Unofficial Preview Round 2, 2019: Changes/pre-match discussion vs Brisbane Lions

[Kimbo]

I'm tipping a percentage booster.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Those changes. Wow.

One unforced change after an 80+ belting.

And it's a ruckman for a half forward?

Are you ******* kidding?

Ahern still out. Thomas still out.

Brad, you are a moron.

 

[Waussie]

Lol

At least if we lose this week the kids will get played

Famous last words

 

[mouncey2franklin]

I’m disappointed (not surprised) there weren’t more changes, and underwhelmed by the changes that were made. But wow, this thread contains some wild overreactions.

Yeah, I've been reading through it wondering, have I mellowed out in my older age, or is it simply that these guys are slowly losing their minds?

One round in, fellas. One round in. If you are going to panic after one bad game then you are following the wrong sport.

I don't know what sport suits people like you but I know that footy doesn't.

Unless of course you enjoy panicking. In which case, this is the sport (and team) for you

You want one of our best young prospects to break contract and leave because of a coach who will be gone in less than 2 years if he keeps going the way he is right now?

People who supposedly support this club shitting on its future because they are upset with the coach. Great.

This all started of the back of my comment. I was merely suggesting that if a player is feeling begrudged due to whatever reason he can just walk nowadays (think Beams). By no means do I want him to go anywhere, I want him happy and in the side.

On a positive note, I am taking my 3rd and youngest to her first game with the rest of the family, she can not wait until Sunday.

This thread is a tough read.

Is anyone else looking forward to this game? Footy's back, people!

 

[Snake_Baker]

Who would you drop for him to come in?

I already posted it earlier. Dumont.

 

[Hojuman]

Tipping late changes.

 

[Val Keating]

I just can't see the bounce this time. Leaving Ahearn out and using Dumont as a tagger? I though that they both finished last year as our best ball winners coupled with creative disposal. Two attributes most our on-ballers have neither of.

Yeah that’s baffling

I wouldn't be surprised if Bris bring in a small for a tall.

Leave the roof open l reckon.

 

[Smoocher]

Zorko looking good to be the first player in history to go 40 and 4.

Your not wrong.

If we lose by less than 20 points our percentage will improve by about 10%.

They aren’t coz we stupidly are playing 2 rucks and only 1 key forward

I hope youse have a great time. With plenty of celebrations at the end of the game.

(FWIW I don't understand why anyone would leave Ahern out either. Its very frustrating.)

 

[Colbys Boots]

Can’t agree with this. Our club is always on the knife’s edge in this national contention. If you want to have a team to support, I’m sorry but non-attendance isn’t an option.

Yes and as Ben Buckley says, "Wear your colours with pride." Because god knows, the players haven't been of late.

Brown and Ziebs will have to kick 10 between them as we drop off pretty quickly after that. I would have persisted with Wood or played Larkey. Sending Wood back to the magoos after 1 game?? not sure

Brad, you are a moron.

I am absolutely gobsmacked but I am also not surprised. the reality is after such a insipid performance, we have literally made one change as I don't count the EVW change as this was forced. I thought the whole point of getting depth into the team was to put pressure on players to perform or find themselves in the VFL? I guess that's why I am not a coach and Brad Scott is. What would I know.

I have more chance of getting laid than Brad Scott making wholesale changes. And to put that into perspective, Rocky Dennis is getting more action than I am at the moment.

 

[Long Live the King]

Tom Campbell

The Campbell pic is interesting......drop a forward and replace with a ruck...so is the intent to run Martin off his feet or rest a ruck up forward to divert height from Brown.....the lions will be in panic mode at the moment.

Dumont will go to zorko. He actually did alright on Fyfe. If Fyfe doesnt get undisputed best on, you've done well.

 

[The acurate one]

Can't agree with that. Laids squeezed blood from a heavy, chipped, and moss covered stone which arguably helped to save the club.

Scott has... Well, I would say our list is infinitely better. And a lot of non-gameday things have improved DRASTICALLY, but not sure how much of that is because of Scott. We've pretty much been mid-table with Scott the whole time. Treading water. Basking in the fact we still exist and rarely looking like trying to reach for more (other than in puff pieces and 3-4 games a season where we play like we are the best in the comp). I used to really like Scott. Often had issues with his selection policies and some of his tactics, but the players clearly seemed to like him and he seemed respected in the industry. But we haven't achieved ******* dick with him and he doesn't seem to be ******* improving as a coach. Urgh.

LOL- I love the passion- I reckon Ahern will be a late in. imo of course.
