Preview Rd 14: Changes & prematch discussion vs Western Bulldogs

[Colbys Boots]

Honestly I've been impressed with how long we have refused to select Hrovat considering he was a player we traded for.

Worth noting he was never officially omitted from the team on form. He was officially replaced due to injury and then it appears he was forced to earn his spot back in the AFL due to his replacement stepping up.

Tackling in the forward 50 is not something that stands out for any of ours players this year.

My only issue with him is the fact that this season, as you say, he can’t kick 40 metres. He was able to kick 40 metres in 2014. I haven’t noticed anything particularly “fumbly” about him to be honest, but I’ll agree to disagree with you on that.

The fumbly stuff was more here and there during games, it isn't a major problem, but if you see him fumbling, he's going to have an average day.

Brown, wood etc don’t really tackle

I expect Zeebs to kick a bag this weekend

Any stats on pressure acts inside F50? Tackling only doesnt say all that much.

I think hartung might be a late in - wake up call heeded.

If Turner didn’t play another game - he would be a legend by the sounds of some of the bullshit being spoken here

Dig it up...

Would of gone with Willy Walker.

wouldn't run out the match. still gets lots of bench time in 2s

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Watched Narrier a few times. Could become a great player. Bit of silk but needs at least another year and not quit the small forward pressure player I would think

Same here. He's a mile off. Needs a pre-season and 10 kilos ...

 

[Caracas]

I look forward to the day Willy Wonka lines up for us. However, I see it being next season unless we have a wholesale 2016-like injury crisis.

At least Goldy doesn't have to worry about facing up to Tom Campbell.

Got a footscray supporting mate at work, he reckons that Higgo and the Rat should still be able to play for them tomorrow, thus making it 20 vs 16, just to give 'em a chance

Trengove gave goldy a touch up last season- so we can’t take his lightly.

Think that’s why they brought so many kpd in

Well Ryder who is over 10cm shorter than Gawn matched it with him today, maybe even beat him.

 

[Yoko and me]

Hrovat's neither here nor there, so focusing on him detracts from the overall picture. The whole side is out of balance. It's as if the side was selected with a defensive mindset.

We have 3 talls sitting in the backline, of which one may only get a proper match-up at any given time, yet we have made it piss easy for the dogs to double team Brown.

Take this side in to next weeks game v the scum and we are going to get slaughtered in the air.

I just don't get it. All I can conclude is that Waite is fit, rested, and will be straight back in next week, and that's why they haven't brought in another tall forward this week.

No match up = daw goes forward

Please come alone.

SPB22, well we came, we saw, we conquered I thought she was going to stuff it up again, Mrs Whereitallbegan finally broke the string of bad luck and saw us win the first time, sang the club song (well i did, with what was left of my voice), she didn't know the words.
