Preview Rd 21: Changes & prematch discussion vs Western Bulldogs

[Bigeasy]

Forget Gut Feels. Just read naturally north's posts and you'll soon get it. :stern look

I got it but my gut rejected it

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Higgo late out paying .99

How could you not like Bob? I like Morris too but Bob was likeable aswell

Bigfootyitis. "pretentious hipster double denim blah blah blah". I always found him likeable as a player.

 

[RobZombie]

Look, Bob is clearly a likeable guy. But I just don't love him as much as AFL360 and Fox Footy insist that we must love him. Does that make me a bad person?

Fair cop.

 

[blackshadow]

Have met Bob several times and he is a likeable bloke.

Am with LTK though with the view that Fox and the footy media in general make it hard to see Bob for the extraordinary amount of smoke they're trying to blow up his arse.

Did he train? If he trained he plays

Didn't see him train but I could only stay for the first half hour or so and Scott said he'd have a modified session. Could have come out later and they'll still have at least one more light run before the game. I'm sure he'll be in the 22 come this afternoon.

I stopped by training briefly on Wednesday and Higgo had been out on the track but did come off as I arrived, I didn't see if he had been doing drills or not or if he returned as I'd gone into the roo shop. He looked in great shape and spirits if that means anything.

Hey naturally north, what's next week's Powerball numbers? :stern look

 

[Kanga1996]

If I was a betting man I'd go interchange.....


Higgins, Clarke, Walker and McDonald. The rat to miss due to being replaced by Higgins, rat has done ok and we are now omitting a guy not based on form but we have a better option.

fwiw- I'm tracking 100% for team selection in 2018

Nice

I like that Walker stays in. Would not have been unhappy with Murphy for LMac. Would really have liked to see Luke's response to be dropped. Would show a little more about his character.

That is an extremely disingenuous post.

2 of the ins are best 22 returning from injury, one of the outs is due to injury.

Richmond are also sitting clear on top of the ladder and playing a cellar dwelling team. Chances of them losing are slight and even if they do they'll still be on top of the ladder.

We've had 4 of our top 12 players out recently, Waite, Higgo, BJ and Hartung.

We're still at least two players short of our best 22 and we're fighting to make the finals,we don't have the luxury of resting players.

If we had decent depth and were better placed on the ladder I'm sure we'd be rotating more players but we don't have that luxury.

We looked far from spent less that 2 weeks ago when we smashed West Coast.

Small quibble on a v good post, but Hartung isn't even close to our top 12. Feel like the cult of Billy has grown a touch too large since he did his hammy, and there's no doubt we're missing someone with his kind of outside run, but don't forget he was dropped the week he did it, and was in poor form for a good month beforehand. He's a very good runner but will never be more than a mediocre footballer.

Doesn't mean I dislike him or that he can't play a vital role in a side massively lacking run, but he's not a top 12 player at this or any club.

Would like LDU in as well.

But a definite improvement.

 

[nicko74]

LMac is very, very lucky IMO

That's the classic 'deliberate behind' where Firrito was being tackled and handballed the ball through the goals.

******* cockmuncher.

I reckon LDU would have played against a different side, but the Dogs killed us with their spread earlier this season, and St Kilda last week. He just can't cover enough ground to play with Cunnington and Ahern in such an important fixture.
