Preview Changes vs WCE

[Rod Stroker]

****in sell arden st and pay off some Victorian debt. Enough is enough

yeah because Vic pollies have shown they can be fiscally responsible

 

[Rod Stroker]

Out: The WA deal.

In: 11 home games.

Until that happens it doesn't matter who we roll out, we'll never win another premiership.

Hawks won 4 while playing in Tassie.

It was tongue in cheek.

 

[TheKanga]

Out: Logue, Fisher, Dawson, Hardeman, Larkey

In: Who cares

I’d drop the skipper, 100%

I'm not going to imply it was his fault we lost, because that's obviously not the case but Luke McDonald was the player standing closest to at least half of those goals. That's because Fremantle were actively looking to play through him all day long. It's not fair on him and it's not helping us any more.

I noticed that McDonald was chasing and trying to spoil or tackle about 5 or 6 different opponents who were taking shots today - in most cases arriving late or not quite getting there in time to tackle but Shirley they can’t have all been his direct opponents at the time?

It was as if our backline players chose to be nowhere near an opponent at any stage of the match.

Fremantle probably did try to attack through McDonald’s opponent as much as possible - it’s a legitimate tactic and would certainly bear fruit but let’s face it, Chom probably beats his opponent 30% of the time and Logue wasn’t within 10 metres of his opponent while the ball was in motion more than 2 or 3 times for the whole game. In fact he struggled to get to man the mark most of the time.

None of those three are equipped to play as KPDs and Pink is also nowhere near being the solution, so we’re stuffed, as we have been for years now.

Edit: I forgot about Dawson.

He might be a defender in a few years (hopefully for his sake and our’s) but he’s not a defender yet.

 

[TheKanga]

Yeah why not would be the ultimate statement at selection.

 

[Scottroo]

Ginbey just done his hammy for west coast

 

[tales129]

At least Larkey doesn’t have to play in Ginbey now.

 

[tales129]

Ginbey just done his hammy for west coast

Looked like ai McDonald v Rioli

 

[Ruckle]

Nothing will change if the players can’t stop a team walking it from one end to the other, on repeat.

Is it the game plan or the stupidity of our players

A little from column A and a little from B I fear...

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Ginbey just done his hammy for west coast

That’ll make them very vulnerable at least. Still haunted by Darling playing a blinder as a key defender when west coast were short on defenders. They won if I remember correctly.

 

[Harris 10]

Duursma averages 4 kicks, 2 handballs, 1 tackle and 1 goal a game

These numbers don’t warrant a position in the team.

 

[Spud11]

Griffin Logue for smiling and laughing with the opposition after that disgraceful effort. Does. Not. Care.

I wouldn’t just drop him, I’d delist him for that

Yeah. I don't know, I suspect it was intentional but only going off how it looked on the TV.

 

[TheKanga]

Why on earth are we favs in this one?
Feel like Eagles win is more likely.
We have been terrible away from Marvel this year.

 

[Fruity33]

Out: Hardeman (concussion)
In: Blamires

Nothing surer.

 

[Flawed Genius]

There's no way we drop Larkey or McDonald even though it's painfully obvious Larkey is in a mental gorge and McDonald is absolutely cooked physically and mentally

Fisher shouldn't ever play for the club again. It's wild that he was the best choice for this. It very much seems like he was given a free trip to WA because he is from there

I would say **** it and get Goater in. He's taped a few together at VFL level. One things for sure - where I have previously understood minimal charges for team chemistry and opportunities for redemption, there's no way they can justify not dropping a few from yesterday

We beat poorta. Poorta beat the wiggles. QED. We will win!

 

[kool kangas]

Any chance of sneaking Goad over .
