Opinion Round 22 Changes vs. Brisbane

[mike91]

Why Suban and not Morabito or even Ballard? They are playing better footy than him.

Ballard is a rookie and we've already elevated Menagola.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

I haven't deleted any posts. Hard to know which one you are talking about though.

You know exactly what I am talking about. Flog. No wonder you are a Sylvia fanboi.

So you think we'll drop a ruckman for Ballantyne? We'll drop a key defender for Ballantyne?

And why do you feel it necessary to bag unrelated Fremantle players in every post? Are you even a Freo fan?

Stop twisting my words, at no stage did I post who would come in for those I listed as more likely to be dropped than Mayne. Although yes, I do think Silva (not Sylvia who is a flog) is more likely to be dropped for Ballas than Mayne, because Mayne would be equally effective and dangerous down back.

I'm Freo from the very first game. Unlike Sylvia, who has never been Freo, just an employee. With no heart.

And you say I have no credibility. Possibly the most ridiculous comment so far in this thread, and that's saying something.

First accurate thing you've posted in years. Yes, you have no credibility, and yes, prior to today's game, Mayne has been better than Mundy in each of the prior three games.

A week ago you found my opinion that we should pick a 2nd tall so ridiculous that you made this post:



Evidently you find picking Sylvia ridiculous, and you also found my suggestion to pick a 2nd tall ridiculous. And now here you are praising Taberner as if you've completely forgotten that you didn't rate him at all last week.

The following ***** liked your post:

pavsbootlace, BeinPurplenGreen, Silverim,
salim malik
Clems Knee

You, and the others mentioned in that post should probably not post in these threads any more, given how stupendously wrong you normally are.

It's actually kind of sad that you think you have any ground from which to criticise me. ****.

Playing Tabs was a good move, but suggesting Mayne didn't have a good game wasn't.

Can do "de-elevate" a player?

The development of Neale and Mzungu has been what has kept Sylvia out of the team more than anything. When he was recruited, I don't think anyone expected those 2 to come on as much as they have. He's got a tough job ahead of him to crack a spot in our midfield next season, since I doubt he'll be tried as a goalsneak again.

Sylvia is what is keeping Sylvia out of the side;

Sylvia, lured west as a free agent on a three-year deal believed to be worth $1 million, needed to "go back and deliver actions that will build trust within the match committee that will select him and, more importantly, his teammates," Lyon said on Melbourne radio.

"He's played a certain way for a long time and he needs to shift, because we're not bending to Col.

"Col will bend to us. He knows that and he understands that."

And BTW, I am not a "Sylvia fanboy". I just find the attitude of supporters like you to recruits from other teams to be very distasteful. You've repeatedly bagged Sylvia (someone you have never met) on this board since his arrival at the club. That's not really what you like to see from supporters. You're probably one of those who still abuses Dawson at games, calls for D. Pearce to be dropped every week, and yells out "JUST KICK IT" all day. In other words, a complete feral idiot.

I'm Freo from the very first game. Unlike Sylvia, who has never been Freo, just an employee. With no heart.

I'm just quoting the above so you can't delete it and hide your poor behaviour when the penny drops.

 

[332docker]

Out:
Duffy (just cause he's had 2 games as sub and needs full game time in wafl), neale(butched the ball at crucial times today, might need dropping like subs and deboer to fire him up)
In:
Balla, subs (or deboer)

Cros to sub

Liked tabs game, reckon he helps our fwd structure today, worth persisting

Hurry up and show the replay Foxtel!!

Last weeks changes thread, where most of the board bags me for saying we should play Taberner. Including Salim Malik, theGav556 etc.

No, I bagged you for saying we should play some nameless 2nd tall forward. You didn't have the guts to name Taberner as the man you thought should get the nod. And the implication that to simply play any random tall fixes a significant structural issue is banal and shallow thinking.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Duffy - Ballaz
Fyfe - Mora

 

[willoblue]

I wouldn't of thought that point would be now, considering he just played a great game.

he is also handy in that he can cover down back in case of emergency

Poor behaviour, yes that's me.

And for the record, I have not only "met" Sylvia, I know him far, far better than you ever will.

Hence my view about him and his behaviour at Freo.

And you go right on ahead and quote and report and thrash away little boy, I've never threatened anyone (unlike you), nor have I ever disparaged the disabled nor the infirm.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Dropping Neale is a big no for mine. Last couple weeks when we needed to get back on top in the middle he has been crucial. He often doesn't get the clearance but he is in there bogging it up and scrapping hard so Barlow, Mundy and Fyfe can move it. He's a lock IMO.

I've got no idea to be honest. I'd be surprised though.

 

[mike91]

You didn't record it? Rookie mistake.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

I've got no idea to be honest. I'd be surprised though.

when a player gets off the LTI list, doesn't the elevated player goes back to the rookie list?

 

[mike91]

Ahh yep, you're right.

 

[Taylor]

You didn't record it? Rookie mistake.

You will laugh at me but..

... I had this feeling that if I recorded it or checked the score in any way that we would lose..

Crazy girl logic but hey, I was right.

 

[malpaso]

Duffy - Ballaz
Fyfe - Mora

Yep spot on. Ballas will come in for Duffy and if Fyfe is rubbed out then Mora comes in and is the sub.

 

[YelloMit]

RTB said that Ballas should be an in next week, so probably Duffy out.

If Fyfe is suspended (which looks most likely), then bring in Morabito or de Boer. If not, then keep Fyfe and make maybe Crozier sub.

FF: Walters, Taberner, Ballantyne
HF: Crozier, Pavlich, Mayne
C: Hill, Mundy, D Pearce
HB: Sutcliffe, Silvagni, Johnson
FB: Spurr, Dawson, Duffield
R: Sandilands, Barlow, Crowley

I/C: Mzungu, Neale, Clarke
SUB: Morabito/de Boer

 

[Moist Biscuit]

I hate the sub rule, why can't we just play 18 and 4 on the bench

 

[YelloMit]

I hate the sub rule, why can't we just play 18 and 4 on the bench

I hate it too, but unfortunately that how it is now.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

I hate the sub rule, why can't we just play 18 and 4 on the bench

Coz then we would have one less "on ground" commentator per game

 

[pokerspiv]

Everyone hates the sub rule.

I believe originally the rationale was that having less on the bench would lead to a more open game. That proved to be rubbish. Now they apparently keep it primarily to offset the chance of a game being decided by injury luck.

No it's valid.....I do the exact same thing and I'm a bloke
