Preview Round 17 Changes and pre-match discussion vs. Geelong @ GMHBA

[Hearts to hearts]

Weird sub choice. However- Cunners, Goldy and Ziebell fit but omitted from the first team, the times they are certainly a-changing.

 

[cybercrab]

Lmac should've been dropped for atleast one match

 

[Twangler]

I can’t see a big loss coming up at least. On paper, that is one of the weaker Geelong sides I’ve seen in many years

 

[viccles]

Next week Corr and McDonald

 

[king rising]

Wrong thread I know, but if Cunners doesn’t get a fare well game of some sort I will deadset riot…

 

[tales129]

McDonald getting dropped a bad look?

It’s the perfect reason to have two captains. If he isn’t up to it he gets dropped. Look at port, Jonas is in the ******* twos

 

[Souup]

I really like Phillips and Bergman but I think it's worth them going back to the seconds to find form.

We need to consider life after Goldy and Ziebell and the latter has been particularly poor in recent weeks.

With that said, love the changes.

 

[Bush Kanga]

Love the changes too. It’s good these blokes are not just picked for the sake of it but forcing their way in with good form. Also gives us an opportunity to figure out who will be on the list next year.

 

[The Nostradamus]

First time in his 270 games that Ziebell has been dropped (although some would argue being sub is not dropped)

Good changes

 

[hellas_johnny]

Good to see young finally back next step is to get Dawson into the team

 

[tazaa]

At least we're trying something different with our defenders, only took 12 losses in a row.

13 losses HOF

 

[Frank Thring]

this must be the youngest team we've fielded for some time

 

[The Nostradamus]

next week
powell/goater in for young
phillips in for greenwood

 

[Shagga is all Class]

At least we're trying something different with our defenders, only took 12 losses in a row.

To be fair, the club seems to have given all our contracting ending in 2023 players a run.

This includes the backline with Bonar, Ziebell, Hall, Young, McKay and Perez at different times. I think Dawson is the exception.

 

[Horizons_00]

Huge axe swing. Goldy and Zeebs would have never been dropped in the past.

I love it. Got to try something different.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Huge axe swing. Goldy and Zeebs would have never been dropped in the past.

I love it. Got to try something different.

goldys been dropped before (and also wasn't included in round 1 this year)

ziebell hasnt tho

 

[Harveysuth]

Goldy and Ziebell gone feels like a line in the sand moment

 

[Horizons_00]

Have we ever had a game in 2023 where we have led the tackle count?

We’re not going to get close if we bring this s**t from last week



And our defence hopefully gets a kick in the ass from this s**t

 

[Heaps of fun]

13 losses HOF

I checked out last week.

 

[tazaa]

I checked out last week.

The fact its gonna be 14 is just deflating

 

[zoomba23]

The ins are good but a few of the outs are head scratchers. Young should really be in LMac's place, Corr should be out for a mid. If JZ comes on as the sub and we have all of him, Perez, LMac, Young, Corr, McKay and Logue running around, it's going to be comical watching inside our defensive 50

 

[Petrie4PM]

VERY HAPPY TO SEE SOME KIND OF MENTAL CHANGE HAPPENING WITH SELECTION

But, would be happier if Bergman stays in and we send mcdonald/corr a message.

otherwise, step in the right direction. I love Goldie, he looks tired though.

Next week, drop ONE of Corr/McDonald and I will be so happy. Looks like i'm still fisting my ass for now though.

 

[Gasometer]

JZ as a tactical sub.

Surely Forward?

 

[justroyal]

this must be the youngest team we've fielded for some time

Next minute from Bard Scott.

‘It’s actually not the youngest side NMFC has fielded for some time’

 

[KekiRoo]

At least we're trying something different with our defenders, only took 12 losses in a row.

Can't rush these things.
