Preview Changes vs. Suns - Rd 23

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Out: Soyman, Oliver, Billings, Salem, Fritsch. Gawn
In: AMW, K Brown, Jefferson, Sestan, Verrall

For the next two games.

And I would give Oliver a game with the Glen Alvie seconds (for the next 5 years).

If the Essendon District Football League is good enough for the GOAT Farris-White its good enough for Clayton.

Wouldn't part of "setting ourselves up for next year" logically involve blooding some players so they know what it is all about?

Send them into preseason clear that however much fitter and stronger they thought they needed to get for AFL that it is much more?

Finding out about some players so you can make informed decisions at the trade table and draft?

Playing some players in different positions to see what might be possible?

Out: guys that are proven, known value and importance to 2025

In: unproven guys with unknown value or importance to 2025 and beyond.

FFS.

Strong high performing culture.

 

[MartinPrince]

Can these pr.cks just send back Mac Andrew.

 

[Scythe]

For the last time, if we got Mac Andrew, we wouldn't have JVR.

Now, will Andrew be better than JVR? Possibly. But it's hardly the worst injustice of all-time considering who we ended up with.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Scythe94 sounds keen to start banning people who mention Mac Andrew, similar to how actors dont like hearing people say Mac Beth inside the theatre.

 

[Daemon]

Why didn't we draft Mac Andrew, guy looks like a gun.

Two words.

Tim Lamb!!!

But I want both

And the ability to go back to drafts from 3 years ago and change our selections

Dunno if you heard Gawn in the media but he said this year reminds him of 2020
Hilarious now in hindsight because we tried to trade AnB and Tmac back then aswell.

 

[TheBoss]

So?

Mac Andrew is better right now and has a higher ceiling.

 

[Topkent]

So?

Mac Andrew is better right now and has a higher ceiling.

So he's not our player so who gives a shit

 

[Crusty Demon]

So?

Mac Andrews ceiling is ridiculous. Starting to show some serious signs this season. I do love JVR, but Mac is on another level in regards to potential. Hey, might end up JVR is the better player. Who knows, but I don't think anyone would be complaining if we had Mac over JVR. I am worried some of these interstate kids are looking at ANB and Trac getting toey on leaving and wondering if it's a move they could make soon enough. McVee, Riv, Koz, and JVR hugely important to our future.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Yall speak in guarantees like AFL hasn't chewed up and spat out promising players before through bad luck, mismanagement or own stupidity

Now if you will so graciously scroll to the second sentence of my post, you'll stumble across the point I was making and answer your own question

[dazzledavey36]

Season over for Oliver

 

[Scythe]

Season over for Oliver

Gawn really wasn't kidding when he said we'd be trying to win the last two games

 

[Dancing Potato]

Season over for Oliver

Great. Now give Kynan Brown a run for two full games.

 

[Topkent]

Great. Now give Kynan Brown a run for two full games.

Nek minnut in comes Billings

 

[booshboy]

Injury update saying May is a chance to come back. **** me dead.

 

[Topkent]

Can't give Trac everything he wants all at once, too much damn power!

 

[Dancing Potato]

I just don't understand why we would bother.

Put Petty down back, give Jefferson a taste of it and go from there.
