Preview Changes vs. Sydney

[Bluelegs]

If we are dropping Tmac on form then just play him forward at Casey and see if he can recapture the 2018 magic.

 

[PerfectFooty]

This has a very similar vibe to when we dropped Tomlinson for Petty in Geelong after Tomlinson actually strung some good footy together, Petty came in and played shit and we rightfully lost

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Swans playing all of Grundy, Ladhams and McLean. McLean probably the full time forward. Wonder how often that’s happened.

 

[Headless]

Head-scratcher.

 

[Daemon]

Crazy Goody at it again. What a buffoon

 

[Demon13304]

Eh I'm actually a bit relieved cos I thought for a second they were gonna do a 3 tall forward + Fritsch setup which has hardly ever worked for us

 

[melbun]

So goody drops T Mac instead of May.

May needs some encouragement. Whereas Tmac os playing too well.

My Lever prediction is 2 unnecessary tug on the jumper's to Hayden Mclean

resulting in 2 goals, 3 dumb 'look at the replay''s showing clear free's and 2 goals conceded due to either a deliberate rushed behind under no pressure or not giving the ball back in time.

All in the meantime, barking at our young players for picking the wrong option. but yeah, future captain.

Lever being a bad captaincy option is one thing we both agree on lol

haha, what's your reasoning? Who do you want as the next captain, post-Gawn?

I honestly don't know who. Probably would be a stop gap like Petracca for a year. I can't think of anyone else, Rivers?

Just think third-talls with playing unaccountable roles shouldn't be made captains in general, especially when they're prone to massive brain fades. Thought similarly with Sicily at Hawthorn.

Yeah, they would probably be my main candidates. Reckon Rivers might be the long-term option, but nobody really stands out.

By the time Gawn is done though, Trac will probably be a bit old. Love Trac, but not sure he's really the captaincy type anyway given how he can still drop his head a bit sometimes when things aren't going well.

 

[Bluelegs]

Maybe trying to work over Gawn. Remember Buckley tried to do that once and Gawn had one of his best games ever.

 

[mrmonkey]

Head-scratcher.

 

[jhong]

T-Mac not picked for Casey .

 

[schmuttt]

T-Mac not picked for Casey .

Yeah so he has been managed but they said omitted? wtf

 

[Daemon]

T-Mac not picked for Casey .

Ran over Goody's cat, won't ever play again.

 

[Lord Nev]

T-Mac not picked for Casey .

Laurie and Culley both named in the 18, so it could just mean TMac is the designated emergency? Wait and see I guess.

 

[Headless]

Had a dream last night that we lost to Geelong by one point. We had been up by 20-30 points at one stage, and conceded a goal in the last 30 seconds to lose it.

I wonder if I was seeing the future. Pretty unlikely give we're not even playing Geelong, but I wouldn't put it past them.

I've seen this one before.

 

[Jamurp]

Wouldn’t mind putting an end to Sydney’s season, sick of them, stink it up in grand finals, they can go get their marquee player before everyone in in Sydney forgets about them.

We probs lose though having said that lel.

 

[Lord Nev]

AFL player rating points for this season...

TMac - 9.62
May - 7.04 (Just below Sparrow and just above Billings)

 

[stEdy]

Tmac has been our most reliable defender this year.

Hate this call, unless it's to manage him being an older body but even then saying he's omitted is dumb.

I doubt Lever will perform first up after missing so much footy. Feels like a bad decision.

 

[jhong]

Not surprised he rushed Lever back in , not based on his game at Casey . Either T-Mac is the sub, or someone is 50/50 for the match tomorrow. If its just being managed , then why not say so ?

 

[stEdy]

Hope May is still proppy and we are playing funny buggers to pull him late again and bring Tmac back in

 

[Lord Nev]

Laurie and Culley both named in the 18, so it could just mean TMac is the designated emergency? Wait and see I guess.

TMac definitely not playing for Casey, was at the captain's run today according to Demonland track watchers.
