Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Carlton and Changes for R2 vs GWS

[Rubber Hips]

Hope you are right, but know you are wrong.
jake brings plenty of what none of us can see or identify and will be a lock.

lol…agree it’s a mystery

 

[Truetiger]

Aarts, Most likely in his contract must get a game every week no matter what.

 

[sante]

Aarts won’t be dropped. I agree he shouldn’t play in the midfield because he’s horrible in there but his performance wasn’t worthy of being dropped.

I’d have him as the sub if I picked the team

He played all year last year and was average at best in all of them.
He shouldn’t be playing at all. He’s not the future and should not be on the list full stop.

Can only be that the club values what he does when he/we don’t have the ball over how often he gets it and how effective he uses it.

I think that is misguided especially as we have too many poor users of footy in team in a time when ball use is king.

Only positive is he doesn’t get the ball often enough to hurt us even more.

Only selecting the current players still going.

Exactly. I don’t agree with it but Dimma has said many times, we value different things to most other clubs. Aarts obviously does something right

I wish somebody would tell us what it is.

Dimmer definitely doesn't like diving/ducking campaigners

I reckon we have turned down several "good" players due to their tapes showing they were heavily influenced by the umps and joel selwood

 

[RFCGloryJC]

10 day break hopefully will see WebKam ready to go.
Will be good to set the Giants at 0-2.

if toby greene is suspended from playing with the giants is he allowed to play for us ?

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I did a loose predictor of winning teams and total wins after round two.
Should only be five teams with two wins.
In 2017, we were 5-4.
Dogs 1 (Blues 1)
Syd 2 (Cats 1)
Pies 2 (Crows 0)
Lions 2 (Ess 0)
Power 1 (Haw 1)
Dees 2 (GC 0)
North 1 (WC O)
Rich 1 (GWS 0)
Freo 2 (StK 0)

are we gonna win the 2022 flag ?

once he grabbed dustys footy when he should have blocked for him and ditto for cotch too. mucked it up both times....he's got to go...back in the two's he'll be fine as a ball hog and kicking his 2 or 3g and getting 20-25p

 

[RFCGloryJC]

We should be around 5-5 at round 10.
Not dissimilar to 2017.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Aarts is not really the issue.
It was a terrible final quarter, destroyed in the centre clearances.
A seven goal turnaround.
It can't be pinned on Arts as the principal cause.
Will be good to knock off GWS, who have mental demons at the G, build momentum into playing the Sainters.

flag is ours

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Important to knock off GWS because they have the easybeat Suns in round 3.

 

[DontArgue4]

There was vision of bolton leaving the track early pointing to his groin area on the news

Really hope its nothing or we are very ****ed

 

[TigerImposter]

Another thing to mention was that at the end of last season many posters on here were saying we were tired and the past late finishes into the season had worn us down. Elite professionals never get tired and especially tired of winning. We were cooked bc of age and that's incurable.

 

[wegetpumped]

Dimmer definitely doesn't like diving/ducking campaigners

And AARTS is? he spends more time diving on the ball and looking at umps than any other I have seen. Seriously totally useless if Parker could only kick straight he would be so far in front of him that it's not funny. I said at the start if the team consists of any of Castagna and Aarts we are done. So far 1-0

 

[robin kennedy]

Fans have been calling for this to happen for 3 years whenever Jack or lynch miss and it hasn't happened once. Can't see that changing.

Then why is he still on the list? If he is not wanted try another player/kid, waste of a spot. I say this without knowledge of his contract which may impact the decision, but if unwanted or trouble surely we cut our losses.

 

[_RT_]

So who are the 3-4 inside mids that are banging on the door and going to replace him and the others who played inside that he was better than in Rnd 1 .
Yep he was like all well down on form.

Which inside mids was Cotchin better than?

Also nobody is saying to drop him this week, more asking the question of how long do we carry someone whose output isn't at the level that we've come to expect.

It's a fairly simple question that should be asked of any player not just Cotchin.
