Preview Round 14 changes v dogs @marvel Sunday 4:40pm before the bye

[Gasometer]

Get a kick?

Get a goal

 

[Gasometer]

Crazy that our best player is out but this is close to the strongest team we’ve had all year. Will Phill, George, Jy, and TT starting mids

Half a glass full of gun mids

Half a glass full of meh backs

 

[HongKongRoo]

Surely Spicer and Hall out.
Turner had a day out in the twos a couple of weeks ago so maybe he is playing with a bit more confidence. There may be a role for him.
Curtis will continue to be in and out until he can be more consistent at AFL level. No problem with that.
Corr in? Why? He kind of just plays Jacks role but not as well. His best is not as damaging as Hall. Would prefer to have seen Perez who played a good game in the twos or Dawson come in. Geez I hope rats is not being influenced by the argument that senior players should play because they are senior players argument. Take a look at Port, the captain is down on form, he doesn't play. Selection on merit please.

 

[Tas]

That is the ploddiest bench of all time named... to play against the Dogs.

I don't really care who comes in or out but the balance seems a bit off. The fresh dinosaur legs of Corr last week was a real master stroke.

 

[Sillygit]

If Turner plays, I’ll switch to Gold Coast.

The way you've been posting sounds like you're just lookin for any excuse.

 

[groo]

I watched the twos last week. Turner got the ball given to him by his team-mates in the first quarter because he was an AFL player. He then pretty much butchered the ball. After the first quarter he was nowhere to be seen. Howe was a stand-out for the first 3 quarters. Lazzarro was everywhere but it was pretty much run and gun, no poise. Curtis was pretty much always rushed. Perez backed himself in in the second half and looked much better with run and carry and Dawson did the same. In Dawson's case the ball never went in to the defensive 50 in the first quarter so his Stats are actually better than they read. I would think his Stats all came the last 3 quarters.
I haven't looked at a stat sheet so I'm not sure what I saw would be reflected in the Stats.
One thing I do know is that Turner shouldn't be called up ion the back of that match.

Yeah.. because a club that has 2 straight spoons and eleven straight losses that picks Kayne Turner gives a person no excuses. I’m clutching at straws, I’m literally looking for any reason.

Yeah but don’t question decisions or the direction we’re going. We’ve got the A team in charge now now, so everything they do is a hallowed pearl from the Lord, success is inevitable, and who are we to say otherwise.

I’m not watching this horsesh!t, not one minute

If you're gonna take a break mate, why come on here and continue to spout crap about the club. How does that help anything, your own mental state included?

 

[RobZombie]

This is in the conversation for the worst takes of all time.

Lighten up Debbie Downer.

 

[Clarke is King]

Lighten up Debbie Downer.

2 days and thats all you could come up with? Come on Robert

[The Nostradamus]

Lol spicer still in

At least hall out

Looks like corr gets one of the 3 talls

leavin Ziebell to seagull it across defence

 

[cybercrab]

Not bad, hopefully our small forwards step up. So happy to see Ziebell playing without Hall

 

[hotchilli]

Will be interested to see how we use likes of Sheez & TT this week with the extra midfield options back in.

 

[HBFlanker]

Ins: Simpkin, LDU, Perez,
Outs: Hall, Spicer, Bergman (Rest), Tucker

B: Corr, Mckay, Ziebell
HB: Mcdonald, Logue, Sheezel
C: Scott Simpkin Shiels
HF: Thomas CCJ Stephenson
F: Curtis Larkey Zurhaar
FO: Goldstein LDU Wardlaw

INT: Perez Powell Phillips Ford
Sub: Greenwood

Corr into the starting 22. Dogs will go big with Naughton, JUH, Lobb. Mcdonald onto Weightman.

How good does that forward line look! Need Curtis and Stephenson to actually tackle though and it will become extremely dangerous.

Looking forward to seeing how the midfield mix works of LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Phillips, Powell, Thomas. Genuinely exciting.

Greenwood sub as he can play anywhere on the ground. Tucker stiff but there's actually a bit of a selection squeeze here.

So close, but i genuinely think our team this week is as good as it has been in a long long time.

Cautiously optimistic. We absolutely owe these pricks

 

[viccles]

Tucker for sub

 

[Shinboner '07]

Spicer again, seriously….

At least hall is out

 

[hotchilli]

Tucker for sub

Looks like it's Turner judging from the VFL side.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sub will be either turner or bergman

Tucker named in vfl side but not mentioned as an in unless they made a typo (as turner was not listed as an out from the vfl side)

And that should be the last we ever see of hall

 

[zoomba23]

Corr, Ziebell, McKay and Logue in the same 22. Christ
