Preview Changes vs West Coast

[119others]

i dont think he is quite ready DJ75. He needs to work on his short kicking over the break and on his tank and frame. He is a possible addition to our mids next year if he can keep his level of improvement going.

What’s his ceiling bigman? B+ type level like perhaps Shoey? Or higher / lower than this in your view?

 

[Trigger13]

Just play Nank, Cook and Dowling you drongos.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Perfect opportunity for Thilthorpe to gain some confidence against one of the worst sides.

Which is why it's great we didn't drop him.

Did we?

We didn't drop him against the worst side?

Opposite isn't relevant. He needs a rocket and deserved to be dropped.

B+??..

higher. Can easily become and A grader.

has more skill and talent in his little finger than laird, sloane, keays or murphy..

just needs to build his tank and get his body right.. which will help his consistency and have him stay in games longer.

shouldve been given a run this week in the AFL side in this dead rubber to give him a taste… let him take that and use it to drive him over summer.

yet another lost opportunity whilst we’ll have murph give us his usual garbage game instead.

Couldn't even give Dowling a well earnt debut in a dead rubber

Thilthorpe as sub, the moron strikes again.

Big open spaces of Optus, we could really do with extra run in that last qtr, oh hang on, we’ve gone with a forward/ruck.

Can the Nicks lovers please explain this?

 

[CrowinNT]

It’s been all over the media this week. 360 has shown it many times. After the game, bloodied face, complete look of surprise and mischievous grin

Thanks but I am in Darwin
I don’t tune into TV media click bait mostly
I am sure it’s all over SA but not a whisper here Live
I rely on reading reports and here
So that is why I asked

Maybe winning isn’t the sole focus in the final game of the year against one of the worst sides in living memory when we have nothing to play for.

Anyone else read it as they are thinking of trying Thilthorpe in a different position when he comes on?

Seriously, unless you are in the top (bottom) 5, does it really matter? We've had a dud at 6 before. Let's not sacrifice our players enthusiasm and will to win for the sake of an unknown. We need to win away. We need to finish on a high and make them hungrier. How awesome would it be to get Tex a coleman!

plus the priceless continuity carried into 2024.

It’s not difficult is it?

 

[conVINCEd]

We seriously making Nankervis the non-playing standby emergency for a second week in a row?

We sure know how to develop talent, eh.

 

[1970crow]

So you know the draft order on Hamish and his crew's draft board? It's highly probable it looks a fair bit different to the ratings being floated in here and in the media?

what relevance does that have to the argument that finishing lower provides a more powerful draft pick?

 

[Samcro24]

We’re so ******* dumb.

Look at Geelong. Put half the older heads on ice, nothing to play for.

Not us, no siree. We’ll pick the same side as we would if the season was alive, try our best to get the 4 points in Perth.

Hopefully he is all strapped up with boots on ready to go when required

Neil Craig has left a lasting legacy.

You are giving them too much credit

Look at the Cats clearing the decks this week now they are no longer in the premiership hunt.

 

[rocket18]

Only on paper at this point, the reality of that best judged 2 or 3 years down the track. It all comes down to the order on Hamish's draft board on draft night.

Oh s**t, we're getting another KPD aren't we.

 

[GROTTO]

I don't think Keays would have!
The more I think about this, I would have supported them not congratulating them because of the blatant gamesmanship involved in hitting the post and then all Swans players in the vicinity signalling "hit the post" to the ump, while Murphy was the only honest soul celebrating the goal in the square.

Keays was one of the first players to do this.

Big year next year 119. Needs to influence game more but he has a footy IQ which will stand him in good stead. He is a goal kicker too. Shoey is a B type player with potential. Billy can be similar if he puts the work in

I mean, it's not difficult to explain.

As usual, we've picked what we consider to be our best available 23 players, and put the one we have the least faith in as our sub.

There's no guile beyond that. No consideration of using the sub tactically, no thought given to allowing a young player to debut. Just, who are our best available players? Put them in.

 

[George Kramer]

Yeah, nah

 

[Gtowncrow]

Tom Hickey had a big cheesy grin on his face running away from the goal square....

Yep
Said it all really.
He knew what had just happened. Even had the same view as the umpire as I think he's the second Sydney player at the post.
