Unofficial Preview Round 14 2020 vs Port Adelaide

[The King!]

Can we ever get COR and Clarke both banished
How’s Reid survive

oh well doesn’t Matter at this stage

 

[SSwans2011]

Clarke is slow AF and his lack of awareness kills our momentum.

He's probably in to do a tagging role. Yippee

We looked tired and had legitimately no run last week. We know Clarke will run all day.

 

[Kapers]

IN - Aliir, Clarke, McInerney
OUT - Stephens, Foot, O'Riordan

**** me why bother with Clarke

And why drop Stephens? If he needed a rest would probably have been better to do it after one of the shorter breaks we have coming up

Maybe the wanted him to play out the last 4
Probably brought Clarke in for Stephens

 

[kickthething]

Would have prefered McLean in for Reid but that was a pipe dream

Glad to see McInerney in again though. Hope Clarke does some good things this week

McInenrney brings some speed and will be good to see how he fronts after an extended break...Allir back good signs for him in any case.

Lloyd 150, good on him hope he continues his run of form

But does nothing with his run? What's the point? Doesn't use it well, turns it over, gets tackled all the time and doesn't tackle himself.

It's rubbish. Sports scientists giving this bloke a career

Season can just hurry up and finish

I take it as Aliir for COR, McInerney for Stephens and Clarke for Foot.

That’s how I’d read it.

Ball travels faster by kicking than running anyway

I'm not happy with the changes tbh. Stephens didn't deserve to be dropped, his effort has been first rate in recent weeks.

Wouldn't have played McInerney against a side like Port.

Wouldn't have played Clarke at all.

Would've dropped Reid.

Of course I have my favourites. Who doesn't. We all watch the game and decide for ourselves who can play and who can't.

'No don't post anything that proves my baseless hatred for some players and love for others wrong!'

Bet you thought Foot's 4 touches were great last week after how you fawned over him the week before too. I notice how you don't tend to s**t on performances from certain players like you do Clarke...

I did not fawn over him. Huge difference between a player with minimal impact and a player whose impact can border on a calamity.

If Clarke somehow puts in a worse performance than Foot last week, I'll buy a Hawthorn membership.

 

[The King!]

Clarke getting touches is too our detriment
teams let him get it

You must already have the Hawthorn family membership by now then

It's cool, mate. I get it, Clarke ran over your dog and Foot helped you take him to the vet.

Clarke in the team is too our detriment

 

[caesar88]

Why are you taking so much joy in my suffering

Let me sulk about selection like a petulant child please

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So somehow Stephens gets dropped and yet Reid survives just lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Clarke is bog ordinary and that's a compliment to his ability. The quicker we move on from these list cloggers the better

 

[Millky95]

Stephens is in his first year with strange long breaks and 4 day turns and the like. He has only been playing 70% game time with shorter quarters. Was due for a rest.

And would you rather Clarke or Taylor to come in for that spot? And don't ******* say neither as they are the next two on the list of common midfield rotations

 

[SGBeach]

The last two games Paps has played in the midfield.. Clarke in the team may allow Papley to play forward..

TOG is a big factor IMO. Makes it harder to leave someone like Papley forward all game when we have a midfielder that is only on for three quarters of the match.

dixon and rozee up forward are gna have a field day
