Preview Round 3 v Sydney MCG Sunday March 31st 4pm

[Spacedog]

Dow should not be playing. He has had 3 goes and been horrible every time. Hopefully he is sub and Sonsie gets a run in the midfield

 

[Rubber Hips]

Naismith should be in the side…he offers a competitive 2nd ruck and competitive resting forward

lefau played the worst debut game in afl vfl history yet gets another go

 

[Vassp]

And how is it when he kicks goals, applies pressure and plays well as he has so far this season. He was generally applauded on here after his game last week. MRJ did nothing in the practice matches and pretty much nothing in the games so far.

Cumberland may have flaws, but he has a fair bit of talent as well. If he plays well this week.. he'll be still in the ressies next week.

if were cumbo, id be looking to leave. discusting moves by our genius coaches.

 

[Barnzy]

I reckon the JON and Relton Roberts teams from a decade ago would give this named 22 a run for their money

 

[Lsta062]

Don’t care if Dow and banks struggle. They’re young keep playing them

I'll give you Banks, but this is Dow's 5th year.

I'd rather a player like McAuliffe getting a shot if that's what Dow's going to do with his opportunities

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

For better or for worse the team picked is one that they believe gives us the best chance of at least being able to run out the game instead of getting to about halfway through the 3rd quarter and the kids hit the wall and we see a 5-6 goal loss get blown out to a 10-12 goal loss. For those of you getting overly frustrated, it's going to be a very long season.

Good post mate. Another realist. Some in here expecting ridiculous miracles each week. I'm happy to believe the season will unearth a few good long term kids moving forward into 2025. The key for us is to absolutely nail the draft.

 

[tora tora tora]

So now mcauliffe will miss the vfl game too because he’s an emergency?

I think by game time there's just I emergency. He's better off playing VFL
I'm happy that sonsie is playing.
End of the day, not a bad 22.

Holy s**t can we sack Meehan

Rd4 only.

 

[Noidnadroj]

I can’t believe how easily everyone gets hoodwinked by the Tiger hating media …

This year Dusty has played 2 games and generated 4 x goals and goal assists and 15 x score involvements in a bottom 4 team - these are elite numbers …all with a troublesome calf.

Don’t get sucked in by the media narrative … every team would give their left nut for a half forward generating 2 x goals and GA and 7.5 x SI per game.

I have very quickly adjusted (much quicker than I thought) to the 08-11 mentality of us being shithouse. I find now that I just get more mad at the s**t umpiring we cop each week.

I just want to see the growth of the kids and progress being made for the next push in 3-5 years. Gotta say the terrible injury management doesn't help.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Not sure why Clarke was dropped. Was probably our best in the VFL in the lead up games. Then he is the sub and comes on late when the oppo got on top. He should have been given a full game as we need his speed and good left foot.

Should put a call out to Mark McQueen, Clinton King and Darryl Freame.

do you reckon the name darryl will make a comeback?

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

I’d put JON at the top of that list

To be fair, overall I prefer the precedent that's been set where we give our younger/inexperienced players a longer run in the team.

Admittedly, I thought Dow and Lefau should have been dropped but I like this better than just dropping them after one or two bad ones like Dimma did.

It's an exploratory year, I think we as fans need to embrace a bit of patience.

These are exactly the types of games that we Swans tend to lose.
