Preview R14: Changes vs. Hawthorn Hawks

[Crowked]

If you’re one of those developing young mids in our squad, you’d have to be looking around the league for options after being overlooked for Murphy. Seriously, this might be the worst selection they could possibly make. This coach is holding us back.

 

[RePete]

Nicks is going to play him through the midfield isn't he....

 

[thebirdman 24]

Wtf Nicks.

He has somehow done it again.

Smith the other week, now Murphy this week. We can all see how the next few weeks will go.

Pedlar to go out for Peatling next week, then Crouch to come in after 1 SANFL game for Soligo or something ridiculous.

 

[treeman]

Not sure what I'm more frustrated with more right now.

Murphys selection or Prime not working to broadcast the cricket.

Is it happening to anyone else?

I just have a black screen with subtitles no sound.

 

[hugecannon]

We should be thankful that our list managers don't allow any more senior player options for selection.

Below are our oldest 19 players.

The only three not in the team are the back up rucks, and the back up ruck/forward (rookie), and Crouch (in before injured).

13	Walker, Taylor	290	35yr 1mth
33	Smith, Brodie	265	33yr 4mth
29	Laird, Rory	259	31yr 5mth
5	Crouch, Matt	164	30yr 1mth
43	O'Brien, Reilly	134	29yr 9mth
45	Strachan, Kieran	7	29yr 8mth
21	Burgess, Chris R	43	29yr 6mth
28	Neal-Bullen, Alex	189	29yr 5mth
2	Keays, Ben	149	28yr 3mth
12	Dawson, Jordan	144	28yr 2mth
30	Milera, Wayne	112	27yr 8mth
20	Hinge, Mitchell	77	26yr 11mth
44	Cumming, Isaac	94	26yr 10mth
4	Murphy, Lachlan	116	26yr 6mth
32	Fogarty, Darcy	114	25yr 8mth
41	Butts, Jordon	81	25yr 5mth
1	Jones, Chayce	92	25yr 4mth
38	Sholl, Lachlan	79	25yr 3mth
48	Keane, Mark	44	25yr 2mth
23	Rankine, Izak	96	25yr 1mth

Of our 7 oldest players it’s legit possible that 6 of them will not be on our list next year !

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would’ve been a great week to play him on Ginnivan or Watson. But no…

Absolutely to lock down on the wizard.

Could then use Hinge as a midfielder.

 

[MrBarry]

Sadly he’ll be on the list for years to come while Nicks is here.

Dowling, Draper and in particular Edwards would be exceptionally frustrated with selections like this.

Fortunatley list management over the last few years have been taking that decision out of Nicks hands.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nicks is going to play him through the midfield isn't he....

Mitchell is currently pissing himself laughing...

 

[thebirdman 24]

2 kicks, 0.1, 1 OOF, 0 tackles, subbed at 3q time.

My tip - 11 disposals by 3QT with a few fans saying 'He hasn't actually been that bad' Then finishes with 12 disposals after a typical Murphy 4th quarter.

The thing that gives me the shits is that we know Murphy is terrible in general, but he is even more terrible away from home.

He is literally non existant when he can't get a home crowd umpire to give him a high free kick after a dive or duck.

 

[jo172]

Hopefully he wins a dodgy free and then feigns an injury to let a good player take the kick.

Play to his highest potential

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Last time likely cost us top two, this one might cost us top four.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Hopefully he wins a dodgy free and then feigns an injury to let a good player take the kick.

Play to his highest potential

Our luck next time would be ROB standing next to him.

 

[BRL121]

I'm not a melter, but I really don't get this one! Melt away.

To Kane McGoodwin, I reckon he is going to go into the midfield, not tag the Wizard.
If this is the case, then he will be straight out next week when Peatling reappears.

 

[George CantStandYa]

-2c tomorrow night ….

 

[Cyclonus]

His last 4 games against the Hawks he's averaged 13 disposals and 1 goal. If he got that would it be acceptable?

 

[MrBarry]

-2c tomorrow night ….

Murphy is an advocate of long sleeves as well, maybe that's why he is in.

My post was referring to picking Bond over Murphy.

 

[Smart Fella]

The biggest thing stopping us..... is us.

Unbelievable decision and yet at the same time, absolutely believable

You'll be writing this exact same thing in six months when Nicks gets re-signed.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

C9 news says the temp tomorrow will be -2deg.

 

[MrBarry]

If we win a premiership it'll be because of the players and talent, rather than any coaching.

Nicks last week, 'how do we win'> to the players at 3qtr time. The team then proceeds to smash the game open....

 

[MrBarry]

Would’ve been a great week to play him on Ginnivan or Watson. But no…

Ginnivan is bang average, I wouldn't be bringing a player in specifically to tag him.

 

[LiquidCrow]

I’ve never seen Bigfooty and Facebook in such alignment.

Quite surprised actually

You know it's a bad call when even Reddit agrees too.

 

[George CantStandYa]

C9 news says the temp tomorrow will be -2deg.

I reckon afl scheduled this game to prove they need a roof, madness otherwise

 

[chazwazza]

Working fine

 

[Syd Crow]

Yep the bloke is clueless

He's been given loads of clues but like Mr Magoo he walks right past them....
