Preview Round 3 North vs Swans Saturday 1:45 pm: Changes & pre match discussion @Marvel

[7577969923]

We are fu**in on like donkey kong, as Whately says “we are in it up to our eyeballs this year”

Two games into the second year how good is the Polec/Pittard deal looking for us? I thought both were hugely influential against GWS and both looked to have really settled into the North game plan and team. Pittard a contender for best steak knives of all time.

Pittard a contender for best steak knives of all time.

He's good, but, no.

 

[7577969923]

He's good, but, no.

I would think Crisp at Collingwood currently the titleholder.

Unless you count Carey as the steak knives on the Longmire deal? In that case, the discussion can be closed forever

 

[Long Live the King]

Really hoping to see consistency...especially when we are expected to win. Sydney will come hard. We need to be ready.

 

[Only Forwards]

Carey as the steak knives on the Longmire deal?

It's a bingo.

 

[Asifhe Givashe]

If they had Buddy, I’d say we lose this.

But they don’t.

 

[hilly]

If they had Buddy, I’d say we lose this.

But they don’t.

They aren't very good with or without him. If we're concentrating we'll win.

Their reliance on Buddy is their greatest weakness and has been for years.

Swans went backwards when they got him. Big mistake. Not quite the same but close enough that maybe we should have taken notice before chasing Martin and Kelly.

I agree.

This is why it's a test for Rhyce I reckon.

Because they didn't win a flag? Please

 

[Passmore]

Because they didn't win a flag? Please

They did make 2 GFs and I think went in faves in both....at least in 2016.

 

[DuckYeah]

Yeh mate, who ate better steak knives? Please do not forget Rhyce is 2nd best defensive coach/team since inception

AA captain, multiple Coleman's. To be fair they probably dont make either of those without Franklin. Their decline has nothing to do with buddy's recruitment and more to do with the rapid decline of a number of their mainstays who at their peak were genuinely elite.

Yes, Crisp played many decent games.. was not pivotal in anything with substance.. neither is Jasper, lets just see how this one pans out

 

[DuckYeah]

Who ate knives?

I *in eat knives! Thats who
I eat people that are smart arse campaigners too... i’ll have a beer with ya

 

[Rad Roo]

Hall? For now maybe..
LDU

Completely different player, LDU perhaps competes with Thomas for the same position as this young up and coming mid who has this x-factor and can play a forward role. Hall when fit is expected to take up the top 3 mid role due to his experience

I think Crisp ran top 3 in Collingwood’s B&F last year. In a good side.

hall is done mate, move on, he has done NOTHING in a season and a half.. LDU fits in our team with the rest of the campaigners standing up.. Hall was worth * all and is really worth, * all

Really? He is a good footballer, takes the game on, kicks long

They made two grand finals just after he arrived. I guess you can argue it wasn’t a success, but they definitely didn’t go backwards.

Yep, hard for a back pocket to finish top 4 in your BnF, a lot harder to become a cult hero...

i’ll also accept Crisp as sensational steak knives, and after round 5 lastyear.. so is Pittard

 

[DuckYeah]

A statement must be made tomorrow arvo. Zurhaar streaming from half forward smacks Heeney into oblivion! Okay, im old school but thats footy

It’s disconcerting when you don’t know half the opposition.
