Preview No Changes vs Saints

[Kane McGoodwin]

Sweet Jesus. Phil somehow keeps getting worse.

Kept around to make others look smart but not working!

 

[ltdamn]

I feel a little bit sick

 

[BACCS]

The only guy I thought would go out is Pets, but it seems a bit pointless replacing him with CEY as they play completely different roles. I have a feeling Grigg will be the sub.

 

[Bailey01]

It looks definitely that Matty Crouch won't be the sub

 

[BACCS]

If the same thing happens this week and the team remains unchanged for the following week I'll be joining in with you.

Surely people can understand why he's done this for the saints game tho.

Yeah, it makes more sense this week than it would have after the thrashing against Port. Also, Sando stuck with guys like Porps for 2 weeks, seems to be the treatment Pets will get as well.

 

[BACCS]

The only change I wanted was petrenko.

Who else would people call for? Reilly wasn't flash but we know he is, for some reason, almost an instant selection.
No one really stood out to be dropped, even though we played so poorly.

Could have replaced Reilly with CEY I guess, but I think until someone like Hendo is back, Radar will play.

 

[Kraven]

God it would be funny if Pup kicks the winning goal.

Hopefully the same reaction from Saints fans as well. The guy with the finger up, people with their mouths wide open and the fat kid who looks like he's crying. Classic

 

[jackster83]

Why can't we at least give Petrenko a few small bursts in the midfield?

He's been playing there in the SANFL side. We lack pace in the mid and his wobbly kicking won't hurt as bad as long as he puts it out in front.

 

[BACCS]

The meltdowns over Grigg and Brown last night were pretty hilarious reading

He got a few short bursts in there last week and went ok, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a couple of stints again.

 

[BACCS]

I still don't think Steven will play. How long since he's played a game of footy?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Well it was a bit strange to name them in the reserves starting 18 if they were going to play. If they were on the bench then the meltdowns may not have occurred but having them on the field certainly vented some spleens (mine included).

Even if he does, he will be massively underdone just like Ryan Griffens first 2 weeks back for the dogs.

Surely people on here had to realise 5 of our AFL 22 were named in the SANFL starting 18 side (which funnily enough the Saints did as well, and only one poster bothered to mention it)? It was fairly bloody obvious.

 

[Wright Away]

It is a bit bullshit that Petrenko is in the side this week, it isn't even indigenous round.

 

[BACCS]

Yeah good point, an article earlier in the week said he was still at least a week away, so he definitely can't be fully match fit.

Sando giving him a last chance before his papers getting stamped

Brown and Grigg are obviously closer to being dropped than any of the other players in the 22. Otherwise Petrenko, Mackay, Reilly... would have been named in the SANFL team.

So yeeha... they weren't dropped after all. We've avoided a selection disaster for perhaps one more week.

Need to get used to how the reserves team works because when we didn't have one, those who were named for their aligned SANFL clubs pretty much meant that they would be dropped.

Of course. What other possible conclusion could you draw?

 

[Bailey01]

I'm not sure what the selection panel is on tbh. Petrenko, Reilly obviously closer, any normal person would think.

 

[Bailey01]

So what's happening is Thommo, Kedge and Grigg training tommorrow to prove their fitness for Sunday before the SANFL team play where the emergencies are named in?

 

[Wright Away]

The Crows selection policy (or lack of)

 

[Mattrox]

Yet, we dropped none.

Find out how many teams win after making 5 changes.

Making shit loads of changes after making 5 is going around in circles.

I don't get why Pets is selected but I do get why they are trying for minimal changes this week.

I also findbit funny that this morning everyone is shitty because Grigg is dropped. Then when he isn't they are still shitty. Smells like people just want to be shitty.
