

God no. That would be horrid.

 

[whatis]

Happy enough with this team. At least it feels like we are going over to win now and I can be satisfied with that at least if the season does end on Sunday. Can't wait.

 

[lewigie]

I think EMac ****ed flamingEMBERS boyfriend

 

[Macca81]

Finally!! It was long-winded and had to be disguised over a few weeks but our match committee finally left Priddis out of the team without the excuse of an injury. And are they finally waking up to modern footy going in with a smaller line-up? Bout time they realized that the run and spread from the congestion requires quicker smaller players in todays game. We've been too tall for far too long.

Starting to have faith again.

 

[dajesmac]

and he will play, because simpson is too gutless to leave him out.

Ha.

How's that misdirected anger going?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Named 3 in the backline. Don't worry Eric can play small.....Not.

Or McGovern plays the same forward-ruck role he played last week (which is pretty much a given since there's no one else to support Petrie) and we only play two tall backs.

 

[avishka5]

Best case scenario is masto has a blinder and averages 30 for the next month. Then some club comes along and over plays for him.

 

[lewigie]

So Vardy to not play at AFL level but fine to go for WAFL.. must be on very limited minutes I reckon

 

[Dark Sharks]

Marsden playing is purely a positive due to the fact he plays HFF 100 x better than Priddis can.

Would still rather Mutimer or Wellingham, but i'll take the small win above.

With lycett done for the year they won't be taking any risks with vardy

Sad thing is our season is technically not over if we lose on Sunday. We could win our last 3 and make it still.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Not a fan of Masten in the team, but not really sure who we could have picked except for Wellingham, who is appears to be on the outer at the moment.

No Priddis is good, give him a farewell game against Carlton at home and then park him.

 

[ZergMinion]

Sad thing is our season is technically not over if we lose on Sunday. We could win our last 3 and make it still.

Due to the hilarity that is this season we could lose Sunday, win our last 3 and still finish as low as 10th on 13 wins, which is as unprecedented as missing the top 4 on 16 wins.

 

[liam123]

So the game will be delayed by 3 hours on TV. ******* great.

Rediculous mate. I'm as far away from Aus as you basically can be and I get to watch it live

 

[SloppyJoe]

I just hope this season doesn't end up like 2014 where we have to rely on results going our way in the last round, they don't and we are left playing a dead rubber on a Sunday.

Which we will win only to jump ahead of two others teams and screw up our draft picks. Then on draft night best available happens to be a HBF instead of a JK replacement or elite mid resulting in a never ending state of mediocrity...

We pretty much have to shut out our negativity and expect to finish the season strong. We are currently giving ourselves a fairly good chance with the hard calls we've made

 

[joeyavalanche]

Marsden is a very easy player to dislike. I don't even think about what pick he originally was, couldn't care less, he's just a campaigner.

The soft, fragile way he plays seems to rile people up because it epitomizes the thing which the club is being heavily criticized for recently. Our lack of leadership, hardness, "intent", heart, hunger, or just general willingness to win is routinely demonstrated in his game and it gets on supporters nerves.

Whether it's a panic handball, a half arsed contest, a weak tackle attempt, getting the ball on the turnover and just generally having no game awareness or interest in winning, so he might turn around and chip it backwards. He's that sort of guy, winning isn't high on his priorities.

The sort who is seemingly happy with the club finishing at the bottom of the ladder, so long as he is still having fun playing and collecting his pay check.


Is he shit at footy? No. Is he better than me? Bloody oath. Could i give him a Dustin? Bloody oath Does he run hard and kick the footy well? Yes.

But we know what we're getting with him, and it's not what this club needs. Depth is fine, but we need to move on from Chris Marsden.

Please email this to Simmo

Me too. But won't get out of bed at sparrow's fart for this one - replay on demand will do me fine.

You forgot to add in that we have a bit of a dead cat bounce and make the Grand final next year to make everyone think we are in Premeirship mode but our soft under belly is exposed and we never get over it or improve

Bloody terrible effort by NicNat & Lycett leading our ruck.

 

[Winky]

We always take someone as an emergency, usually a mid or a flanker.

I know we do but not someone who can only play 1 position unless there is doubt over someone in that role.
